Love what's been done to this barrel outside the Transylvania Shop on Victoria Road in Glasgow. It's just a great bit of decoration that makes an interesting addition to the typical 'barrel as furniture' genre.

It's great that #GlasgowCouncil banned firework displays in #Govanhill.
So I wonder if the wankers that have been letting off the window-shaking ones for the last three hours just moved an extra 100 yards outside the exclusion area.
