It's like the letters page of The Metro in here. The punter that write into that have not stopped arguing about the smoking ban since its inception.

>> I donâ€™t know how its going to work with the curfew in clubs though.

Apparently, the Garage nightclub let's you go out the "back door" for a fag. The put a daub of ultraviolet inky on your hand and double check it when you come back in.

At least, that's what I heard from someone that was there last night (Monday). I cannae imagine it being the same on a Friday / Saturday night.

Re: Euro 2008 Coverage Has Failed To Match The Tournament

I agree that the general standard of commentary has been poor but you'll never get a team of pundits that appeal to everyone.

Case in point: I don't mind Shearer so much, and I quite enjoy Andy Townsend, but I dislike Martin O'Neill (mainly because he doesn't so much interpret what he's seen as try to come up with something funny to add to it).

Favourite on the BBC has to be Jonathan Pearce and on ITV, Jim Beglin.

Most annoying point during the competition so far (and this may just be a Scottish thing) was Harry Redknapp giving us his insight which, essentially, boiled down to how England would be seen as contenders along side Germany and the Netherlands (this after the first round of games) had they qualified for the tournament. Worst piece of "insightful" punditry I've had the misfortune to listen to for quite some time.

I like buses. It's Glasgow buses and / or Glasgow people I don't like.

I'm not so sure I want to see another movie. The game looks amazing, though.

Re: UK Considering London to Glasgow High-Speed Rail Link

The problem (as I see it) is that current rail travel in the UK is prohibitively expensive. I can't see how an improved rail service will attract those that currently fly from Glasgow to London unless the trains become heavily subsidised.
