  • Climate change is actually going to be good for Glasgow. by cubemackie (Wed 24th Apr 2019 6:11am)
  • Anyone else think the magic of the cone has been ruined since the council became hip to the idea and stopped removing it? The whole beauty of it was exactly because they kept removing it and it was always replaced. Now it just feels like when some corporation takes on a social cause because its fashionable. by cubemackie (Fri 26th Apr 2019 11:15am)
  • I've always liked Max's. Not sure how big your party is but if it's less than 10 you should get a table. by cubemackie (Thu 9th May 2019 11:49am)
  • I think theres an app for car shares. by cubemackie (Wed 5th Jun 2019 2:30pm)
  • I've heard that there are legal reasons why the council cant force through an oyster style system. I'll try find the article about it I read. by cubemackie (Mon 10th Jun 2019 7:42pm)
  • As already said the reason these places exist is because a legal alternative is not offered. by cubemackie (Sun 23rd Jun 2019 7:22pm)
  • Don't worry, once you get above 35 you'll be suitably jaded enough by life not to enjoy theme parks anymore. by cubemackie (Sat 29th Jun 2019 10:09am)
  • Asos is decent. You can order a whole bunch of stuff and return any you don't want for free. by cubemackie (Sat 20th Jul 2019 7:07am)
  • Anyone else irritated by this poster as if the cat is posting it? That shit winds me up. Like those fucking innocent smoothies where it's made to look like the fruit is talking to you. Fuck right off. by cubemackie (Sat 27th Jul 2019 11:55pm)
  • Because they've got to deal with the public, a lot of who are probably taking the piss and are a drain on the surgery. by cubemackie (Sat 3rd Aug 2019 10:52am)
  • Watched one of those consumer type shows a while back and they reckoned there wasn't much difference between all toothpastes. What you eat is much more important so don't go wasting your money. by cubemackie (Sun 4th Aug 2019 7:35pm)

  • Is it just me that thinks Scotland is due a bit of climate change? Bring on the decent summers. by cubemackie (Mon 19th Aug 2019 3:25pm)
  • Lots of rainy days is standard. I grew up in Greenock, it pishes it down about 75% of the time all year round. by cubemackie (Mon 19th Aug 2019 4:54pm)
  • I'm honestly not joking. I love scotland but the weather is the worst part, especially in the west coast. I'm actually living in london at the moment, absolutely hate the place. Only good thing about it is the weather. As for wildlife and plants, true, but people should be having less kids. I'm having one child only, I'll probably contribute more to reducing climate change just by doing that compared to any outwardly eco friendly hypocrite with 2 or more kids. by cubemackie (Mon 19th Aug 2019 4:53pm)
  • Should have lamped the cunt when he put his hands on you. by cubemackie (Sun 29th Sep 2019 4:54pm)
  • I'm sorry but I totally disagree with this. I've been in London for the last 7 years and there is far less rain in London compared to Glasgow. Glasgow is the superior city though, and I'm moving back next year. by cubemackie (Sun 15th Dec 2019 4:20pm)
  • Ah sorry mate, I suck at reading. by cubemackie (Sun 15th Dec 2019 5:28pm)

  • Fairy sure there's a requirement for them to do so many hours a week/month promoting the religion, which is why they're always there. by cubemackie (Mon 24th Feb 2020 9:52pm)

  • What are you into? Check out [meetup.com](https://meetup.com), lots of groups who regularly meet up who focus on specific interests. by cubemackie (Mon 20th Apr 2020 9:58am)
  • You're 18 and going to uni. Just talk to everyone you meet and you'll be knee deep in fanny and have hunners of mates in no time. by cubemackie (Fri 1st May 2020 9:51pm)
  • Agree. I've just moved back to glasgow after 7 years in london. The litter is just as big a problem there, if not worse. Depends on the area of course. by cubemackie (Sat 16th May 2020 10:59pm)
  • It's also a city problem, glasgow is the biggest Scottish city, therefore the litter is at its worst there. by cubemackie (Sat 16th May 2020 11:00pm)

