  • I never go there. I only bought the ticket because a return from corkerhill to Pollokshaws east is 30p cheaper than a return to Central. Go figure. Doesn't make sense like a lot of things scotrail do. Maybe they are trying to encourage tourism there. It could be the new Largs. by mcalr3 (Fri 8th Feb 2019 10:22am)
  • That would be incorrect, sir. Data is data. The transmission medium does not make you consume more data. by mcalr3 (Thu 27th Feb 2020 4:52pm)
  • I alerted the police in April to a stolen bike being sold directly outside my house by two suspicious looking characters to one of my neighbours (dodgy guy - manky franky type) but they were not even in the slightest bit interested. by mcalr3 (Wed 16th Sep 2020 2:17pm)

  • That's what I usually do, you stupid cunt. Did you not read the part that I've done my back in? by mcalr3 (Sun 11th Apr 2021 6:53pm)

  • We should really press our government via the health minister on this subject. My wife is from Poland and she has had a very similar experience. GPs just brushing things off and saying all is fine when in fact it is not. Only when she became pregnant with twins and was shown the extra special attention to detail by the Queen Elizabeth Maternity Unit was it discovered that she has PCOS and ideally she should have been receiving medication for this for years as it can develop into diabetes if left untreated. People here always put out the fanfare for our NHS, treating it like a religion, when in actual fact there are plenty of problems with primary care and most of them lie with GPs who are the "first line support" and in many cases don't do their job properly. by mcalr3 (Fri 16th Apr 2021 10:08am)
  • Who the fuck is downvoting any criticism of the NHS on all of these comments? by mcalr3 (Fri 16th Apr 2021 11:22am)
  • Was the guy always wearing a leather jacket by any chance? Old boy? I was confused in gallus when I had to play him, I thought he was just being wide and didn't realise it was standard pub rules. Stopped going there when the bar staff used to turn off the jukebox and switch the input to the TV as soon as me or one of my mates put on any metal music 😂 by mcalr3 (Wed 28th Apr 2021 11:27pm)

  • I really feel your pain, and I hope that you get some sort of solution but I really wouldn't hold my breath for GCC to do anything about it, they are absolutely fucking useless. by mcalr3 (Sun 9th May 2021 7:06pm)
  • Put some dug shite on the underside of his door handle or sardines under his door mat. by mcalr3 (Sun 9th May 2021 7:12pm)
  • We do have a reserve list. Guy in my team at work yesterday got called out of the blue (in his 30s) and told that he could have a vaccine that afternoon because someone had declined theirs, so he got it done there and then. No stock wasted. by mcalr3 (Thu 13th May 2021 11:25am)
  • Bearing in mind that this is the part of the country with the highest covid rates per 100000... by mcalr3 (Thu 13th May 2021 11:56pm)

  • It's out again tonight doing at least 3 circles overhead.. Fucking joke. I live about 3 miles south of the river so nothing to do with folk jumping in. by mcalr3 (Wed 9th Jun 2021 11:17pm)
  • It's the police copter you knob, not the air ambulance. During the day I managed to zoom in with my phone and could see that it says police on the side. by mcalr3 (Thu 10th Jun 2021 6:56pm)
  • Good idea for a website! by mcalr3 (Thu 24th Jun 2021 10:54am)
  • This sounds like my worst nightmare and I dunno how you've put up with it for so long. We live in a newish build estate where there have been umpteen neighbours who feel the need to feed the seagulls on a regular basis, shiteing all over cars, windows, kids toys etc. I found that having a word with the "bird lovers" and confronting them was the best way to get it to stop and they all pretty much seemed like they were unaware of the issues that come from seagull shit, so when explained they didn't do it again. This guy sounds like an absolute screwball though and he needs a severe "talking to". I wouldn't count on the council, they are hopeless. They did nothing about our neighbour who loves to burn plastic instead of putting in his blue bin. by mcalr3 (Wed 30th Jun 2021 9:16pm)

  • If you want a brand new one check our the next home outlet store at braehead they usually have some ex display stuff going for cheap and you can take it away right there or they can give you the number to a guy they work with a lot who delivers locally for £50 by mcalr3 (Fri 16th Jul 2021 8:00pm)
  • If they were conscious about annoying or disrupting the wellbeing of their neighbours, they could look into solutions to dampen the noise. Such as, thicker carpets etc. by mcalr3 (Thu 29th Jul 2021 9:32pm)

  • That mcdonalds has seen plenty of mad shit over the years. Back around the same time period we were all about 14/15 and my mate got mugged while taking a pish in the upstairs toilets. We all chased the junkie, steaming from our cider & black down to the side of the riverboat casino. Lucky as fuck the CID saw us chasing the cunt and followed us down there. The junkie got cornered on the railings bit behind the casino and the CID buckled him there. We ended up having to go to court as witnesses but the cunt pled guilty before we had to do anything. All that at age 15 & mad wae it. The junkie could of as well pulled a knife on us or anything. Canny believe we were as stupid to this day. That's what underage drinking does to you kids! by mcalr3 (Wed 8th Sep 2021 10:24pm)
  • It's not so much the property prices which are out of control - markets dictate prices based on supply and demand - its the home report system. Case in point: a house across the street from me sold for £253k in May (home report value was £215k. That's 18% over and it was bog standard with all the original fixtures and fittings). Now when we listed our house, even though our house has an extra bedroom, a larger south facing plot and has been extensively renovated inside to a high standard, the surveyor wouldn't budge above £235k. Two weeks later we have sold our house for £284k at closing which is 20% above HR. How the hell is a first time buyer got any chance when the prices are so artificially-fixed low? If the home report was a more sensible £260k then it probably wouldn't have gone 20% above and therefore FTBs would have had a hoping chance. by mcalr3 (Tue 5th Jul 2022 7:57pm)
  • Yup, and Belisle hotel in Ayr by John Campbell the dodgy cunt. by mcalr3 (Wed 6th Jul 2022 10:57pm)
  • To be fair the airport are ripping the absolute cunt out of it. It went from a perfectly fine free drop off area to a £4 money grabbing exercise in the space of a few years. The simple and cheap solution to stop people using the drop off as pick up zone and hanging around was to install an ANPR camera giving people 5 mins to drop off. Of course, capitalism won in the end. by mcalr3 (Sun 30th Apr 2023 8:19pm)

  • Exactly. The buses are dire. It's £4.05 return from paisley gilmour street to the airport for what is less than a mile journey. Total money making scam. by mcalr3 (Fri 5th May 2023 10:37am)
