The Hidden Glasgow Forums

In terms of murder rates and crimes, the thing about Glasgow is that these things just seem to happen randomly - without any real reason behind an attack.

In the rest of Europe you might get done in, but it'll be because they want your wallet or your ipod.

Does that seem accurate?

I used to stick up for glasgow, but since starting working on the trains and seeing the shite that the residents leave behind, i dont anymore...we're a manky town with manky residents. I agree with that but it's not just a Glasgow problem, it goes through the whole of Scotland. It's full of people ...

Good luck finding somewhere.

One of my friends says the best gig he's ever been to was a Frightened Rabbit one!

The museums are free

My usual work is about 15 minutes walk on foot.

My current, temporary, job is a 17 minute walk to the train station; 20ish minutes on the train to High St; then 5-10 minutes to the office.

There's a coffee shop next to the new Tesco on Dumbarton Road which says free wifi on the sign. I've never been in though.

Peckhams cafe on Glassford St can now be added to the list.

And I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but so does Biblocafe on Woodlands Rd.

Beside Loch Morar

McEwan's Lager is back, and I actually think it tastes quite good! (Considering that it's priced alongside Tennent's & Carling at least)

I can confirm it's sold in Solid Rock & Comittee Rm No. 9. And cafe Mambo in Aviemore...

I guess it makes sense now, given that the West Highland Way path is very flat and railway-like.

I think this season has been great so far. The podiums have been full of teams outside the major ones.