  • Southside is great, mount Florida/battlefield are great. by cubemackie (Wed 20th May 2020 4:53am)
  • One factor to remember in London is getting to Euston for the train in the first place. This involves getting on the tube in most cases, which is probably impossible with 6 cases between 2 people. by cubemackie (Wed 20th May 2020 3:02pm)
  • Youd be better using a hire van, they're not very expensive, I just moved from London to Glasgow on April 30th. Moving home is a valid enough reason for van hire right now. by cubemackie (Wed 20th May 2020 3:01pm)
  • Yeah we just got somewhere based on a virtual viewing, letting agent uploaded a video tour of the flat on youtube. by cubemackie (Wed 20th May 2020 3:55pm)
  • Bishopton has a fast train every hour to glasgow that takes 15 mins, and is also close to drive into glasgow. It's also on the gourock line which goes into greenock and greenock is about a 15 min car ride in the opposite direction. It's also very close to the Erskine bridge so you can drive into the west highlands very easily. by cubemackie (Wed 20th May 2020 7:31pm)
  • Irn Bru extra is the closest tasting thing to the old stuff imo. by cubemackie (Wed 27th May 2020 1:55pm)
  • Is that limited edition? My comment was meant in the context of regularly available versions. by cubemackie (Wed 27th May 2020 6:49pm)

  • Is it open? by cubemackie (Fri 12th Jun 2020 7:24pm)
  • I'd be pretty upset if they decide to go after street names. The men these streets are named after may have done terrible things but many generations after them and the ones alive today may hold those names dear to them for many other reasons. How many people have great memories from their youth ignited at the mention of the name Buchanan Street? by cubemackie (Fri 12th Jun 2020 8:04pm)
  • I just thought having a ltd would be simpler if I wanted to use any of the money earned against expenses or to invest in a SIPP for tax reasons. Unsure if it's as simple to do as an individual, guess I'll get some advice from an accountant. by cubemackie (Thu 18th Jun 2020 6:35pm)
  • Another scalp for the online political orthodoxy. by cubemackie (Fri 19th Jun 2020 6:48pm)
  • You're all such miserable bastards. They're young, they've been locked up for months, the weather is great and they want to enjoy themselves. Simmer doon. by cubemackie (Thu 25th Jun 2020 8:48pm)
  • And it's the same everywhere, people make out that Glasgow has a particularly big problem with litter, but every city has the same problem. by cubemackie (Fri 26th Jun 2020 1:29pm)
  • Sounds like a few subreddits I could mention. by cubemackie (Fri 26th Jun 2020 2:37pm)
  • Never really thought about this, but totally agree, having just moved back to Glasgow from London it's amazing how little space is being utilised. There are big areas near the river that badly need developed. Tradeston especially is a great location with the subway nearby but most of it is empty or rundown. And a drive through the Gorbals is the same. by cubemackie (Sun 28th Jun 2020 8:25pm)
  • Personally I think the requirement for masks is overblown. If you're concerned then wear one but there is definitely an air of many people having the fear deeply injected into them. We've got infection rates close to 0 in scotland without mandatory masks, many aspects of the economy have been opened up without a spike in infections. Sensible hand washing and social distancing is enough to limit the spread. In my opinion a mandatory mask order would only serve the interest of the surprisingly large number of busy bodies who have come out of the wood work to complain about and judge other people. by cubemackie (Tue 30th Jun 2020 10:56pm)
  • Just because there are bad dog owners should not mean you tell everyone to keep their dog on a lead at all times. My dog gets ten times as much exercise and walking in the park is a much more enjoyable experience for both of us if he isn't tethered a few feet away from me at all times. When I see dogs on the lead it more often than not signals to me that the dog is poorly trained, not that the owner is responsible. A well trained dog doesn't need to be on a lead, there are plenty of morons who own on-the-lead dogs also, and the dogs behave as such. Feel free to keep your dog on a lead, safe in the knowledge that you are superior and more responsible than me, I'll let my dog do what a dog wants to do - responsibly. by cubemackie (Wed 1st Jul 2020 1:29pm)
  • My dog keeps away from bigger dogs generally, he can spot a weirdo a mile off. by cubemackie (Wed 1st Jul 2020 1:43pm)
  • Since when was this arbitrary list from a redditor 'The Rules'? by cubemackie (Wed 1st Jul 2020 1:45pm)
  • Maybe I should just live in perpetual fear at all the minuscule hazards that present themselves as I go about my day. Better yet, never leave the house. by cubemackie (Wed 1st Jul 2020 1:56pm)
  • My dog doesnt interact with dogs unless said dog interacts with it. by cubemackie (Wed 1st Jul 2020 4:46pm)
  • They're giving them out free at central station, just walk in one entrance, grab one, then leave at another entrance. by cubemackie (Fri 10th Jul 2020 4:12pm)
  • Six by Nico do takeaway boxes. My friends had one and said it was great. by cubemackie (Fri 10th Jul 2020 7:44pm)
  • Most Asian corner shops in the Southside should sell decent chillis, especially round pollokshields. by cubemackie (Fri 10th Jul 2020 7:49pm)
  • Actually fucking sick of all these moralising cunts who post shit like this. by cubemackie (Sun 12th Jul 2020 5:50pm)
  • You'll enjoy living in Glasgow much, much more than Paisley. Glasgow is fairly small so don't restrict yourself to a specific area. If you are going to cycle you have a lot of options. I'd recommend you look for flat shares with other students, it'll encourage you to be more sociable and meet other people. by cubemackie (Tue 14th Jul 2020 5:41pm)
  • You're wrong about the virus dying out. This simply won't happen without a vaccine. by cubemackie (Sat 18th Jul 2020 4:34pm)
  • Oh can't wait for this to descend into the moralising group-think that many people seem so eager to lean into. by cubemackie (Sat 18th Jul 2020 4:35pm)
  • Depends on several factors. If you're 25 and have no health issues then you don't have anything to worry about. If you're a 65 year old smoker who goes home to their dementia suffering parents then maybe skip it. by cubemackie (Sun 19th Jul 2020 10:12am)
  • I think the roof of your mouth needs to have a word with itself. by cubemackie (Mon 20th Jul 2020 11:39am)

