I know that a lot of weegies moved up norf due to the oil ,and portlethen was/is classed as Little Glasgow but as as far as I know we still stand free but maybe the folk from the Broch would disagree but then again walking into a Broch bar is like walking into a star wars bar....

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0n0dnrezko word from allerdice street is that they saw the fireballs once and fancied some of it,patrons of troopers are monitoring the situation

for all the above obvious faults I have to admire the fact that when he opens a pub in an old building he doesn't rip the soul out of it,examples being, the counting house and crystal palace,in glasgow, the ticket place in edinburgh and another bank in george street in edinburgh and the cinema one is amazing aberdeen has again an old bank in archibald simpsons,the justice mill is what it is ,an old shop

Re the above, my retirement job as a handyman for the hotel/serviced apartments industry has really opened my eyes to the practices of booking.com,expedia etc etc. you may think you are getting a cheaper deal through the sites and possibly very minimally you are but trust me you are at the bottom of the food chain when overbooking /room sizes etc comes into it.when you stand in front of a receptionist of a hotel you think you are booked into and they have no details of you but you booked through a 3rd party site you are wasting your breath,your booking contract is with whoever you booked with,expedia,trivago....and you need to speak to them. First break I booked since I realised this was april last year in Belgium,I booked directly with my hotel,we turned up 4hrs earlier than the normal check in time but hoped we could drop our bags and come back later.Receptionist said everything was fine and in her own words because we had booked direct with the hotel we had been upgraded and our room was ready. So, if you can afford it always,always,always book directly with the hotel/accommodation,trust me..especially the older demographic of our support who cant be arsed with hostels anymore...

for me neither,dugs,anywhere any time,spent years cleaning the sh*t off of my kids shoes from playparks,and defending them from " oh they are just being friendly" dugs off their leads. the default for people out and about with their dugs should be 100% the next person they meet does not like dugs,keep it on a lead ,a short not one of those 10 metre things that everyone trips over,if the other person likes dugs they will clap them,if not everyone passes each other and carrys on. school-playing field on my road with huge signs saying no exercising of dogs and one saying no golf practice allowed ,I have to say the golfers are adhering to the notices but the dogs are still shi**ing on the kids playing fields every single day bit of a rant,no doubt the responsible dog owners will be back at me but I know responsible people who let off fireworks

cormack stayed in morrison drive,2nd block of flats to the right of the seven hillies as you look up to Ivanhoe road or the first block...cant remember...so long ago

for those following this thread.... advance party has arrived and fully ensconced in the penthouse in the merchant city, No 1 son along with his wife and the 2 grandchildren have arrived and completely upset the calm equilibrium that I had established using the power of brewdog. No 2 son arrived unexpectedly with the kilts which resulted in a very wet dash to wilson street, (its absolutely pi**ing down here),No 3 arrived via the choo choo from gods country at queen street so myself and No 1 made up the welcoming party and had a small drink in the counting house before returning to the penthouse.No 4 arrives tomorrow and some sort of dress rehearsal at the wedding venue is also on the cards which doesn't actually involve me apart from being the designated driver. anyway...more to follow

I might have mentioned this previously but I found autumn/winter the worst time, its cold, dark for a long time of the day and you cant get outside because of the weather to do stuff.I travelled for a while the first few months but soon realised that was eating into the lump sum.As for the motivation thing I realised that the longer you do nothing you tend to fall into the cant be arsed doing anything,I went from cycling 12 miles a day for 4 days (back and fore to work) doing laps of my streets on the other nights and played 5's/7's after coming off of my last nightshift to doing nothing much harder than walking and even then that was to the shops/pub/mithers. I have found a nice wee part time job as a handyman at a complex near me 20 hrs a week, walk it in 8 mins and can please myself how the 20 hrs are made up and it still leaves me time to look out the front window in the morning hands clasped behind my back watching the traffic go by...so you definitely need something to occupy yourself. I'm now also the unofficial handyman for all the old dears in the street and the unofficial pavement gritter in winter

she wasn't but I was...coachhouse on friday for me after delivering the limoncello and putting the radiators back on the wall and a few other jobs the loon is incapable of

absolutely..

same here lost all enthusiasm/impetus to travel even for home games,although I was watering my sons garden in the BoW and periodically checked the lap top for updates

not quite defeat, but snatch a victory, Lichtenstein I think

very simple very simple recipe,usual recipes say to use 100% grain alcohol this is too strong for the scottish palette our 70% is more than adequate ,my wife will not use anything other than smirnoff but for the first boys wedding because of the quantity needed we had to go to costco for the big boy bottles which using meant costcos own brand which was more than adequate for the occasion, we had 20 litres of limoncello in 2 jars with taps ,people were issued with glasses of prosecco on the way in to top up with a shot of limoncello as a starter as per the brides request,anyway it might have been hit as people were wondering round pre meal with champage glasses full of the said limoncello... recipe is 1 litre vodka -5 unwaxed lemons -macerate for minimum 1 week ,longer the better dilute with sugar syrup ,750ml water-750g sugar. its not an exact recipe, do it to taste, start with half syrup and work your way up, it wont look as yellow as the commercial stuff cos there are no colours in it

for those following this... 27 days to go flowers are sorted,someone from Johnstone is going to drop them of at the venue, make up people have been binned. wife is not long in the door from 2 days in edinburgh for the hen doo and "tired" the groom is coming back up the road for a "home "stagger involving his 3 brothers and me in my backie 2 bags of organic lemons macerating nicely in the vodka for the limoncello other than that I think we are good to go...

wife and I went to Antwerp last may,she is also not a beer drinker,anyway we got into antwerp about 10am got our room early and headed out for lunch she too liked the fruity beers,I put her to bed around 3 (in the afternoon) and headed out again...for some reason I could not find a beer a liked and quite often ended up with a stella until we took a day trip to Brussels,there's a Brewdog right beside the train station...

This is spooky now unless I've mentioned it in other threads...malbec is my usual choice of tipple apart from sundays when I switch to pinot grigio as its "less" alcoholic than the malbec and mondays are one of the 2 days I work so I feel better for it...

I have no say in who is invited to the post wedding thingy all I have to do is turn up with his 3 brothers in one piece and supply the homemade limoncello

I've also just realised that the loon that is getting married in july (see hairdressers thread) stayed in stockwell street just opposite the scotia for a year,the problem I have when doon there is my wife is with me and if she doesn't like the look of a place ,thats it,took me ages to get her in the clutha (not a euphemisim).we were down for a concert at the o2 and I took her to the lauriston...nae happy

yet,for someone who's former occupation depended on their topography expertise I could not find it....

never been in the scotia myself but from the outside I have always presumed its like the horseshoe,decor, clientele etc and yes thats the piper Ive been in the smiddy too,when I got lost looking for the underground station I decided to re-group in there...

I may have mentioned in a previous thread this one but whenever I'm down from oop north I always head for the piper on the corner of george square,on certain nights the soul room is open upstairs as well,other than that you would be daft not to visit the horseshoe bar and my friends and I had a "tradition" after scotland games we would drop the kids off at the hotel and head to the waterloo bar,you'll get a warm welcome in there
