800 degrees in Giffnock is good. Similar style to Paesano if you know that by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 16th Jul 2021 8:35pm)

I doubt the Bible John killings were even done by the same person to be honest. Bible John was a press invention by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 17th Jul 2021 9:44pm)

Just my theory. But in todays terms there's very little concrete evidence linking the murders except some similarities in MO. The first murder was a full year or more before the other two so an unexplained gap. Also the first murder (pat docker) its not clear what her movements were or if she even went to the barrowlands. The press really drove the idea of "Bible John" based on the testimony of a traumatised women who had lost her sister and was likely the worse for wear when she shared a taxi with "John". All im saying is there could be other explanations that a lone killer. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sun 18th Jul 2021 9:09am)

If you like being dumped off at Victoria at 6am with a banging sleepless headache, the smell of chemical toilets mixed with vom and shite up your nostrils, and whiplash neck then go for it. Cheap though by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 20th Jul 2021 8:10am)

Avanti run the train now but its the same trains with a paint job. Going via Edinburgh to Kings X on LNER is vastly superior if a bit longer in my opinion by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 20th Jul 2021 11:37am)

Get a train. Best route to London is to Kings Cross via Edinburgh on LNER. Much nicer trains. Avanti have just bought out Virgin and repainted the same old trains. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 20th Jul 2021 11:39am)

Most of the UK's "recycling" just gets shipped to a third world country anyway, where it fucks their environment instead of ours. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 22nd Jul 2021 5:00pm)

Partick. Buses every few minutes and well connected to the rest of the city with quite a few nice places nearby too. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 28th Jul 2021 8:29pm)

I guarantee that no matter how frazzled you are with it your neighbours will be even more so. They have to actually live in the same flat as the kid so bear that in mind. They will be exhausted and at their wits end and the last thing they will respond to are threats, police, the council etc. Just something to bear in mind by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 29th Jul 2021 12:41pm)

Perhaps you should reflect on your approach, as it probably wouldn't be good advice in this case. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 29th Jul 2021 4:58pm)

So you and u/wontonsoupings are all for calling the cops on some grandparents and a ten year old. That's a view to take. Personally I would avoid all confrontation and try to form some kind of dialogue. But each to their own. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 29th Jul 2021 9:38pm)

Ah ok. In my limited experience, The on street bins tend to be emptied more frequently and have less plastic etc chucked in them, I suppose as its the folk who give more of a fuck who use them I should add that our grey bins disappeared over lockdown and haven't been brought back by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 4th Aug 2021 4:01pm)

There's supposed to be an elephant buried at Kelvinbridge. Circuses used to parade up great Western Rd and one year poor Dumbo keeled over and snuffed it. It was too big to move so they pushed it off the bridge and buried it where it fell, somewhere near the subway station. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 5th Aug 2021 8:00am)

I worked on that site last year and AFAIK the new flats were going in the wasteland next to morrisons but the old cattle sheds were still there? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 11th Aug 2021 1:04pm)

The owners were the original vegan hipster indie crew in Glasgow, from back in the 90s when they ran the original 13th note. Not moved on much since then when they were the only vegan place in town... now there's loads of competition and they are bit behind.

Pretty bad, was in Govanhill the other day and nearly choked to death on a sourdough bagel by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 30th Sep 2021 12:14pm)

Most damp issues are not caused by 'rising damp' but either by condensation (ie moisture from within not getting out, moisture arising from cooking, cleaning, showering, breathing, drying clothes') or moisture getting in from outside, through a fault in the building structure. A damp patch near a window will almost certainly either be a faulty window (there's a gap) or condensation gathering on the panes and dripping down. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 30th Sep 2021 12:40pm)

Monster mash by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 1st Oct 2021 9:16am)

Its not listed on their website any more, so maybe it has shut permanently.... by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 1st Oct 2021 9:15am)

Ignore the price listed on zoopla. Find the home report value and add up to 15% onto it depending on area. You will need to come up with that 15% in cash on top of your deposit, as your lender will only lend up to the home report value. Find yourself an independent mortgage adviser and have an initial chat, they will help break it down for you, go through your finances etc and see whats achievable for you. Good luck! by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 6th Oct 2021 8:20am)

Depends where in Glasgow, for the east it may be better to go via stirling, for the west via Milngavie by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 6th Oct 2021 8:26am)

Also Castlemilk is a bit of Glasgow that juts into SL, E Ren for the same reasons by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 6th Oct 2021 8:31am)

I'm not a financial advisor! But you would need to show evidence of your deposit and finances, earnings etc to get a mortgage application through. Get an independent mortgage advisor with access to the full market. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 6th Oct 2021 12:44pm)

That climate emergency dollar, its a good dollar! by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 8th Oct 2021 6:13am)

