The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Hi all I know I've been quiet recently - got distracted by some music sites and stuff, I do drop in from time to time, but never really had anything to add! But anyway I got my pack thru yesterday and since I'm #118 so I'm looking for sponsorship from some pretty major telephone directory companies....

great pics of the inside of the golden eagle. wasn't it a storm that damaged it so much that it had to be demolished?

It operated as a place for hiring bikes for a few years in the early 70s and then the markings were there to cycle on in the evenings and when it closed down.

Lots of signs, flags in Spanish allover Glasgow bars and billboards. Yes it's blatant opportunism, but at least for once someone is making an effort.

*What's the result - pal?

It's official - half of the electorate have an IQ below 100. I think its too simple to say that its easy to vote with a x and then a 1,2,3, - obviously the system failed and people got confused or weren't practised in the system. 17000 constituency and 9000 regional votes in Glasgow were invalid. Gl...
