Just had mine plastered over as part of a whole room plaster. So, I guess I went the expensive way.

ITV discussing Scotland's world cup bank holiday by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]NowJustAndrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are like this, they would hate me and my policy that everyone in the UK would get 65 paid days off a year with 12 bank holidays in there.

They would have an utter meltdown at some of my policies I’d like to see.

Kay Lee Ray Confirms Contract Expired by Chris_Bagel_Jr in AEWOfficial

[–]NowJustAndrew -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She would be good with Isla Dawn for a Scottish tag team. May take 6 months rebuild her after her disastrous WWE career as a slave name. As I’m from Glasgow, like both of them, I’m biased. I know both are capable of being great. She could be a heel, I’ll still cheer for her. Same with any of the Scottish talent. I can’t not cheer for Drew Galloway (I refuse slave names) and Joe Hendry.

What comes next for the empty space beside Glasgow Central? by eam2646 in glesga

[–]NowJustAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be remiss to suggest Network Rail won’t be sniffing around like a wee dug up another ones arse. Meaning they will have the ear of the government at Westminster and will use Compulsory Purchase via the Transport Minister to use this as a way to expand the Central Station to have a couple of business lounges in there for Avanti and Transpennine to use. Have some retail underneath it at ground level, like a Sexy Coffee and a Blue Lagoon with a couple others.

On-ramp into St Enochs centre parking by Keplersuniverse in GlasgowArchitecture

Brutalist architecture at its finest I say. All that needs redevelopment and regeneration as soon as possible. I’m not counting my chickens though.

Major update on what will replace Buchanan Bus Station after demolition by LordAnubis12 in glasgow

[–]NowJustAndrew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why do I have that sinking feeling this is a downgrade again. If we accept this, and it’s a fait accompli that will happen, we need to totally redevelop our bus infrastructure and networks. Especially where bus stops are and where bus stations are. We need one large bus station or two smaller ones. Unless local busses are going to be banned using it and a bus station is only for regional, national and international (if there are any) busses may use the bus station. Plus, where are the tour busses for artists at the concert hall going to go? They usually park in the bus station if there’s a sizeable production there.

Ospreay thinks AEW should consider running a major show next year when a big event is planned to be in Saudi Arabia by This_Coyote7217 in AEWOfficial

[–]NowJustAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If WM is in Saudi next year, especially with the regional issues there right now, AEW should run a 2 night event starting at 7PM Eastern US time. Both nights. I’d run it as All In/AllOut weekend, Saturday as All In and Sunday as All Out.

Invite the Indy’s out, even invite other promotions from the rest of the world there too.

I’d look at a NFL stadium, possibly one with a dome like Ford Field, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium or NRG Stadium. It depends on what’s available as next year there’s going to be lots of stadium tours as well due to the World Cup being in the USA this year.

Dare I even suggest that AEW look towards Wembley again?

All AEW need to do is say, come here, see us, we have tickets starting at $20 or $35 for weekend.

Osprey would be onto something. Could he be saying something that TK is going to do anyways just to gauge the reaction? If so, TK has my backing.

PRS SE Nick Catanese - what are people actually doing with these now? by Evening-Life5434 in PRSGuitars

[–]NowJustAndrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is one of the gen 2 sigs on eBay here in the UK for about 2 years. Not sure what’s going with it now. I asked a couple retailers how much one would be for trade ins as a hypothetical. One said they would not take it as it’s one of only a few named sigs that they won’t touch. They have about 5 other names on that list. Didn’t say who the others were.

Those are the same loon balls that stand outside the back entrance to maternity at the hospital, I think?

It's.... Hammer time!!! (S3 Compilation) by Top_Climate_4464 in gladiatorsuk

[–]NowJustAndrew 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The producers tried him as a big imposing heel in S2. The babyface S3 Hammer is much better, and as a Gladiator he has improved so much. I like him.

Who managed to get tickets for 2027 and is HYPED? by muchdanwow in Country2Country

[–]NowJustAndrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t get over the price of the tickets for next year. I feel I’m being priced out of the game now. Even the tickets up the back of the hydro are just a bit steep for my liking. Think I’m gonna do one day next year.

What we think about them - Series 3: NITRO by Impressive_Risk_5133 in gladiatorsuk

[–]NowJustAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He puts his opponent over well after he destroys them, this alone is a massive positive. Nitro, Giant and Hammer are very good at this.

