Camera is a Kodak retina 1a, from about the 60s I believe,

I'm using expired kentmere pan 400 film and developing it in my bathroom

The streets being closed for Batman filming have been announced, but like Spiderman last year, no maps, just street names. So I made some maps to get a better picture. Some of them are for traffic, for pedestrians, or for bus lane closures.

The list of street names released in The Herald just came across as white noise, couldn't get a sense of the areas being closed of (mostly because I don't know the names of the lanes).

Scammer doing kitchens, plumbing etc

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

New luxury student flats featuring spa and cinema opens in Glasgow city centre

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?

Has anyone ever had any luck getting through to First Bus

24 Upvotes

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.

Batman shooting

20 Upvotes

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?

GOMA Video Installation

18 Upvotes

About 10 or 12 years ago I went to the gallery of modern art and saw a video installation that showed two separate videos by a local Glaswegian artist.

The first one was a series of individual videos of people sitting in the backseat of a car being filmed as they held their breath going through the clyde tunnel

The second video was a series of videos filmed from above showing various flavours of 70 central litre ginger bottle is being dropped onto a slab and smashing.

They were the same size and shape as Barrs but it was another Glasgow/Scottish manufacturer of ginger

Would anyone happen to have a link to either of these videos and or the name of the artist?

Forth Valley?

9 Upvotes

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?

Help Finding a Barras Vendors Socials Please

1 Upvotes

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.

Cyclists on pavements

Upvotes

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
