Had cause to visit the Ravenscraig Gym for the first time yesterday. I have to say that a more vertiginous main entrance I have never encountered in all my travels. Thanks to an optical illusion caused by rising horizontal-ish ribs on the cladding, a forward leaning structure and a mild downward slope to the door there are no true references for the human eye to grab hold of. It fair knocks the Electric Brae into a hatted cock and should be considered one of the 7 wonders of the NorthLan world in my opinion.

Not really my story, but one I was relayed today as I was given the best of tales from my Fireman brother.

He was seconded recently to Clydebank fire station and was regaled one particular tale via others in the watch.

There was a Station Commander of the old school, who was not adverse to spouting forth chapter and verse from his own unique vernacular which would most *definitely* not fit in with today's everyday political correctness.

Anyway, back to the story in hand .. the watch at Clydebank was expecting a new member of crew after a recent retirement and the lads were eager to meet this new fellow firefighter. And, lo - he appeared. A fellow quite large of head. The cruel amongst us may say quite "'Mekon' like .. not being cruel I will say somewhat resemblant of the hydro-encephalitic.

In fact I shall be a bit more descriptive, and say that his physical abnormality left him looking like a light bulb in uniform.

So, moving on, individual introductions were made previous to roll call, and all was good .. then the Station Commander showed face and said roll call was sounded. Every man made himself known and present, up to and until the new body, who announced himself by name and rank.

The Station Commander, who remember - was not known for his tact, asked him to announce his full name. The fireman dutifully responded. The station master asked him what station he was hailing from .. the fireman in question said "I'm a new start .. this is my first posting"

The Station Commander asked "Where did you work before here then, son"

" I had a position in Glasgow University immediately before here, sir" replied the fireman.

The Station commander slowly drew his gaze to the bloke's enormous forehead and said, in a slow drawl .. "In the Uni son? Wereaboots? .. In a fuckin' jaur?"

i was in the tradeston ex servicemens club last night to celebrate my polish uncles 90th birthday.first time in there but curiosly it is in dumbreck.anyone able to enlighten me as to why?

[HollowHorn]

Not sure why, Banjo. Tradeston, as you know is a hive of activity, with thriving clubs, pubs & shops on every corner. Why on earth would the Tradeston branch of the Ex-Service Man's club feel the need to relocate to Dumbreck? I'm flummoxed.

Flummoxed. Paisley.

Went to a funeral today.
Someone I used to work with.
A doctor of the old school, a caring man, who was always available to advise and give wise consul.
I looked round the funeral palour, and saw a group of doctors who I had worked with (now all retired), and thought a generation has now gone and we won't see thier likes again in the NHS. Sad.
Sorry, wasn't really a not interesting fact about me.
