Just a small town boy enjoying life in the big city As much as it pains me to say this, but going home is just like a pill - it can only be done in small doses. Now let's not get off on the wrong foot here; this isn't because of my family, far from it. My friends and family are easily the best thing about going home when I do choose to do so, it's more the place itself that's tough to take. Forfar - famous for its bridies and the amount of times its part-time football team have played live on Sky Sports against Rangers - is home to me. It's the town I grew up in for eighteen years but it's also the town I've grown out of in less than three years. I can vividly remember the first time I returned home after I left for Glasgow; it was about 11.30pm on a Saturday night, my dad had just picked me up from the train station and as we drove through the High Street of Forfar there was not a soul to be seen, pubs looked closed, the roads were quiet. This was the beginning, you wouldn't experience this in Glasgow - by that time on a Saturday night the streets would be mobbed and loud, the roads busy and the pubs and clubs full to the brim. While night life in Forfar tends to come to a halt around 1am at the latest, Glasgow is alive throughout the night. It's the hustle and bustle of Glasgow I miss most when I'm back in my hometown and after any more than a week there it's normally time to return. A sunny afternoon walk along East High Street (in Forfar) does not compare to one down Buchanan Street - there's a severe lack of buskers, a few less people and the choice of shops and restaurants are few and far between. The lack of transport in Forfar also plays a big part. In Glasgow I can just hop on a train or the subway to reach my destination but back in Forfar my options are limited to walking or the bus (of which I am not a big fan of) or a lift when it's possible. But at the end of the day it's what I can do in Glasgow and the options available to me that are the real appeal - museums, nightclubs, cinemas and professional sports teams on your door step. What more could a guy ask for from the place he lives? It's safe to say that I've adjusted to and love the life I live in Glasgow. Forfar will always be my hometown but having already spent the last three years in Glasgow there's no going back now.
