Glasgow and the rest of the UK are being forced by the conservative government to adhere to a policy of austerity ostensibly brought on by the global financial crisis of 2008. The cause of the crisis was the financial markets' exposure to bad debts, but somehow we're all paying for the bankers mistakes. by human_totem_pole (Mon 20th May 2019 11:59am)

Just across the river Cart from Pollock house once stood a village called Polloktoun. I think it's a golf course now. Word has it that the occupant of Pollok House considered Polloktoun to be an eyesore and had it demolished. by human_totem_pole (Mon 22nd Jul 2019 11:15am)

Do your neighbours have sheds or garages? Check there first then walk the local area shaking some treats and calling the cat's name. That's how I've always found my missing cats. Good luck! by human_totem_pole (Tue 23rd Jul 2019 11:08am)

I changed dentists for this reason. Was 5 minutes late once in 5 years and the miserable woman gave me some grief. They always made everyone sit for 20 minutes before the dentist would see you too. by human_totem_pole (Sat 3rd Aug 2019 11:02am)

If you can, set aside an hour on Sunday and try some cooking. It really is easy once you get the hang of it and you'll really enjoy it. I batch cook and freeze to save cooking through the week.

Looked at the SSPCA website and saw 2 cuties. Visited SSPCA in Cardonald and spent some time with cuties and asked to adopt them.

The worst arsehole dog owner incident I saw was in Kelvingrove Park last summer. There was a group of Muslim women sitting around a blanket having a picnic and this dog went running straight into their picnic and started eating whatever it could find. The women were screaming and kicking the dog and throwing things at it and the owner was just standing shouting with a really weak voice. What a prick. by human_totem_pole (Thu 2nd Jul 2020 12:24pm)

Another bit of trivia. Some of the The Braidbar quarries at Giffnock were mined using a 'stoop and room' system which left vast underground voids. After the quarries closed, the voids were filled with toxic waste from Dixon's Blazes and Beardmore's foundries. The whole lot is now filled with water and the tunnels are beginning to collapse. Some poor people around the quarry edge can't sell their homes. Some developers have offered to remediate the mines but no one has been able to commit to such a massively expensive project. It's a ticking time bomb. by human_totem_pole (Sat 15th Aug 2020 10:43am)

Not nowadays. Back in the housing bubble madness of 2006 maybe. Find a place you like. Speak to an estate agent and a local solicitors and get a feel for the asking price. Good luck 👍 by human_totem_pole (Sat 15th Aug 2020 7:47pm)

I've always wondered if there's anything left of the Giffnock quarries (other than a fucking big hole in the ground). The whole area is well fenced off and I'm not willing to rip ma breeks going over the fence. by human_totem_pole (Tue 17th Nov 2020 8:52am)

I was talking about this while getting my hair cut last week. The guy that owns the barbers is sick to death of mask-free cunts walking into his shop with daft lanyards proclaiming mask exemption. You can buy these lanyards online and they mean fuck all. Glasgow is full of fucking weapons who are ruining everything for reasonable people. You've got the selfish cunts who don't give a fuck and the "it's all a big conspiracy" dicks. These morons need to get a fucking grip. by human_totem_pole (Sun 27th Dec 2020 3:21pm)

I opened up a bricked-up fireplace in my flat and put in an open fire. Had to get a chimney sweep to inspect / test the flue. I burn kiln dried logs and smokeless fuel from CPL. I'd say go for it. A real fire is magic this time of year. by human_totem_pole (Sat 16th Jan 2021 9:08am)

I've adopted 4 cats from Cardonald SPCA. They're brand new and really helpful about giving advice and support. Not sure what the process is during lockdown - I'd give them a bell.

There's black communities all over Glasgow all from different backgrounds and cultures. Folk here just tend to get on with life and it's a pretty chilled city in general.

I didn't think he was the lying type, but fair enough. I fucking detest all that celebrity bake-off EastEnders garbage but I'm willing to pay a license fee so I can watch brilliant programmes like Adam Curtis' Can't Get You Out of My Head.

