Phat Bhuna in Canal Street too.
They opened a sister restaurant in Cambuslang.
Tried it last week... Very tasty and great value.
I knew I'd forget one.
I've had the thali lunch in Phat Bhuna a few times. Its a bit "meh".
3 course lunch in Royal Taj for £9.99 on a matchday is excellent.

Think I'll catch the train.
even thou I have a bus pass.
Same. I'd rather pay £1.50 for a return from Hawkhead (15 mins to Glasgow) than the 38 bus for free which takes 3 times as long.

21 has been replaced by 23P.
Smithhills St to Hope St. Takes the Cockles Loan/Sandy Rd/Glasgow Rd Renfrew route to Braehead then Govan Road to Glasgow.

New Indian restaurant opening soon on Neilston Rd at the old Charleston Chippy.Seated area downstairs with the kitchen upstairs in what used to be two flats 🥘🍚
Indian Scene, Multan, one in Moss St (can never remember the name), Koh I Noor, Royal Taj, Ashoka and now this new one.
7 sit-ins is a decent number to choose from.
AFAIK Kwang Tung has reopened or is reopening as a sit-in.

He's edited that. It originally said "the East Renfrewhire town".

In these days we used to actually buy stiff at the cinema, unlike these days when it costs an arm and a leg for a bag of Pick N Mix.
,I know, last time at the cinema the woman at the Pick n Mix refused to accept a £50 note.
I had to use two twenties and a ten.

Apparently the other end of the loop was connected at St James, though.
http://railway.paisleyhistory.uk/You can see it in the St James Station pic I posted. Ran from there to Ferguslie station with sidings to Pressed Steel/Rootes.
From Ferguslie to Stanely then Glenburn. You can still see the platforms and footbridge of the station from Glenburn Rd.

I'd always read that it never got connected at the Arkleston junction.
Correct.

St James Station. Where the stadium now stands would be just out of shot on the left.
-
The shop at the corner of Seedhill Rd and Lacy St which, much later of course, would be owned by Frank McGarvey and then Tony Fitzpatrick.
Pic is from c1960, the bridge was removed later that decade.

What's the trophy, Tennents sixes?
Saints were beaten finalists but never won the Sixes.
I'm guessing it might have been a trophy put up by a local business for a pre-season friendly vs English opposition.
Or possibly the Isle of Man tournament trophy.

Greenhill Road showing the flats which occupy the ground the stadium is now built upon.
IIRC Santaponsa Saint lived in one of them. My old school near the top of the picture.

This thread is a perfect example of why I rarely visit this forum these days.
A discussion about an important local issue ruined by the usual multi-aliased attention seeking arseholes.

It is exceedingly rare for us to be live on TV for any away league games.
@Eric Arthur Blair probably has full details on our last away top flight league TV appearance that wasn’t a playoff game.
On Sky it was v Dunfermline in July 2011.
BT Sport probably the 3-2 win at Dundee (Cody Cooke HT).

With Ayunga set to get a 45 min run out today, I wondered if anyone had any game details.
The club showed his goal on X.
Looked like a bounce game involving the whole squad.
