it's only been up for a couple of hours, give the word some time to spread!

Glasgow University's pet dinosaur (no, not the principal) has been sitting around, minding her own business outside the Gilbert Scott building for nearly five years now. I found out today that she's due to be removed on Tuesday. There's a petition to save her at http://www.petitiononline.com/millie ...

I was actually wondering about the ventilation last night as I was driving through - the tunnel was fairly smoky, and I couldn't work out if it was as a result of a particularly belchy lorry, or two way traffic meaning fumes weren't getting a chance to be wafted in the same direction..

The Abbey has a pink sign that says Abbey, and a pink cash machine. Other than that, it's much the same. Although it appears that the company has changed its logo again, following the takeover by Santander.

Last time I was at the Quay, I walked down from Sheilds Road - but by the time I came back, the gate at the side of the Odeon was locked, and I had to go around past the Burger King and back -- couldn't fathom any particular reason why they do that, given that it's totally open at the Kingston Bridg...

Did you enjoy the show? I did, but not as much as I would have done if they'd started earlier. We were wondering if it was some sort of social experiment, or perhaps we were the show, or something. Definitely nowhere near as fun as their last tour, where there were goodie bags, and a brilliant game...

in the Usher Hall, no less.

So who's the Jelly fan? And were you too pissed off at having to stand around for two and a half hours before they came on stage?

My sister (who always seems to be the one who tells me about such things) has just sent me a text to say the Mitchell Library is on fire. Are you suggesting there may be a connecting implication? I'm beginning to think that there might be.. Sorry for the misinformation - she said there were lots of...

I think I'll head down there to investigate..
