I thought this was gonna be a Rumpy Pumpkin thread. Hold on, she'll be along in a minute.....

I'm not from Ayrshite (that was a typo but i'm gonna leave it in....) but it is my spiritual home. incidentally a small taking sides could be introduced: Ayr or Kilmarnock...

I dunno that you'd get much response....

― smee (smee), Friday, 30 April 2004 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

surely EVERYONE has an opinion on that....

I stayed in Largs for a bit. It was quite pretty and I got good fish & chips there. Also, Vikingar!

I liked going to play on the puggies in largs.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 30 April 2004 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Largs sux. Although good chips and nice sweeties....

Well I was hatched & despatched from a small town not far from Largs (or Largs-Vegas as we call it) and Ayrshire mainly sucks the boab, Argyle on the other hand rocks a big fat one.

I used to live in Ayr until I was 6!

Classic. It's no Lanarkshire, though.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 30 April 2004 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

On the subject of Lanarkshire...since when was Glasgow in Lanarkshire? I keep getting junk mail with Glasgow, Lanarkshire on the address label - what mentalist put that in the junk mail database? Hmmmm?!!!

― smee (smee), Friday, 30 April 2004 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

You mean, Glasgow isn't in Lanarkshire?

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 30 April 2004 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

glasgow is in lanarkshire and it is in strathclyde and it is in glasgow.

ayr is miles better than kilmarnock.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 April 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Glasgow is not in fucking lanarkshire! Glasgow is a free floating entity, a city state that is rudely colonised by Scotland/Britain...

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i can remember playing 'track & field' in largs until my fingers nearly fell off.

Are you Stevie Jackson?

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

is stevie jackson still commonly called Stevie 'Reverb' Jackson, or is it only me that does that?

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

The electric brae!!!!~~~

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

oh the electric brae is mega. and culzean castle's a joy also...

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

(if you turn off the engine and wait a few seconds you can hear the wail of a fender telecaster, coming from somewhere near Erskine)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been to Ayr. It was cloudy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a slight escapist fantasy of moving to ayr, living with my gran, and walking moodily by the sea...

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Friday, 30 April 2004 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I say: give it a go.

I'm from ayrshire.

the electric brae yes!!!

culzean castle yes!!!

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Vikingar itself is exceptionally dull - but they do have a Viking festival which is rather cool. Electric Brae is a bit shit, but I'm not entirely sure what I expected. I wuv Culzean Castle and spent lots of Sundays there last year walking round the gardens and that, stopping off at Cardwell Bay on the way home. Hmmmm. A plan for this afternoon is forming....

Also, Ayrshire plays host to all the mentalist hard bastards in the Scottish Junior League therefore is classic.

the buffs, ailsa.

One of the least surprising survey results ever:

I imagine the Daily Record added this detail to explain the incongruity of this happening in Livingston:
