If this Silverburn extension goes ahead and 1000 new jobs come to Pollok how many of them will be full time?

How many will pay the living wage?

It would be good to get a break down of exactly what "1000 new jobs" means in real terms for people - and how many will go to the locals who really need them.

It is, of course, good to hear that new jobs for the city might be on their way but only if they are going to make a real difference to people who live in our community.

With regard to your story about 1000 new jobs for Glasgow at Silverburn, it's a three-way battle between Braehead, Silverburn and The Fort for who can suck the most life out of the surrounding areas.

The expansion of Silverburn will lead to the slow death of Glasgow city centre continuing thanks to the short sightedness and lack of vision of Glasgow City Council.

I was so pleased to read about Francis Denvir receiving the Legion d'Honneur on the occasion of his 100th birthday.

It's only a shame he has had to wait so long to be gifted the award for his fantastic efforts in a tank troop with the Irish Guards at Sword beach in Normandy in June 1944.

Well done to Francis and may he have a good few years left to enjoy the honour bestowed on him.

There's politician Alex Neil talking about how he would have bought a constituent food himself if the local food bank had been closed.

That's all very well. But wouldn't Mr Neil be better served asking questions about the rise in food bank use and when this current government is going to make real changes to stop people, in 2015, having to use their services.

I am sick and fed up just having to read these stories about how desperate people are - so I can't imagine exactly how sick and fed up the people are who are desperate enough to actually have to use food banks.

This is not good enough in a modern Scotland. Enough.
