try glasgow more

actually, i remember my mum telling me (apologies in advance) that i was "like a wee d****e"

they were different times.

the current regime of buskers needs to change. Its ruining the Buchanan area.

buchanan street is murder for buskers but it's always been and it can be mainly avoided.

where always is since the early 90s

need not apply

omg

Amazing.

Just boarded a bus at Buchanan bus station and overheard a 20 year old and a 40 year old connecting over Belle and Sebastian in a lovely honest chat.

Glasgow is funny in that despite never living here I still miss it - the two gigs a month make me feel like I know it better than some places I’ve lived for years.

I'm doing my annual pilgrimage home next month, cannae wait

Is that a Harry Potter shop on big bus street?

I don’t know. Union street?

Yes, I barely know the names of any streets.

Should be renamed to big bus street.

it's such a tip.

shiter, a week too early for me! thanks for letting me know

damn.

that's what you get for trying to avoid the balmy weather, i suppose.

How long are you going to be around for Jim?

not long, ten days, usual paucity of annual leave problem

Let's fail to organise a FAP! It's what we do best.

well, I haven't seen you and Gerry for a while...

I don't think I've seen Gerry since I last saw you both at the Art School!

Let's try to meet up for a pint.

The Harry Potter shop on Big Bus Street replaced the "Stuff" shop.

It's called something like "The Boy Wizard Store" so it mat be selling unofficial Potter tat.

*may*

A failed organisation of drinks was where my mind was going too. Would you be up for it Jim and have time, if it happened while you're around?

so it may be selling unofficial Potter tat.

Surely that's a lawsuit waiting to happen?

It is an unofficial Potter emporium selling officially licensed Potter product (and a smattering of non-Potter tat).

just what our fair city needed

like there’s not enough twats playing quidditch in the grounds of glasgow uni already

Cant believe one book/film series can support a whole shop. We'll see how long it lasts.

It's supporting (at least) two in Edinburgh!

my house is currently up for sale, and i had a classic 'glasgow is a v small place' interaction last night when duglas and chloe from bmx bandits turned up to view it

(any ilxors wanna buy a charming 3-bed southside house btw, let me know)

shawlands?

pfft like i could afford a three-bed house in shawlands! drumoyne, just round the corner from ibrox

I think I found it, looks like a really cool house. Do you know when it dates from?

telecaster in the front room, hardwood floor? if so that's ours, yeah. dates from about 1890 or so - i think it was an old shipbuilder's house

gonna miss it tbh, it's been a great home but we just need more space now we have a baby

Yep, that's the one I was thinking. Looks lovely, really interesting. I guess it'll be a popular sell as it's quite unusual? How's the search for a new place going?

we've been really surprised by how much interest we've had - it went on the market on thursday last week and we ended up with 17 viewing requests by saturday. we're probably going to be going to a closing date on friday this week *gulp*

we've got our eye on a place in cambuslang whose current owners turned down our first offer because we hadn't sold ours. off to see it again on saturday, hopefully with a sold house as a negotiating too

negotiating tool that is

Ooh, nice house. Always love those when I drive past them. Would like (would also be exceptionally handy for work). Not really in a position to sell and move though, just idly dreaming.

Three beds and you need more space? God I miss Glasgow sometimes

come back and buy our house imo

cheers ailsa!

Clubs can now stay open until 4am! It's about goddamn time

I've only been clubbing about five times this year but still, it's the principle of the thing

we need to have a chat!

The Manchester clubs open to 6am on occasion has been a revelation since I moved down here. Only a good thing.

you don't realise how huge an impact it makes, finding yourself looking for a place to go at finishing time to carry on drinking and dancing only ends in disaster. I'd be more inclined to head home at 5/6am after clubbing all night, whereas if I'm out at 3am I'm easily tempted to head off to an afters and stay up til the next lunchtime

I love that this thread is always resurrected.
