  • Feel sorry for the 2 guys that left ibrox at 2 nil down last night by IssAMeeMario (Fri 21st Feb 2020 8:33am)
  • Aye, a lot more than 2 left.. Meant to word my comment as 2 guys in front of me. Tbf Rangers were pish up to that point, and it looked like it would get worse, but don't leave with 30mins to go in a European knockout first leg. by IssAMeeMario (Fri 21st Feb 2020 1:21pm)

  • South Lan - 375.3 per 100k North Lan - 335.1 Glasgow City - 308.5 According to the [BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-54697094) No looking good for Glasgow either! by IssAMeeMario (Tue 27th Oct 2020 1:07pm)
  • Looks like the link and graphic have been updated since I posted, now sitting at: \- North Lan: 388.4 \- South Lan: 341.6 \- Glasgow: 322.1 There's no chance Lanarkshire will be tier 4 and Glasgow will be tier 3 - Pish! by IssAMeeMario (Tue 27th Oct 2020 5:38pm)
  • How is Zwift? I got a road bike just before the summer and have been loving cycling this year and now in 2 minds whether to get a turbo trainer for the winter. I use Strava, and seen that you can integrate with that and do segments etc. by IssAMeeMario (Wed 11th Nov 2020 10:26am)
  • Aye my mileage has dropped off massively the last few weeks, went out on Saturday and it was baltic. Wasn't fun. Do you have one of the direct-drive trainers or a wheel on one? It does look a good investment for Sep-Mar if you get a few years out of one. by IssAMeeMario (Wed 11th Nov 2020 12:28pm)
  • Song of the Euros 2021 by IssAMeeMario (Fri 13th Nov 2020 11:48am)
  • Had a similar day - bought one of those PerfectDraft machines last week, so got a nice pint Spaten Oktoberfest waiting for me to finish by IssAMeeMario (Thu 26th Nov 2020 4:46pm)
  • Aye it's been great so far - seen there was a deal on the bundles at Beerhawk so decided to go for it. Loads of German and Belgian beers/lagers for it so will be good trying them. Something different about having a freezing cold pint that you don't get from a bottle or can - means I'm having random Monday pints mind you. by IssAMeeMario (Thu 26th Nov 2020 5:10pm)
  • I thought the council was skint because of [this](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-51403116#:~:text=Glasgow%20City%20Council%20has%20settled,cost%20%C2%A3505m%20to%20settle) by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Dec 2020 9:38am)
  • Needs a dark mode toggle. by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Dec 2020 9:41am)
  • Just to be clear, I'm not saying they shouldn't be paying their employees a fair wage, they absolutely should. My point is that due to the backdated claims they've had to pay out, that news story claims £0.5 billion, the council are skint. by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Dec 2020 9:57am)
  • The most burst I've been in months.. Today's Marcothon 5k will be a struggle I tell ye by IssAMeeMario (Thu 24th Dec 2020 11:23am)
  • 2 posts on the sub - "Glasgow voted the world's friendliest city in Rough Guides survey" and right under it, "Half of BAME students harassed at Glasgow University, report shows" Surely can't be both 🤷🏼‍♂️ by IssAMeeMario (Fri 19th Feb 2021 9:22am)

  • Any recommendations for a place that can fix a chip on an alloy before I sell my car? Southside, if possible by IssAMeeMario (Mon 1st Mar 2021 10:18am)
  • Cheers - walking distance from where I am so perfect for dropping the car off by IssAMeeMario (Mon 1st Mar 2021 11:57am)
  • Anyone got a recommendation for a tiler to do a bathroom floor? Had a tiler cancel on me who was meant to do it tomorrow by IssAMeeMario (Fri 16th Apr 2021 4:46pm)