  • Get yourself back here. by cubemackie (Wed 22nd Jul 2020 9:59pm)
  • I moved to London and lived there for 7 years, really made me appreciate Glasgow, I moved back in April and am so glad to be back. by cubemackie (Wed 22nd Jul 2020 10:24pm)
  • What was it that happened that led you to believe this was racially motivated? Neds have been attacking people randomly in Glasgow for hundreds of years. by cubemackie (Thu 30th Jul 2020 9:59am)
  • Ah yes, Eid, where people celebrate a man's willingness to kill his son because he had a dream/heard a voice in his head. by cubemackie (Fri 31st Jul 2020 11:39am)
  • The authorities are completely toothless in this regard and don't give a fuck. The only thing an abusive person responds to is more aggressive abuse. by cubemackie (Fri 31st Jul 2020 11:49am)
  • It was Abraham, but all the 3 Abrahamic religions hold this horrific act in high regard. by cubemackie (Fri 31st Jul 2020 12:58pm)
  • I won't apologise for being unashamedly hostile to religion of any sort. by cubemackie (Fri 31st Jul 2020 6:05pm)

  • You'd have made a good inquisitor. by cubemackie (Sat 1st Aug 2020 3:44pm)
  • I'm confused, is this for Mastodon fans in Glasgow? by cubemackie (Thu 6th Aug 2020 12:17pm)
  • I rented a flat in Glasgow from London without seeing it in April, so it is possible. However if you're renting a room I can understand why people want to meet you first. by cubemackie (Thu 6th Aug 2020 3:47pm)
  • Strange you said this, I had a thought recently to go there to show my support for them because of covid. I will make sure I do now based on your story. by cubemackie (Fri 7th Aug 2020 2:22am)
  • Out of interest, what kind of car you got? by cubemackie (Wed 12th Aug 2020 5:32pm)
  • Unfortunately the fact that Mexico is next to the powerhouse of the world means there are very few Mexican immigrants anywhere else and I don’t see that changing. by cubemackie (Thu 13th Aug 2020 3:48pm)

  • Anyone that replaces tyres should align the wheels at the same time. by cubemackie (Thu 20th Aug 2020 11:28am)
  • Ah shit you might be right, my bad. by cubemackie (Thu 20th Aug 2020 12:33pm)
  • I think you might be getting a bit precious, I don't see what's so horrifying about seeing a cock and balls once in a while, and if you feel prudish about someone asking if you're a true Scotsman i think you need to calm down a bit, why not see the funny side, show a bit of confidence and laugh it off. And as for wearing a rented kilt, it has been dry cleaned prior to you wearing it, and unless you've got shite all over your arse and a stalactite of smeg hanging off your helmet I really wouldn't worry about it, but maybe some people's hygiene levels aren't all that up to scratch. by cubemackie (Fri 21st Aug 2020 2:05pm)
  • Disappointed that there's no mention of Clarkston. Cunts are absolutely feral there. by cubemackie (Fri 21st Aug 2020 11:45pm)
  • My niece is called Bogston. by cubemackie (Sun 23rd Aug 2020 12:29pm)
  • Nice, does anyone remember when there was a humpback whale in the Clyde? I think I was in p7 at the time so just have been around 1993. The Greenock Telegraph imaginatively named it 'Clydey' by cubemackie (Mon 24th Aug 2020 7:25am)

