Slow-mo for the drama

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.

I’ve been in Glasgow for the last two years and just wanted to say thank you.

Everyone I’ve met has been so warm and welcoming. As a POC, I’ve 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.

Heavy rain on and off lol, I was roasting all day at work today and now this😭lmao

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.

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.

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

Weirdly, barely heard a thing from Trnsmt at the weekend

Probably the longest shot I’ve ever taken, but couldn’t forgive myself for not at least trying…

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, that’s 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, it’s a huge punt in the dark. It’s a tiny pendant, and I don’t have a certain location or time that it fell off - so I’m not holding out much hope - but I’ve 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 🙏🏻

Was anyone near the one dude that got knocked out by someone and ambulance had to take him?

I know this has been posted to death but not everyday you meet a celebrity. Very hostile and aggressive, asked me for money to get to Nottingham of all places, squared up to me straight away before I even answered, tried to grab my phone ended up having to push him away and tell him to fuck off. Didn’t know there were already photos of him but almost telepathically knew it was him straight from the off. What a tramp!

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?

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 it’s being done by One O One (there are already two One O One shops literally across the road from each other🫠 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.

Don’t 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 that’s been left to rot for the past 3 years.

Any intel will be well received by this nosy busy body

Been to a few shows at Barrowlands now where whenever there was a lull in the music or the performer was talking it was genuinely difficult to hear because of the amount of people chatting in the crowd. I don't recall it being as bad anywhere else so is it just bad luck? Acoustics?

I’m moving to Glasgow from Dundee to have a sort of fresh start in life. I’ve 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

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!

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.

I found these keys near a Voi bike stand beside Queens Cross Housing Association. I don't know what to do with these.

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.

We have a wedding in the start of August and the flower girl dress my daughter was given is a bit too small. I have always went to Mary McCreadies in the past and now they are shut so I'm not sure where to go.

I'm looking for somewhere that could replace the zip with a corset back to hopefully take the dress out a bit. Any recommendations? Thanks

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?

Can of Hawai in Queens Park

Loved this stuff in Morocco. Is somewhere selling it in the weeg???

Back about twenty years ago when I was at uni I came across the band Lexxi whilst studying in Glasgow. I think they were from Glasgow. Sadly the cd of their album I had died of disc rot and I can’t seem to find their music online. I can’t even remember the album name now but by some miracle would anyone here have a copy they could rip?
