Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

It was just a question. I'd no idea what the answer was.

Lawyers are a bit like acountants in that way. They're a "Major Multi-national company, with branches in 143 countries" until you come to sue them, in which case they're just a local company with two employees.

In the Summer of 2014, you'll barely be able to move in Glasgow Green. Cycling would be a no-no too. Going to be a lost Summer.

Been opened for about a month now, but just thought I'd tell you that the cycle walkway past the Commonwealth Games site, next to the Clyde, is opened for business.

This is in no way getting at the young lady from Cumbernauld who drew the said figure, for a child to come up with this design shows some imagination but I think he looks more like a mutant sprout that says nothing about Glasgow as a city ..... except maybe the letter 'G' on the shirt. He will make a great SNP mascot in 2014 for Independence .... Scottish Thistle and Scottish Soltire .... Alex Salmond loves him no doubt. £400m on the games, £15m on George Square, £0 on getting a professional designer to come up with a mascot that represents The City Glasgow.

The only important thing that will happen in Scotland in 2014 is the 700'th anniversary of the Battle of Bannock Burn.

And at minimal cost to council tax payers.

Will Alec no be there to organise a Homecoming?

"THE man in charge of the next Year of Homecoming has quit just ten months after being unveiled in the post.

Tom Chambers, who had been lured from the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo to the flagship initiative, is leaving in January to work on the Glasgow Commonwealth Games."
