End of havelock st facing cottiers by sunandheir13 (Sun 14th Mar 2021 10:33pm)

Some may call it partickhill, and estate agents will call it dowanhill but to me it's Partick, 🤣😂 by sunandheir13 (Sun 14th Mar 2021 10:47pm)

Google map and walk around all the lovely parks! When walking round the streets always remember to look up and you will be rewarded some with lovely architecture, walk walk walk, is my advice! by sunandheir13 (Thu 10th Jun 2021 1:41pm)

Buchanan st has the most footfall in the city center from the shopping mall down to argyle st it's mostly pedestrian precinct but because of that usually busy with other buskers, other shopping streets in the area are sauchiehall st and argyle st but they are kinda fading a bit now. Outside the city center the west end is probably your best bet with byres road being the best area. Not sure if police acceptance but there are always buskers around, Good luck! by sunandheir13 (Mon 27th Jun 2022 1:03pm)

I was wondering what you were talking about 🤣 the royal hanadian counting police, 🤔 but something gave it away gave it a way gave it a way now 😁 by sunandheir13 (Mon 27th Jun 2022 2:23pm)

Is it a very small park and all other space is used up? Does there encroachment cause any issue for other users of the park,? I wouldn't knock out of hand someone whose efforts could be enhancing the view unless it's causing issues to other users, by sunandheir13 (Fri 23rd Sep 2022 8:08pm)

I vote the drum and pollockshields,🙋‍♂️ by sunandheir13 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:23pm)

Yes , just ask who gets the rates, and if they pay a premium for all the incomers to use the cities parks and services, 😂🤣 by sunandheir13 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 10:22pm)

What are your zone parking charge hours? Most end at 6pm , I didn't know any finished at 10pm. Also some zones don't charge on the weekend or more usually just Saturday only, if it is 8am to 10pm you will have to bite the bullet and use 3 if the car is parked all day, 🤷🏻‍♂️ by sunandheir13 (Sun 16th Oct 2022 8:08pm)

That is weird! Up in Park it's only mon-fri, 8-6 don't know if that helps? by sunandheir13 (Sun 16th Oct 2022 10:40pm)

I would recommend checking out council run facilities with the closest to you probably being the two big facilities they have in Bellahouston park, there may be others nearer, I'm not sure. Activ club is cheap compared to private gym membership, 👍 by sunandheir13 (Fri 21st Oct 2022 10:29am)

Pollock park and the Burrell with a walk to Shawlands following the cart for food, or kelvingrove museum to the botanic gardens along the kelvin walkway with all the food places around byres road in the west end would be my suggestion. Plenty of bars like oran mor will do haggis or other Scottish food and there are a few high end Scottish food restaurants in the west end, fish and chips with a deep fried mars bar is pretty Scottish too 😅 by sunandheir13 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 7:35am)

😂🤣 unfortunately we are tagged with it by sunandheir13 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 8:29am)

I worked as an engineer for sp energy network and I am going to guess he drilled through the close electrical service cable. The explosive potential of electricity is less well known than getting electrocuted but it is very very dangerous to damage any electric equipment that is on the street side of supply as the protective equipment is very remote! Hopefully the guy is alright but the potential is he is badly burnt 😬🥲 by sunandheir13 (Fri 28th Oct 2022 6:33pm)

I have seen them embedded in the close wall, the older 'electicity board' cables don't usually have pipework though the older cables are armoured, this is all supposition but if he was working on close lighting at the close mouth and it was a load explosion there is a likelihood of it being before the cablehead. The cablehead also has protection fuses to minimize issues on cables after it going into the close for isolation. Which also means It also could be he was trying to isolate the supply from the cablehead and it went bang. The board equipment is getting very old and the older 'ironclad' cableheads could be a bit dodgy. by sunandheir13 (Fri 28th Oct 2022 7:30pm)

One of the potential issues is the protective fuses for the close cablehead and close service cable are back at the main substation with 400A fuses and that could be a couple of hundred metres away! Low fault level and they can take time to clear! As an aside It was no fun manually replacing these fuses if they blew on a transient fault, but trying it back in was the only option to see if the fault was persistent or not, those were the days 🤦🏻‍♂️😬 by sunandheir13 (Fri 28th Oct 2022 8:09pm)