The supposed point of COP is not to 'get Glasgow on the map' but to fix climate change, which the other 25 have resolutely failed to do. Why shouldn't we be cynical? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 8th Oct 2021 1:28pm)

Pretty bad for parking im afraid. On the upside you have a train station nearby and tons of buses, as well as loads of shops and supermarkets on your doorstep so maybe you won't need the car so much. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 19th Oct 2021 11:49am)

More likely would be installation of hi efficiency electric boilers which don't require ripping out your entire heating system. Microwave boilers are being developed which look interesting. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 19th Oct 2021 10:34pm)

Also Armstrongs on Battlefield Rd on Wednesday, rum shack Wednesdays, and Stag and Thistle Strathbungo sundays. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 20th Oct 2021 7:33am)

Southside there's also a few more informal jams, sessions, more like sitting round a table strumming. Sweeneys on a Monday and Tuesday, Heraghty's on a Monday, McNeills Thursday In fact the southside is the epicentre for these type of nights these days IMO! by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 20th Oct 2021 9:23am)

Looks tiny outside but its a tardis. Big screens, pool table, beer "garden", old boys drinking T. Its not bad. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 20th Oct 2021 9:36am)

One of the main reasons its in Glasgow is that a considerable portion of the UK's military power is housed on the Clyde. Having said that I'm also a bit anxious, as clearly its very hard to stop rogue loonies who don't care about dying from hurting others, and the marches etc would present easy targets. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 20th Oct 2021 10:14am)

Great to hear it's back. That night has been going for near 25 years.... by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 20th Oct 2021 10:30am)

OK it was chosen to bolster unionist sentiment. The presence of a vast chunk of military resources just up the road is COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL. Oh and the Hydro has such lovely acoustics. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 20th Oct 2021 2:31pm)

'Waiting for the crash' is only useful if you already have money/equity as a falling or stagnant market will make mortgages harder to get, and will constrict numbers of properties coming onto the market. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 23rd Oct 2021 8:45am)

It depends a lot on area and type of flat. Handsome sandstone tenement in the west end or southside? Pay a premium. Concrete cottage flat in Carntyne? Not so much. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 23rd Oct 2021 8:51am)

No UK airport does free drop-off any more. It has a bus that gets you in in under 15 min.

Well any venue that let someone in after midnight would be breaking their license if they couldn't show their vax passport. Exceptions include medical exemption from vaccination. Considering its a nightmare for venues to process, killing business, and a fucking stupid law to start with, my suspicion is some places will be more strict than others. Good luck 👍 by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 26th Oct 2021 11:44pm)

It could have been a mandatory service charge. It ought to be made clear on the bill if so. In fairness could be dodgy if the employers are topping up wages with tips from 'discretionary tipping' ehich is de facto mandatory and dodging NICs.

Defeating climate change with cringe by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 6th Nov 2021 2:58pm)

Dublin is absurdly expensive and you just have the DART train which connects the centre to the most expensive areas. Its frankly one of the worst places for income inequality and the insanity of housing prices would make you faint. This has been mainly driven by the massive tech boom driving income inequality on an absurd scale. We moan a lot but if you just visited Glasgow and experienced the city centre and your mates flat in the west end, then you'd get the impression this guy has. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sun 7th Nov 2021 7:26am)

Yeah there's a strike on. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sun 7th Nov 2021 9:42am)

This is a common issue post-COVID. Particularly in jobs traditionally perceived as 'low status' and done by middle aged men. It's across the board, in the US, UK and across the 'developed world'. Folk have been furloughed, then either took early retirement or retrained. They don't want to go back to doing the bins or driving a lorry. Also this demographic have been hit hard by COVID in health terms. Meanwhile everyone is sitting at home ordering goods from China causing at one end a supply chain crisis and at the other end a waste crisis by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 8th Nov 2021 9:30am)

the strike ended at midnight. However the dispute is rumbling on, and more strikes are threatened in the runup to Xmas. It's going to take a while for GCC to clear the backlog. I would try and get your neighbours and the factor to talk about the issue and see if there is a solution - even making sure the bins are accessible for the binmen when they eventually do get round to coming over can help, as a last resort take some of the excess yourself or try to ask folk to stop adding to the pile by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 9th Nov 2021 8:22am)

I noticed some Aussie dudes who worked in the fossil fuel industry in a pub last week. They were definitely here to lobby COP.

well aye. global oil demand is at an all time high, as is Chinese coal production. On the very day Biden made his speech at COP he was demanding OPEC ramp up production in order to bring the price of petrol down for US consumers. Fossil fuel is not going anywhere, except it will be politically unacceptable to mine it in the West so we'll be even more reliant on expensive imports, until the promised green transition occurs. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 9th Nov 2021 10:07am)

emissions are emissions. more CO2 = more warming, so how guilty or not you feel about your "emissions based on consumption" matters not a jot. Do you think your consumer choices really affect how China generates its electricity? Really? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 10th Nov 2021 9:31am)

