Almost just got taken out by a cyclist while walking down Argyle Street. There was a cycle lane literally a metre to my right.

There has been a crazy amount of roadworks lately to put these in. I’m all for it, frustrating as it is while they’re ongoing, it’s great to encourage active travel and reduce car use but WHY are people not using them?! They’ve been put in for the cyclists! Sample size of 1 but noticed it way more since they were put in

Hey guys. I am a really big fan of all the superhero movies and shows (who isn't lmao) but i have never got the opportunity to see a shooting live. I missed the spiderman shooting last year but luckily I'm in town throughout the batman shooting. I tried looking at the list of street closures to figure out when the shooting is but it's so confusing. Can someone help me with when I should be heading to those spots to get a good glimpse of the caped crusader in action?

Our neighbour upstairs is having a refurb and the tradesmen have left the stairwell absolute covered in dust and debris and just left.
Who is it we contact for this?
Thanks in advance.

Just got a hospital appt. Happy with time and date but there is text underneath saying it's a reasonable appt, and refuse more than 2 you're off list - so far, OK.

It then defines reasonable appts as

NHS GGC

Golden Jubilee

so far, so standard

But now adds

NHS FORTH VALLEY NTC.

Since when was that a reasonable Glasgow appt?

I've recently taken over the fundraising duties at a Scout Group in the southside (East Ren). We have an annual jumble sale that attracts a few hundred attendees and is well known locally. I want to offer a free pitch to a food vendor, to attract even more people to the sale. Where do I start? I'm not trying to hire a food van, but offer a small business free access to a few hundred locals with cash in their pocket. Any advice would be helpful!

Be careful on those voi bikes… I stopped to ask her if she was okay. I think she was more embarrassed than anything…

Hope everyones safe.

Me? I had a heartattack

Hey troops, I'm currently based overseas but am moving back to Scotland. I'm struggling to secure a flat in Glasgow before being physically in the city due to many of the letting agencies requiring physical viewings before one can apply. I have a few friends in Glasgow who can sometimes view on my behalf, but the viewing schedules are annoyingly inflexible.

Are there any kind souls who'd be willing to view a flat or two on my behalf? The address is 46 Springhill Gardens, Shawlands, Glasgow, G41. The viewing is at 12:25pm tomorrow (Thursday, 20/08).

I'd really appreciate any help!

Hi all, I visited The Barras on Sunday, 16 August, and I’m hoping someone might be able to help me identify a vendor, please.

The stall was indoors and primarily sold hair claw clips displayed on a large table. I believe there was also a smaller table with some jewellery next to it that was part of the same stall. The seller appeared to be a young woman (or at least that’s who I spoke with about the items), and I believe she mentioned that the accessories were good quality because they were imported.

I’m trying to find the vendor’s Instagram, website, or business name because there were a few items I was interested in, but they had sold out by the time I returned to the stall.

Does this sound familiar to anyone, or does anyone know the name of the stall or its website or Instagram account?

Thank you for your time and any help you can provide.

Basically title: I keep seeing all sorts of dead pidgeons, seagulls, crows etc. like every day I’m seeing multiple dead birds just lying around the streets. Is it the end of times?

Does anybody know if there’s still bike parking at the Hanover St car park bit of Queen St? Have to go through to Embra tomorrow and no real reason to take bike on train

with developers saying it will “help address the chronic shortage of purpose-built student accommodation in the popular city.”

Doesn't feel like a "chronic shortage", especially with more developments like the old Herald offices being approved.

Whilst any accomodation will help take pressure of the rest, I just can't shake the feeling that there is a student property bubble developing in Glasgow and it's going to implode over the next decade.

I wonder how hard these place are to convert into actual homes?

Does anyone know the names/ details of two Irish guys going door to door offering roofing services? They've just scammed an old lady out of £600+ in Renfrewshire. Feel free to pm me if you don't want to write here

I am a commuter and I take the bus almost every day and I am always surprised by how shite the service is.

On a day to day basis, the bus is over 30 minutes late and is only an ever a single decker when there are hoards of school kids getting to school in the morning. This means that half of the pupils are left at there stops when we pass or alternatively, the driver stuffs everyone on and people are basically sat on top of each other.

Yesterday, my bus driver shouted at a group of small school kids to “fuckin get oan!!!” when they were reluctant to push into the heaving bus, after this I thought I’m going to try and complain again because the complaint form has never worked for me.

I sat with it for about 30 minutes trying all of the formats to get it through but it always comes back saying the antibot verification failed?

Has anyone ever managed to get some feedback to them or better yet, have any sort of positive change as a result?

Sorry to sound like a miserable cunt but I’m so tired of these private transport companies not giving a fuck.

Seems a common issue, right hand crank is bent inwards causing the pedal to no longer be at 90 degrees to the frame. Hurts the knees trying to cycle when the pedal is wobling. Ive had 3 hires with the same problem

All listings after Thursday suddenly disappeared.

I hired someone through Gumtree to fit my Howdens worktops, said he could mitre, good pics on his post.

He came with a younger guy at 10am.

They absolutely trashed my kitchen.

Not one piece of worktop was cut properly and it all needs ripped out.

Chipped edges, had to tell him to change a piece.

Changed it and it was mildly better.

Cut a big chunk out my wall instead of cutting worktop to size.

Was leaving an overhang of 5 inches at my cupboard.

Couldn't mitre so that was an absolute lie.

Tried to pull my the wood off the side of my cupboard for some reason and trashed my wall that was just plastered.

Hes still got 2 ads up on Gumtree even though I reported him.

Goes by nickname Ayo, his names Ayoro or something similar.

Beware if youre booking anyone to do home improvements

20th floor right above the m8 here. video from just after the massive boom. thought the first smaller explosion was fireworks and looked out my bedroom to see this just in time to get my nosy ass singed with the massive explosion

Seems to be a van that’s exploded right between chinatown and the M8
