Apparently, in the minutes since I started the thread, a man has been detained in Glasgow; no word on the bomb threat yet. The incident livened up a Friday night in Glasgow in a way it did not need to be enlivened.

Nelson Mandela Place at West George Street was shut off by officers from around 3.45pm on Friday after the incident at Amarone restaurant near Buchanan Street subway station.
Police officers moved in and detained a man just before midnight on Friday. He was taken away in a police van.
Earlier, police had revealed no hostages were involved and trained negotiators were at the scene of the alleged bomb threat. A Royal Navy bomb disposal team arrived on the scene just before 7pm.
In a police press conference at the scene, Superintendent Brian McInulty said the incident involved one man, who was contained within the Italian restaurant.