  • Did the same before work and got absolutely fucking drenched by IssAMeeMario (Wed 12th May 2021 9:54am)
  • Went for my first Guinness this year since I've got an early finish. Glorious! While the perfect draft pints are good, canny beat a freezing cold Guinness being served to you by IssAMeeMario (Fri 14th May 2021 2:38pm)
  • I do like the extra cold, was clammy earlier when I got them.. Perfect! by IssAMeeMario (Fri 14th May 2021 3:35pm)
  • Surely the only measures that should be used now in determining further restrictions are hospital admission rates and/or deaths? by IssAMeeMario (Fri 14th May 2021 5:17pm)
  • Exactly. I thought the point of the vaccine was to stop serious illness and death. The fact that it prevented transmission was a byproduct by IssAMeeMario (Fri 14th May 2021 5:46pm)
  • Must've also had a 2 month incubation time 😂 by IssAMeeMario (Sat 15th May 2021 5:31pm)
  • I stay in G41 - Filled out my details via the link below, got a text back in 10 mins with a vaccine date in 2 weeks time. [https://invitations.vacs.nhs.scot/?fbclid=IwAR0cWQoNvp6z5e0I2VE0FMmdtYL-ppSc6N3rBCU9Dv0SzlOwAvxRKgMPTI8](https://invitations.vacs.nhs.scot/?fbclid=IwAR0cWQoNvp6z5e0I2VE0FMmdtYL-ppSc6N3rBCU9Dv0SzlOwAvxRKgMPTI8) by IssAMeeMario (Mon 17th May 2021 10:20am)
  • I've got a genuine question on everything that's going on: Given that the vaccination isn't mandatory and we've seen a few areas with a low uptake rate, what happens if the only people who are getting seriously ill/dying are anti-vaxxers? Are the rest of us going to be continually put under restrictions? by IssAMeeMario (Tue 18th May 2021 8:59am)
  • Aye that's fair, I don't think it should be mandatory tbh, the point I'm more getting at is are the rest of us going to be under restrictions (*punished?*) due to the actions of the few that don't want to be vaccinated by IssAMeeMario (Tue 18th May 2021 9:58am)
  • It's a total slap in the face - what a lot of fucking shite. I agree that it makes sense to keep Glasgow in Level 3 if the criteria is 50/100k for level 2, but East Ren having a higher rate than Glasgow (and climbing) and not moving to level 3 is bullshit by IssAMeeMario (Fri 21st May 2021 12:49pm)
  • Like [this](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114474/mediaviewer/rm1893628928/?context=default)? .. by IssAMeeMario (Thu 27th May 2021 1:46pm)
  • Turned 30 this year, got a baby on the way and somehow I've started enjoying wearing lycra when out cycling.. Is this middle age? by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Jun 2021 7:41am)
  • I do spend a lot of time looking up expensive bikes tbf.. by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Jun 2021 9:01am)
  • Does sound a good idea with no being able to get abroad for the foreseeable future. That's it, I'm getting one! by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Jun 2021 12:52pm)
  • Aye the pockets at the back justify the top and the padding in the shorts are nice and comfy. It's a win win! by IssAMeeMario (Fri 4th Jun 2021 1:54pm)
  • Aye it's class just sitting about in your boxers all week eh by IssAMeeMario (Fri 23rd Jul 2021 12:48pm)

  • Where you planning on cycling? Would love to do a bike-packing trip by IssAMeeMario (Wed 11th Aug 2021 11:15am)
  • Parkrun today, first time racing since January 2020.. Will be happy just to finish it 🥲 by IssAMeeMario (Sat 14th Aug 2021 8:50am)
  • Came 13th. Decent! by IssAMeeMario (Sat 14th Aug 2021 11:05am)
  • Yeah just as the others have said. They cater for all skill levels, you'll get the club runners posting good times at the front but I always feel parkrun is a more social event than a race. In terms of being busy, there was about 400 at the one I was yesterday (Pollok) but I've been at ones that have been under 100 in Glasgow. by IssAMeeMario (Sun 15th Aug 2021 9:28am)
  • 20.02 for me. Stopped on the final hill, shouldve pushed through for an under 20 finish.. Maybe next week! by IssAMeeMario (Sun 15th Aug 2021 9:30am)
  • Does anyone know how the Gorbals swimming pool is just now, as in do you need to book a lane, are the changing rooms open and is the sauna and steam room back open too? by IssAMeeMario (Fri 17th Sep 2021 10:15am)
  • Cheers for the reply, couldn't find any of the info on their website. I think I'll have a look into hotels with a pool and sauna/steam for the time being by IssAMeeMario (Fri 17th Sep 2021 12:22pm)
  • You got a route planned? by IssAMeeMario (Thu 23rd Sep 2021 9:00am)
  • Ah nice, well done on the first 100km!.. Always like to see new routes heading out from around Glasgow so I can try them myself.. Last one over 100k I did was up to Paisley, follow the cyclepath to Gourock then back through the regional park to Largs and head home. Good one to try when you're back in Glasgow. by IssAMeeMario (Thu 23rd Sep 2021 3:55pm)
  • Komoot is the best I've used.. Will show the breakdown of paved roads, gravel and off road sections of your route as well by IssAMeeMario (Wed 29th Sep 2021 5:54pm)
  • Canny please everybody it would seem 🥲 by IssAMeeMario (Mon 1st Nov 2021 7:20am)
  • I used Re:Place Windows to replace my tenement windows in the summer after seeing them do a few different flats in my street, hearing good reviews and their price was pretty much the same as the other 2 companies that quoted. 9 windows in total, came to just over 5k. Fitters left the place clean and tidy, and had everything finished in 2 days as they said they would so I would recommend them. Can feel the difference now with the cold weather coming in, hardly had the heating on compared to last year. by IssAMeeMario (Sun 28th Nov 2021 10:06am)
  • Went today to the mosque at 11.30, no queue at all by IssAMeeMario (Tue 21st Dec 2021 12:57pm)
  • Even if people were raging, it would've definitely been forgotten about by the following week. Used to overthink things like this until I realised no one actually gives a fuck by IssAMeeMario (Fri 24th Dec 2021 10:27am)
  • The fear of going back to work on Wednesday after 6 weeks off after the arrival of my wee girl is starting to set in.. Absolutely bricking it. by IssAMeeMario (Mon 3rd Jan 2022 9:59am)
  • Any recommendations on places that do ear-syringing, preferably Southside? Can barely hear out of my right ear and ear-drops are doing nothing. by IssAMeeMario (Thu 13th Jan 2022 9:43am)
  • I saw Arcade Fire in here when they were touring as The Reflektors - They asked people to dress up for it, some night! by IssAMeeMario (Thu 17th Feb 2022 10:25am)

  • Will this mean last trains will be extended a bit later as well at the weekend? by IssAMeeMario (Sun 5th Nov 2023 9:55am)
