Cornelious Kelly, known as Connie, made headlines after his big yellow duck advertising display burst in the 90mph gusts last Friday causing the white balls from inside to saturate the streets.
As Glaswegians have started repairing the damage caused by Storm Eowyn - one man has been battling more than just windy conditions in Dennistoun .
From firebombed ducks to stolen gorillas, Big Duck Bathrooms has gifted locals with some of the most unique advertising campaigns the city has ever seen. "I used to do the taxis and tile and plumb part-time and my wee girl one day asked me to put this duck on my car. It was an old ex-taxi that I used, so I told her of course I would and I bolted it just above the mirror. The car was getting binned in a year or two anyway so it was a bit of fun.
He continued: "We've always had bathtubs on the vans and one day a recycling shop across the road said they had some mannequins and we should put them in them. So I did it and they were a success so I kept them... until they were nicked a month later but they then looked weird without them so I got more.
He added: "Love them or hate them it doesn't matter. What matters is that people notice them, they tell their friends about what they've seen or they'll complain online.
