The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I found these guys always reasonable http://www.performancetyres.net/ The offer all the major brands but also do a budget tyre range. The budget tyres definitely don't offer the same level of grip

Deathwatch the cult movie shot on location in Glasgow is being shown at the GFT on 26th of this month as part of the Glasgow Film Festival followed by a Q and A with director Bertrand Tavernier. Contact GFT for tickets and more info.

The other wedding trend that I disagree with is having Stag and Hen "nights" that actually last a week. Last year I was invited to a Stag party by a former colleague. It consisted of a week long holiday in Amsterdam. I had to decline the invite as there was no way I could afford to blow th...

It has been suggested that I will know you lot are in the area when I hear the deafening sound of rattling walking stick and and the crash of dropped Zimmer frames accompanied by the overpowering stench of Werther's Originals ::): Bowling Harbour is not looking at its best at the moment having suffe...

What time would you estimate arriving at Bowling? I live in Old Kilpatrick and I would like to meet up with you at the harbour.

Boxer, I am really sorry to hear you are struggling. I found the support I got from the wonderful human beings on this forum really uplifting. It also helped reading other peoples stories on this blog http://time-to-change.org.uk/blog/categories/depression" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fal...

Living in Old Kilpatrick this is local for me. I will be heading along for sure. Was at last years start at Blythswood Sq. Get up close to some exotic machinery. A great spectacle and its free.

Yes Dave that is the very one. Well done, some great photos there.

The body to the bottom right of the moon is in roughly the correct position for Venus but Jupiter should be to the right and slightly above the moon. My main doubt though is the magnification used seems to be very high and would give a narrow depth of field so I think that you have picked out a coup...

A really clear sky tonight over Glasgow. If you look up you will see the crescent Moon, just below and to the right Venus is clearly seen and above the Moon and to the left is Jupiter shining brightly. This is the brightest I have seen all three in many years. I dont have a camera that can cope with...

Not exactly Swedgers but a tasty snack of days gone by none the less. I have been trying to find Brannigan's Beer Nuts without success.
They were peanuts roasted in their skins coated with a glaze of crystallised sea salt flakes.
Any one know if they are still available?

You guys made me cry but not because of a depressive episode or my feelings of shame at falling off the wagon, you made me cry with relief knowing there are a great bunch of people who understand and offer support. I feel humbled and privileged to know all of you even in this virtual world we inhabi...

Thank you for the kind words. I'm afraid to say a good part of my current position is self inflicted. I was at a Glasgow Warriors match last month and after 10 months sober thought it would be ok to have just one wee malt to celebrate our win. WRONG . Back to square one and I am so disgusted with my...

Unfortunately my big black dog has his teeth grasping me firmly by the balls and I am finding it difficult to cope at the moment.

I remember these independent dealerships in the days BC. (Before Clark) Westcars - Crow Road - Saab and Colt (now called Mitsubishi) Westcars - Barrhead Road - Audi, Nsu, VW. Brian Coyle one of the owners of Westcars won the London to Sydney Marathon Rally with Andrew Cowan in a detuned Hilman Hunte...
