This is their way of telling us to go back to maths and science, I guess. It must be a Tory plot, we don't need art taught in schools anymore.

(By the way, I was very good at maths and science.)

Restoration on the iconic Mackintosh building was almost complete since the last fire just 4 years ago, which cost millions of pounds.

My grandfather would have been absolutely devastated as a chartered Scottish architect, as will be my mum who studied there.

The last fire was in 2014, not 2004.

Worth noting that the fire has also destroyed a couple of notable clubs, the ABC and Campus(which is a shithole). It’s the fourth or fifth fire in that area in the last ten or so years - something doesn’t seem right.

Yeah that was a typo, good spot. I saw some clubs were collapsing but haven't checked in on the final damage yet.

It's sad for me given the heritage but also because I want to visit one day. I only recently made a bit of Art Deco furniture, it's one of my favourite movements that anyone here will recognise from Bioshock.
