take off?
1. I suppose of all the Glasgow bands that have had success in the last 20 odd years, most of them have chosen to remain here even after things have taken off for them?
2. I’ve got a dog, my recreation is going to Pollok Park with my dog. That’s what I do when I’m not on tour – that’s my main thing. And they had this thing where you can’t take your dog off the lead. That’s insane!
I don't understand them including 'take off'. Could you explain what each mean?
