Off to the land across the ocean...
In just a few short days I will be departing for a two-week fieldtrip in Scotland.  Anyone know of a good club to go to in Glasgow?

Well, there's this one in a back alley off of... wait, I'll find the street names, it's not in the commercial district... anyway, you'll know it when you see it because the graffiti's not on the walls, it's on the people, and there's this 300lb guy standing at the door with a baseball bat with a nail in it. His name's Pinkie, tell 'im I sent you.

The trick to surviving in Glasgow is to wear the shirt of a London football club

Suspects that DG is after Shrike's job. Well either that or is in need of a new kidney and suspects that he may have found a match :D

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Actually you've got a better chance surviving in Glasgow wearing a London-ish shirt than an Old Firm one..........

I,ve worn a Celtic shirt in Glasgow, to a Celtic match, granted, there was no actual walking about all of Glasgow involved, unless you count outside a block of flats as walking about all of glasgow.

CLubs: Okay, for a general kinda place I'd go to the Garage on Sauchihall street. Not too good, not too bad. (Same rule for the girls there)

The Shack, 193 Pitt Street - now, in my humble opinion its got the largest female to male ratio in Glasgow clubs and its a damned nice club inside. Nothing hardcore here, just good music and good women. Drinks can, and will be expensive depending on what you drink.

Cathouse, Union street - Never been, but if you're into alternative, nu-metal, punk etc then this place is for you. Always heard great things about it. Garunteed a good time if you're in with the music.

Cube - Don't know **** about this place but its mentioned a lot in conversations I've had about clubs. Seems kosher, and its even got  a separate Bar if the club gets too much for you.

Babazaa - Rn'B - in Royal Exchange Square, off Buchanan street. Like I said, Rn'B, nice smooth atmosphere (or so I'm told) and often promos going on.

Archaos WARNING!  danger Will Robinson - this thing is ****ing Ned heaven. Do not approach unless tooled up with a chib, body armour and an evac plan. To make matters worse, unders get in all too often and I've known guys to end up dancing with freaking jail bait.

Jumpin' Jacks - New, very. Only "club" I know that has karaoke (well, with more energy than normal). Very classy, and popular as far as I can tell.

I've probably missed out several but I'm tired. My personal recommendation is The Shack, HOWEVER: If you have a mate in Glasgow at uni (not Glasgow Uni itself tho 'cos they ain't NUS), get them to sign you in to "The Union" - its Strathclyde's union and its brilliant. (Yes, I conceed - better than Caley's :p )

Thats all folks.

EDIT: If aldo and you Shrike fancied it we could try and rival Sandwich, GE & Su-'s meeting up :D

I really doubt I'll have time to meet up with anyone.  This is a field trip, we only get a couple days in Glasgow and then we're off.

However, I will take note of that list and see if I can get to any.

As long as the music is good I don't get mad at clubs.  It's only when they play crap that I get annoyed.
