Spotted on Kew Terrace today, this has to be the most Glaswegian sign I've seen in a long time. If you woke up after a night out recently in bed with a hangover and more gnomes than usual, please return them to their rightful home.

After what has been difficult week for many here, something a bit lighter from the streets of Glasgow from A Sign of Humour. Definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird file.

An old French no parking sign in a back lane in the Broomhill area of the city. Why? Because that's Glasgow for you.

Love this sign from the Glasgow-based street artist A Sign of Humour on Pacific Quay in Glasgow, with the Glasgow Tower and Science Centre in the background.

I came across this in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow yesterday. I don't know if it's modern art, a statement of intent, or just a warning to any would-be uninvited visitors. Either way, it's definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird file!

Maybe I'm just parsing it the wrong way, but could you get away with this restaurant name anywhere other Glasgow? And it's in the fashionable area of Finnieston, too!

Spotted today in the B&Q car park on Great Western Road in Glasgow.

Spotted yesterday in the Cathcart area of Glasgow while I was photographing some decorative cast iron lamps holders on an old bridge. Definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird folder!

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.

I love the Glaswegian habit of putting stuffed toys on window sills, but I wonder what this pigeon made of this particular example! 😀

Seen on a chalk board outside a pub yesterday: Therapy £100, Tennent's £4.30. Only in Glasgow!

A piece of post-Christmas found art at the entrance to the Arboretum of Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. I don't know what the poor little Labubu did to deserve ending up this way, but it must have been very bad!

A Partick Thistle supporting kangeroo in the bay window of a blonde sandstone Victorian tenement on Queen Margaret Drive. Welcome to Glasgow! 😀

Old warning signs by Bingham's Pond on Great Western Road in Glasgow. The one on the bottom left is a new one on me! 😀

It's not yet 10 o'clock in the morning on Christmas Eve, and it seems that some businesses, like this one on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, are already operating on a skeleton staff!

There are few things in life cuter than a pet waiting eagerly at a window for their owner to get home, like this one I saw today on Queen's Crescent in Glasgow!

None of it is remotely true, but it's an amusing tale nonetheless, and with the current cold snap, it feels quite plausible!

Given the current temperature in Glasgow, I figured it's worth posting this plaque I came across on Westbank Quadrant about the origins of Lord Kelvin's ground-breaking research into absolute zero while he was at Glasgow University.

I know Glaswegians keep some unusual pets, but I've never come across an aerial quadropus before! If you see Nipsy on your travels around the city, please let their owners know. 😀

This rather wonderful carving from the entrance of the former Strathbungo Parish Church in Glasgow is of ... erm ... well I'm really not too sure what it's of, but it's certainly interesting!

It looks like Clyde, Glasgow's 2014 Commonwealth Games mascot, is getting into the Hallowe'en spirit, or at least his statue in the Kelvin Hall is!

An abandoned pair of angel wings found stuffed behind a dumpster on a rainy Sunday morning. Welcome to life in Glasgow!

One of the many random, and rather strange, things you can come across on the streets of Glasgow, and yes the feathers coming out of the ears are part of it!

A small ceramic tile, approximately 2 inches square, affixed to a wall in the Hidden Lane in Glasgow, but for no apparent reason. Neither the name, the text, the web address or an image search returns anything obvious.

I came across this handsome fellow while visiting the Hidden Lane in Glasgow yesterday. It's a copy of a 2nd Century BC Roman statue know known as the Uffizi Boar. The flowers behind his left ear is pure Glasgow!

Love this sign outside the spaceship-shaped Hydro Arena on the Scottish Events Campus in Glasgow. It's by A Sign of Humour.

Praise be to God, Who created and proportioned, and measured and guided. May God’s prayers and peace be upon the Prophet of Mercy and Guidance, and upon his #family and companions and those who follow his example.
For today's Sunday afternoon dog walk, we went looking for Godzillas along the Clyde Walkway in Glasgow. Sundays are the only day they can come into the city, at least according to this sign from A Sign of Humour!

Love this chalk street art I found along a strip of pavement in the Broomhill area of Glasgow where tree roots have pushed up the surface making it very uneven. Definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird folder!

I've no idea why it's there, but I love it when I come across such things on my travels around the city.
