Fun blog written by an American living in “the most violent city in the developed world.” (a.k.a. Glasgow, where my family tree is firmly – possibly violently – rooted.) You need a healthy sense of humour if you’re to live amongst the Scots, for they have no mercy on those who can’t take a joke. Luckily for her, she seems to be able to handle her own:
Scientists at Dublin University found traces of cocaine on 100% of the Irish bank notes that they tested. One hundred percent! Maybe there’s a dark side to Ireland’s recent economic success.
Actually, I’m quite fond of the Irish. Many of my university friends were from Ireland, and I always admired their cheerful liveliness. Sadly, I now realise that they weren’t naturally exuberant, just cracked out on blow.
