Venture east of Tollcross at your own peril

Glasgow Museum of Transport was relocated here a few (10?) years ago.
I worked there and it's well worth visiting ...

Tollcross in Glasgow is akin to Niddrie in Edinburgh MrB.
No worries MB.

I never saw it MrB but I bet the first thing he did with his lottery win was pay off his fines.

We had one in Dowham Market who won the Lottery. £22mill iirc. Him and his w@nker mates spunked the lot, including trashing a 6 bed house with a car in the swimming pool. Thick coont's back on the dustbins now.
MisterBadger, are you appearing on that school programme on BBC, Waterloo Road?
That's filmed just outside Glasgow.

BTW that's sofiasoftladkenny sitting on the bench near the start before he moved up to Aberdeen.
I always go to the Strand Comedy Club in the West End for a night out when I am in Glasgow. Small club with a very good atmosphere and the standard of acts is brilliant at least on weekends when I have always went. Sometimes you will get big name comedians playing. Think its like £10 on a Saturday and cheaper other nights. There is also a bar in it beside the stage.
Good night trilby and God Bless the Queen indeed. Long may she reign over us.
ah yes michael carroll another knuckle dragging sevco/newco mug.
Glesga - escaped it 25 years ago and haven't looked back.
It's nearly as bad as Aberdeen.

"once you get to know them"
takes all of 10 seconds, unlike Edinburgh where you can live with neighbours for years and never exchange a single word

Walking around the Barras is nice way to spend a Sunday morning. The Saracens Head in the Barras is a nice pub.

That's where I normally stay. The side street is called Kelvingrove Street but don't get confused.
Turn left when you come out the main entrance and it's about a fifteen/20 minutes walk if irc to the AG&M.
