  • <rant> I was hitting Gregg's for lunch in Bridgeton today, as I approached the entrance two kids (aged 11-13 at a guess) walked out and both simultaneously dropped packaging immediately outside the door. I called them out on it, they looked completely dumbfounded for long enough for me to realise they hadn't registered what they were doing was even wrong, they eventually ran off without picking it up. I might be getting old, but the problem is clearly shitty parents (remember these fuckers weren't even cognisant) producing dozens of shitty kids in their wake. A few months back I was walking the dog on the Glasgow Green and he cut his pad viciously on a new pile of glass I hadn't yet clocked (we avoid loads of known patches). Mindless Celtic fans seem to waltz through pissed, throwing glass bottles at anything in sight, every few months. Starting to actively look at moving away from Glasgow again, place is so ingrained with scum, addicts and bellends it's clearly going to be long beyond my lifetime before it gets any better. I've found there's two types of people in Glasgow:- 1. The nicest, intelligent and welcoming people with the best damn humour you can find. 2. Littering drug addicts, with anger issues. no.2 clearly outnumbers no.1 on the east side, by some margin. by inYOUReye (Fri 21st Feb 2020 6:42pm)
  • Tipping rejections (commercial vans with domestic waste aren't allowed) just get thrown out there. A fair number of people near where we live can't be bothered to put out their waste each week (many bins don't often move), so it accumulates, and they'll eventually just throw it wherever they can find it seems. This is anecdotal, but some of the friendlier neighbours have talked about it. by inYOUReye (Fri 21st Feb 2020 6:46pm)
  • Home reports are often very very superficial. With our house they raised things that turned out inconsequential, and failed to notice leaking water pumps, poor sealed shower trays (causing leaks), damp on certain walls, cracking in render, a woefully built roof and so on. Go in with your eyes very wide open and asses the property with your own eyes, don't trust third parties to give you a definitive list. by inYOUReye (Mon 18th May 2020 3:07pm)
  • Good god, they're very nearly all f*ck ugly abominations. Love that there are folks that feel so entirely differently they'd actually hand draw them, kudos sir. by inYOUReye (Mon 29th Jun 2020 1:25am)
  • As a CTO in a Glasgow software company, if I were trying to shortlist candidates, I wouldn't do so knowing one even had a degree vs an MSc. I would hammer out their wider understanding during an interview. There's no intrinsic paper value after the fact no matter which you attend, unless you're aiming for the large corporate employers (JP Morgan etc) - but these are renown for burning out graduates. It only matters how much better you are for it, and I've not seen many examples where MSc candidates have particularly deepened the understanding of IT on a practical basis. by inYOUReye (Sun 7th Feb 2021 12:20pm)
