Aw, shucks...

Alan Rough, in a (I shit you not) branded people carrier, making an absolute mess of a reverse park on Corunna Street this afternoon.

First post in about three years!

Personally I would have liked to have seen the plinth clad in a more 'matte' finish. As for the tower, well...is that it? I have to admit to having a wee crush on the...

Basically, we're a bit horrified at the kind of prices for photography that we're finding, but w...

Very atmospheric.

(Can probably just-about-ish let you away with the fact they're not from Glasgow... )