This is over simplified, but I get the impression that Glasgow Council has been stuck in some kind of perpetual austerity since the global financial crash of 2007-2008. I genuinely struggle to think of a 'success story' where residents have collectively benefited from a council initiated project. All of the money and effort gets diverted towards fighting fires (often literally) and mopping up the fallout from poverty and addiction.

The Queer Folk I' the Shaws I thocht unto mysel ae day, I'd like to see a race, For mony ither lads like me had been at sic a place. Sae up I got an' wash'd mysel, put on my Sunday braws, An wi' a stick into my han' I danderd to the Shaws, My mother richtly counsel'd me before that I gid out To tak guid care an my e'e wi what I wis aboot Said she, " Ye may be trod to death beneath the horses' paws An mind my lad the sain's true: 'There's queer folk i' the Shaws.'" The races pleased me unco weel gosh they were gran to sce The horses ran sae afu I thocht they maist did flee man When they came near the winnin post O siccan loud huzzas Ye wid hae thocht they'd a gaen wud the queer folk i the Shaws. A bonnie lass cam up to me an ask't me for a gill Quoth I, "If that's the fashion here I mauna tak it ill." She will'd me our intill a tent an half a mutchin ca's Thinks I, " My lass I see it's true there's queer folk i the Shaws." The whiskey made my love to bleeze I fand in perfect bliss So I grip't the lassie round the neck to tak a wee bit kiss When in a crack she lifts her neive an bangs it in my jaws Says I, "My dear what means a' this, there's queer folk i the Shaws." A strapin chiel came up tlome an took awa my lass Misca'd me for a country loon, a silly stupid ass, Said I, "If I've done ony ill jist lat me ken the cause," He made his fit spin aff my hip, there's queer folk i the Shaws. Aroused at last I drew my fist an gid him on the lug Tho sairly I wis worried for't by his muckle collie dog He bit my airms he bit my legs tore a my Sunday braws An in the row I lost my watch; there's queer folk i the Shaws. A policeman he cam up to me an hauled me aff to quod They put the twines aboot my wrists an thump't me on the road They gart me pay a good pound note e'er I got oot their claws Catch me again when I'm te'en in by the queer folk i the Shaws. by human_totem_pole (Sun 21st Nov 2021 1:10pm)

That's not always the case. If you introduce them properly (and I don't mean saying "Cat, this is other cat. Shake paws and be friends") they should get on OK.

Some of Espedair Street by Iain Banks is set in Glasgow. The main character drinks in, or near The Griffin bar. The Magic Flute by Alan Spence is a beautiful novel about coming of age and discovery in Glasgow 1960s - 1970s. Any of Ralph Glasser's novels. George Friel's Glasgow Triliogy is a belter.

I bought the Google WiFi 3 pack. They look like hockey pucks and you barely notice them. One plugs into your router and you put the other ones in different rooms.

The bars at the front are always heaving so I find it easier to go down to the side bars on the bottom floor. I was looking at the folks up in the boxes - wonder how you get tickets up there?

I agree with the other replies saying it's too far south of the subway tunnels to be a vent shaft. Nothing on old maps either except one which had MH (Man Hole) at that location.

It was dodgy as fuck sometimes. They had a car ahead of the race and one behind to warn cars. Barrelling down the A81 with traffic coming the other way was mental.

I'm not in the know, hence the reason I asked about the police. So, let me get this straight: You have evidence of trafficked women being exploited for sex, you have reported this to the police but they haven't followed it up? Can I ask how it was reported? Over the phone, email, at a police station? I'm happy to follow this up. by human_totem_pole (Fri 13th May 2022 12:38pm)

Student Loans Company by any chance? They don't have a great reputation as an an employer and consequently have a high turnover of staff. If you don't mind that, Glasgow is a great city. by human_totem_pole (Sat 4th Jun 2022 1:39pm)

Got a Glasgow Taxi from Buchanan Street Bus Station a few weeks ago and the driver was at the end of his tether. He talked the whole way back about how taxi drivers are being fucked by the council over low emissions zones, step free access, cycle lanes etc, etc. Most of his mates had packed in taxis and started working for Amazon & DPD. by human_totem_pole (Wed 8th Jun 2022 8:54am)

There's loads of it growing along the banks of the River Cart through Pollok Park. Just think of it as a giant jaggy nettle - leave it alone and it won't do you any harm.

