Thanks, I saw that when I was looking, going to write the numbers down. Do you know if I need to wait until I am homeless to contact them or can they offer help /advice before hand by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 8th Jan 2021 10:50pm)

Thank you I will do by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 8th Jan 2021 10:57pm)

Yeah I was a bit panicked when I posted that I missed out some details I should have included I'm 20 but stay with my parents looking after the wee ones so I don't think the eviction ban applys to me. I will definitely be contacting shelter though thanks by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:38pm)

I'm feeling better about it now more prepared for the eventuality I'm going to contact shelter see their advice. I'm definitely going to note what you have said Ive been putting whatever money I can aside just in case it did happen but it was the first few days before I found a place that was really scaring me. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:43pm)

Looking back at the post there was a lot of key info I missed out I was pretty panicked when I posted. I'm a guy so don't think women's aid will help but I'm going to contact shelter and I might give women's aid a call see if there are any other orginiations they can refer me to by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:41pm)

I'm going to be contacting people, I don't know why but I thought I had to wait until I was homeless to contact them. Thanks for your reply and setting me straight by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:46pm)

Yeah that's what I'm going to do. Thanks for replying by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:45pm)

Yeah I'm going to contact the groups that people recommend on here. Thanks for your kind thoughts by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:50pm)

Thanks for your reply, I was pretty flustered when I posted For some context I probably should have included I'm 20 but still stay with my parents to look after my younger siblings, I don't know why but my mum is threatening to kick me out some days and others wants me to stay for as long as possible, I got a job recently and have been storing whatever money I make just in case I'm chucked out. It's the first few days I'm most worries about, before I can find a place to rent. What you've said though I've noted, I really appreciate your reply by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:59pm)

Thank you I'm in my final year of uni staying with my parents to look after my younger siblings, I don't know why but my mum is threatening to kick me out some days and others wants me to stay for as long as possible. I'm kind of scared to share it with the uni tbh. I got a job recently and have been storing whatever money I make just in case I'm chucked out. It's the first few days I'm most worries about, before I can find a place to rent by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 6:07pm)

Good to know, my initial post was vaguer than it should have been but I don't think it doesn't really apply to me but I'm glad you shared it anyway. sorry that happened to you it's information I hope I'll never need but if I do need it will be very glad I have. Thank you by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 9th Jan 2021 6:14pm)

Don't worry, I'm sure they will raise the minimum unit pricing try and price us out of drinking by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 21st May 2021 8:59pm)

I wouldn't go further east than dennistoun by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 24th May 2021 10:46pm)

I went to strath denistoun is a decent enough area at a decent price, plenty of students stay there but there's also families and that there as well. It's about 10-20 min walk from the uni. I would probably recommend at least having a look there. There's also the flats at drygate close to the necropolis, they are basically right beside the uni. I knew some students that stayed there but don't know how much they cost. There is also a lot of flats around the Saint mungos/ Kennedy Street area, I didn't know anyone who stayed there but they are very close to the uni 5-10 min walk and shouldn't be to expensive There's the merchant city as well also close to the uni, in the city centre but more expensive and I don't know what it's like in terms of noise and drunk people at night since the merchant city has a fair few bars and restaurants at it. On the other side of the Clyde there is the quay and plantation area, these are "up and coming" areas but are a decent price though I know a few people that have moved there recently but don't know much about the area. You would probably want to take the subway (which is pretty fast and reliable in Glasgow) or get a bike to get to strahclyde if you stay there. Like other people said strathy is pretty close to the city centre so you can get a bus or train there easily from pretty much anywhere in Glasgow or the surrounding area. Hope this is some help by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 24th May 2021 10:59pm)

You're optimistic if you think we will get put in 3 once the football is over, I reckon they will put us in 4 after all those mass gatherings (just to be safe of course/s) by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 27th May 2021 10:28pm)

But you do by robbing them of their life and freedom so they may as well be dead? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 29th May 2021 2:34pm)

Yeah the other guy shared a link to it but you can book support. When you book you will have one meeting with a councilor where they will have a chat with you discuss your problems and what they can do to help. You will then get put on a waiting list to see a different councilor, you get 12 sessions with them (either once a week or once every other week can't remember sorry) where you either go with a goal of something you want addressed (CBT) or a more general chat (like therapist in movies) but the first councilor will explain all of this to you and are generally pretty good. The only problem is there is generally a waiting list and I don't know how covid will have affected it. But definitely sign up for the service as soon as possible because there is other services they can provide in the meantime until your actual sessions. There is also (or used to be) a group CBT session you could go to but that always seemed pretty daunting to me and I never went. Though looking back now I think it could have been quite good of I had. Hope this is some help by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 1st Jun 2021 4:31pm)