'Per capita' is a red herring. Its the total number of greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere at any one time which counts. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 10th Nov 2021 10:11am)

this may be true but won't have any bearing on the planning permission unfortunately by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 12th Nov 2021 9:17am)

I guess it's not great, but within the context of what's already there (a garage forecourt/service area with concessions) it doesn't seem that hugely terrible to me. I suppose it could increase cars a wee bit? But it's already a business set up to service cars. I get people think the owners are arseholes but that's nothing to do with the planning permission. Having said all that, if it goes through then it establishes the planning principle of having a drive-through on site, which may be their long-term plan, i.e. turn the whole thing into a big drive-through site, which then makes it potentially more valuable land, which they could flog to Starbucks or whoever. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 12th Nov 2021 9:15am)

Langside is a historical village which was centred where Langside place and the monument are. The name is medieval and means long hill. The Battle of Langside took place in 1568, and when they built the tenements on the floodplain of the Cart in the early 20th century they named the new district Battlefield as it was in an area close to the fighting. Battlefield is a district of Langside if anything. In reality the name Langside now adheres to the whole bit which is on the hill south of QP, algie st, mansionhouse Rd millbrae Road, and Battlefield is everything from the bottom of the hill from Sinclair drive south basically until cathcart by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 24th Nov 2021 5:47pm)

Camphill refers originally to the hill in Queens Park, which has an Iron Age earthwork or "camp" on it. Camphill was once used as a name for the whole district centred around Queens park.

Its hardly laughably easy, its very expensive by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 4th Dec 2021 5:56pm)

Victorian/edwardian buildings do often have some restrictions on window type, making it more expensive to get double glazing. This would be either through being a listed building or if they are in a conservation area. The main reason more aren't double glazed, however, is that the landlords who own a large percentage of the tenement stock in the west end (for example) aren't going to spend the money to change the windows as they don't have to live there. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 4th Dec 2021 6:05pm)

The route doesn't go to Maryhill unless you propose knocking down the flats that are built on the old line past the botanics.

the A737 is a dual carriageway until Bridge of Weir and then it is more like a trunk A road until you get to the Dalry bypass. Then you cut through Kilwinning, Stevenston etc to Ardrossan. it's quickest route but maybe not the best? You may prefer taking the M77 to Kilmarnock then A71 to Irvine and A78 to Ardrossan, which is all motorways and duel carriageways I think.

Your house has gone up because the property market is in a bubble. New builds are inflated in price as they are new and also due to the effects schemes such as H2B have in effectively printing money and handing it to developers.

as a regular user of said playpark can confirm that it is pretty shabby. It needs to come up to the standards of other playparks in the other major Glasgow parks, which mainly seem to all be much better. There is council funding available for this at the moment apparently so hopefully something gets done, and I have no idea why this particular playpark is looking so bad right now. it does get a lot of use, as it serves a very wide area. To be fair to the council they have recently fixed some of the equipment, but there has been a spate of things getting broken, mainly by drunk teenagers at night. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 31st Mar 2022 1:40pm)

Train to Mount Florida, or a number 4, 5 or 6 first bus, 15 min walk to strathbungo for the nearest decent boozer by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 1st Apr 2022 6:36pm)

Depends what you are after. Govanhill is still imo very dirty but rapidly gentrifying. Split between hipsters, London blow ins, and various middle class white kids with their trousers rolled up past their ankles who will say its the best place, and immigrant communities (including Roma from Slovakia and Romania) who live in some extreme poverty. In and amongst it you also find glasgwegians who have been there for generations and a big mix of other communities of immigrant background, Pakistani to Irish and about 60 other nationalities in between. So its a very lively place in many ways. There were some notorious streets with barely habitable flats filled with cockroaches and bedbugs but the next close along could be lovely and well kept. There are lots of community efforts to improve it, tied with the gentrifying process, which no doubt will mean the immigrant communities get slowly pushed out and the hipsters take over, over the next years. Prices have rocketed in the last 2 or 3 years. Good luck. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sun 3rd Apr 2022 7:47am)

The only late bar (1am) is Linen which is OKish. Glad Cafe for gigs and pizza. Corona is lovely inside but always a bit dead after, well corona. Sweeneys is lively with music on most nights, older crowd. Phillies can be fun with djs etc on, Granary is OK, Finlays is for yer maw on cocktails, coke and karaoke, shout out to The Quaich as a proper cheap old man pub. Then the ivory and church on the hill towards Langside have outdoor seating and are popular on Hampden match days, do ok food etc but nothing particularly special imo Round Cathcart/B'field/MoFlo, you've got Armstrongs which has some lively nights on but a mixed crowd of older and younger with big screens beer 'garden' pool tables Scotland flags and the college across the road. Clockwork used to be ok but a bit sanitised since its recent renovation. Florida Park is for older locals and karaoke. Avoid this area if there's anything on at Hampden. IMO the best pubs are around Strathbungo/Govanhill - Allison Arms, Heraghtys, Rum Shack, Stag and Thistle, Brodie's ok for a sunny table. March town for a wanky craft beer. McNeills is a dive but lively and has been taken over by London art students, QPC ok for a mix of locals/hipsters. Bell Jar for a gentrified old man pub. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 7th Jun 2022 8:39am)

