Is anyone taking part in the Great Scottish Run this Sunday?

I was supposed to be, but I've got an injury which means I can't! My physio has only just let me start running again, and I'm nowhere near ready to run that kind of distance....

 

[Kilted Stranger]

gutted! If i had been better organised i might have done it....

we watched the start and then the runners coming in at the end on glasgow green, what a fantastic day for it too !

a friend was taking part and we dint see him at the start but we hollered like crazy when we saw him rounding the last 200 metres to the finish at 1 hour 50 minutes and 58 seconds i think

It was too hot, the runners were falling like flies at the end - I should know

 

[ScottishJohn]

I wasn't even running and I had to go for a nap!

Hmm, question. When did those warehouses down by the Tall Ship go on fire?

I was out of Glasgow for a fair bit of time in August, so I'm guessing I missed it. So far all I'm been able to gather is that someone got shot, there was a suspicion of money laundering/drug involvement and then the place went up in flames some time after that.

Anyone?

It happened at the beginning of the month, the same place where someone was shot a couple of months ago. Very suspicious if you ask me, which the Police never do!

Blaze destroyed antiques worth £250,000

Happened the weekend my inlaws were over visiting (don't think they had anything to do with it! Must have been about 27th August.

I hadn't heard about the shooting, although I HAD wondered about the developers. It had appeared as if the antiques warehouse and the salvage yard were planning to stay, but the rest of the warehouses were being demolished to make way for more flats. I had wondered if the developers set a wee fire? (Total speculation!) Anyway sounds like it was something else.

Sad - I thought it was great that we had a wee bit of the industrial history of the clyde that we could still see. I'm Amazed they didn't keep any of the row, or make any of them listed buildings, after all Buttermilk told me the high flats
at Anniesland are listed, and I liked the old warehouses better.

I wonder if they got all the antiques out first?

I'll check with my brother and see if they match the description of the suspects Special Branch are looking for

Yup. Wonder if they've found anyone wearing cement shoes at the bottom of the Clyde yet.

You mean you liked the novelty value of 'Lovejoy Antiques'? Poor ol' Tink.

Ah, I thought the shooting was more recent than that. Ta for the link.

The talk of burning buildings has reminded me about the Architecture Festival. Can find details at www.blockarc.co.uk if interested. Talks, tours and such like from 8-15 October.

Looks interesting! Someone recently suggested I chuck in my job and study for architecture! They even said - just think by the time you are 34 you could be an architect! (or in jail for non payment of bills!)

I love buildings and building design. I love the fact that the new ultra expensive flats down by the river in finnieston have plywood exterior walls and you can see the seams through the thin render on them!
