I thought it was about there. I did enjoy the taxi scene I still admire the streetscapes and buildings there. AS our US friends would say you have some mighty fine buildings there. Glasgow is a fantastic Victorian City. I see in Park Circus they still seem to have the carriage mounting blocks at the kerb. I dont think most weejies appreciate their city Why do you think that, Oz?

I think you mostly take it for granted without realising what you got. You have grown up with it and are used to it.
Not every one of course but you have allowed some remarkable building to be destroyed over the yearsincluding one one in Park Circus Place. It sticks out like dog's balls. That whole area should have had a heritage order put on it.
Glasgow Corp wanted to put parking metere throughout Park Circus area... sacrilege!!! TG they didnt.

In another hilarious bout of mentalness, the defence secretary Philip Hammond has warned that an independent Scotland would be at risk of attack from space as it wouldn't be part f the UK.
Hammond and his organ wre visiting a factory owned by the French company Thales, he obviously couldn't see the irony in saying that defence procurement wouldn't buy stuff from Scotland as it would be foreign.
Obviously or getting that the nukes are American, the new panes for the two white elephants are ameican, the drones are Israeli, the helicopters are Italian, most defence electronics is by Thales who are French.
Between that fannie Robertson and his forces of darkness and now Hammond and his organ, with their space attacks it looks like Star Wars is the new metaphor for project fear

From Alex Salmond's speech to conference the other day: Mr Salmond drew laughter when he mocked the apocalyptic claim by Lord George Robertson, Labour's former Defence Secretary, that "the forces of darkness would simply love it" if the UK broke up.
Citing some famous fictional villains, the long-serving SNP leader added: "Darth Vader, Ming the Merciless, the Klingons and Lex Luthor must all be watching the campaign closely.
"The Daleks, though, are not so happy. Word has reached them that Doctor Who is to be banned from an independent Scotland. That's the No campaign – totally laughable and completely ludicrous."Indeed!

Starwars is here, is he no a MP fae Govan? Erse frae Govan surely??? A failed dentist, I think. And, given that his party's "NO, the Horror" campaign uses a lot of the 'we don't want our family and friends who live elsewhere* in the U.K. to become FOREIGNERS, because being in a different country is somehow automatically scary and BAD, it was quite amusing to see his old Dad wander off to become Governor of the Punjab. * well, I say elsewhere in the U.K., but I notice that the people with this complaint always use England as an example. Poor old Wales is ignored. But, never mind: when Scotland leaves, there might even be a redesign of that Union Flag that includes Wales, for the first time ever.

You get used to being a furriner I have been officially one ever since you joined the EU. It hasnt altered my lifestyle one whit except I get in to UK by a shorter queue as a non EU citizen usually greeted by a dark complexioned person with a funny accent. They dont seem to understand my answer of "NO BLOODY WAY SPORT!!!" on being asked if I wish to apply for permanent residence. Apparently it is almost derigeur to apply on entry

Yes, I imagine Wales, post Yes, will be courted no end by Westmonster, don't you? The Welsh and the Norn Irish: prepared to be lovebombed and told how very very valuable you are to the UKE. For the first time, ever...