You could potentially get an spt zone card (you can get them weekly) which is a bit old fashioned (you need a physical photo and have to go in person to certain ticket offices to buy) but gets you on all the major transport suppliers. Glasgow public transport is ridiculously over complicated, too many suppliers and tickets, and overpriced. Stick to the subway if possible, Scotrail is also generally better/cheaper than the bus but depends where you want to go AND is currently operating a reduced timetable NB add to the mix that the RMT union are about to call strike action which will affect all rail in the UK by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 8th Jun 2022 8:07am)

You need to find out where they are breeding and laying eggs, where the wee worm/caterpillars are. By the time they are flying they are no longer eating and killing them then does very little to reduce numbers. They are eating something in your carpets, clothes cupboards or drawers. If you have old furniture or stuff from charity shops get rid. Clean and hoover everything. Throw out anything infested. Put all your clothes in the freezer overnight then seal in vacuum bags. Keep hoovering, rinse and repeat. Lavender, mothballs may help deter new infestations but right now your only real solution is total cleaning and throwing out everything infested. Have no mercy. Good luck. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 24th Jun 2022 7:01am)

Since the end of T we've had an upsurge in (a) wanker behaviour at multiple city-park based substitute concerts- all these acts used to just play T but now there's a stadium/Park gig every other week (b) general wanker dirty camper behaviour with folk rocking up to the Highlands, having a mad weekend in tents, lighting fires, bbqs then dumping their stuff, as if they are at T. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 4th Jul 2022 6:11pm)

Victoria Park is 7.30am but I guess you need something from 7 or 7.15? Most are 8am I think You could pay someone to do the drop off for you, but that would be extra cost on top of £50 a day or whatever the nursery costs. And that person better be super reliable! Or you could negotiate a later start with your employer(s). You may have some legal rights to ask for this, depends though.

Over peak lockdown and Christmas/new year 2020/21 we had an offer accepted mid November and didn't get the keys til mid march as that was the date the seller had set as a final deadline for their forward purchase in the chain Due to multiple factors compounded by lockdown and the conveyancer our own inexperience, it took ages to get all the paperwork through for the mortgage at our end.

the 'offers over' figure is a meaningless low ball number meant to attract interest, nothing more. it's the percentage paid over the home report value (ie cash down over the mortgageable value of the property) you need to get your knickers in a twist over. this would be normally 10% -15% higher than the OO figure. This is a lovely house in a posh area, so aye it's worth a few bob, and 325k is obviously lowball i would say. no idea what the HRV was as the sale is completed, but ballpark more like 20-25% over HRV, which is still mental but not 37% mental by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 27th Jul 2022 11:05pm)

Ive used cowheels for a few years, its more expensive and more popular than it used to be. Decent service but make sure you book ahead (particularly for weekends). They messed me about once for a booking (let me book a car which didnt actually exist yet and tried to fob me off with a completely different class of vehicle, a wee electric car when i needed a family sized one to go a long distance on a motorway). Sometimes the cars can be manky, but its a trade off for convenience. Also be careful as they price their mileage charge at the equivalent of £2 per litre of fuel, especially of you have one of their more efficient toyota hybrids. Basically for longer bookings/trips you may be as well getting a standard hire car. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 30th Aug 2022 1:07pm)

I doubt you will get a mortage as PhD student, however do go and make an appointment with an independent whole-of-market mortgage advisor (we used First Mortgage who were pretty good) who can talk you through your options. Do not speak to an in-house mortgage advisor at a bank or building society, they will be trying to sell you their employer's product and won't look at the whole market. When looking at house prices, ignore the 'offers over' price- request the Home Report and get the Home Report Value (HRV) from it - this is the maximum you will be able to get a mortgage for. When bidding, it's a closed bid system. People routinely bid north of 10% over the HRV. This extra 10% is cash on top of the mortage and your cash deposit. If I was you I wouldn't buy right now as the market is almost certainly going to tank in 6-12 months. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 9th Sep 2022 3:43pm)

So you're saying Inn Deep are cunts because they gave you a plastic glass for outside? you do realise they have to do what they are told by the licencing board, and to step outside Inn Deep you're onto a public footpath (Kelvin walkway) that's also a national cycle route? So you want folk walking dogs/prams/cyclists to have to walk over your broken glass aye? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 16th Sep 2022 9:00am)

