It appears to be about growing up in '70s Glasgow. Looks quite good I thought.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

Good friend of mine worked on the film and is totally livid it never even got a mention at the baftas while it gained the best film award at the San Sebastian Film Festival. THe GF went to that school (St Lourdes) and ended up with a degree in medicine, far worse places in Glasgow to live in.Comment

Neds are like chavs in Scotland. I lived up there for 10 year and loved it! Here's a quick glossary;
Scheme - Council Estate
Where do you stay? - Where do you live?
Kenwaramin? - Do you understand what I mean?
Flids - Floods - not Thalidomide Victims as I thought!
Brig - Bridge
Pint o' heavy - Pint of Bitter
A Poon shot - a pound's worth of Whisky
Blether - chat/talk
Greetin' - crying
Guisin' - Trick or Treating
Jag - Injection, Jab...
A Wee Malky - A headbut
Buckie - Buckfast Abbey Tonic Wine - vile stuff
Wynd - Narrow side Street
I'll think of some more!Comment

Check out too 2002's The Magdelene Sisters also by Mullen, filmed in the village I lived in at the time (Moniaive, Dumfries and Galloway) and in and around Dumfries, shocking indictment.Comment

You forgot "Chib". Any good "weegie" should be able to cunjugate the verb "to chib" and the more educated ones to do so in latin.Originally posted by stek View PostNeds are like chavs in Scotland. I lived up there for 10 year and loved it! Here's a quick glossary;
