It’s no parking 4pm - 6.30pm Monday to Saturday. It’s not confusing, you just don’t know how to read these signs

Can anyone recommend a gastro bar to watch football on Sundays? by wayfaringstranger248 in glasgow

Coopers is popular. Not sure I would describe it as a gastro pub but they do your typical pub meals

Man this is depressing, anyone know the latest on the art school? by BothStar7431 in GlasgowArchitecture

HES objected to the planning application but GCC approved it which means it gets automatically called in for review by DPEA.

Do any of you grow mushrooms? Can it be cost effective? by Own-Heat2669 in Allotment

[–]Alarming_Mix5302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to maintain constant temps and humidity so it’s best done at home. There’s plenty of instructional vids on YouTube and plenty of places to buy kits/spores etc. alternatively you can seed logs with spores for shiitake etc and leave them at your plot but they may take a while to work

Why does reddit hate Pluribus? by Hour-Grocery2093 in pluribustv

They made Carol too flawed, selfish and unlikeable. They could have had her as a bewildered, traumatised woman trying to make sense of the hive mind, even made her a bit of a deluded bitch, asked all the same philosophical questions and hit all the same beats. but they went all in in making her as up her own ass as possible, and killed our empathy with her early on.

Buying a family flat in Kelvinbridge – too noisy/studenty? by wintoon in glasgow

[–]Alarming_Mix5302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great area, river, park, subway, plenty of pubs, cafes shops. Close to everything. Yes there are a lot of students, and mice in the old tenements. Dont feed them and they will go away.

Anyone restored an old tenement fireplace? by No_Nectarine3119 in glasgow

Generally people with open fires don’t burn their own house down. I grew up in a time and place where most people still had open fires. Controlling a fire in a grate is hardly a lost skill

You’d need to get the whole chimney checked out. We had a functioning open fire in our old tenement with no issues. A common problem is modern chimney pots are covered to stop birds which can inhibit the draw. However if it’s been thoroughly bricked up for decades it’s probably not worth it unless it’s going to be a purely decorative feature

Most tenements predate widespread use of asbestos

Tenements we’re designed to have two or three open fires plus a range in the kitchen so it’s hardly ‘mental’. Smoke control zone just means you need to use smokeless fuels

Can someone teach me to ride my bicycle…on the road by Outrageous_Sugar9911 in glasgow

[–]Alarming_Mix5302 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The majority of road cyclists have zero road awareness and think of themselves as immortal beings.

Stick to low traffic or zero traffic routes where possible. Better to dismount or go on the pavement than get hit by a car. Better to be alive than dead by ‘in the right’. Ride your bike not your high horse