I take it you have asked the bar why they use plastic? As soon as you walk outside the door you are on a NCP/GCC green active travel path etc. I guarantee you the pub dont have the choice. They used to serve glass outside and had tables by the river. All that was stopped by GCC licencing board. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 16th Sep 2022 9:30am)

Its not a theory, its a fact. licencing works by looking at each bar on its merits, they can ask certain pubs to follow certain rules based on their own specific circumstsnces and constraints. Inn deep is about 100 times busier than lock 27 for a start. Also as I recall L27 has a few tables that can be accessed wothout having to walk on the NCP. Inn Deep is directly constrained, ie you cant get to the outside arch without walking on the NCP. I dont know about West. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 16th Sep 2022 9:53am)

Dublin has a bit nicer climate and pretty seaside areas like Sandycove, Killiney, Howth. It's atrociously expensive as others have noted. You're close to the Wicklow hills which are pretty but no match for Loch Lomond etc to be honest. Dublin is very touristy and international, more like Edinburgh. Actually Glasgow is more like Belfast for many reasons not just sectarianism. The Irish descendant community of Glasgow originated mainly from Ulster and Donegal. Culturally it has more in common to the North while Dublin has historic connections to England in particular Liverpool and to some extent London. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 7th Dec 2022 9:01pm)

Buses in Edinburgh are great and easy, only one company, flat fare, decent app, screens/announcements to tell you where you are, etc. Also they have a small tram network. All operated by the same public owned company. Buses in Glasgow are hellish by comparison. Multiple companies, multiple ticket types. However Glasgow has the subway (ran by SPT and not subject to the current strikes) and an OK suburban rail network (operated by Scotrail and subject to the current strikes). Glasgow also has public bike rentals (currently OVO bikes/nextbikes) which Edinburgh doesnt have. Edinburgh is hell for traffic, tourists and big hills, and the North Bridge is shut for the next eternity, lacks anything other than buses and the odd tram. Also they built the main train station at the bottom of a big hole in the ground so is terrible for accessibility. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 27th Dec 2022 12:05pm)

Car or taxi then, or patch it til the strikes are off. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 8:05am)

Car clubs are good for this. As long as you live near an available car, it's better than trad car rental as there's no deposits and no hidden charges except if you cause serious damage. The downsides are availability (you'll need to book way in advance to get a popular car)and the car wont be valeted after each use. If you're ok with electric vehicles they tend to be less used. I've used cowheels for 8 years and have generally had a good service, except for a couple of notable occasions. For example if for any reason you book a car and they can't provide the car (eg it broke down prior to your booking) they have no obligation to provide an equivalent replacement car. One time i had a family sized car booked for a family trip, they couldnt provide it and tried to rebook me onto a wee EV which wasnt suitable. I ended up having to book from a trad car hire company last minute at great expense. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 2:34pm)

They work to stop some high freqency sound reverberating within your room, they wont stop sound travelling through your walls and ceiling by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 10th Jan 2023 3:54pm)

Invest in decent noise cancelling headphones/buds (£250) or install decoupled false ceiling (£1000s ) by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 10th Jan 2023 3:51pm)

Its physics, sound is made of waves of energy, the lower frequency they are the more energy they contain and the more mass required to stop them. Eggboxes are light cardboard and dont stop sound passing through, but they can reflect some very high frequencies and stop them bouncing around. Making your space less sound-reflective will have some effect on how you perceive neighbour noise, as that sound wont be reverberating and amplifying in your space. However, it wont stop it coming through in the first place. To do that you need to put dense material in the way and stop as many pathways of travel as possible, eg by building decoupled false walls and ceilings. Or, just get some noise cancelling headphones, or move out.... by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 10th Jan 2023 5:51pm)

It stands to reason if we are talking about reopening the old finnieston-botanics line, using its old tunnels which go under the botanics, past kelvinbridge, in the old tunnel by inn deep, under gwr to the botanics. You can extrapolate fairly easily it would have a bunch of negative effects for questionable benefits. Cost wise we could look at similar schemes (eg trams in edinburgh, manchester etc) and assume in 2020s price it will not be cheap. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 22nd Feb 2023 11:09pm)

So knocking down dozens of perfectly useful homes in order to rebuild a railway out of use for 90 years? That's nuts. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 23rd Feb 2023 7:12am)

Well you can grab an old map, trace the old line which runs from finnieston/stobcross to maryhill, look at the entrances to the old tunnels under kelvingrove and thr botanics, look at the bits at kirklee and kelvindale which now how have flats on them. The line would cut the kelvin walkway at kelvinbridge, and have trains running by businesses and homes near the line, for the first time since the 1930s. How do you think its likely to pan out? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 23rd Feb 2023 7:17am)

Petrol cars need to be Euro 4 (2006 onwards but check your model) Diesels Euro 6 (2015 onwards but check model). electrics fine. The fact the M8 is excluded while also running through the city tells you all you need to know. Note its nothing to do with carbon dioxide but rather polluting emmissions. Hence diesels are targetted despite having instrinsically lower carbon than petrols Within a few years they'll no doubt expand it and make it Euro 6 for all vehicles by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 27th Feb 2023 3:08pm)

Queens Park, Newlands park are great.

