Wasn't Trainspotting set in Glasgow? Maybe not, it just seems I'd read that in the descriprtion when it came on a movie network here.

You mean you "win" against whatever film listing site it was, or you win against me? The book was most definitely not set in Glasgow and, although I got bored watching the film and gave up halfway through, I'd be very surprised had they moved it to Glasgow. Heavens, if they had set it in Glasgow, I should have had a greater chance of understanding the language used, for one thing.
