We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015

Give the people (me), what they want, a large mural in Glasgow City Cente of Coatbridge-born Margaret Skinnider - maths teacher in Lambhill, fighter in the Easter Rising, lesbian feminist icon.

Hello. We're new here. πŸ‘‹

Wondering what devil's porridge is? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle coined the phrase to describe the explosive materials he saw munitions workers at H.M. Factory Gretna mixing in large pans. They were making cordite.

Please don't eat devil's porridge. πŸ’₯