My wife does house cleaning and would maybe be interested, it would depend on location, amount of work and the rate you're willing to pay, 🙂 by sunandheir13 (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 8:35pm)

I took an old 2 seater convertible double bed settee, to get it in the car I broke it up and did it over a couple of trips, nothing was said 🤷🏻‍♂️ before you do that though have you tried the charity shops? British heart foundation or salvation army? Or is the settee in too poor nick? by sunandheir13 (Tue 29th Nov 2022 3:36pm)

A hidden gem is Ross hall park with it's stone grove and small pond, a bit off the beaten track but absolutely beautiful. The walk along the white Cart from there to Pollock park onto Shawlands is a lovely walk, though more should be done to enhance it. All parks have their merit and I wouldn't judge one as being the best, 😀 by sunandheir13 (Sun 4th Dec 2022 9:50am)

I happen to be doing this for my 60th birthday! A week in Gran Canaria from the 15th 😃 by sunandheir13 (Sun 18th Dec 2022 12:43am)

I have never been burdened by serious depression, I am sorry to hear that you did/do. I also find a difference through experience that vitamin d does help my mild SAD, and also a sense of humour helps me as well, though I will admit this joke was a bit unintentional 😂 I'm glad the tablets are helping you, good luck with the future 🙏😃 by sunandheir13 (Sun 18th Dec 2022 10:59am)

Getting beyond the joke, and I apologize if you found it offensive, another thing I practice that helps me is mindfulness meditation, it's not for everyone and people can sometimes find it hard to get into it. But if it is something that you can manage it does provide benefits for depressive states of mind. I mainly practice at home but there is a group I go to in Glasgow west end called the Glasgow Zen group, again not for everyone, but there are many different versions online, cheers 🙏😃 by sunandheir13 (Sun 18th Dec 2022 11:46am)

The online Meetup app points to plenty of groups in Glasgow for all ages and interests, you only pay when attending events usually, but not always, depends on event and group😃 by sunandheir13 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 1:24pm)

Go into any charity shop and you can purchase an item owned by a genuine scots person for many years! If you choose correctly and pick something antique looking the timescales of ownership could be in the decades!

Secondary school started in 74, My favorite story of the tawse was when a teacher gave you a cloth to protect your wrist and a boy took it and put it over his eyes, how we laughed! Second to that is my first day at Catholic school aged 5, a Nun but the brave takes the belt and hammers a desk to warn us of what is to come if we rebel in any way, it worked for a while, but also helped in the rebellion 😂 by sunandheir13 (Sun 12th Feb 2023 8:33pm)

Rutherglen/burnside is cheap for Glasgow! Other areas I think are value for older style sandstone properties is cardonald/bellahoustoun and linthouse/govan will be interesting with the new footbridge access to Partick and the west end by sunandheir13 (Tue 14th Feb 2023 10:14pm)

Yes you can either take the path along the side of the motorway or go through the new park to speirs wharf, it's all very nice, a lot of work has been done 😀 by sunandheir13 (Wed 22nd Mar 2023 6:26pm)

Suffers from the lack of pubs in that area if you ask me, just the parkway, or further afield quo vadis by sunandheir13 (Tue 11th Apr 2023 5:18pm)

I was an engineer for Scottish power for 30 years, there are different level of power cuts based on what equipment faults, starting with low voltage, then high voltage, then extra high voltage and finally transmission. The higher the voltage the more of the city goes off, but also the rarer the fault. Dips in power (rapid off then on again) are usually caused by networks adjacent to the fault which can draw a lot of power before the fault is automatically cleared. If you are on the network that clears you will be off until the fault is isolated. If you are just an adjacent network you can just see a dip in power. Transmission faults can cause district wide dips but are usually very quick to return to normal. Unfortunately as well these dips can also be repeated over a number of hours as one of the only ways to find a fault is to partition the network and close the switch to see what happens. If it trips you have won a watch and you go back to bed once you isolate it and put everyone's supply back on! Ah, those were the days....😂 by sunandheir13 (Tue 11th Apr 2023 10:45pm)

