East Kilbride may not be a thriving cosmopolitan town but it is pretty clean, the transport links are good, plenty of local high tech jobs and if you are lucky enough not to get knifed one night by some boozed up gang of neds then it's an OK place to live. It's not for me, although my last gig was there.Originally posted by Churchill View PostFTFY!

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

All the industry has gone, steel, coal and pottery - the heart has been ripped out of it I find it all very depressing.
Mind you we do have a Premier league side - so not all bad eh?
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
