If you would like to dance the night away in plush surroundings, drink only
the best wines and beers that money can buy, look at all the beautiful, tall
model_like young Glasweigen females then theres only one club for you.
The Savoy in Glasgows Saucihall Street will be waiting to welcome you.
 If you have difficulty finding us just stop the first fat slag or
whore you meet and ask her where the Savy is and I'm sure she'll give
you directions.