The irn bru carnival is miles better by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 3:44pm)

Lots of good advice One thing I haven't seen mentioned is your radiators might need "bled" I would suggest watching a YouTube video on that as you will probably have to do that at some point anyway. Also if you aren't to embarrassed asking your neighbors is probably the best bet by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 16th Aug 2021 6:52pm)

I think that might be the plan tbh, Google maps and first bus plan your journey were saying there wasn't the 267 or 263 running for whatever reason but not sure if that's just a glitch with the app since I haven't seen anything on their website about it. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 25th Aug 2021 6:54pm)

Nor could I which is what confused me, I usually use Google maps and it's saying most first busses aren't running so I checked the first bus app for Sunday as well and it's plan your journey feature said there wasn't any busses either (but I think it uses Google maps to do it so that might be why) by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 25th Aug 2021 6:52pm)

No I checked that as well, set it to a variety of times and no joy, it's advice was if I want to he there by Sunday I should get the last bus on Saturday. Today I checked the bus times for next week just to see if it was only Sunday that was acting up but it wasn't showing any busses for then either. So my current theory is I was looking to far ahead and Google hasn't got next week's bus times yet for whatever reason. I've checked the paper timetable and going to trust it's correct. Anyway thanks for your help I appreciate it. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 26th Aug 2021 11:53am)

How do you know they are straight? Is this a case of them not fitting into your stereotypes enough by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 5th Sep 2021 6:56pm)

Didn't realise they were a franchise until now, only knew about the central one. Do you know if it's owned by a big company or is it just a second location opened by the owner? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 5th Sep 2021 7:12pm)

Again how do you know they are cishet then? Other than just applying your own stereotypes to them. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 5th Sep 2021 7:18pm)

Please continue being a bigot and trying to erase members of the LGBT+ society. Thankfully the wider community is calling you out on your bs by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 5th Sep 2021 9:53pm)

Damn you discovered the conspiracy everyone that calls you out on your shittiness is actually a computer program. But on a serious note the truth hurts doesn't it and it's clear you aren't going to improve yourself anytime soon. So maybe start a club only for LG people since you have such a problem with BT+ people being at LGBT+ clubs by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 6th Sep 2021 10:41am)

there we go again you calling BT+ people straight. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 6th Sep 2021 1:17pm)

Less about life deteriorating and more about loosing my shame. They don't have any shame and make more begging than most do working so it's a no brainer for them by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 6th Sep 2021 9:00pm)

They never lost it, they never had it. They come from a different culture that promotes begging and stealing than yours and a mistake people is whitewashing and erasing peoples cultures and imaging they are just like you. Don't get me wrong I'm sure they have shame and there is stuff they wouldn't do, it's just not the same things we would feel shame about which is why your whole argument is built on a poor premise by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 7th Sep 2021 9:47am)

Even when you get a PCR test though you swab yourself don't you? From talking to people who have been tested you do for the drive in centres, you do for the walk ins, and you certainly do for the home PCR tests. Is there any test were others swab you? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 7th Sep 2021 9:51am)

Because it's not, I'm talking about a culture that you are trying to ignore, The fact that you are trying to say that they do it because of their race is really fucking alarming. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 7th Sep 2021 2:50pm)

Thanks for reiterating that I'm talking about culture, you know the thing that needs addressed of peoples outcomes are to improve You're the same sort that got upset with those charities that improved sanitation in India aren't you. Getting upset that the first thing they had to address was Indian culture, trying to get the charitys shut down for being racist since they acknowledged that their culture is different to ours and street dedication was common in it. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 7th Sep 2021 3:22pm)

Anecdotal but from talking to people negative tests seem to get returned within 24 hours positive tests take longer by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 7th Sep 2021 5:28pm)