Langside is quiet and leafy but close enough to strathbungo, viccy rd, shawlands if you want a night out. Also youve church on the hill or the ivory as your locals. the 90 bus and 34 bus stop by the monument which can be handy for say getting to Asda or the train/subway without a big walk.

No. Site Health and Safety is supposed to exclude anyone without clearance and without health and safety training. If kids were getting in continually as you say then its entirely the fault of the construction company not putting up proper fences and not providing proper security. Wee kids getting in and messing about is a risk at every construction site. Placing the blame on parents is pure victim blaming, sorry. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 14th Apr 2023 3:58pm)

What are they supposed to do? Keep the kids out. Put up proper fences, employ security guards, involve the police if necessary. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 14th Apr 2023 4:00pm)

Ive worked on construction sites and know health and safety, trust me its the fault of the company. They should have assessed the issue with the kids and dealt with it. All sites are vulnerable to kids getting in. If theres no way of stopping them then cover the manhole. The company knew and didnt do their job. Happens all the time. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 14th Apr 2023 4:18pm)

The legal and moral responsibilty is on constructors to secure the site. Not on parents.... to suggest otherwise is absolute bullshit by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 1:54am)

It's pronounced "fuck off" by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 1:57am)

Do you understand how H & S law works on construction sites? Inadequate fencing and uncovered manholes are the contractors fault. A kid falls down a hole and dies? Almost certainly the contractors responsibilty unless they can demonstrate they did absolutely everything to stop it, which very clearly they didnt as there was a gap in the heras fence and the hole was left uncovered. And they would have known about the kids issue. Blaming the dead kid's parents is absoluty wild. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 9:11am)

Nope its on the contractors digging massive holes with massive 13 ton machines to protect their workers and the public. Kids are kids and will do stupid shit. So we should just rely on parents "teaching kids' on safeguarding dangerous construction sites? Thats not how the law works, its not how reality works. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 9:27am)

OP's opinion on someone else's parenting (after their %%$$$ing kid has died) is completely irrelevant! If your kid died after running in front of a car, do you blame the parents??? Same thing. The people in charge of the big dangerous machine/car/big hole in the ground have the burden of proof to demonstrate they arent responsible. 100% correct in the law and how it should be. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 10:19am)

It's irrelevant. Kids, "bad parents" or whatever, occur everywhere. Its a known risk. If you operate a dangerous construction site it's 100% your responsibility to assess that risk and mitigate. That's the burden of responsibility under the law and that's exactly what the court has ruled on here. Shifting blame onto hearsay of 'bad parenting' is completely absurd and legally, nonsense. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 10:34am)

Because your opinion/ hearsay/tut tutting re: someone's supposed parenting skills (or lack of) is completely irrelevant. There are a raft of laws and procedures to prevent workplace accidents in particular on construction sites. They need to risk assess and mitigate whatever the site specific risks are, including kids getting on, animals, whatever. They didnt do that adequately and the courts have ruled. You are the one victim blaming, based off hearsay on a reddit post, so maybe you need to ask yourself a few questions. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 11:00am)

Train tickets go on sale about 3 months in advance. Cheapest are called "super advance" or something like thst. You may need to buy from the train operators website to get these (eg Avanti for the West Coast Mainline, Scotrail etx). There are third party websites too like The Trainline.com which can offer ticket split deals on some routes (eg instead of single to point C, you get singles from A-B then B-C saving money). There are also specific tickets aimed at tourists travelling around. Edit, these are called a 'Britrail Pass'. Our train network is expensive, complex and unreliable.

They seem fairly cheap though, averages about £50 a month not including one off repairs.

