Re: The Dusty Graveyard Of The Big, Red Firetrucks.

Why is Glasgow History sitting there, gathering dust ? Get them out, tart them up and put them on display, somewhere !

Re: Whit's fur tea?

For first time in a while, I had Stovies, made as my dear old Mum used to make them when I was a kid ! I know there's lots of different recipes for Stovies but the only change I made to Mum's recipe; sausages, onion and sliced potato in OXO cube gravy, was to add some garlic and capsicum. Came up be...

Re: Glasgow’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Remember it well, Robert !

It's one of the first songs I learned to play on my guitar and sing along to, not that I've got much of a voice.

Re: Commonwealth Games opening in pictures

Watched from Oz and the scenes from the Opening Ceremony were terrific. But what about our local commentator, watching from the confines of his studio in Melbourne or Sydney while watching, returned to the action by saying ... "we now return you to the action at Celtic Park, home of Glasgow's m...

Re: Whit's fur tea?

Back to work after the Spring School Holidays tomorrow, so I thought I'd give myself a wee treat ! Roast Lamb coated in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh herbs, from my own garden, with roast potato, pumpkin, carrot and eschalonions on the side, accompanied by a lovely bottle of South Australian Sauv...

Re: You know you're getting old when.....

... when they have a Grandparent's Day at the school you teach at and you're the oldest person in your class room !

... you end up teaching the children of someone you taught !

... (worse still) you end up teaching the grandchildren of someone you taught !

Re: Oyster vs Bramble...

What's wrong with calling it 'TravelCard', or is that too simple for the overpaid wankers (aka committee members) who are forced to make such wonderful decisions to justify their existence and inordinately high salaries ?

Re: Red Road demolition 10th June

I'm reading this and video of the demolition has just appeared on on my local television news ! An amazing coincidence but one which, once again, reminds me of my ties with the Glasgow I left, as a ten year old, in December 1960. Thank you, HG, for allowing me to keep in contact with my roots ! Tomb...

Re: Am I the only one?

They're mostly Yuppies, Dot, and the Yuppy desire is to be seen doing something out of the ordinary !

They don't care about the dog or the bub in the pram !