Honestly depends where and what you're applying for, if you're applying to big companies Aldi, Tesco, KFC that sort of thing then you will probs struggle or I did anyway. Small companies and local/independent businesses I had better luck with even going in in person and asking if they were looking for employees, plus they are generally more decent with you than corporations. Industry and hospitality is desperate for people, tons of pubs are hiring right now The central Scotland job centre Twitter posts vacancies daily Depending on your age (if you're less than 25) you are pretty much guaranteed a job through the job centre kickstart scheme, it's min wage but you also get traning in new skills that should get you a job after it. And most importantly getting a job can be hard stick at it and don't beat yourself up to much by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 10th Sep 2021 11:59pm)

I've kicked people out for not filling in test and trace or just taking a pic and pretending to. The best/oddest people are the ones that tell me they always put down fake details anyway as they are filling it in like that's fine I won't serve you, I check their ID or give the number a ring and when their details inevitably don't match they get chucked out. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:04am)

Yeah it's an 8-12 week window for getting the Jag Not a medical expert either but I imagine it's like taking all your medicine in the morning when your ment to take half in the morning and half at night Anyway by law you don't need a vax pass and there is "no plans for it for restruants" but I imagine private business are free to refuse service without proof of they wished. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:13am)

And 2 months ago we were never going to have a vaccine passport because they were unethical but here we are. If all the restrictions were put in place at once too many people would protest. Just like boiling a live frog it has to be done gradually by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:10am)

You're right within reason you still have to wait the min 8 weeks since that's is the min time between jags for it to be effective but after the 8 weeks then yeah you can show up to a drop in centre by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:15am)

For most people it doesn't harm it either, especially not now that people are vaccinated by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:44am)

You understand that covid is never going away right? So unless you plan on keeping yourself locked away for the rest of your life you are going to have to learn to live with it by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:42am)

*Covid doesn't go away full stop You could keep us in lockdown for the next twenty years of you wanted and there would still be covid when we got out of it by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 12:47am)

Yeah that my point you just made thank you, I've never heard you call people selfish for going out during the winter despite the number of people the flu kills each year, you've learned to live with it just as you will need to learn to live with covid by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 10:08am)

Exactly that's why I don't understand why you want the virus to be as deadly as possible to as many as possible for as long as possible, I don't know how you think the common flu and other viruses stopped being deadly to people but it wasn't magic it was by people being brave enough to go out and build up a resistance to them by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Sep 2021 7:58pm)

It's West end so not as helpful to you but I really like the hug and pint by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 12th Sep 2021 1:03pm)

To quote a show that stopped after 5 seasons "Winter is coming" by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 12th Sep 2021 2:14pm)

I don't know if you mean what I do or what they do. If them I don't know what goes on in their head, they could have a few reasons, not wanting to get contacted and have to isolate, "not being a sheep", every citizens duty to rebel against the government, being difficult for the sake of it, who knows why. If me legally I have to if nothing else, id also rather people were told if they might have covid and need to get a PCR test, that's all it is there's nothing nefarious going on. It's also nesecery with the number of staff that have came down with covid in the last month a fair few customers must have it as well by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 12th Sep 2021 9:08pm)

Also where did that photo come from? I never meant to attach an image and certainly don't have that pic on my phone by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 18th Sep 2021 10:08am)

THE TYRANNY OF THE MODS SHALL... wait the mods are listening to feed back and trying to improve the sub? *puts pitchfork away* by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 29th Sep 2021 10:22am)

I think you might be thinking about the Titan crane? It's been a tourist attraction for years, someone took me there to do abseiling fory birthday a good 4-6 years ago by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 5th Oct 2021 2:46pm)

Definitely don't want to see the NFL done out of money, not at all. But maybe don't say it to often since it might end up getting them in trouble by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 5th Oct 2021 10:48pm)

The bins are collected fortnightly at least by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 5th Oct 2021 10:46pm)

For me it's rubbish one week then a recycling bin the next then rubbish again. Is it different for you? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 6th Oct 2021 1:02pm)

Nah protestors are flying in from allover the world (ironic) there's a lot of organisations asking you to give them your spare room for free. It seems like a massive covid risk to me gathering people from all over the world with unknown strains tightly together so they can scream and yell by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 8th Oct 2021 10:44am)

It's not just policymakers and people working on making the right decisions You've also got a fair few protesters with to much money on their hands flying over to scream and shout well away from the event so they can have a wee holiday while also feeling like they are making a difference. The later also has the brass neck to ask for free accomodation and food, ontop of donations to cover flights since what they are doing "is so pivotal" by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 11th Oct 2021 1:17am)

