The boy who stopped the Upskirting vote surely has a reason (to obvious for him to be a perv or have very shiny shoes). Nobody would object to that vote without a really good reason.

It’s because he’s a massive w@nk. He also blocked one about police dogs getting stabbed.

Also voted against same *** marriage, loves performing animals in circuses, claimed £881 expenses to get his sofa fixed, wants to abolish the minimum wage & calls House of Commons staff ‘servants’

You know, typical Tory stuff.

I think the talk around SUP (single use plastics) has been hyped up and some of the photos have been photoshopped.

Why would you think that?

As Mason points out, his previous voting doesn't exactly endear himself, however, there are existing laws up here so I'd imagine there are down there as well. Just not specific.

That was Ping’s hoose, min.

They’re speaking aboot the ither Mcdonalds.

.

I did visit Ping when he lived in London but he'd married Suzy by that time and she made him use the toilet when he wanted a s'hite.




We went to see Spurs and just paid at the gate.

Changed days.

Glasgow School of Art ruined by fire again. I know the guy that installed the sprinkler system the last time.

You wouldn’t want that on your CV

Looks like the fire spread to the ABC’s roof and it has caved in. Shame as it’s a decent venue.

Looks like the giant glitter ball has pulled the roof in

It's a great venue and can be rebuilt easily enough. I don't have a gig there until November.

The Art School will have to be rebuilt from scratch, doesn't look like anything original survived this time but not the end of the world. Plenty of other famous buildings have had to be rebuilt. Apparently the last time the issue was with the original design having huge air ducts that just fed the fire.

I always thought the Art School was a fairly ugly building & shyte night out.

Bit extreme then. With one hand you clean up the Clyde, the other you burn down a cultural and historical icon.

I like it more than the Barras which seems to be everyones favourite

Only one gig lined up there and its in November. Get it built, get it built, get it built

Edit- I just looked, they have only cancelled tonights gigs and tommorows then back on on Monday


The super builders are in already

Could we be a step closer to the government relaxing the rules regarding licenses for marijuana for medical use?

Perhaps a way off yet knowing the red-rape that has to be waded through to get anything done in this country but the case of the epileptic boy who has been given his weed back is a step in the right direction.

It's common sense really, if using cannabis oil helps people who are ill then there is absolutely no reason to deny them access to it.

RE the Glasgow fire, I see the fire service used water directly from the Clyde.

1. They have Mason to thank that their filters weren't clogged up with dead snakes and stuff.

and 2. must have been a fair length of hose, that's about a mile according to google maps.
