A Glesga Kiss

So how's aboot
A smooch then hen?

Helen - not quite sure what a winch is, but hope its something raunchy! Great memories of a Glaswegian mate of my Dad's when I was a kid - could never tell whether he was sober or not, but he was always loud and extremely funny. Also reminds me of 'The Big Yin' and the video tapes of his live shows. I always thought 'A Glesga Kiss' was a head butt, which I suppose that only reflects the class of Scot I have been acquainted with! Haha Have it.xx

Thanks you lot for your cracking comments :) brought a little smile to my face :) x
So busy translating I missed the rhyme scheme at first reading. Lovely, funny and warm. Thank you.
Wonderful, and as a southerner I just about got the measure of it. God, this north south divide is a real curse, but then again long may it survive ! Ray
I felt very Scottish reading this. Great work :)
I like this, Helen. It reminds me of long departed youth in Belfast: slightly different accent, but similar scenario. :-)
They used to speak like that in Corby too. Half the time I didn't know whether the locals were drunk or sober! It took me two years to understand a message was an errand!

Hi Helen
Enjoyed! You've given me inspiration to write about the Salford Kiss.
