Was that picture taken from a plane or something, because it is the tallest building around (As far as I am aware, the UGC is slightly smaller).
It offers the most wonderful views out over the North and South of Glasgow - I just wish they had put windows' in the West and East sides as well and not left them as a plain (but oddly impressive) wall.
you could see right down onto the Queen Street low level lines' and everything.
Still a hideous place though.
P.S. if you can, please avoid the lifts' as they are just dodgy.
They have recently done up the old supplies' lift as an extra one, but it is just sinister.
The 3 older ones keep on breaking down and the emergency Bells' were often a usual sound.
I was put off them totally after one of them apparently had motor problems and let the lift free fall about 3 floors'.
- Skidmark time methinks!
The odd thing was, that I had just had a dream before hand where I was in one of them and the wires snapped.
I woke up just before we hit the bottom, but I was there falling with it - it was so real.
I was already wary of them because of that, but after what happened, they just scared me for good.
12 flights' of stairs' is quite nice, particularly when you run up them..........
I can always rely on this forum to make myself feel about 10 times worse than I did before