DELETED As you suggest look at other types of places, 19th c tenements are very overpriced and frankly falling to bits, needing major major repairs in a lot of cases. We managed to get 1950s ex GHA place in thst area for less than the absolute crazy rates a couple of years ago. We made an immediate offer of something like 12% over HR and they took it off the market. Still high but at least not 20% over. There are a some decent mid to late 20th c flats and around, keep checking. Try to get them to accept an offer without going to closing date. Look for sellers looking for a quick sale, eg their gran has gone in a home and they're selling up to cover the fees. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 5th May 2023 8:03am)

It's not cheap(er) unless you book months in advance. I think only the driver can rent the car? Use a credit card. Make sure to only rent from the same time on the day you pick up and drop off (ie 12-12) .Most car rentals are based from the airport. Instead of buying the rental companies add-on insurance protection, shop around for 3rd party providers. Some will lure you in with low prices only to sting you on extra charges for minor marks and scuffs. Personally I used to use enterprise, not because they were cheap but because they had an office in town, and were reasonable with fair wear and tear. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sun 21st May 2023 10:38am)

Avoid flats in general, look for a semi detached in Knightswood, you could get a doer upper for your budget. All Glasgow flats can be bad for sound proofing no matter the age. If you insist on a flat then look for something from the 80s or 90s onwards with concrete floors. I have a post ww2 ex council flat with wooden floors and we know everything about our upstairs neighbours. And the continual squeaky floorboards.

In order to take beer outside at Inn Deep you have to step directly onto a public footpath (kelvin walkway) which is a core path and also part of a national cycle route, important for active travel etc. Theres no way to take a pint to the outdoor bit without stepping onto that path. Also on busy days it can get very busy very fast, and they dont have the staff to manage glass collection when folk are spilling all along the river. So Im led to believe it's to help them maintain their outdoor licence which has been threatened at various times due to issues with the path, crowds etc. They used to allow glass outside and also had seating directly by the river but had to lose them due to issues with drunk crowds blocking cyclists basically. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 30th May 2023 2:20pm)

Well the fact I had to repeat myself shows how much you've thought about the site specific constraints at Inn Deep. Im just relaying what Ive learned from the folk that run the place. Lock 27 has outdoor seating which you dont need to cross onto the path to get to and is about ten times less busy. But dont let facts intrude on your wee moan by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 30th May 2023 3:03pm)

Im very much willing to bet they arent supposed to put tables there.... as the canal towpath is scottish canals land and a protected monument, but in any case they have a bit of beer garden which youve ignored which is off the towpath. In either case it hardly matters as beer tastes the same in plastic as glass, and folk that moan about that are fuds. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 30th May 2023 5:32pm)

Literally any street or park, noone particularly cares, though personally I'd avoid Kelvingrove on sunny days as it tends to attract bams and therefore police.

Positioning himself to be able to blame others when it inevitably implodes by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 8th Jun 2023 2:27pm)

Yeah. Though the festival has been ran by his son since the start (2010ish). Craig Murray has been mainly in the background, running the bar, providing some money. He seems to be taking a more front facing role this time, which is not a particularly good look, as many folk find his political shenanigans questionable, not to mention he ended up in the jail recently, etc etc. I cant see how it helps a beleagured festival rebuild its tattered reputation by having this guy giving press statements. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 8th Jun 2023 3:34pm)

Small festivals have volunteers running the bars, doing traffic, security, build up, take down etc. They normally work a couple of shifts in exchange for free access to the festival. Organisers may ask for some form of deposit as inevitably some folk would take the piss, get wasted, wander into a sea of tents and not show up for their shift. Bear in mind these are generally young flakey stoner hippy types. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Fri 9th Jun 2023 8:49am)

So would deaths of pedestrians and kids on bikes by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 12th Jun 2023 11:36am)

In germany they have traffic lights and a variety of pedestrian crossing types, much the same as here. Everyone is used to being controlled by lights in this country so waiting 30 secs for a light to change, rather than being mowed down by an impatient Audi driver, is a small price to pay. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 12th Jun 2023 12:03pm)

Are you an anti traffic light fundamentalist and/or a concern troll? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 12th Jun 2023 12:08pm)

So whats the benefit of changing? It doesnt seem to be a better system. Marginally less red lights for drivers in exchange for less protected crossing points for the vulnerable? I thought we were supposed to be encouraging less driving. Seems like a regressive step. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 13th Jun 2023 8:10am)

Getting rid of traffic lights may be fine if you arent a child, lacking mobility, or in any way afraid of crossing busy traffic. On my daily nursery run I cross at least five dangerous junctions/intersections and one very narrow and dangerous pavement. Not one has a protected crossing of any sort. The reality of walking/driving in this city is that drivers need a big bastard shiny red light to make them think of stopping.

The idea is you work in exchange for access to the festival and free meals, the deposit is to ensure that if you fuck off or are incapable of doing your shifts (tripping your nut out in a vango tent for example) the fesitval is covered.

Also integrated tickets/oyster card type tickets were easy to sort out for COP but not for the people of Glasgow the rest of the time.