  • So you think in order to show they care about their staff they should give up the thing they probably spent their entire working life on? That's an insane statement. by cubemackie (Thu 8th Oct 2020 4:44pm)
  • Funny how many people are so instantly sneering and judgemental about a successful Glasgow based business who will obviously be struggling right now. I assume you'd rather live in some sort of planned economy where innovation is handed over to the state and any opportunity for enterprise and success is crushed? What the fuck does the fact the owner is a millionaire have to do with this story? Are you expecting the owner to pay their staff for doing nothing while pubs are closed and there is minimal government help? How long do you think a few million quid would last paying the amount of staff they have? I assume you think toiling away relentlessly in a cut throat industry should come with no other reward than a wage to cover basic essentials and a strong sense of public service? by cubemackie (Thu 8th Oct 2020 4:41pm)
  • All this e-mail says is they are running a logistical operation that aims to be ready in mid December, it says nothing about anyone having any knowledge that a vaccine will actually be ready by then. I really wish journalism was better than this. by cubemackie (Sun 1st Nov 2020 1:36pm)

  • A lot of management in a lot of companies are dicks, but for some reason hospitality staff love to shout loudest about it. by cubemackie (Wed 11th Nov 2020 1:39pm)
  • I've never known of a GP not answering the phone. Some have preferred times to phone them (like first thing in the morning). Check their website. Sending a letter may be a good shout also. by cubemackie (Thu 12th Nov 2020 9:37pm)

  • I work for Network Rail, depending on what your job at SPT is, you may not ever get randomly tested but if there is some sort of incident relating to safety (an accident or some sort of controversial event) then one of the first things they will do is drug and alcohol test everyone involved. by cubemackie (Tue 24th Nov 2020 7:19pm)
  • Don't bulb only have one variable tarrif that isn't fixed in price? Seems like they are prone to price volatility and you could end up losing out compared to fixing your prices for a set period. by cubemackie (Tue 24th Nov 2020 7:29pm)
  • Do you provide meter readings regularly? Are you on a fixed tariff? If you don't provide readings regularly they'll just make something up, and if you're on a variable tariff you need to shop around. It's incredibly simple to do and the law has been changed to make it easier for the consumer, you have to do nothing except choose your tariff on a comparison site. by cubemackie (Tue 24th Nov 2020 7:31pm)

  • Haven't done it in a flat but it's not much different in any building. I have installed insulation in my own home. You'd have to take up the floorboards and insulate in between the joists. Different insulation has different sound insulation properties, you can either go for mineral wool or insulation boards, the boards are more expensive but do a better job at sound and heat insulation. You can get special tools that make removing floorboards very easy. Then once done you can either put the original floorboards back on or buy chipboard and screw that onto the joists. Chipboard isn't that hard to install, it's just a case of cutting it to size (I did mine with a jigsaw) and gluing the joints with wood glue, and of course screwing them down onto the joists (you'd need a decent combi drill or impact driver). Reusing your floorboards is a lot cheaper obviously but chipboard isn't going to squeak if you fit it properly, I spent hours fixing all the squeaks on the floorboards of my 1930s house, but if you're not bothered by squeaking then no need to do this. You don't need huge amount of skills to do this and it's something that anyone can learn on the job. If you're wanting to insulate your ceiling also you'd either have to remove your ceiling and insulate above it and get it replastered or you could build a false ceiling underneath, that might be easier and less hassle if you have a high ceiling, which is likely in a tenement. Doing something like that sounds daunting but it's really not that complicated, but this is definitely a 2 man job if you intend to do it yourself. In terms of price, it's not really knowable because it depends on the size of your rooms and flat. If you do go down the cheaper road, you can get rolls of 200m mineral wool insulation in B&Q for £17 right now if you buy a minimum of three of them. by cubemackie (Thu 10th Dec 2020 11:10am)

  • Hello. If you need a conveyancing solicitor I highly recommend Carruthers Gemill on Bath Street. They handled my house purchase in 2020. I saw the name recommended here on Reddit and I don't regret it. They are a small office with a long history in Glasgow, whenever I phoned an actual person picked up. Never, ever, ever go with the conveyancers recommended to you by an estate agent or mortgage company. They are normally not even solicitors, and are normally a large company with shitty phone systems where it is impossible to pin anyone down. Also, Southside is great. Shawlands/Battlefield/Strathbungo/Cathcart are nice areas. We moved to Clarkston which is a bit further out but if it's a flat you're looking for I'd recommend those areas. by cubemackie (Mon 8th Feb 2021 12:33pm)

