New news and some news about news

Firstly, following requests, we have added an RSS fee to the site - you can sign up to it at the bottom right of the page. We've never used these before so let us know if it works.

Secondly, the new issue of the local newspaper G41 is out now, priced 50p and available throughout the G41 postcode. They also run a great site which covers lots of things going on in the G41 area. http://www.g41.org.uk/

In their issue this month - they discuss the plans to put up lights and a Christmas tree around Shawlands this coming winter for us to all stare at and be merry. Not sure where it will go - the little triangle opposite the Shed would seem the most likely place - but then surely that is like setting a challenge to drunk students on their way home to see who can reach the top.

Thirdly, the BP station on Pollokshaws Road opposite Queens Park has closed for six weeks while it goes through a transformation to become a Marks and Spencers - bringing tasty grub and a new cafe to the Southside - good news as well its going to be open 24 hours a day so we can get expensive, tasty grub on our way home from the pub.