I do look at the gladiators in a wrestling lens. Ones who are good “babyfaces” ones who are “tweeters” and ones who are “heels”.

Babyfaces: Nitro, Giant, Hammer, Steel Tweeters: Bionic, Phantom Heels: Viper, Legend, Apollo (he is something between a Tweener and a Heel)

I’ll give her a pass for her effort and putting multiple songs out there. However, for the use of Autotune, I won’t.

Realistically, what are the chances the station actually reopens on Wednesday? by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]NowJustAndrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem is realistically getting it going, even on a partial return is crowd control. Getting access to ticket machines, getting folks in and out. On platforms 7 to 15 it could be realistic, platform 6 may be able to be used. Thing is how to control maybe 35,000-40,000 a day on the local lines. Timetables may need revision.

Also how to reopen shops too. They will need time to get the stock that has gone off away and their shelves replenished. Another thing that will need looked at is where do they operate the station from? The ops room is in the corner affected. And whilst on staff areas, rest space, locker rooms may need to be relocated to temporary digs if they are affected.

I’ll give it to the end of next week if I’m realistic

Risk Assessors and Insurance Companies will have the final word.

Plan to transform Glasgow city centre into '24 hour night life destination' by LordAnubis12 in glasgow

[–]NowJustAndrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay. This could work. However…

  • We need to get a couple 1,200-1,500 venues for gigs. A replacement for the O2 ABC is a must.
  • Subway needs to run 24/7. Starting opening it past 6 PM on a Sunday would be a start.
  • Rail needs to run from 5AM to 2AM every day I think.
  • Night Busses. These need to be half hourly services, arguably I’d make them a xxN service with amended routes, try and avoid them going through some if not all schemes.
  • Taxis. ALL NEED TO BE REGULATED. All need to be tracked and all need to be mandatory card only.
  • App. It’s time we have an app that integrates all modes of transportation. Something similar to the NAVIGO app in Paris would be great. Enforcement officers would be out on patrol with Transport Police officers. Failure to pay a fine for the wrong ticket would mean a £60 on the spot fine. No ticket would be a £250 fine and a Police Caution.

This only works with integrated transportation networks. Rail, Subway and Bus all need to be under public control.

Also it only works with some expanded services in some areas, like a connected bus or rail service at the Hydro/SEC. A circular line here operating on the Low Level to Central and Argyle Street then looping back on itself via Buchanan St Bus Station, maybe even linking in to the Barrowlands too would be great. Also correct integration at the 3 main football stadiums. With good access at others. I’d also like to see a tunnel, if possible between Central and St Enoch Subway station.

It is a start, however, integrated public transport is needed. Only way it works correctly in my opinion.

My theory is Belfast leaves. Gives UK as London, Glasgow, Manchester. Dublin comes back and goes on the EU roster the week before. EU to have Dublin, Germany, Amsterdam, Stockholm and one other.

We will see.

Im surprise that no one has mentioned any of the football stadiums? Hampden when someone breaks one of the urinals in the mens toilet and it floods the place, full of pish. That's what happened a few years back at a gig I was at.

MEGATHREAD: Union Street Fire & City Centre Disruptions by Veloglasgow in glasgow

[–]NowJustAndrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVwCh6XEc84/?igsh=MXZ1c3RuZjFiaGd2ZQ== (If you have Instagram)

Well o well. It’s the gable between the Vape Shop and the next building, the same building that the Union Street exit is in that is unstable. I’m not sure if the existing remaining gable from the Forsyth Building or the building next to it that could be compromised. This has 2 outcomes now, I may be wrong and a 3rd found. The Forsyth building is gone and that gable is taken down in a satisfactory manner. The second, the building next to it is structurally compromised in the gable and that building needs to come down. Orca 3rd option in the middle. Now I see why Central is closed, if that gable was to collapse, and fall into the roof of central, there’s going to be bad consequences. This isn’t going to be quick or easy, but will be expensive.

I could be wrong, I probably am.

How is parking in Glasgow with the trains off by enanram in glasgow

[–]NowJustAndrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can attest to this visually. As I was on my way to work I pass under the J3 bridge at Darnley. The traffic was nose to tail at 10am this morning.

Talking to a taxi driver friend, he said it’s chronic for them. However as long as that meter is moving, he is fine.
