Glasgow Tales is becoming more like a magazine since I've added crosswords. So how about a daily horoscope?

A fellow calling himself Khonsu will be 'casting' a horoscope (is that the right term?) and lucky numbers each day, from today.

"The number 9 to Auchenshuggle tramcar trundled its way slowly along Argyle Street. The beam from Its cyclops headlamp made the wet cobblestones glisten and shimmer in the twilight of the winter’s evening.

It's been a while since I've written a Fearless Francis story, so now it's time to add a new one.

It's set in Glasgow, in the 1950s as are all his stories, but there's humour and the Glasgow dialect is not too strong in written form.
