Oh no ! I never did get to see Wilma in performance :O(

Oh Bugg*r. what have I done ! I moved from Kirkintilloch (East Dunbartonshire No.1) to Maidenhead (near Reading, Berkshire No. 408 (LAST)). The weans'll never forgive me. The survey is definitely right about one thing --- there's no sense of community here. I've rarely spoken to my neighbours in six...

I'd be interested to find out more about the building materials used in the city. Not concrete, steel and glass. Although sandstone predominates around the city, I seem to recall reading that there is only one major building in Glasgow made from Portland stone (in St.Vincent Street, I think). Also.....

The IT department was called 'Software Support' in the 80's (I kid ye not).

I took my young daughters into Tams last summer to show them a real joke/trick shop. The wee wummin behind the counter wouldn't sell them anything in the display cabinets at the far end of the shop because they were for 'real' magicians or magic circle members only. They were well impressed.

Yeah...the bigger the cushion...the sweeter the pushin'

Sounds a bit like 'The Cabin'.

I've been there though there was no Wilma (she was ill, apparently) but it definitely had that ambience you mentioned. Food was pretty good too.

'Buddha Da' by Anne Donovan is quite an entertaining and different kind of story based in Glasgow. I liked it because it reminded of the meditation courses I did at the Glasgow Buddhist Centre in Sauchiehall Street years ago.

I'd like to nominate Melissa Theuriau --- she's definitely a bit of oh-la-la.



She even moves about and speaks here:
