Ooh, thanks for reminding me, I recorded it when it was on the new BBC Scotland channel a couple of weeks ago and haven't got round to watching it yet.

what the fuck is going on at glasgow's radisson red
Honestly can't stop reading this mental job advert. It's an absolute dystopian masterpiece. pic.twitter.com/4Cyz4MUsiR— Toby Millard (@tobymillard) June 4, 2019

Last time I was in the sky bar they had one member of staff serving and two taking part in a Instagram photo shoot and an enormous queue of unserved drinkers.

My pal's dog is the mascot of the Radisson Red. He (the dog) is some kind of brand ambassador or something. It's mental.

That Radisson advert is fucking grim. I bet that the minimum wage staff get regular bollockings for not having enough fun like that bit in Office Space where the waitress gets in trouble for not having enough badges or something.

G-Force died a month ago? Have to say that after the imports and soundtracks were going down because internet, the shop was losing a lot of its appeal, but they stuck around a long time. Good spot in town obviously.

two anecdotes:
The lads at my school used to wear Trespass jackets but they used to pronounce it like it was a French word even though they are made in Glasgow - Tray-Paaa.
The menu at The Grosvenor cafe sold many strange items - for example "Oxo Beef drink" (my dad used to drink this) and whatever you ordered was served on a red hot plate even if it was ice cream. The menu was very strangely worded too and we used to laugh at the descriptions like "half pizza pie portion" - you could also get "have pizza pie portion with fried egg" but one that remains seared on my brain was Calzino and, this is not a word of a lie, the description next to it said "An Italian bridie".
― Funky Isolations (jed_), Saturday, 3 August 2019 19:09 (four years ago) link
the first time i went to the grosvenor was 1994 and i was absolutely dumbfounded by the idea that i could get a 'burger' for less than a pound. i ordered it. and then i understood.

I'm in Glasgow for the first time 5th to the 9th September with me Dad. We like whisky, Ivor Cutler and Alasdair Gray. I think he's hoping to see a bit of heritage stuff as his family's originally from Glasgow and go way back.
― frame casual (dog latin), Wednesday, 28 August 2019 07:53 (four years ago) link
DL, Hillhead Tube Station, in the West End of Glasgow, has a great mural-map of the area by Alasdair Gray, worth a look if you're passing by.
The Marzaroli photos always feel (to me) much older than they actually are - the sixties as the thirties.

Did a few Glasgow Doors Open Days things yesterday, most notably Anniesland Court, the 22-storey grade a listed tower block at Anniesland Cross, which was spectacular and really interesting in its design. The visit was meant to be to the communal areas on the top floor, but the guy in the first flat there had opened up his place for everyone to wander freely. He was a lovely chap and seemed to be enjoying chatting with everyone passing through and showing us all about. He'd stuck little hand-written notes about the place to invite you to explore ("storage cupboard here, please take a look" and that kind of thing) and the place was brilliant - a neat layout and stunning views, of course. Thoroughly recommend it if it's on the line-up next year.

that sounds excellent.

Sounds great. I feel like I've run out of things to see on Doors Open Days a wee bit – will try to remember about that next year.

Bump! Am up this way end of month for a very short time. Is there anywhere that does decent steak or burgers etc? Don’t judge me, I’m asking for family. Probably won’t get to see much this time around but is there anything else I should see and do this time around if I have a spare couple of hours?
― glindr jackson (gyac), Monday, 6 January 2020 11:35 (four years ago) link
Best steaks I've had in Glasgow are at Tiffneys on Otago St in the west end
― or something, Monday, 6 January 2020 11:37 (four years ago) link
bread meats bread do decent burgers in the west end and centre of town
― hot nuts (small) (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 6 January 2020 11:51 (four years ago) link
Tiffneys or the Spanish Butcher for steak. Not been there for ages, but Bread Meats Bread has excellent burgers
Ha, xpost mindmeld
― ailsa, Monday, 6 January 2020 11:52 (four years ago) link
the butchershop bar and grill is pretty good for steaks (or at least it was the last time i was there a few years ago) and has a nice view of kelvingrove and the university if you get a window table

Thanks all! If I don’t do any of these this time I will certainly next time cos I really haven’t spent enough time in Glasgow

Tiffneys always look shut when I go past it (admittedly that's mostly on a Saturday afternoon, on my way to Voltaire and Rousseau) and I'm getting this listing of their hours from a Google hit:
Address: 61 Otago St, Glasgow G12 8PQHours: Monday ClosedTuesday ClosedWednesday ClosedThursday ClosedFriday ClosedSaturday ClosedSunday Closed
If you have a couple of spare hours in the daytime, I would recommend this exhibition of Oscar Marzaroli's Glasgow photography - the gallery is situated near to both Mono and the 13th Note, both of which do pretty decent veggie burgers if you have some non-meat eaters in your party:

I saw those opening hours too so checked the website and they still appear to be open, only evenings tho and closed Tuesdays

I went into town to go to that Oscar Marzaroli exhibition on Friday but it was shut over the holiday period. We went to the People's Palace instead.
