Right then...Moving swiftly on, as though I've been doing this site thing regularly all year, here's a wee page about Glasgow University that I've trotted out.To give you a treat for waiting so long for something new to appear on the site, I've even given you a link on this new page to a video starring my goodself. I was invited to take part in a travel show being filmed last year for Icelandic TV, so yes, that's right, I'm now a pretty big deal in these here parts, so if you'd like to queue in an orderly fashion I'll sort out some autographs...Still got a few other new pages up my sleeve, so maybe this time next year you'll see something else being added.

Welcome to the Botanic Gardens Glasgow
2011-11-29 15:18:00 Quite the year I tell you. Quite the year.I've chosen to kick start the ol' Top Ten Glasgow Guide again with a page on the Botanic Gardens Glasgow. Nothing better than a bit of fresh air and greenery to get the puff back in the chest, and with this renewed sense of motivation I've already plugged ol' Faither back into the computer for some more Glasgow Generations podcast revelry soon, and have also started work on a page about Tinto Tapas Bar, the final piece of the restaurant section jigsaw, and hope to have it up soon. Once that's completed though, I'm planning on visiting and writing about the new Don Costanzo restaurant that's opened up following the tragic closure of Costanzo's old place, Ristorante Caprese (it's at 13 Woodside Crescent, Glasgow, and their new telephone number is +44 141 332 3070).I feel I have to apologise for not working on the site in 2011, although I'm continually flabbergasted at the regularity throughout the year of your interest and emails des...

Some superb Glasgow jokes
2009-11-20 11:43:00 Thanks go to my brother Steven for sending me through some fantastic Glasgow jokes, and I've now hurried them into my Glesca Patter section on the site to give you another flavour of Glaswegian humour.A wee example for you for starters -While being interviewed for a job as a bus driver, a guy is asked:"What would you do if you had a rowdy passenger?""I'd put him off at the next stop," he says."Good. And what would you do if you couldn't get the fare?""I'd take the first two weeks in August," he replies.Now, if you don't get that, you're likely not from Scotland so don't worry (it's about the Glasgow Fair holiday, and he's saying that...ach, who cares...), but feel free to have a look at the rest - there's some real gems in there and if you've got any of your own, fire them over to me and I'll list them on the page.
Tony Roma's Glasgow - best ribs in town
2009-11-10 18:14:00 With only one box left to tick in the restaurant section, comes my new review of Tony Roma's Glasgow restaurant, definitely the best place in town for ribs.Have a read about why this place exists in direct contradiction with the extreme sports centre in which it resides, and how much over the years it's begun to stick happily to my fingers as a good slab of ribs should.Once I finish off my little piece on the Sisters restaurant in Glasgow that'll be my eating out section done for now, leaving me free to focus on ploughing my way through the attractions bit.A hard slog I know, but someone's got to do it...

No Smoking In Glasgow
2008-10-24 17:38:00 I have probably heard around twenty-five shows from the Bigger Bang tour in bootleg form now. This is one of the better ones for some reason. It is soundboard quality, no crowd noise, great balance. But what really attracted me was the great version of Sway. The RS messageboards were going a bit nuts when the band unleashed Sway during the last tour and I was excited to hear it too. I have one other version from the Stateside tour, but the Glasgow version is superior due to the bigger guitar sound that I think the song needs. It has more swing in this version. I know that my Rolling Stones writing output has been sporadic at best throughout 2008. I never followed up on Shine A Light, but it was an amazing experience I should have written about. I really felt like I had seen the band after the film was over. I saw at the Imax as I imagine it was meant to be seen and I wish I had gone back. At the same time, the film made me a bit sad. Although the band always tries hard to come acros...

Monday, August 25th, 2008: Helsingborg to Glasgow to Montreal to London
2008-08-25 09:13:00 What I think:I just got back last Thursday night after a two-week trip. The main purpose of the journey was to attend a 26th-year high school reunion in Montreal, but I had been incessantly nagged by a friend to visit her in Glasgow for the past few years so, since I had to fly via London anyway (no direct flights to Montreal from Copenhagen), I thought I'd take the opportunity to make a detour up to Glasgow, as I had never been, and was pretty much passing by, and boy-oh-boy this was a long sentence (*stops for breath*).My girlfriend and I got on the ferry from Helsingborg to Helsingör (that's Elsinore, home of Hamlet's castle, for all you Shakespeare buffs) with our backpacks, went up to the sun deck, sat down and started eating the sandwiches we'd bought. So far so good. Then there was this bloody wasp buzzing around. I waited for it to land on the table and swatted it with a napkin. Got him. Or did I? Nope. There was a bit of a gap between my fingers, and the little bugger c...
