Glasgowsmilesbetter?

Despite the presence of our First Minister, Glasgow will host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. So congratulations on that. What chance of a profusion of HNCs in Commonwealth Games Marketing / Admin, etc. I just hope that the denizens of Dennistoun (et al.) get something out of this...
Talking of First Ministers, wasn't it Tom Nairn who wrote that Scotland would not be free until the last minister was strangled with the last copy of the Sunday Post? Whatever did he mean?
See Glasgow? See erudition!