Bus tae Edinburgh, I heard they got a nice wee hoose on a rock there 😃 by sunandheir13 (Fri 14th Apr 2023 2:12pm)

DELETED I hope so, my 24 year old daughter lives there, 😂 I think it is a great area, handy for the town and west end, up and coming due to its proximity to the Finnieston strip, but like almost everywhere else Glasgow your are never far from a bit of poverty with associated nedish behavior, by sunandheir13 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 1:17am)

The online app called Meetup has a wide variety of groups for meeting up with strangers, not sure how it's for younguns as I'm an old git 🤷🏻‍♂️ by sunandheir13 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 1:27am)

DELETED There is absolutely nothing wrong with being poor but I'm afraid there is a bit of correlation between social deprivation and increased levels of potential disturbance. I apologize for my crass and blunt phrasing if it has offended anyone. by sunandheir13 (Sat 15th Apr 2023 2:21pm)

I just moved to Rutherglen from the west end and there are great bus and train links from there back to the west end. The train line is the central to Partick stopping at exhibition centre and the 18 goes to the end of sauchiehall st. If you have plenty of time there is also the 90 to Partick 😂. Driving as well is easy because it's next to the M74. Not sure how the rental market is for smaller properties, 😊 by sunandheir13 (Mon 17th Apr 2023 5:29pm)

Do a subcrawl, not unique by fun, start in the laurieston and see how far you get round, a drink at each station except west st and Shields road that have nae pubs near them 😂 by sunandheir13 (Tue 18th Apr 2023 8:35am)

At the bottom of byres rd you have the record factory, sparklehorse and the new westside tavern by sunandheir13 (Thu 20th Apr 2023 10:55am)

Ah okay, it's a while since I have been to sparklehorse, never been to the west side tavern since it was done up but previous bar definitely had outside seating by sunandheir13 (Thu 20th Apr 2023 11:06am)

There is one at Mansfield park in Partick, usually pretty busy, I saw bike polo being played there the other day 😂 by sunandheir13 (Fri 21st Apr 2023 3:29pm)

I have mines and feverishly taking notes 😂 love the 90, and agree the 3 can seem like eternity by sunandheir13 (Tue 25th Apr 2023 4:06pm)

The worse type of fault are those on the low voltage system. This usually just covers a single or couple of streets and the protection that cuts off the fault is very low tech. It's actually just a big fuse rated at 400amps. This will blow if there is a fault on the low voltage cable. Now the thing is, because the fault is on a buried cable the company doesn't know where it is 🤷🏻‍♂️ and a funny thing is that a lot of these faults come and go so the best way to restore supply is to bang another fuse in and see what happens. This can immediately blow again or last for weeks! You unfortunately sometimes have to wait till the fault develops before you can find it by digging up the street and this can take a few replacements of the fuse! Putting a 400 amp fuse into a fault manually at 3am back in the day was so much fun 😳 keep phoning and complaining if you keep going off is my best advice 😃 by sunandheir13 (Fri 28th Apr 2023 9:31am)

It's now a major transmission and distribution substation for supplying electricity over south Glasgow. Owned and operated by SP energy networks, the repair bills are horrendous, 😂 worked in there often back in the day by sunandheir13 (Fri 5th May 2023 8:16am)

There are actually loads of these old DC power stations over the city that were turned into AC substations, one for example is in Virginia st next to Delmonico's, great for parking back in the day 😂 by sunandheir13 (Fri 5th May 2023 12:48pm)

None of the old DC generation kit, no. Best thing I ever saw was huge valve rectifiers full of mercury at the Finnieston crane 😳 apart from that the network still has some kit that is pre war though not much hopefully these days 😂 there are probably many buried cables though dating from the twenties. Whenever anyone digs up city center streets they find the old DC cables, great for them as they are full of copper, we had to try and identify them using 100 year old maps. Back in the day 😄 by sunandheir13 (Fri 5th May 2023 1:48pm)