Not that I know of, nowhere I have been has it. According to the map on their website it seems exclusive to Ireland the now. https://www.guinness.com/en-ie/our-beers/guinness-0.0/ by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 18th Oct 2021 2:46pm)

I was at a gig there a few weeks back and it was bad lots of sound issues, you couldn't here a word the the first group sang or said and then the actual people group I went to see the mixing was bad and would get louder and quieter through the speakers during the song. Lots of people are involved with sound and they might just have had a bad night and I've only been once so listen to what others say as well. Unrelated to sound their bar never had any drinks on draught (during the CO2 shortage so fair enough) got a can for £4.50 when I first went in, but after that there was no chance of getting a drink, the que was to long and if you tried waiting for it you would have missed most of both groups by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 18th Oct 2021 6:59pm)

I don't think defending our public transport by comparing it to that of East coast US (a place famed for having next to no public transport) is the argument you want it to be. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 21st Oct 2021 12:45am)

If you've got a band here are two options I can think of Ivory blacks have gigs with small or local groups, saw a few metal gigs there, usually there are a few local groups playing during these events https://m.facebook.com › ivoryblac... Ivory Blacks Local Shows - Home | Facebook Been getting adverts for some musicians that set up a business called songplastic that has been organising gigs, they have been getting a good turnout apparently, you could try contacting them as well? https://www.facebook.com/songplistic/ by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 24th Oct 2021 2:03am)

Depends on how much you would benefit from an additional £6,000+ in your bank doesn't it If it would make a big difference then pretty stupid If it wouldn't really then nice by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 25th Oct 2021 3:08pm)

"lib-dems can't do much of anything" Looks at the islands, the work they do and why they always get voted in there. Compared to the Glasgow council there's nothing they can't do by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 26th Oct 2021 10:40am)

Aye like the other guy said current prices are due to cop and delegates being able to pay mad amounts, prices should drop after November. In the meantime there is people trying to secure cheap/free accommodation for activists that can't afford it (the homestay network or something can't remember sorry) you might be able to get something temporary for November through that but it might literary be someone's couch you would be sleeping on by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 28th Oct 2021 4:22pm)

Why would he care what some curtain twitchers think? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 31st Oct 2021 7:16pm)

I've owned a few dogs and alway put the work in with them so they aren't scared by fireworks. Obviously I feel bad for pets with poor owners that let them get terrified but that's not a reason to put restrictions on everyone else's life because of some poor owners by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 31st Oct 2021 9:50pm)

Damn It must be awful living in the city for them then, cars backfiring, sirens random bangs etc. But I get it because you don't like something the vast majority shouldnt be allowed to either by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 31st Oct 2021 10:20pm)

"The vast majority" i.e the group that cared enough to respond to a government consultation (a very small section of the public) If the actual vast majority didn't want personal sale of fireworks then there wouldn't be the sale of personal fireworks since the vast majority wouldn't buy them and it wouldn't be profitable by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 1st Nov 2021 12:29am)

A guy was crowdsurfing at a gig and lost a shoe, he then took to Reddit saying how his whole year had been ruined and calling everyone cunts and telling people to kill themselves (all now deleted). So now he's the joke of the week e.g "walk a mile in his **shoe**" by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 29th Nov 2021 2:55pm)

Are you describing yourself with that first part? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 6th Dec 2021 4:04pm)

Don't tend to find many Gaelic speakers in general by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 12th Dec 2021 2:26pm)

I mean it's not just London the fucking county of Cumbria has it, it's rural as fuck the biggest city is carlisle I think. If it can be implemented there it can be implemented in Glasgow Edit: come to think of it so does Newcastle and most English city's I've been to. I'm even more annoyed Glasgow doesn't have it now. Does anywhere in Scotland have tap and pay? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 8th Jan 2022 1:28am)

Threating his staff by telling them they could find work elsewhere during lockdown if they wanted and be guaranteed their job back when lockdown was over? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 16th Sep 2022 8:47am)

No? Please do enlighten us then To my knowledge what I said is true. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 16th Sep 2022 3:28pm)

Don't know about that but all the big papers and most major rags have issued retractions and apologies, if it was true I don't think they would have. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 16th Sep 2022 5:07pm)

Decathlon or the sports direct in argyle Street on the top floor by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 23rd Sep 2022 6:09pm)

I'm not sure how recently you moved here but that's wrong. Public schools are the free schools provided by the government. You're right about it being a comprehensive school since all public schools are comprehensive schools by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 25th Oct 2022 8:32pm)

