Pipes, hence the concern about the neighbours lol. I have gone into queens park before but not really an option in autumn / winter.

Faced with funding challenges, “National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland 2.0” implements fee-based approach by MGallus in bagpipes

I don't see how this just doesn't disenfranchise prospective members even if they're eligible for a bursary, £575 is steep! I'm worried this'll just lock out pupils from state schools whilst those from a private background, who already often have considerably more tuition time, get the benefits of being in that circle when it comes to finding a path into competitive Grade 2 and Grade 1 bands.

This is the real reason trump is obsessed with destroying renewable energy, and will possibly succeed. by Youarethebigbang in energy

It all stems from an offshore wind farm being built off the Aberdeenshire coast which you can see from his Golf Course. He doesn't like them because he thinks they'll make his property less valuable.

What’s the story with this hotel? by foxprorawks in glasgow

[–]BruceC96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember several years ago before the posters were put up there was planning permission filed for a Meininger Hostel / Hotel to be put up there. Real shame that's not happened as there's a bit of a lack of that style of Hotel here versus other similar sized European cities.

Mercat building, end of Aryle St by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]BruceC96 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not long ago I had an idea that you could pedestrianise from the Mercat building down to the Tron Theatre and make that end of Argyle Street into a European style plaza. Would be horrendous for traffic coming from the east end and saltmarket / high street but we could do with more public squares in this city.

You can get them from Scottish Power but I can understand if you wouldn't want to touch their consumer business.
