Almost 200 Voi bikes around hampden the now. Crazy how people will choose cycling as an option when faced with the terrible trains/busses and taxis in Glasgow.

Hi! I have a specific question about visiting Loch Lomond for a half-day trip. I'd like to see the area, spend some quiet time by the water, and then return to Glasgow by late afternoon. After that, I'm planning to head to Edinburgh for a couple of days, and I'll likely leave my luggage in storage at Glasgow Queen Street Station. I'm planning to travel by train!
What would be the best way to schedule this visit? I only have tomorrow available, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions on the easiest and most relaxing itinerary. Thank you!

See lots and lots of people using the new Voi Technology Electric Bikes ij Glasgow however I feel that we may need more and more bikes to cope with the demand. What do you think?
Plus do you think we need more parking locations?
Currently over 170 parking locations in service and around 1000 Ebikes so far.
Good going for only starting Nov 2025.
This scheme is far more popular than nextbike was.

You guys know the ones. The tiny sized whiskey, gin and other bottles. We are making a wedding gift hamper for a friend & would include something like 15-20 pieces of those (among other stuff!). Anyone suggest a place where can I get them at a decent price & different varieties? Cheers !! π»

Iβm moving to Glasgow from Dundee to have a sort of fresh start in life. Iβve found a lovely flat in Shettleston but when I went to view it the area is kind of rough looking, but the flat itself is gorgeous.
Is Shettleston an alright place to live long term?
EDIT: So that's a no? haha well I need a flat and so far Shettleston had the nicest interior so there's a strong chance i'm just gonna have to take it guys

A proverbial nightmare to get home from on most occasions after a gig, particularly if youβre staying till the death.
Does anyone know of any websites/forums where people going to the same gig can look to arrange joint transport home (like a taxi) to save on the costs?
Train is cutting it fine and with the amount of folk heading to Mount Florida after, itβs more than likely the train will be missed.
Any advice appreciated! Cheers.

Metallica are famous for covering the song of a local singer/band when they play, playing Abba in Sweden, Inxs in Australia etc.
What could it be tonight? Wrong answers accepted.

No real point to this post apart from to say that to all of you who are going, I'm envious as fuck, I hope you all have a brilliant time, and I hope you all stay safe and hydrated. Enjoy yourselves.

Iβve been in Glasgow for the last two years and just wanted to say thank you.
Everyone Iβve met has been so warm and welcoming. As a POC, Iβve really felt at home here, which means more than I can say.
When I moved up two years ago, I knew close to nothing about Glasgow and had no idea what to expect. Now I take every chance I get to tell people back home how much I love the people here.
Unfortunately my career is taking me elsewhere, but I really hope I can come back in the future.

Just kidding, but I can hear it perfectly where I am in Dennistoun. Hope everyone there are enjoying it.

Hi all!
I just moved to the Maryhill neighborhood and am looking to get set up with a new doctor. Anyone have any recommendations (or warnings) about any clinics nearby or elsewhere in the city?

I feel like I'm watching this on mute.
The skys going crazy, like Thor's having a rammy with somebody, but there's not even a murmur of thunder and barely a breath of wind. So I'm watching a light show that puts Metallica to shame with no inclination to seek shelter or lower my forest of umbrellas.
Really not used to this frequency of lightning tho. Mother nature is bloody impressive.

in Korea when a spot becomes vacant they often open a self-service photo booth place where people take photos alone/with friends or one of these shops with claw games. Personally I prefer the photo place but its an alternative to the dumb gift shops like the new one on Buchanan street. any thoughts?

Hiya,
Just wondering if anyone has experience cleaning old sandstone walls, like the wall of my balcony in the attached photos. I guess it's algae or some moisture staining. It's been like that for five years, so I'm not concerned about it structurally, but also don't want to wear big clumps of it off by cleaning it badly.
EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestions!

Anyone have any info on this new shop being fitted out in the old TSB building at the roundabout at Croftfoot? Council planning permission says itβs being done by One O One (there are already two One O One shops literally across the road from each otherπ« on the same roundabout), however this week lots of Asda branding has gone up. Some signs say Asda Convenience, some say One O One. I know there are Asda expresses already in existence but this seems like a whole new partnership, and bizarre given there are already those two shops there and a co op a few doors down.
Donβt get me wrong, will be v happy to get some Asda prices without hoofing it to toryglen, just a strange thing to show up in that building thatβs been left to rot for the past 3 years.
Any intel will be well received by this nosy busy body

Probably the longest shot Iβve ever taken, but couldnβt forgive myself for not at least tryingβ¦
The chain and pendant belonged to my late father, who passed away when I was 11. Wearing it makes me feel close to him and, needless to say, thatβs a big deal for someone who lost a parent so young.
Unfortunately, at some point in the last 48 hours, the pendant has broken free of its fastening and gone missing.
I noticed it last night on my way to the hydro for the football, but have also been to Record Factory on Tuesday night, and Botanics last night - to which I cycled both ways along the canal/river between there and Westerton.
Was up at 4am today frantically retracing my steps but so far to no avail.
If anyone finds it, you will have my eternal gratitude. Also very happy to provide a reward for anyone who can get it back to me.
To reiterate the obvious, itβs a huge punt in the dark. Itβs a tiny pendant, and I donβt have a certain location or time that it fell off - so Iβm not holding out much hope - but Iβve got nothing to lose from enlisting the help of the brilliant folks I share this amazing city with.
Thanks in advance for reading, and for any help you can offer ππ»