I used to not understand people like this but then there was a time post lockdown that certain people on here were furious that others were allowed to go outside and enjoy themselves by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 5th Nov 2022 10:48pm)

As someone who's been to London I can confirm you are talking shite. Also you say "the city itself is all claustrophobic and dark." Are you sure you aren't getting Glasgow and London mixed up? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 10:51am)

It's the people in the city centre they don't need public transport by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 24th Nov 2022 2:39pm)

The only shop that's doing well on Sauchiehall St is the one that sells the closing down signs, My anecdotal experience is Glasgow is the closest to death out of all the city centres I have been to. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 24th Nov 2022 2:46pm)

Are they broken? I remember hearing years ago that the council was going to start keeping some street lights off to save money by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 1st Dec 2022 10:18pm)

It's a way for corporations to save money at our expense and used some clever branding to make people welcome it by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 24th Dec 2022 10:24am)

You might get lucky getting a single person flat, it's very competitive Just in case you can't find a single person flat It might be a good idea to use spareroon or a similar app to find a room in a shared accomodation by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 12:23am)

The thing that surprised me most about London was the lack of street art, graffiti, and murals and I thought they were worse off for it. I always like going to city's and following their graffiti trail by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 5th Jan 2023 5:38pm)

I don't know how much you know or how much you can say but is it large chains approaching you? I would expect it's the small and family owned business that will be closing down first with larger chains trying to capitalise on the loss of competition and expand by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 10th Jan 2023 2:45pm)

So I get the 267 and it has stopped showing up, the live times that it will arrive at the bus stop are still correct though. What I have noticed is that when the 267 shows up the paint job is wrong, it's either the yellow 75 or gold for the x18 that shows up. I wonder if the tracker still thinks it's a 75, X18 and that's why it's not showing up when you search where the 267 is on its route. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Tue 10th Jan 2023 3:49pm)

I'm a bit late but personally I would like the snarky flairs changed e.g "whats trip advisor" when someone has asked a question. A locals opinion is better than whatever places the algorithm is currently promoting. smaller and locally owned businesses are more likely to be said by someone commenting on this sub and personally Ive found more than a few places I've liked by looking through those friends The flair just seems needlessly passive aggressive. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 13th Jan 2023 6:45pm)

The guys clearly asking for help, for inspiration. It was an open ended question "Yes there's more to Glasgow than just smoking a few joints, you could try x, y, z. It's sad the number of people that are being snarky or downvoting the guy just because they realised their life could be better are trying to improve their situation. A wee bit of empathy would make the world so much better. The problem is u/ChildTakerr your interests are just that yours, other people can't give you then you need to find them yourself.

I'm not sure I believe it but I've heard others make the same argument. That humans require the struggle.

Uni is extensive education, that's 2 extra years at highschool and 4 years at uni. But even if you disagree with that teachers don't just need a degree you need a postgraduate education (I know some primary school teachers get in with just a BA) Healthcare is such a wide net it's pointless arguing over it, sure the cleaner doesn't need a degree the surgeon does. As for train driver that's the most middle class job out the three.

Literally my point who can a child know their sexuality, it's at puberty when that quicks in People assuming a prepubescent kid will be straight (because statistically they will be) is different from the kid knowing From these comments though apparently LGBT+ children are special and don't need puberty but know since they are toddlers (apparently) As for mental illness it was op that mentioned neurodivergence, the only time mental illness has been brought up is in your comment I think by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 12th Jul 2023 3:11pm)

I was talking about the age thing the overwhelming answer seems to be that queer children know their sexuality when they are in nursery You are getting hung up with the neurodivergence and queerness, the link is well known. I would almost be more shocked if you weren't (a bit of hyperbole) Do you deny that people with autism can struggle fitting in and making friends? >And yeah, queer people are literally FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS, and part of why we have to do that is because attitudes like yours still exist.