  • Our government has been completely inept in many ways, but Nicola Sturgeon's impressive presentation skills, coupled with the general defensive trauma of being ruled by English aristocrats for so long, means that many people in Scotland are incapable of admitting the incompetence of our government. So Nicola Sturgeon, in line with many politicians, simply shuts down sections of society because it looks like something decisive is being done, without any meaningful discussion of the knock-on effects doing this has. There has also been a worrying amount of people who simply swallow whatever bullshit is spoon-fed at them, while they fully embrace the opportunity to appear morally virtuous and superior to anyone who happens to have a contrarian view. There has also been a lack of personal responsibility on the part of people who, with over a year of evidence that shows being overweight and unhealthy is by far the most obvious risk factor, have done very little if anything to remove some of the contemptible amount of body fat they carry around with them. by cubemackie (Tue 18th May 2021 10:58am)

  • The pastries are dyno, they have a huge selection of spice mixes/pastes/jams that I struggle to find anywhere else, very good wine selection, their frozen ready meals are excellent, also their meat/fish selection is good. Some of it is expensive and I never do a full shop there because you'd be mental to tbh, but it has it's strengths. The one in Newton Mearns fucking stinks of BO when you walk in though, I think it's one of the staff, can't put my finger on it. by cubemackie (Wed 14th Jul 2021 11:26am)

  • They're all shite. We pre-booked one from Glas-go and it didn't show up, then when we phoned they said they couldn't tell us when one would be coming. So basically pre-booking is fucking pointless since they don't assign cars, they simply send out the request on the app and wait for someone to accept the job. by cubemackie (Mon 26th Jul 2021 5:19pm)

  • The translations are correct. My sense of his intent though is he is being a twat to a young child because A: it's in passing and there is little chance of confrontation. B: A child will be unlikely to say anything back to him. C: He's a wank. He's probably riled up about what seems like young peoples obsession with documenting everything. Also, Tyrell's are the best crisps on the market so if the jibe is directed towards the crisps this is yet more evidence that he is a fud. by cubemackie (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 10:06am)

  • Usual intellectual laziness from people willing to bash a business who acted entirely reasonably in a hard situation. So very easy to shout about the evil of enterprising companies and get a pat on the back from high school level ideologues. As the company statement said they asked staff to take unpaid leave until the furlough situation was decided. A minority decided not to and expected to get rehired on furlough when the scheme came through. There is a scenario in that situation where the company becomes insolvent by paying wages leaving no one with a job and the owners unable to start business again. I suppose it’s preferable that everyone goes down with the ship in the name of some perverted sense of fairness? by cubemackie (Sun 8th Aug 2021 2:25pm)

  • It seems to be a council thing. There seems to be no major litter clearing operations, where as in East Renfrewshire council things seem a lot cleaner, same in other adjoining council areas. I regularly access the railway around Clyde Place (south side of the bridge on Bridge Street). There is a bit of waste ground there with trees and grass mounds, just next to Babylon Cafe. The place is absolutely crawling with rats, you can see their little rat runs buried all over the mounds. And the amount of litter in this small area is horrifying, it's been like that for years and no-one ever clears it up. IF you're ever walking past there at night just stand for a few minutes across the street and watch the rats running about. by cubemackie (Sun 8th Aug 2021 9:51pm)

  • I'm sure this is a very reassuring sentiment for many people who want their cultural ego massaged but I don't agree with it. Being persistent and shouting the loudest is generally the most effective way of getting an organisation to listen. And cultural subtleties don't really exist if you are speaking to a corporation, they generally have a specific way of dealing with customers no matter where you are from. Contrary to popular belief the NHS is incredibly unreliable unless you happen to require immediate treatment. I know of two close family members currently whose details the NHS have lost completely, both of which could die from a heart attack/stroke. The only way they can get prioritised is if they go through the stressful and unnecessary effort of being a pain in the arse to whoever has to deal with them. It also took me several years to convince the NHS that I needed my shoulder operated on and even then it was only properly diagnosed and treated when they referred me to a private hospital. Many people unfortunately think the NHS will look after them, so they sit quietly and wait their turn. I shudder to think how many people die needlessly every year because it's such a shit-show. by cubemackie (Thu 19th Aug 2021 10:51am)

