To mark the fact that today is apparently Superb Owl Sunday in the US, here's a collection of superb owls from Glasgow's architecture. Oh hang on, I might have mis-heard what day it is! 😀

50 years ago today. 50!
A great sound check track for Brighton Pride this weekend.
Extremely wise words and applicable widely!
Wishing someone in Number 10 put this above their desks
Thirty years old today. Terrific album and another anniversary which seems to have happened too quickly.
Glasgow's one and only Statue of Liberty on the top of a tenement on corner of Queen's Drive and Langside Road. It dates from 1886, the same year her more famous sister was dedicated in New York.

After all these Bulk Purchase recommended jobs, at last one I could quite fancy.
The gothic tower of Glasgow University in the late evening sun. While most of this building was designed by George Gilbert Scott and was built in the 1860s, the tower and spire were only completed by his son, John Oldrid Scott, in the 1890s.

Hopeless interviewing by Amol Rajan of Chris Philip on Today just now. Neither Philp not Rajan seem to know that much of the "working age benefit bill" goes to *people who work*.
What is happening to the Danish Postal service?
Has anyone completed the Guardian cryptic crossword, Saturday 22 February?
Love this beautifully crafted enamel and metal thistle on the door of an former bank on Dumbarton Road in Partick. It's this kind of little detail which really brings joy to my life whenever I spot one.

Fascinating figures today from the Pensions Regulator. The 4000 smallest DB schemes out of a total of 4818 schemes have assets of £127 bn out of the £1..24 tr total for all schemes. Even the “smallest” 4750 schemes have only just over half the overall total. (Figs estimated as at 30 Sept 2024)
DB is a pension. DC isn’t.
What does the OECD average mean?
On the importance of skilled migration. Would you say our universities have served the national interest well over recent decades? And education more generally?
Good morning, Glasgow. What a way to start the day!

Such public baths and steamies (as the wash houses were known) were once common in Glasgow, especially in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras when few tenements had their own bathrooms or washing facilities.

Can you explain why the score for say cycle 1 ages 45-54 falls by cycle 2 ages 55-65? (Presumably nothing to do with including age 65 in cycle2.)

Quite an opportunity to buy low yielding gilts.
Sunrise at the Squinty Bridge over the Clyde in Glasgow. The tower in the distance is the former headquarters of the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society on Morrison Street.

Royal Exchange Square in Central Glasgow was looking particularly spectacular as the sun was going down this evening. And as always, at the centre of it all was the Duke wearing his customary headgear.

The western facade of the former Templeton Carpet Factory on Glasgow Green. Designed by William Leiper and bassd on the Doge's Palace in Venice, it was built in 1889.

This officially turned Glasgow into what is now considered a city. This was soon followed by the right to hold an annual fair, which was held in the grounds of Glasgow Catheral for the first time in 1190. This annual fair fortnight is still marked in the city to this day.

Why should the government underwrite higher state pensions for, on average, longer-lived people?
A street scar on a cobbled street in the West End of Glasgow. Street scars are patches of asphalt used to repair a road that are not the same colour, material and/or quality as the surrounding road surface.