I could but it is quicker and easier to ask people directly. Of someone was exhausted they could just not answer it If I googled it I doubt I would have got the answer of 3-6 for LGBT people and 9-13 for straight people, that really did suprise me The thing is you didn't have to "fight" you chose to you went out of your way to try and make an enemy out of someone trying to learn by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 12th Jul 2023 4:57pm)

That's a hell of a lot of projection and assumptions Here's the thing you didn't "call me out for ignorant thinking" you did the opposite you were looking for a fight because I actively sought education and asked questions You actively encourage ignorance, and going out your way to avoid reducing ignorance You care about the fight, if you cared about rights you would have educated not attacked and tried and make an enemy by Brinsig_the_lesser (Wed 12th Jul 2023 7:16pm)

While there's definite demand for housing I don't see the appeal of the city centre now that everything is getting demolished. People work from home so no need to be in the city centre People go shopping online so no need to be in the city centre It only really leaves socialising in the city centre, so overpriced pints and a lot of the activities you can easily get public transport or there will be a similar thing closer to you. Houses cost more and you get less in the city centre Living in the city centre seems hellish to me, small compact flats with people on every side of you, can't open your window because of pollution or noise at night, a lack of greenspaces etc I'm sure there are positives but I just can't see it.

I've read your comment several times and can't see any positives. The only reason I saw was "people are desperate" and "public transport isn't going to improve" People are desperate so they will pay more for less and as a consequence everything will cost them more for the duration they live in the city centre.

What about if the journey ends in a different zone? Would they then increase the cap to the price of a full network weekly ticket? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 1st Sep 2023 3:16pm)

>all universities are good universities. this old idea of "good" nornally just means snobby This isn't true some unis are better than others and some are just crap. Which uni you go to can have a massive effect on your future, especially your early career. A good uni can have more industry links and you will have got yourself a job before you even graduate. Aim as high as you can go op, don't settle just because they will take you Not all unis are good and they are definitely not all good at every subject >don't be instantly put off though even with grades below entry sometimes you will get an entry interview This is partially true, talk to the individual uni about it before applying. It will depend on how popular a course is. You might be wasting your UCAS option, you might not be, only the uni can tell you. For instance Glasgow uni law has significantly more applicants than they have spaces, so they don't even read your personal statement never mind an interview, if your grades are below the requirement they will immediately reject you. >always a good idea to have multiple options lines This is absolute true, don't put your eggs all in one basket by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 1st Sep 2023 7:19pm)

Like others have said it's far from the end of the world and you still have this year And you might qualify for adjusted entry through a diversity target/poor area entry requirements adjustment The big thing is figuring out what you want to do/study at uni by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 1st Sep 2023 8:06pm)

Op has a Railcard and didn't know it provides a discount after 10am by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 27th Oct 2023 3:01pm)

Source please While I'm not surprised at there being a lot of curtain twitchers I'm still sceptical of it being that high Of course anyone that's ever actually been to a country where fireworks are banned will be aware that banning them does nothing by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 28th Oct 2023 2:26am)

Fair enough Though I will admit I'm pretty skeptical of an online quiz only completed by 1,000 people by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 28th Oct 2023 11:31am)

That one has completely different results. Your two links disagree with each other proving my point about them being unreliable. Despite the issues with the 1st one caused by poor sample size and data gathering methods, the 2nd one is worse. The 2nd was a consultation, you need to ask yourself who would take the time to fill it in? Only people that are passionate about the issue. That was shared on the local Facebook busybody pages and amongst similar groups. (As evidenced by the results) Normal people wouldn't have even have known the consultation was going on All that consultation shows is the views of less than 0.3% of the population who have enough time to fill in a long boring multipage from. I don't think anyone seriously believes that 93% of people think fireworks should be outright banned by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 28th Oct 2023 12:00pm)

As much as I criticise the council I'm glad they have a little more sense than this simplistic take I'm thankful Glasgow exists so that they help find public parks and services for poor families to enjoy by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 30th Oct 2023 12:30pm)

Manchester is a significantly cheaper airport to fly from, it's also generally faster having more direct flights than Glasgow. Many Glasgow flights involve a layover in London unfortunately. I've travelled down to Manchester for a flight more than once by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 30th Oct 2023 7:26pm)

Manchester is much larger than Glasgow I've heard Glasgow described as a smaller Manchester Manchester is significantly more diverse than Glasgow It's got a lot more varied foods than Glasgow It's got a great music scene Great nightlife It's easier to travel around the UK from Manchester International travel is easier and cheaper from Manchester Glasgow is probably friendlier (so I have been told from international people) We also have a decent music scene as well by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 30th Oct 2023 7:31pm)

That's not true at all, the tenements are built on solid foundations to a proven quality Newbuilds in contrast are built with unreliable unproven materials. There's a reason banks require a larger deposit for new builds than your old tenament, that new build could become a worthless wreck within a few years. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 2nd Nov 2023 8:30pm)