  • A quote from one of your picture taglines: "There are many people in this area that would help make this place better in their spare time but instead they rely on the powers that be that consistently let them down." And a quote from your reply on whether you stood the bin upright after taking your picture: "there is people out there who's job it is to look after this place, elected officials that shouldn't be letting stuff like this happen." You seem to be casting judgement in the first quote then show the same reasoning. Sound like a bit of a hypocrite. by cubemackie (Sat 21st Aug 2021 9:12pm)

  • I lived in Greenock for the first 30 years of my life. Completely depends where you're looking to buy. There's not really much to do in comparison to Glasgow if you like eating out/socialising, and the weather can be significantly worse than Glasgow (hard to believe right). It's a nice part of the country scenically, the west end/Gourock have some cracking big houses. Some parts are pretty rough though. by cubemackie (Mon 23rd Aug 2021 9:00pm)

When I was going clubbing regularly back around 2012ish you could regularly come up fruitless in your search for a drug dealer, or the guy you might use regularly didn't have supply.

  • You are right about them being paid more than other public sector workers, but this all comes down to having a decent union. The RMT secured pay rises in line with inflation post financial crisis, where as many other sectors were unable to and essentially had a real terms pay cut each year for 10 years after the GFC. This has resulted in RMT members appearing to be better off but the reality is they have just been keeping up with inflation. by cubemackie (Sun 3rd Oct 2021 6:50pm)

  • Good. I can imagine how their workload has increased in the last 10 years with budget cuts. Our government can find almost unlimited billions to deal with Covid and the roof didn't fall in. The lie that this money needs to be paid back has been exposed. Central banks inject tens of billions into the financial system every month to keep the show on the road but workers being paid under £30k a year can't demand a fair pay rise? Get yourself to fuck. The comments on this Glasgow Times article are depressingly predictable; "They should be lucky to have a job" etc etc. People have been completely conditioned to have a reactionary outlook. If you understand the financial system you'll understand why politics is so fucked right now. If you listen to the right people the inflation that is happening now was predicted immediately after the central bank response to March 2020. There is a lot more to come, so demand that pay rise and take your slice of the debt pie while you can. by cubemackie (Thu 14th Oct 2021 2:44pm)
  • There's a lot of debate about how inflationary QE itself is, but there was a whole load of other action taken by governments in response to covid as well as increasing QE also.

And we happen to be in the West Coast of Scotland, it's much windier than most other parts of the UK. The air quality in Glasgow is fantastic unless you're hanging around Hope Street at rush hour. The Kingston Bridge is a pain in the arse currently because of the structural defects or whatever is going on there, but normally even at rush hour it's totally tolerable. Live a few years in London with their air quality, zero wind and hellish driving conditions and you'll learn that Glasgow is totally fine. Apart from the fucking state of the roads of course, traffic lights at Shields Road anyone? Jesus fuck. by cubemackie (Thu 14th Oct 2021 11:26pm)

  • [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhAKMAcmJFg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhAKMAcmJFg) Interesting perspective on heat pumps. Many media sources are saying that with this newly announced subsidy in England for heat pumps, the cost of a gas boiler installation and a pump will now be comparable. And before someone complains about how this is England only and doesn't apply here then I'm sure our own government, who take every opportunity to express how righteously in favour they are in combatting the 'climate emergency', will probably roll out similar schemes here in future. The price comparison, however, isn't really accurate since it doesn't take into consideration other disruptive work required to install. Also imagine a bank of heat pumps running on the side of a tenement, it would be noisy. Also our air is much colder during the winter than even England. Not to mention most of our buildings aren't designed to be insulated to modern standards without creating new problems like damp. A heat pump is only efficient in a well insulated building, preferably with underfloor heating. These pumps also require separate electricity from the grid to 'top up' the heat generated by the pump, which means having a hot water cylinder inside your flat, and unless you want your shower running out of hot water after 10 minutes that means it has to be fairly large. Solar panels might help with this but that's another expense. The reality is we are absolutely kidding ourselves if we think we can shut down the use of fossil fuels in the space of a couple of decades. People really seem to underestimate how much we still depend on oil & gas, and also don't appreciate why we use oil & gas instead of other fuels. They are simply superior in so many ways, except of course that they create carbon. Unless we build another 10 nuclear power plants in the next decade (in the UK) we are living in a fantasy if we think renewables can pick up the slack. Governments seem to think they can just force change by cranking up the price of fossil fuels, however they don't seem to be envisioning any kind of secondary side effects to this, like, for example, people getting really fucked off. by cubemackie (Tue 19th Oct 2021 2:03pm)

  • It's been standard for a very long time to automatically add a service charge to tables above 6 or so. You can ask to get it removed though. Having lived in London I absolutely despised the automatic adding on of 12.5% everywhere. When I moved back to Glasgow I vowed to make sure I do my bit to make sure that shit doesn't become commonplace here. For that reason I always ask to get it removed. Also, any tip you pay via card is taxed before going to any of the employees if it's done through normal pay procedure. This means that 20% of whatever you tip goes to the taxman. So if you don't want to pay more tax by doing this, get it taken off and tip in cash only. by cubemackie (Mon 1st Nov 2021 4:00pm)

The culture in the UK regarding food is not like it is in Italy. Most people are terrible at cooking and we don’t have the same high quality traditional meals.

