   Wouldn't your Glaswegian workmates accept you as 'wannaraboyz' ?   
      
   Such a shame that you had to associate with the local tinks in order   
   to become this 'Honorary Highlander 1st class' when you could have   
   been, with a little effort and buying a round (or three), a Glaswegian   
   with the splendid title of, 'Haw Big Man' !   
      
   Still, I suppose that you were prepared to accept second best when   
   it was, at least, an improvement over your '*ffin *nglish' status !
