Think I was in that building once. You are right, it was dreadful. I was studying in the '80s, thanks for the compliment though!

No, Law, Stenhouse Building was the alma mater but our classes in Politics and some subjects were in the McCance because they required larger lecture halls. Simply because of those students studying other subjects who took law as part of their discipline. Sadly never had John Curtice mind, don't even recall the guy who taught us Politics.

Report here of the death of William George Mitchell, sculptor and designer who created friezes and artwork on public buildings across the UK: Some of his work appears on the McCance Building, University of Strathclyde, many a happy hour spent studying there.

Sounds like James Blunt and Beautiful to me, but I don't want to go again so soon!

Well, we are here, the day we take our whole selves out, do the hokey cokey and we turn around. Typical, we leave the EU and the world catches a cold! On a side note, Michael Gove seems to have lost his glasses. Tbf, with or without, he still looks and sounds like a cunt.
