Haven't been to Glasgow for about 25 years.
It's probably unrecognizable now.


have you ever watched rab c nessbit? its a bit like that lol. horrible, every day there are stabbings and the drug problem is catastrophic. homelessness is rife as well, its like a city that's given up.
thats just my view though, i live and see what the tourist board dont want you to see :(

Yes, I watched Rab C Nesbit sometimes, funny when I could understand what they were saying.
Oh, dear.
i went to Cardiff a while back and it's been transformed into a beautiful city, in my opinion, hoped Glasgow might have had the same treatment.

Off topic but there is no greater feeling (to me as a chronic migraine sufferer) than feeling that oppressive pressure and pain and nausea of a migraine slowly lift away
I remember it well.
So true.
And don't worry about off topic in The Cold Dark Room, as long as we keep it nice and friendly anything's good.

that show 'still game' ... its set in Glasgow as well but its not as ruff on the accent, it actually presents the lighter side and community spirit:)

there is a Glasgow comedian called kevin bridges, he is hilarious! well worth checking out also

Migraines are a pain. Do they even know what causes them? MY doctors surely don't.
I think there's a lot of theories.
I know mine were often triggered by bright lights, particularly reflected light from the sea, windows or snow, but not always.
My mother used to get them too, but she was convinced it was stress and chocolate that caused hers.
So maybe a genetic link also ?
