Gonnae f off to Belgium I think. Good cycle infrastructure, good beer, good food, good people, well in Flanders anyway.

So, tick on the square Friday night box?

I reckon that if a few of us chipped in and bought Linwood, Johnstone and (at a push) Paisley we could create a wonderful kingdom. Or, we could just sell it on to Amazon..0

I mind a couple of years back some scammers tried to get me to 'invest' in off airport car parking for Glasgow airport. Not that I was ever going to be that mug, but I did a wee bit research and lo the site was some post industrial land in Linwood. Selling at approx £2m per acre. Aye right. I used to live in that general area (not of course in Paisley or environs, I am not that much of a numptie) so weel aquant wi' thae pairts.0

In all seriousness Linwood breaks my heart. Went to the high school from '77 to '82, great days now I look back. Went back for a look in about 2003/4 and it was just bloody tragic looking. I can't imagine things have improved since..0 -

Early 80s I was living in Largs working in Glasgow but spending a lot of time in the Edinburgh office. Largs, lovely. Glasgow, good. Embra, good. The sh1tty bits in between e.g. Linwood, not so much.Big Harv wrote:orraloon wrote:I mind a couple of years back some scammers tried to get me to 'invest' in off airport car parking for Glasgow airport.

Yer but, as I recall back then Linwood High School turned out some very good results (by however it was measured), academic and athletic. Certainly didn't do me any harm. 35+ successful years in London EC3.0

Linwood High School rings a (remote in the recesses of my memory) bell as being pretty good.
As Freddie would have it, "those were the days of our lives..."0 -

Stella, aka 'wife beater'.
My flatmate drank too much of that stuff. You see, us Northern lads aren't of the Laaaager type.

Evenin'. Twin grandchildren staying overnight, they been fed, watered, entertained and bedded. Bless 'em, they go off to bed no problem. Unlike my daughter back in the day, think she was school age before she would finally go to bed and sleep without a major battle, every bleepin' evening. Happy days. Oldies have eaten, now time for a sit, chill, another glass (or 2), and watch E3 Harelbeke on record.0

Actually (yes I'm calm now) I reduced my Sky subscription by about 50% but still have Eurosport. Look into that chaps.
My phone pretended to die earlier, seems fine now except it's running 12.2 update. Like I care....0 -