Really sad. Had amazing times playing gigs there in the early to mid 2000s. I hope it can be resurrected. Important music spaces shouldnt be run under the precarious single-owner small business model. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 19th Jul 2023 12:19pm)

She bought it as a going concern after Craig Tannock's original 13th note went bust in 2002. She then invested nothing in the place, while trading off the reputation of the original Note. The only reason the place survived was due to the passion of the staff determined to keep it going as a music venue bar and veggie/vegan restaurant. She brought no new ideas or investment. Fixtures, fittings, layout are all basically the same as they were in 2002. So aye, falling to bits by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 19th Jul 2023 12:45pm)

Hmmm, dont go reading any books or articles on Scottish religious history, I think you'd get a fright. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 4:30pm)

Yes, that would be terrible, if it was what I actually said. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 4:59pm)

It's more of a "whose child can shout and stomp the loudest" contest by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 5:15pm)

You're inventing entire things I didn't say, then asking me to prove I didnt say them. So, I suggested you go and read my comment again, as the version of it in your head doesnt correspond to the words I typed some time ago. Are you feeling OK? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 5:41pm)

Ask yourself the question. You're not arguing with me, or my words, your arguing with your own interpretation of my words. I don't need to explain anything to you. But, you can choose to read my words in any light you wish. You have that freedom. Or, more likely, you will choose to continue to believe in your own interpretation, and we will go no further in our understanding. Have a good evening. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 5:56pm)

OK, my original point was that Scotland has played a historically important role in exporting this type of religious dogma around the world, and it's ironic, to me, that it is coming back to haunt us. The first point is one of historic fact; the second, you can take or leave. You have chosen to interpret that as me being happy that a lady was shouted at in Milngavie. That's entirely your interpretation, and I didn't say that. However, I can see why you may have thought I implied that. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 6:15pm)

The software company magically was founded for the purpose of administering the portal. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 24th Oct 2023 3:28pm)

Is it not illegal anyway, smoking in an enclosed public space? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 30th Oct 2023 1:13pm)

I would have thought any enclosed non domestic space shared by random people would be covered by the smoking ban. Technically pubs arent 'public' either, their private establishments in which you can sit in exchange for purchasing a product by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 30th Oct 2023 4:28pm)

Smoking is banned in any enclosed space "to which the public or section of public has access". Id be very surprised if that didnt include a close. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 30th Oct 2023 4:37pm)

A group called "art workers for palestine"... not sure of the significance of protesting in queen st... maybr coz its very public and yet out of the rain? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 6th Nov 2023 7:51pm)

Why the masks though? by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 7th Nov 2023 9:48am)

That seems highly unlikely. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 7th Nov 2023 11:55am)

They arent commiting a crime, there would be no grounds for employers to sack them for attending this protest, unless they were dogging a shift or something. If you were determined to 'doxx' anyone on this demo you could easily do it. the masks wont offer much protectiom. There's some other reason at play. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 7th Nov 2023 12:29pm)

Street food waste bins are a better system for this city. They get serviced more regularly, and if you're willing to make the effort to walk down with your wee bag of waste you're less likely to fling stuff in which shouldnt be there. It also limits the number of flies in summer. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 15th Nov 2023 8:35pm)

Its aimed at the international student market, desparate for accomodation and funded by their home govt or student loans or parents money. As in folk with zero money sense who just need somewhere for a year and can accept getting ripped off as in a few years they'll be earning big in London or whatever. Alternatively the landlord set this place up as an airbnb and now that platform is dying on its arse you're seeing these places show up on rightmove at airbnb prices by Alarming_Mix5302 (Sun 19th Nov 2023 10:41am)

Look for a newish built flat with double glazing, insulation etc. Most mould problems are due to condensation/humidity/lack of airflow rather than water ingress or rising damp. Avoid basement flats or top floor in older buildings. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 20th Nov 2023 7:50am)

Yer maw by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 20th Nov 2023 8:33pm)

Hows about, and indulge me here, actually investing in improving the infrastructure and networks we already have, before diverting resources into big grandstanding schemes... For example, a joined up network of modernised electric buses, or a citywide integrated ticket scheme? Polticians prefer big headline grabbing schemes I suppose by Alarming_Mix5302 (Wed 22nd Nov 2023 4:33pm)

You are confusing cheap with better. They are the same shitty unreliable diesel buses, but stuck in worse city traffic than we have here. And for the majority of the city the bus is your only choice. Shite. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Thu 7th Dec 2023 2:41pm)

I cant remember specific nightsz but FF (Woodlands Rd), Machair (GWR) and Duke's bar (Yorkhill) all have decent open mics. Also the Butterfly & Pig and The Clutha in town. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Mon 11th Dec 2023 12:16pm)

Fair enough. They should get paid properly for peddling through this pissing rain, just to bring some lazy person a big mac. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 12th Dec 2023 1:24pm)

Yes clearly, all services are lazy. I only respect people who build their own houses, or who perform surgery on themselves, or deliver their own babies. Totally valid to compare that with someone buying a big mac on deliveroo. Well done. by Alarming_Mix5302 (Tue 12th Dec 2023 6:43pm)
