I live in Glasgow and have never seen a chibbing or a glass fight ever.

In March 2001 I was in some bar in Motherwell (the name escapes me, but I'll remember) and I saw some guy get a broken glass jammed in his throat at the bar. He bled to death in 30 seconds, before anyone could even call an ambulance. Everyone standing next to him (me included) got squirted with large amounts of blood.

The police came and took witness statements from everyone, took our IDs and videoed us stating our names, dates of birth and addresses. The next day I was visited by an inspector and a sargeant from Motherwell CID who verified I was who I said I was, what I was doing that night (how drunk I was etc) and took another complete statement. The day after that I got a call telling me that they found the guy who did it, that I wouldn't have to give evidence in court, and thanked me for my help.

Ok, so this wasn't in Glasgow, but it's still in the local area. Chibbings and glassings do happen, you know :>

That is horrible K. I dearly hope I'm never witness to anything like that.

Ok, so the new slogan for Glasgow is "Scotland with Style" Hmmmm.

Obviously there was the "Glasgow's miles better" one before, but wasnt there a couple of others?

"There's a lot Glasgowing on" ? "Glasgow's alive"? Anyone any details or pics of these or other logos?

I remember getting a ruler from the tourist information that said Glasgows Pure Dead Brilliant or something along those lines if I find it I will take a photo. There were t-shirts etc too.

It should have read "Glasgows Pure Dead, Brilliant"

Saatchi and Saatchi’s key slogan for 1990 – ‘There’s a lot of Glasgowing
on’ – was re-interpreted by critics as ‘There’s a lot of con gowing on’

The central issues for the critics associated with Workers’ City revolved
around what/whose Glasgow was being represented in 1990 – and who
‘owned’ 1990. The idea that the ECOC was an exercise in ‘yuppifying’
Glasgow, marginalising the City’s past as a place of socialist agitation and
working class struggle, was a recurring theme of the Workers’ City critique.
The image of the ‘new’ sanitised Glasgow was sharply at odds with the
‘reality’ of life in many of Glasgow’s large council estates:
