Glasgow band Glasvegas at T in the Park 2008
Many were surprised that the 'T in the Park' organisers had put Glasvegas on in the Futures stage at TITP this year as they are getting so well known and have a great following, it was well crammed in that wee tent.
Outside the futures tent me and my partner gave up even trying to get in as the crowds were far to busy for the futures tent, they were trying to do one in one out but eventually some folk just went mental and started throwing there way in... flying under the gaps in the tent at the bottom, jumping the fences and running by the few security guys that were there to be seen...
It sounded like an amazing gig though, Glasvegas took the place on and made many people's days, I think... they played their part in a great T in the Park.
Well done Glasvegas!

Glasgow House Auction - Central Hotel Glasgow
Property Auction - Countrywide Estate Agents - Glasgow Auction
A few weeks back me and my partner decided to go to our first ever property auction to find out more, get the experience and learn more about property markets.
The auction was held at the Quality Central Hotel in Glasgow Central Station.
It was great to see the change in the property market over the past few months, we are in a downturn, a buyers market... but for some time many people have been in denial, much of the organisations such as banks and estate agents don't want to admit that there is a housing slow down... so they go on trying to get more and more people to buy, even though the market is on its way down.
The property markets that were on sale at the auction in the quality central hotel, Glasgow were clearly struggling, the number of properties that sold that day by auction was clearly less than the estate agents and auctioneers wanted and had hoped for.
The opportunity is there for people to invest for the longer term by buying property from motivated individuals who need to sell quickly, Glasgow and surrounding is not that different from the rest of the UK at the moment in relation to the property market slow down and downturn.

Merchant Square - Bar Square
Bar Square - Merchants Square - Merchant City - Glasgow
We went into Bar Square in the Merchant Square a few months back (with a hangover I might add) for a meal and a shandy (or two).
The meal was fantastic and the staff were very helpful and friendly as well, on this occasion Bar Square was really worth the money for our hangover curing grub and pint.
I have only eaten in Bar Square once but I will go back one day and I would recommend it too.
Contact Information for Bar Square:
Address:
5 Bell Street,
Merchant Square

Telephone: 0141 552 3232
Hope you have a nice meal (or pint)...

Merchant Square Fire Alarm - Thursday 20th March 2008
Yestarday (just before ordering another round of drinks) the fire alarm went off... Ahh!
It is funny when you are in a building and the fire alarm goes off and for some strange reason not one person moves an inch... what a weird thing to do!
We were in O'neils at the merchant square in Glasgow yestarday and the fire alarm went off and all we were worried about was if we would be able to get another round of drinks in...
Me and a mate from uni got a bit of food in O'Neils in the merchant city and it was not that great... I realise that it is just the old bog standard pub grub, but my mates dinner looked like something the cat had spewed up... nay offence tay the staff but it was truly minging...
I on the other hand had a meal that was OK(ish) but I would not write home about it... It was enough to soak up the first few pints... then some more.
When the alarm went off we headed accross the road to The Blackfriars pub... one of the doods got the real ales (and two out of three of them tasted pretty good), after that we headed to some pub up one of the lanes in glasgow, we also ended up in the Social and the other O'Neils at george Square... but the memories of that are not as clear.
The taxi diver from the rank (just outside Glasgow Central Train Station) refused to move without me giving him £40 of my money... it is an absolute joke, I know that some guy must have bumped him in the past, but there is no reason at all for them treating everyone like a criminal... It really pulled my chain... whit are they all about and why do they think thay can talk to people like something they have just scrapped off of the sole of there smwlly wee trainers?
I had jumped in a taxi earlier on in the night and the guy was brand new, so it is a shame that some drivers are numpties and it reflects on the whole company... I am not sure if asking people for payment is even allowed by taxi driver... I know that the line will be 'well they are just making sure that you pay them' but I truly could not give a monkies if they guy has been didled (is that a real word?) before... I wonder if they make everyone from anywhere outside Glasgow pay up front.... belter.
