He was adored...
Back in 2002, Primal Scream, with Mani on bass duties, played a Carling Homecoming gig at the Glasgow Garage, for 500 fans.
Did I mention there was a free bar - all the Carling lager you could drink, or throw.
Suffice to say, it got a bit messy...

If that was the Carling Homecoming gig, I was there too - never seen so much free beer flung about.

Saddened to hear of the death of bassist, Gary 'Mani' Mounfield.
Brown was never the greatest singer, but when Mani and Reni locked into that hypnotic groove, and Squire sprinkled his gold dust on top, the world, and all that was in it, belonged to us.

A nice day yesterday, speaking to members of the Royal Society of the Arts, in the Studio Theatre of the revamped Citz.
Nice, too, to finally meet architect, historian, and author Neil Baxter, who was punting his new book on the history of our High Street; I bought two copies.
They flatpacked them, and sent them all over,

Been bursting to tell you this, it's #WorldToiletDay, so I was relieved to find this image of a public urinal in Craignestock Street, Calton, c 1900. The cast iron urinal was made at the Saracen Foundry in Possilpark by Walter Macfarlane & Co.

Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde - Dirk Bogarde, centre back - attended Allan Glen's School between 1934 and 1937, while staying with an aunt and uncle in Bishopbriggs, and, by his own account, far from his pals and parents, had a pretty miserable time of it.

'Things happen'
Like you get murdered, on tape, by the order of that guy, then cut up with saws, so yer body bits can get flown oot the country, and even when we catch you, we let you go, because you have more money.
And baw-jaws Donald is sucking it up...
