Glesga Pals

This is a fantastic site for Glasgow folk that live or have lived in Bridgeton. Even if you don't come from the East End of Glasgow, there are many interesting articles about Glasgow's past that makes wonderful reading. It's full of photos of Glasgow old and new, and the two message boards are amusing, and sometimes thought provoking.

On 22 September 2006, Glesga Pals held their bi-annual 'Swally' (social drink) in Glasgow. The Glesga Pals' webmaster sang The Glasgow Song accompanied by Bud on the guitar.

Here's a wee poem from a Glesga Pal, MaggieM, written on 29 February 2008, which give you an idea of what Glesga Pals is all about. My thanks to MaggieM for permission to reproduce it here.

A thread that runs aroon this wurld
A tie that binds us aw'
A link tae hame fur those away
Who still hear Glesga’s call

So many in the USA
From sea tae shining sea
We’re spread oot o'er Canada
Nova Scotia tae B.C.

Thailand, France, South Africa
We’ve all found pals from there
The British Isles, New Zealand too
Advance Australia fair

Each corner of the world is here
Tae laugh and reminisce
Of places, people, bygone days
And the city that we miss

So raise a gless, dear GlesgaPals
And shout a hearty cheer
Let’s toast Webmaister McArthur
It’s thanks tae him we’re here
