Pollok FC v Largs Thistle on Saturday afternoon in Shawlands; 2pm kick off, entry a mere £5!

Jedward doing the Christmas lights at Braehead on Thursday!

Paisley has got Olly Murs and THE SINGING KETTLE turning theirs on a week on Saturday.

The Singing Kettle! I didn't know they were still active. Do you think it's unrealistic to hope I get picked from the audience to come on stage and sing with them as they do at their shows?

Zombie Walk today at 3pm in Kelvingrove Park.

Yeah, we're going to see Olly Murs to continue our tradition of going to support our local council doing something and then getting cold and going to the pub and missing all the acts :-) We do get an X Factor reject every single year now for the lights or the fireworks or both, but presumably boat pushed out too much paying for Olly Murs to afford one for the fireworks, and they've got, somewhat ridiculously, a Paolo Nutini tribute act.

Zombie Walk!

great photos!

haha, I just saw an advert for the new Sydney Devine album on the telly "available from record shops and woollen mills". Love Scotland.

Thanks! It was great fun to watch - the costumes and dedication to the cause were a pleasure to behold.

yeah gd fun pics kraks, zomb in pic 2 is esp impressive

have been following w/ interest ppl's tips for places to go/sights to see.... after four years here, still feel there are huge areas of the city i know nothing abt... keep meaning to buy an all-day bus ticket one day and go roaming w a map... living in dennistoun, my default 'trip' is the cathedral/necropolis... i love the views from the top of alexandra park, too

over time, i have become v attached to the rousseau and voltaire 2nd hand bkshop down otago lane, off kelvinbridge... it is proper old skool eccentric musty bibliophillia, books stacked everywhere floor to ceiling, the stock is gd and changes all the time, prices are mostly v fair, and the hippy tea shop round the corner does a delish pot of milk oolong

Excellent pictures of the zombie walk!

tachai ovna is one of the greatest things about glasgow.

... if you're a hippy. :D

Or if you like tea (I am not a hippy and I don't like tea. I've also never been in Tchai Ovna).

you should go, it's other-worldly!

midnight and thick snow in dennistoun... here we go again

Woohoo!

Alexandra Park, Dennistoun earlier today...

wowza. nice composition too :)

Thanks! It was rather lovely up there.

Everywhere looks lovely in the snow! Even Dennistoun :-)

v nice krakow. walking home at 3am or so last night i was sad to have used all of my disposable camera photos on people sitting around doing not much. now we have about six inches over here and it's both lovely and, when huge sheets fall off of the roofs, kinda terrifying.

(also encountered the loudest and freakiest thunderstorm i'd ever heard last night. and so did all of my friends who were woken by it. <3 u mad weather.)

oh i didn't hear that.

Me neither.

I think I'm going to try cycling to a gig in the west end tonight. The main roads look clear but wet.

oh no, i'm in dundee, sorry. shamefully using the glasgow thread as a scotland-wide thread here.

gtfo!

(joke)

:''(

gonna go start a dundee thread and talk to myself.

i dunno, maybe some dundonian junkie will keep off selling a laptop he's burgled off someone long enough to stumble across ilx.

just thinking about dundee has me googling mcgonagall:

Ye sons of Great Britain, I think no shame
To write in praise of brave General Graham!
Whose name will be handed down to posterity without any stigma,
Because, at the battle of El-Teb, he defeated Osman Digna.

Wow, look at the Park! Which bit was that pic taken, over on the golf course?

Yeah, over the far side, but at the top of the hill. It was completely untouched over there. I went tramping across acres of totally virgin snow on the golf course, even at midday. Awesome!

i can't compete w krakow, but glasgow green was beautiful and wintry today:

The sunset this afternoon was stupendous. I was cycling back from Coatbridge to the East End and had to pull over to watch it across the snow-covered fields and misty tenements in all its blazing red and orange glory. Wonderful.

I'm in Glasgow next week, hopefully. Looking forward to some wintry scenes!

Out the back of our house along the Black Cart last week .

Oh wow. Where is that ailsa?

Renfrew, just across the river from the airport, looking over towards Inchinnan.

Note to stalkers: it's not RIGHT outside my house.

*takes notes*

(that's not right as in not directly. Not not right as in left, necessarily. I just realised when I said it was out the back of my house, that you might think that my back garden looked like that. It doesn't).

great pic ailsa!

That's probably the nicest any part of Renfrewshire has ever looked, congratulations ailsa!

yup that is nice. got it in HD?

Thanks all :-)

I have stalked your flickr for a large version of that for my desktop :)

(and I know where you live!)

I'm looking forward to my annual thread post here tomorrow

on the 21st december, on the 21st december!
glasgow king tut's is the venue, glasgow king tut's is the venue!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

christmas gift-buying related question - does anyone know if the guitar shop by mono still sells those ~£15 ukuleles?

I believe they are £20 now, but other than that yes.

The shop is called 'Strung Out' and this is their website, so you could phone and check what they have in... http://www.strungoutguitars.com/
