Clockwork Orange

The underground subway in Glasgow is orange. And it goes in a loop. There are 15 stops. Last night we went on an infamous Clockwork Orange: a subway pubcrawl. The objective is to get out at every subway stop, head to the pub that is closest to the station, have a pint, then on you hop and get out at the next station 2 min down the line and repeat. I have a video of the shenanigans, but can't upload it here for some sad reason. If you're mind friend look on my FB page to share in the havock. The vid is from about 9 hrs in to the crawl. Involves drunken slurring from me, the train driving closing the window and refusing to acknowledge us, Lyall and Ben doing gymnastics between the hand rails on the carriage, and some free style rapping from a wicked Glaswegian who witnessed our ridiculous behaviour. Mum joined us for two stops (then managed to get lost on her way home, after 2 pints. Oh mother!). Top work Phil for being one of the main organisers, to Ben for knowing what the hell was happening most of the time, to Arttu and his European friends for doing the whole slog, but definitely not to the man at St Georges Cross who wouldn't let me through the turn style at the station.
