I never thought I'd find the Three Graces in Ibrox.

The year is 2050 and Hazy is talking to the grandchildren.

Kids " Grandad Grandad tell us the story of the buildings in the sky"
Auld Hazy " ok kids sit back. Once upon a time Glasgow had all these really tall buildings some ugly some not so ugly and some where just there, any way kids it was like a street that instead of going along a road went up to the sky"
Kids " Woo" Grandad did you ever go up in them".
Auld Hazy " Yes kids I did"
Kids " Your ever so brave Grandand
Auld Hazy " I know"
Kids " And did people actually live in them in the sky"
Auld Hazy " Yup "
Kids " And what happend to them all the sky buildings Grandad
Auld Hazy "Reenie Bujman arrived in town"

I have become the Big Bad Wolf.

Or should that be The Curse of the WereReenie?

So its you they're referring to on Dr Who, Reenie...Bad Wolf...::):

I haven't been following this, so I had to look it up.

For what it's worth, I'm a long suffering Wolverhampton Wanderers fan (30 years) and about ten years ago, I went to watch them at Bristol City's Ashton Gate stadium. The Wolves mascot is, naturally, a Wolf, named, predictably, "Wolfie".

Bristol City's sponsors put up three little pigs for the half-time kick-around. This soon degenerated into a fist-fight which was eventually split up by the City Cat (who was none other than my postman at the time...)

Wolves won the match 6-1.

So there is a precedent for a conjunction of wolf, pigs and football stadium.

Three little piggies of Ibrox: you have been warned...

Heh heh, brilliant story Reenie!!

I'll be quite glad to see those high rises gone, I just do not like them at all. Not just those, any high rise flats. Ug-lee!

[big/davie]

When are these coming down ? got a birdseye view when they do in their sister flats along the road,gha have been saying for the last 6 years there coming down,supposed to be down next year,but they might change their mind again.

Thanks Roy. They look even worse than when I went 'round there a few months back.

anyone got a date yet of when the big day is?

[GirvanGirl]

I've been trying to find out for a while what's happening with this, but no joy.

I had wondered though if it might be another nightime demolition, as they did in Sighthill, as it's very close to the railway line to Paisley/Ayr/Largs etc

[BrigitDoon]

If Fountainwell had been any closer to the line, trains would have run through its foundations. Millarston was quite close to the line, but the most southerly of the Broomloan trio appears to be no closer to the line than was Stirlingfauld. I'm hoping we get a regular Sunday blowdown.

I want to be there. I used to live on the 14th floor of Iona Court. Phew.

[BrigitDoon]

Phew.

Got out in the nick of time, then?