  • The difference is the media are obsessed with Ukraine and people just swallow what they're spoon fed. The coverage is very reductive and gives people simple reasons to get outraged. by cubemackie (Thu 3rd Mar 2022 2:06pm)
  • I've read plenty of articles and the only sense I get from them is that I know very little about Ukrainian/Russian politics and feel like I'm being presented with propaganda from establishment journalists who haven't tested the consensus narrative. by cubemackie (Thu 3rd Mar 2022 2:14pm)
  • This is a great example of most people's ability to only reference one period in history when something like this happens or a discussion about war happens on the internet. WW2, Hitler, the Holocaust and appeasement is all people know. by cubemackie (Thu 3rd Mar 2022 2:10pm)

  • You can beat these type of speed cameras by changing lanes. I used to drive up from London for many years and the M6 always had roadworks somewhere, used to drive 20mph+ past the speed limit and change lanes in between cameras, never had a ticket. by cubemackie (Mon 7th Mar 2022 10:03pm)
  • Lived in London for 7 years. Started off using the train/flying but ended up driving whenever I came back to Glasgow. As long as you leave early enough to avoid peak times in a London in the morning/afternoon it takes about the same time as trekking to Euston and getting the train. Plus you don’t have to drag a suitcase about. by cubemackie (Tue 8th Mar 2022 7:13am)

  • You should insulate under your floorboards but only because it will save you money on heating, with the added bonus of absorbing some noise. Then get a carpet with some decent underlay, insulating under the floorboards is a fairly big job but it’s rather simple and totally worth doing, it’s generally estimated to make about a 10% difference to heating costs. by cubemackie (Mon 14th Mar 2022 8:44am)

  • Normally it would be you that is given a gift, if at all. It is not universal though. You can continue to not interact with anyone or you can get to know your neighbours. I recommend you try the latter, not everyone will be immediately friendly but most people will be happy to speak to you. Good luck and all the best. Also, where you live will be a factor here, my experience is that the nicer the area the less chance you have of interacting with a volatile nutter. by cubemackie (Sat 26th Mar 2022 8:45am)

  • My recommendation, if you have a car, is to drive to Ingilston park and ride and get the tram. It involves driving most of the way but it takes a lot of the pain away from being inside Edinburgh, and it's easier on the pocket. by cubemackie (Tue 5th Apr 2022 11:50am)

  • I'd recommend you do this, estate agents are total scam artists and always try and pressure you into using their recommended solicitor (they get a commission if you follow their advice). Often it's not even a proper solicitor, but a conveyancing company, it's hard to get personal contact with someone. I've used both and a proper solicitor is always better. If you need a recommendation I used Carruthers Gemmil on Bath St (recommended by someone in this sub) in 2020 for a house purchase and they were great, and reasonably priced. by cubemackie (Mon 9th May 2022 5:00pm)
  • What the fuck is the point in this article? I have absolutely nothing against this lassie, but the headline says it's about how to save money but there really isn't any advice about saving money?!? It's just an explanation of the completely unexceptional set of circumstances that this one middle class woman lives. Baffling. by cubemackie (Mon 9th May 2022 10:03pm)

If you're going to use them don't visit the site multiple times before booking or delete your cookies to get the original price. by cubemackie (Sat 21st May 2022 7:05am)

It was probably mid 00s, around the time when they started doing those sexy food adverts. None of the competition came close to those snowballs, closest I can get to them now is Snowy Joeys but even they're not as good. by cubemackie (Tue 14th Jun 2022 5:18pm)

Any time I see them now, and it’s not very often, if you’re out for a drink, they will immediately be trying to find ching after the first drink when out. It’s dumb. Drug use has gone up after menus were being sent out on Snapchat etc. I can remember many a night trying to score some pills before going out dancing, many of them not successful.

