Oh, Madders, you are the mistress of understatement. As I remember, the bloke who ran it looked like Reece Shearsmith and got a bit upset when we called our team "You look like Reece Shearsmith". Bonus points were awarded for some bloke being able to stretch his bawbag over a pint glass, and then to anyone willing to drink from said pint glass. The tie break was settled by a race around the block.
I have no idea if this makes it suitable for civil servants on the piss or not.
However, as a pub, it has cheap drinks and a pool table and big sofas. It used to be OK.

anyway, look, this is important but i'm only going to mention it once 'cos this kind of thing might not be good ILE etiquette. but if you care about scotland's finest cinema and don't want it turned into a shit pub that's probably even worse than the tap then, umm, click there.

All cinema saving spam should be accompanied by the atari penis face graphic. Apart from that, it's fine.

The people involved need a good pistol whipping. Just for starters.

during the summer of 1994, i think i went to the cameo every single day. and it's where i saw trainspotting for the first time. and deliverance. and the big blue. and carlito's way. and when we were kings. i love that place; like aldo says, closing it would be like shutting the door on something monumental in my life.

we also went to see "beavis and butt-head do america" at the ABC, or whatever it was called ;)
god, trees lounge. what an amazing wee film.
other great cameo associations: smoke and blue in the face. i'd have given up long before if it hadn't been for those two.

Do you still get points for the record shop staff if you see them in the record shops? The 'Hurley from Lost' HMV guy should be included.

seriously: i can live with waiting for the thread to open. it adds to the anticipation. but if glasgow is borking ILX, even slightly, that would be a bad thing. however, i have no idea whether it is or not.

Patience is a rare commodity these days, this thread allows us to relearn waiting.