Not pathetic at all - pretty normal actually! Life isn't like TV or the movies where every cunt is swanning about with 50 mates, seven nights a week.

Everywhere is beginning to look the same. I was walking through Newton Mearns a few months ago - the area just North of Patterton train station. It was all fields 10 years ago and now it looks like one of these generic retail areas you find all over the South of England: Waitrose, Tesco Express etc. That's what I can't stand - the loss of local personality, charm and character to generic architecture and planning. I'm sure it's the same cunt that designs all this pish. by human_totem_pole (Fri 24th Jun 2022 9:10am)

There was the two 500 foot deep shafts they discovered in Knightswood. Nobody was harmed but terrifying to think about. In a lot of cases, these deep shafts were plugged with railway sleepers and logs then covered over. Over time, the wood rots away and the shaft collar collapses. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13060651.disused-mineshaft-works-extended/ by human_totem_pole (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 10:01am)

**Nostalgia isn't what it used to be muses Reach PLC's Nostalgia Editor.** David McLean stares wistfully out his home office window on a pile of discarded barbers chairs and remembers when local newspapers had proper journalists, sub editors and photographers whose job it was to take photographs for newspapers.

Besides, it says in our contracts that we aren't allowed to write articles, leave the house or use scissors".

I asked ChatGPT if people make Glasgow : "Yes, people make Glasgow! Glasgow is a vibrant and diverse city that is shaped and defined by its people, culture, and history. The people of Glasgow are known for their warmth, humor, and welcoming nature. They are proud of their city and its rich cultural heritage, which includes everything from the city's industrial past to its contributions to the arts and music. The people of Glasgow are also actively involved in shaping the city's future, through initiatives such as community projects, arts and cultural programs, and urban development plans. As a result, Glasgow has transformed into a modern and dynamic city, while still retaining its unique character and charm. In short, the people of Glasgow are an integral part of what makes the city special and worth visiting." Can't argue with that. by human_totem_pole (Sun 26th Mar 2023 3:55pm)

Great that your going to tackle the garden! Some tips: Jot down the design on paper or using some online drawing apps. Create a free My RHS account - it's great for tracking which plants you have and how to care for them. If you have space, get a small compost bin. Start it off with soil and worms if you can find some. Layer with vegetable scraps and you get free potting compost after about a year. Think about how much maintenance you're prepared to do. A wildflower meadow is beautiful but it will need weeded and cut back. You could grow some plants in containers rather than directly planted and have gravel paths around the containers. Make sure you used anti-weed fabric under the gravel. What direction does the garden face? This is important as some plants thrive in direct sun and some prefer shade. Climbing plants are beautiful (Clematis, Ivy etc) if you have a wall where you could attach some trellis. Any space for raised veggie beds? by human_totem_pole (Mon 5th Jun 2023 12:20pm)

Has the chimney been smoke tested? It might not need lined. by human_totem_pole (Sat 10th Jun 2023 11:37am)

Glasgow Toon centre please. by human_totem_pole (Sat 10th Jun 2023 11:42am)

Yeah, get it tested. The original lining is a kind of vitrified half pipe (can't remember the proper name) and the mortar between the joints can fail and the smoke leaks . If the original lining and mortar is sound you might not need it lined. A chimney sweep or fireplace installer will light a smoke bomb in the hearth and check other flats and attics for any leakage. by human_totem_pole (Sat 10th Jun 2023 12:03pm)

I think what's happened is the volume of rainwater has overwhelmed the gutters or down pipes (possibly blocked) and the rainwater has overflowed onto flat / glazed areas where water doesn't normally pool. The waterproofing on the flat areas has failed and let the rainwater in. As others have said, when you get such a high volume of rain in a short time, you get water flowing into areas with weak protection. The old building isn't fit for purpose as a hospital and it may be more cost effective to build a new facility versus fighting a losing battle to keep the old place running.

Avoid basement flats. Go and look at an area before you view - can you see condensation in other flat windows.
