Some joker in the student residence where I'm staying burned something in one of the kitchens last night at 3am, setting off the fire alarm and causing a building evacuation and the fire brigade to attend. Even then it took a while to turn it off and stop it retriggering.
Saturday I went to the Hunterian gallery and the Hunterian museum, which is part of the university, and had a chance to actually walk around the campus. It is a cool place with yet more cool gargoyles (I think they're gargoyles - I need to take a look when it's raining) and generally impressive architecture. I still have to find out whether the interiors of towers etc. are accessible.
Newton's death mask actually looks a bit like one expects from other statues I've seen. I guess there are other copies of this around elsewhere?
They've got one of these long stripey men (Mighty Boosh reference):
Sunday was meant to involve some hill walking, but transport fell through, so I took the opportunity to hunt down some new boots. Sexy new GoreTex boots, ready for New Zealand.
After the boot search I also visited The Barras, which is I think meant to be Glasgow's version of a flea market - it was interesting, with lots of rubbish being sold. The Euro cup final was last night too, so now I don't feel any incentive to watch any more TV.

Gary, don't post photos where you've tucked your jeans into your socks. No excuses.
It's an illusion. Those socks are actually hosiery.
:( stoopid germans winning the semis in the last few minutes- our pub was going to go off with Turkiye fever
Sally, you should have gone to the same pub when Germany got beaten in the next game - there might have been Karma-fever or Schadenfreude-fever.
