A change is as good as a podcast
Well, that's the first series of our little For the Love of G...lasgow podcast over and done with, more's the pity.
We're taking a wee break for a bit while we work on our respective solo projects (ahem). I'll be concentrating on my new podcast for the site, Glasgow Generations, which I'll be doing with my good ol' Dad, Charlie Docherty, and you'll see from the link here that it promises to be a light-hearted look through the history of Glasgow since the 1940's, from my faither's own wizened eyes and ears.
You'll see that the podcast section of the site has changed a little to incorporate the new podcast, and I'll be recording the first episode tomorrow night, meaning that it should be ready for download at some point on Wednesday.
As for Alan, he'll be OK. I'll be checking in on him now and then to make sure he's preparing for the next series of For the Love of G...lasgow, and will let you know as and when it's back up and running.

Some superb Glasgow jokes
Thanks go to my brother Steven for sending me through some fantastic Glasgow jokes, and I've now hurried them into my Glesca Patter section on the site to give you another flavour of Glaswegian humour.
A wee example for you for starters -
While being interviewed for a job as a bus driver, a guy is asked: "What would you do if you had a rowdy passenger?" "I'd put him off at the next stop," he says. "Good. And what would you do if you couldn't get the fare?" "I'd take the first two weeks in August," he replies.
Now, if you don't get that, you're likely not from Scotland so don't worry (it's about the Glasgow Fair holiday, and he's saying that...ach, who cares...), but feel free to have a look at the rest - there's some real gems in there and if you've got any of your own, fire them over to me and I'll list them on the page.

Tony Roma's Glasgow - best ribs in town
With only one box left to tick in the restaurant section, comes my new review of Tony Roma's Glasgow restaurant, definitely the best place in town for ribs.
Have a read about why this place exists in direct contradiction with the extreme sports centre in which it resides, and how much over the years it's begun to stick happily to my fingers as a good slab of ribs should.
Once I finish off my little piece on the Sisters restaurant in Glasgow that'll be my eating out section done for now, leaving me free to focus on ploughing my way through the attractions bit.
A hard slog I know, but someone's got to do it...
