This weekend I…
- went into Glasgow with Neil to have a drink at Solid Rock Cafe (decent music and Dawn of the Dead on the big screen) and The Wee Pub (of The Ubiquitous Chip fame), then a late night chippy for supper
- met Neil’s friend Dougie and his wife Nicola at Pizza Express for lunch (it was good, and extremely filling — let’s hear it for those Sicilian lemons)
- came back and watched Strictly Come Dancing (oh dear) and what was left of The X Factor (good Lord)
- had to sit through part of I’m a Celebrity…
- watched CSI and Law & Order (and ate an average Chinese takeaway)
- slept in, then had a fantabulous home made tomato soup for lunch
- went for a walk as it was, finally, a nice day (see evidence below)
- arrived back in time for Charmed (!!) and a lovely roast dinner (with ice cream for dessert, yum)
- then spent the rest of the evening chilling out
- and (finally) saw King Arthur: Director’s Cut

I believe I’ve been to the solid rock cafe. Does it have a balcony level? I’m trying to find pictures of the place but I can’t. The name rings a bell though.
Er… I don’t know. We stayed near the bar, and there was a little raised platform seating area at the front.
I have never been to the Solid Rock Cafe however my mate goes all the time and says its good - did you think it was good?
I guess I will have to go and find out for myself!
[puts on bad Scottish accent]… Aye, wasnae bad…
It reminds me of a bar I went to while I was at University in Australia, actually.
Raymond, is DirectGlasgow your business or a hobby? I’m just wondering…
That would be a hobby website, I wish I could write interesting things about Glasgow but… I am definitely not a writer!
It could be a great site… What you think?
No, Solid Rock doesn’t have a balcony level. You might be thinking of another rock bar/club in Glasgow called the Cathouse. It used to be quite, eh, open minded but then it moved and has become progressively more mainstream. It’s great people watching, but you can tell that the freak are dressing up because they crave the attention, rather than because they actually enjoy it. A shame really, it used to be a great night out…
heh, neil - have you been to Fury Murrys? Cheap night out and its good after your drunken!
Hi
If anyone is looking for photos on Glasgow there are over 10,000 including some taken in some clubs. There is also over 21,000 clubbing photographs at http://www.clubphotographs.com which include photos taken at Fury Murrys
Hope this is of interest to you all
