We are sitting in Cincin's on Saturday afternoon and i say to Brian "come on let's go and sample some Scottish culture". So we turn out of the main door and within 200 yards we come across what first appears to be an upside down bathtub........Brian starts laughing saying things like "you wouldn't see that back in the states".
Now i have a scottish wife and we regularly come to Scotland for a long weekend to visit relative's and to get some much needed fresh air. So i took it on myself to defend my Scottish brother's.
Look here my American friend this is in fact a very famous Salvador dali piece called "The Bathtub" (1976) created by the great man himself after the hugely successful painting titled "The Chair" (1975) commissioned by Glasgow Council for the meagre sum of £30,000 for the soul purpose to show the world the integrity of the scottish people and has been here untouched since 1976.
Brian says " Wow , i hear you buddy" and we continue walking towards the bridge he then ask's what's this little thing called? and i reply "You ingnoramus, this is the world famous Glasgow bridge , it took 14 years to complete and 3 men lost there lives in the making. Please Brian show some respect, to which he reply's "If that was built back in the good ole USA that bridge would have taken just 4 weeks to complete without a nail been cracked".

Now, i'm getting a bit annoyed now and even more dertermined to show him some off Scotland's finest place's . We head straight into Jamacia street , turn left at Mcdonalds right at TGI Friday's and stopped off for a quick caffe latte in starbucks........now as you can clearly see my argument is starting to look a little flat now and falling on it's arse .

I then decide maybe if we get out of the city and into the beautifull countryside , then even this chump could see that scotland was far a greater place than his good ole USA could ever be.
We go to the fantastic Victorian train station to catch a train to Edinboro as he like's to call it." How long did this station take to build "he ask's,
"12 years 4 month's " i reply already knowing what's next. If this station was built back in the states it woulda taken 2 years !!!!!.

We arrive in Edinburgh and standing upon the core of an extinct volcano high up in the sky is a huge castle. " WOW HOLY SHIT WHAT'S THAT THING" our little american friend ask's...........to which i reply "dont know Brian , It wasn't there this morning".
