St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art.

Busy day today, was planning to take in all the hotels in town that are listed on the Autism Awareness map as well as check out the Autism bus and St Mungo museum but ended up chatting (and drinking coffee) in Geek-Aboo whilst discussing Autism friendly shopping (you can thank me later) and then gabbing away to a nice lady from Autism Network Scotland which meant I only got to go to St Mungo in the end. And how was it? Well read on but first a quick info dump. Named after Glasgow's patron saint (which surprisingly isn't Rab C Nesbit), the museum is built on the site of the medieval Bishops’ Castle with galleries of objects and art exploring the importance of religion in peoples’ lives across the world and throughout history. But did it pass the patented Ash Autism test? In the summertime when the weather is hot You can stretch right up and touch the sky....Whoops, wrong Mungo. Sorry. As with most museums there isn't really much you can do to ...

Got a two in one special today (tho' in reality the visits were a few days apart - yup it's already gone all timey wimey) but there's a really good (and fairly interesting) reason for that. A very blue-hued Riverside Museum, not to be confused with Riverside - the TV series broadcast on BBC2 that featured musicians, bands, actors, fashion designers, artists and comedians including Alice Cooper, Steve Strange, Clare Grogan, Paul Weller, Martin Fry, The Cure, The Smiths, New Order and Pauline Black. Phew, glad that's sorted. First up the relocated and custom built Riverside Museum , once known as the Transport Museum and housed at Kelvinhall the Riverside has been open for 7 years now and has over 3,000 objects on display there's everything from skateboards to steam trains, paintings to prams and cars to a Star Wars Stormtrooper. Unfortunately Balamory babe Edie McCredie's bus is no longer on display. A travesty I'm sure you'll agree. ...

World Autism Acceptance Week: Trim that Fringe.

    I reckon that World Autism Acceptance Week is as good an excuse as any to reshare the transcript of my Spectrum Sinema performance from The Edinburgh Fringe last year - the actual gig was edited for timing reasons/my rambling ways so it was fairly short 'n' snappy which was unusual for me but it seemed to go down OK. I mean there were no walk-outs but I did make a man visibly uncomfortable with the sheer Autistic intensity of my love for the films of 1982. This has been a dream of mine for years if I'm honest. Which I always am obviously seeing as Autistics are incapable of lying. Probably. Anyway, rather than share the short 'live' presentation I've decided instead to post the current work in progress long version of it. You see I'm planning writing (or maybe even performing) the whole thing - and more - at some point so see this as a taster. Regular readers may recognize some bits from previous posts but you've got to start somewhere and if...
