dm383,

Sorry, can’t say as I agree with you.

I think that the site is a real attempt to show another, rather intimate, vision of Glasgow, illustrated by a resident. A glimpse of domestic, "under the stairs" Glasgow, which won’t be shown by the tourist board.

The winos with their Buckfast, the leather shops at Trongate, the harsh East Germanesque style of the Underground, suggest a rather bleak vision that a local might have of his surroundings. Again, not what the politicians would like on display. Somewhat subversive and anti-establishment.

Funny? No not really. Earthy, critical, in your face? Yes, that’s how this site appears to me. Not a dystopia perhaps, but it brought few chuckles to me.

But it is marred. Look at the ill-fitting frames around the pics off the Sights page. Follow the News link on the first page and you’ll see more mal-formed text. Additionally, it is questionable design technique to italicize small point text. As the next web site is only a mouse-click away, it is injudicious to jar your visitors’ eyes.

Still, unto each his own. If you find the site funny, then, by golly, it is funny.