I remember when the kelvin flooded at that location and ran into the main railway line then flooded out at the sec. I was on standby that weekend and remember looking at the river that was torrenting where the exhibition station is, then having to wade almost hip deep into the (was it the Crowne) hotel on the Clyde riverbank 🤔 to check if their power supply wasn't underwater. After that they raised the ground at that entrance. by sunandheir13 (Wed 28th Jun 2023 3:50pm)

Battery storage can/will be used to smooth out the growing supply of variable renewable energy. If this facility is going to be huge the site at Cochno may be related to the massive grid level substation on it called Windyhills. This feeds a big area of north west Glasgow 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Where have we gone wrong that we can't afford to maintain all that empire wealth generated real estate? I suggest we band together, get ourselves another empire, make another underclass of low paid labour living in slums to produce goods for that empire while we cream off the profit to pay for maintenance of our glorious estate! Who is with me? 🤔 by sunandheir13 (Sat 5th Aug 2023 4:15pm)

I worked 30 years in the corporate world for Scottishpower and they definitely had community engagement teams, I would say most large corporate identities do. For Scottishpower it would be focussed I would think on green energy, electric safety or careers in Scottishpower but it's a big and diverse company so who knows! Unfortunately I no longer work for them so can't point you to a number but would be sure that they will have a section on their website that points to community engagement! by sunandheir13 (Tue 15th Aug 2023 9:36am)

Culross is great village visit, with callender and Stirling near, you could also do the Japanese garden and the kelpies/Falkirk wheel on the way back over the clackmananshire bridge to make a day of it by sunandheir13 (Wed 11th Oct 2023 5:38pm)

Yes it hopefully will be great for Govan but may just push up house prices and the numbers of hipster coffee shops, 🤷🏻‍♂️ as a many year Partick resident who is moving to Crookston I am looking forward to the easy walk to Partick/ byres road from govan bus station by sunandheir13 (Tue 17th Oct 2023 4:25pm)

That will be the reason yes, big yellow thang 👍 by sunandheir13 (Wed 18th Oct 2023 3:37pm)

Well, the thought was it could match with the last two new bridges, squinty and squiggly, so you would maybe have to go retro in naming them as well so to follow your suggestion say like....oh I don't know, Janet and Frank 🤷🏻‍♂️ by sunandheir13 (Wed 18th Oct 2023 9:48pm)

No , this is the footbridge from Govan to the transport museum. There is a new traffic crossing getting built at renfrew by sunandheir13 (Wed 25th Oct 2023 7:52pm)

Favourite line, Gregory's girl, talking about the photo they took of the nurse. What they allegedly saw, 'tits, bum, fanny the lot!' I use this expression all the time to describe any holistic requirements 😂 by sunandheir13 (Thu 26th Oct 2023 5:53pm)

The whole market is a bit slow with the high mortgage rates, just taking longer in general to shift I think. Some areas the numbers are building up, lots of reduced and fixed price. Hot areas in the west end and south side still go relatively quick though. But not seeing the megabuck asking over prices of a hot market. by sunandheir13 (Tue 21st Nov 2023 8:30pm)

Sounds like a problem at Killermont grid supply point, up near acre road, 🤔 I wonder if they are having to back feed a few primary substations on the 11kv network or they got the problem resolved on the grid/33kv network 🤷🏻‍♂️ by sunandheir13 (Tue 21st Nov 2023 8:38pm)

This was at inndeep the bar, the path where is crosses the Kelvin by sunandheir13 (Fri 1st Dec 2023 2:51pm)

If you are going to the west end at the weekend check the parking zones. Some are on 7 days a week and some are off on Saturday and Sunday with most being off on Sunday Only. On Saturdays you can park in Park and around Yorkhill. For free parking for visiting byres road 7 days a week there is the area kirklee behind the botanical gardens and thornwood along Dumbarton road. Both are usually busy but if your luck is in or you are early enough and dump the car it works, as both are in easy walking distance of byres road. by sunandheir13 (Mon 11th Dec 2023 8:20pm)
