A catholic Liverpudlian expression derived from the symbolic use of the railway station before the Mersey tunnel and the last stop. Also heard phrased as <i>jump off at Edgehill</i>. Other UK cities also have their own variations, such as <i>get off at Paisley</i>, used in Glasgow; <i>get off at Gateshead</i>, used in Newcastle-upon-Tyne; <i>get off at Haymarket</i>, used in Edinburgh.<br /><br /><b>Glesga kiss</b> <i>Noun</i>.

As to the famine V the elderly man with shaving cream on his face, I pass!<br /><br /><b>Jim</b><br />Now you have the advantage over me: Jumping off at Paisley and a Glasgow Kiss I do not know - I've led a VERY sheltered life!<br /><br />All I can think, re the painting's lack of publicity is that it is an early work which pre-dates most of the popular ones. Having said which, it is later than "The Kiss" and - in my opinion - draws on it.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-4958328323607450402011-07-20T11:07:14.052+01:002011-07-20T11:07:14.052+01:00Needless to say when my wife first came over here ...Needless to say when my wife first came over here there were a number of expressions that were unknown to her: sending someone to Coventry, jumping off at Paisley, giving someone a Glasgow kiss. I though I knew all his paintings but I don't recall seeing this one before. I wonder why it isn't reproduced more? It's very good.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-6388770397575072492011-07-20T09:37:54.840+01:002011-07-20T09:37:54.840+01:00wonderful....did you see the programme with the wa...wonderful....did you see the programme with the war pics of the bombing in Coventry this week? the John Piper painting was called .."our Guernica" I think that the shenanigans going on at the moment would interest Shiele and Klimt and maybe Piper as well. Not a word in the paper about the famine only an elderly man with shaving cream on his face.