What's the harm? If the street was being blocked off you would have a point but no one's way was blocked No one was inconvenienced, the majority of the street was free to pass by And based on the picture plenty of the passers by wanted to watch What's the harm with a little bit of entertainment while people are in town? by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 5th Nov 2023 11:36pm)

Catch yourself on I could show you pictures of an Israeli and a Palestinian, you wouldn't be able to tell me which was which because they both come from the same region A good chunk of the Israeli population is made up of refugees who had to flee from their homes in the surrounding Muslim nations because they would be murdered of they stayed by Brinsig_the_lesser (Mon 6th Nov 2023 2:59pm)

I have good news for you, you can still buy a ticket for the night bus, they don't bar you from getting on. I agree it is a bit of a piss take though, if you can afford to go out clubbing you can afford a bus ticket as well. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Nov 2023 11:36am)

Privilege isn't a linear scale, you can be disadvantaged in some ways and privileged in others Even you must admit you have an entitled attitude. Oppossum pretty much said it but I'll say it clearer You do have the ability to go out clubbing but because you aren't getting it completely paid for you feel wronged. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Nov 2023 5:11pm)

When you say murdering you mean killing the people who declared war on Israel with the goal of murdering all Israelis And when you say displacing you mean not letting the Palestinians move back after their attempt to murder all the Israelis failed. Before the war many Palestinians fled so it was only Israelis that remained, understandably the Israelis were upset at purposefully being left to die and never let the people that abandoned them move back as of nothing happened by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Nov 2023 10:48pm)

No people will get bored and stop History has taught us that. Once the news stops covering it people will forget it's happening just as they ignored it before last month by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Nov 2023 10:57pm)

Everyone at the march is turning a blind eye and ignoring the issues. They just unfortunately can't at the moment because of the news showing it at the moment The past 10 years has shown that once the news stops shoving it in peoples faces, people will forget and turn a blind eye again just as they were doing before last month. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sat 11th Nov 2023 11:15pm)

People take affordable homes of the market. This landlord is doing more than most to combat the housing shortage Seeing they are apparently housing someone in a living room by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 19th Nov 2023 5:43pm)

If they were being altruistic I doubt they would house people so efficiently and the overall situation would be much worse At the end of the day people need to start being honest about the cause of the issue not enough housing being built and more and more people are trying to stay in Glasgow by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 19th Nov 2023 6:43pm)

Would you pay £1300 for that? No, the only people paying that are people from outside Glasgow that don't know any better. Landlords charging high rents discourages people from moving to Glasgow, reducing pressure on housing At some point people need to be honest and admit the problem is that not enough houses are getting built. If the only thing that changed was getting rid of landlords like that then the situation would be much worse by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 19th Nov 2023 10:31pm)

No harm getting clarification, anyone could just ignore your message Though fair warning we could be equally uninformed by Brinsig_the_lesser (Thu 23rd Nov 2023 6:58pm)

And just when I thought Glasgow Reddit users could be any worse you comment Everyone is at different stages in life and we all encountered something for the first time once. OP did the right thing they were unsure and got clarification, unfortunately you decided to be a cunt for no reason though. I shouldn't be surprised I suppose, reddit isn't known for having well adjusted, socially competent people on it by Brinsig_the_lesser (Fri 24th Nov 2023 11:41pm)

I would say it's worth it, it costs £30 and has paid for itself multiple times over. One or two intercity trips and it has often paid for itself. There are some caveats to it though, it's goal is to encourage lessiure commuting, so it doesn't really work before 10am on weekdays for trips within the city. On weekdays before 10am the most it will discount a ticket/trip to is £12. After 10am or on the weekends it will discount any ticket price. I also don't think it works on the Glasgow subway, though I think it does on the London underground. As for ScotRail season tickets I believe it's currently cheaper just to buy an off-peak ticket each day rather than a season ticket, you check the maths in that yourself. The Glasgow subway does a smart card which is slightly cheaper than a regular ticket. by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 26th Nov 2023 9:45am)

It still won't work before 10am, regardless of if the ticket is peak or off-peak. Before 10am it will subside (or raise) a journey within a city to £12 Justification used to be that it was to encourage leisure trips via the train not to subside commuters by Brinsig_the_lesser (Sun 26th Nov 2023 11:30am)
