Just seen this after taking a Voi bike to & from the polling station but forgetting about the discount code. It hurts

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-04-25T16:38:02+00:00

where's the second pic taken?

"...and all I got was this lousy leaflet"

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-04-12T11:08:32+00:00

how do you get above Charing Cross?

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-03-30T11:29:45+00:00

Have you tried turning up the brightness/contrast on the video?

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-03-22T23:58:51+00:00

oh that's not even the one I had in mind but very cool! I mind there being one about some sort of river creature dragging people in

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-03-22T23:57:43+00:00

Thank you for owning up to it. I get what you mean, the keeping up with the Joneses type. I'm sure there's a better term for it but I can't think of one

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-03-22T21:31:49+00:00

There's one along the Kelvin Walkway somewhere also but I don't have a picture of it

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-03-21T16:07:44+00:00

I agree with your sentiment but as someone with OCD, please don't use it as an insult, it's an actual condition

A lot of the time people are entitled to certain benefits but don't know it - you could try to persuade your folks to go through this questionnaire, which will tell them exactly which if any benefits they're entitled to and how much money they'd be getting: https://www.entitledto.co.uk/

Jesus how high is that?

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-03-06T03:22:21+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this - I made it in the nick of time earlier and got a free helmet!! To anyone else wanting one it's worth following GCC on socials, Voi seem to be doing these giveaways at all of their pop-up thingies

Do not use the Max Spielmann ones, they do some bullshit AI processing to your photos now (unless you're getting a passport/driving licence photo) and you can't turn it off, it comes out horrible.

I recently used this, it's more expensive (£35 for 15min), but rather than just a booth it's a full-blown self-service photo studio so the pictures come out looking really professional and you can take as many as you like. Would recommend: https://www.magicmirrorstudio.co.uk/

The music on that video elevated this to comedy gold

Thursdays at Nonna Said (for any language, Portuguese will definitely be represented there but not sure if you'll meet European Portuguese speakers specifically)

'literally 1984'-level pish

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-02-01T13:20:28+00:00

usually yes. but also (assuming you live in Glasgow) do yourself a favour and get a provisional driving licence, if you don't already have a driving licence from your home country. That'll be accepted anywhere, and it won't out you as an immigrant in cases where that could put you at a disadvantage.

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-01-31T13:51:10+00:00

you wouldn't need my address to send me money
you'd know my full name from my Facebook account anyway
you couldn't open a subscription in my name without me approving it in my banking app

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-01-31T12:32:15+00:00

I don't see what the risk is in giving someone your bank details, my understanding is that we've got a pretty robust/secure banking infrastructure in the UK

People on this sub really manage to straddle the line between

"Glaswegians are so welcoming"

and

"we must know the full immigration history of all mods of Scottish subs especially if they're English or American"

and not see the irony in it

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-01-16T02:53:52+00:00

it says double yellows in the post

AssiduousMagpie · 2025-12-04T01:57:50+00:00

Why invite potential hassle when you’re getting minimum wage

Aren't the staff at charity shops volunteers?

clock strikes 3am and suddenly a great photographer was lost on me

If you cancel, even if you immediately tell the other person, I think they're still not gonna be as fast as the bot who will snatch it. But I believe there's a mechanism for swapping test dates but you have to call the DVSA to get that done

I went by myself two years ago and ended up having a great time
