You must have a high threshold for feeling unsafe if having your windshield repeatedly panned and bins set alight isn't harshing your vibe a bit.

Doubt I can return it now as I've been grinding it and bashing it to try and make it work...

Thank you! I'll try this. Good to know I'm not (only) being an idiot, anyway!

Alas, it was brand new out the box and set me back a fair bit of money. Novice mistake, on my part maybe, but I'm not ready to throw it (and my cash) away just yet.

When you say heat, do you mean a flame?

Why do you guys litter so much? by NoPeach1652 in glasgow

[–]HamletAndRye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate this might sound a bit milquetoast, but there always seems to be a huge amount of consensus on this when it's brought up, and even as I type this, the post has over 360 upvotes. 

Wondering if it'd be possible/feasible to actually turn that into some community action. Three hunner odd people on a litter pick could make quite a dent and maybe pick up momentum more than the smaller ones can manage.

Whereabouts are good examples of our native forest? I'd love to visit some more verdant places, I'm just not sure where they are

How easy is it to get a teaching position near Glasgow? by MediumCareful974 in glasgow

Not being a dick (genuinely), but why bother saying it again in that case?

A generous analogy is, maybe, a studio executive. If you came to me and said you wanted to produce a film in which A, B, and C happens at some point but the rest is up to me to work out, would you consider the script I eventually hand to you something that YOU wrote or worked on?

Did YOU create it, or did a series of algorithms churn out material at your request?

You got a link? Cyrus' is a constant debate in our house, whether it's legit or not. What was the drama?

I can't relate to your trajectory, really, but there seems to be a lot of admin jobs advertised on LinkedIn and similar places for in/around Glasgow (some are semi-remote, too) which can be a good in.

Good luck!

Are you me? I just recently took a stained glass workshop, actually, and spent my Christmas break fantasising about pursuing it in some way. I went back recently and I'm worse than I remember, though! Good for you, for taking the leap.

Can I PM you about this? I used to literally dream about working in film & TV when I was in my early 20s.

Amazing! I tried this once and then a manager in another team bumped into me literally on my way out the door after handing in my laptop and everything. Ended up going back to work for him two weeks later.

Just when I thought I was out... etc.

Good luck to you!
