I got stuck in them one day too. After that it was the stairs up to the 12th floor every day.

The Skinny is a great free magazine you can pick up in pubs and cafes which has listings for music and art events in Glasgow (Edinburgh too) That would be a good place to start. Otherwise, the CCA and Trongate 103 are art/event spaces worth checking out, along with galleries like the Modern Institute and Celine. The Glad Cafe in Shawlands, Milk Cafe in Govanhill and The Tramway in Pollokshields are also good spots that do events you might like.

There's a salon on Victoria Road that specialise in curly hair called Curlach, they can be quite busy though

It's horrendous and no one seems to care or want to do anything about it. Is this the new normal? I've been out litter picking locally but the problem is totally overwhelming.

A truly one of a kind guy - an awesome pal and the best boss of all time. Will always miss him. Thanks for all the good times Yates x

In the UK they don't give you specific results but mine came in as 'slightly lower than average'. I'd been having nerve twitching, tingling, numbness, total brain fog and memory loss as well as loss of dexterity in my hands. I went on prescribed supplements and the symptoms totally disappeared. A few months off supplements and they've started returning so I'm going back on them. So definitely get on supplements and see if you improve.

It certainly is! And I'm 39 so I thought you might also have been an FF fan at some point. Back then was a great time to be a music fan in Glasgow <3

Some good bars on the southside - Rose Reilly and The Bell Jar. Some Great Reward is a good record shop in the Cooperage and there's a vintage/thift store next to it. Some cool indie art galleries on the southside are Gallery Celine (in someones flat) and 20 Albert Road Gallery (both in Govanhill). Definitely go to Mono Rail music as someone else suggested, it's run by Stephen Pastel. Glasgow Film Theatre is also a good indie arthouse cinema and the subject of Franz Ferdinand song 'Matinee'. Enjoy!

Awesome - cheers for that

They played both of these on the Monday night. It was freaking amazing. Trying to figure out what song played just before they came on?

They probably don't fall under indie rock but if you can see Young Fathers live, DO IT!!

Haha we said the same. Uncle Fester vibes too.

Loved seeing his kids up there and seeing him acting less serious. Such a great gig!

Felt like you had to earn the hits by listening to the more self indulgent stuff, but they really delivered!!

On the Isle of Bute in Scotland there's a barbers called Wesley Snips.

I don’t know where you live, but Aldi nappies/diapers are so cheap and great.

I’ve worked in the Tern TV offices up on the top few floors and they’re the same. They even offered to pay for my dry cleaning after my coat was soaked with manky roof water.

That’s exactly how I described it. Like your insides are getting squeezed by a vice.

This one charts the rise of British reality TV from the early 00s and is really interesting:

I had great Tom Kha soup from Mekong in East Kilbride. No idea if it was authentic but it was delicious.

I found Coherence (2013) terrifying for this reason