  • The pollution will come from the road traffic more than the trains, the majority of the trains leaving Glasgow are electric. by cubemackie (Mon 11th Jul 2022 6:46pm)
  • Not replacing your windows because it won't increase your EPC rating is a strange way of thinking about something like that. My question would be; "are my windows out of date and do they need replaced?" Not; "there's no point replacing our windows because the EPC rating will not improve." If you want to improve your heating then lifting the floorboards and installing insulation is one thing you can do, if you have high ceilings you can also install a false ceiling and insulate this, although you're likely to lose the period plasterwork on the ceilings. A modern front door can make a fairly large difference, a lot of tenement doors are pretty old and drafty. There isn't too much you can do in tenements because of how they were built and because the walls can't be insulated as there is no cavity. by cubemackie (Tue 12th Jul 2022 2:46am)

  • If you tell the council where the litter is they do generally come and pick it up, there is an app for it. by cubemackie (Thu 21st Jul 2022 12:27pm)
  • A friendly reminder that Glasgow council has an app called My Glasgow where you can report the location of litter and they do actually pick it up, I use it regularly. The people who drop litter are obviously horrible, clatty cunts but if more people got into the habit of reporting it it would make a difference. The app is really easy to use, you can upload pictures and use your GPS to mark the precise location. by cubemackie (Thu 21st Jul 2022 12:26pm)

  • Most people who buy houses that price are couples, when you combine incomes you can generally afford something if you're both making around the average salary (31k a year) or higher and save up. Every post you see of someone talking about buying a house is likely to be after several years of saving or they've got lucky and have been given some money. When it comes to cars however it is obvious that many, many people in the UK are spending a large portion of their disposable income on a car. Leaseholds and PCP deals are pretty much the worst financial decision you can make at the moment, perpetual debt is not a good thing. by cubemackie (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 1:58pm)

I work on the railway, and I've spoken to conductors for Scotrail on training courses, there are parts of the railway where they are allowed to simply not collect tickets at certain times of the week because there have been attacks in the past.

Tomorrows strike is for ASLEF members, and affects drivers for train operating companies in England mostly. The RMT strikes in December are for maintenance and signalling grades of Network Rail.

  • I tend to fall on the Germaine Greer side of the debate, I really don’t understand the vitriol directed towards people like her. by cubemackie (Sun 5th Feb 2023 3:14pm)
  • It’s a fair one tbh, deep fried pizza is one of the most disgusting things going. Why would you deep fry bread? It’s horrible for the same reason that horrible English fried bread is horrible, it soaks up the oil. by cubemackie (Sun 5th Feb 2023 10:26pm)
  • We all worked out when we were about 16 that train tickets are clearly horrible for roach, or rather, horrible for you personally. Stick a lighter under one and see what happens. by cubemackie (Mon 6th Feb 2023 8:18am)

  • Jesus what is it with people in their early 20s thinking they are old? You're a fucking sprog mate, stop being such a narcissist, take a swedger and go into Subclub on any given Saturday. I had the best raving days of my life when I was in my late 20s (circa 2012), and I didn't give a single fuck about what age I or anyone around me was, although I did have a preference for looking at the arses of females below the age of 30. by cubemackie (Mon 6th Feb 2023 9:01pm)
  • Did you report it? by cubemackie (Tue 7th Feb 2023 7:58am)
  • One problem that you can have in large indoor areas like this, and I’ve encountered this is Pets at Home before, is that my dog will often take his cues from other dogs in this environment. I’ve had my dog, who never pisses inside, lift his leg while walking around Pets at Home because other dogs have done that in the past and he must be picking up on that and trying to mark his territory. I can imagine him doing the same thing inside a shopping centre. Since these big indoor areas don’t really feel like ‘inside’ in a normal sense, I think a lot of normally well behaved dogs can get confused. by cubemackie (Thu 9th Feb 2023 1:18pm)

  • There is no limit to what an Asian person will take a picture of. I remember being in the natural history museum in London, and there was this girl just walking around taking picture after picture of each individual display case. She wasn’t even looking at them, just walk, picture, walk picture, walk, picture. I just don’t get it. by cubemackie (Tue 14th Feb 2023 12:14pm)

  • Yes you should get double glazing. I assume you own the property if you're considering getting double glazing, in which case get yourself up in the attic and insulate that too, will make a massive difference to the heat situation in your flat. by cubemackie (Mon 6th Mar 2023 6:59pm)

  • Interesting aside: The article says the 13th Note is in Merchant City. Do you consider it to be in Merchant City? If not where would you place it? My assumption would be that Merchant City is on the other side of Trongate or across Argyle Street? by cubemackie (Tue 14th Mar 2023 11:47am)
