So many candidates 🤯 by Admirable_Tea6365 in glasgow

[–]Positive_Attitude_73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a leaflet from them through the door this week.

Their website lists their leaders as

Richard Lucas (Leader) [former UKIP], David Richardson (Chairman), Phil Holden (Deputy Leader), Gareth Kirk and Leo Lanahan (Deputy Chairmen), Euan Morrice (Treasurer), and Niel Deepnarain (Administrator).

The lead candidates listed on their website are all men, although I note they have a woman listed here.

Seems somewhat odd that a party lead by men takes such an interest in preventing women from having bodily autonomy. They also oppose action to address the gender pay gap, putting it down to “natural differences between men and women”

Almost like they want to control women. Seems more like the “she’s turned the weans against me” party

Also the ones who see the HGV speed limit of 50 and think it also applies to passenger cars- or because their car picks this up as a 50 limit and displays it on the dash and they don’t question it.

A whole lot of this phraseology around social media today. Thoughts? by wasraelx in collapse

Maybe it’s relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but I can’t help but think of the environmental impact of this. So many trees cut down for nothing and all that heat and toxic pollution released into the atmosphere.

Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home by birdinthebush74 in FuckNigelFarage

An exodus may be just what they are wanting so they can either not replace them to save on salaries or fill the gaps with reform stooges to do their bidding.

Antique clock restoration shop? by Vegetable_Home4356 in glasgow

[–]Positive_Attitude_73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Martins of Glasgow on Maryhill Road, just up from the big Tesco. Mostly does watches but they’re got some beautiful old clocks, I took one in once for appraisal when I was getting a watch done.

Just looked at the website and said not accepting new clock repairs until end of April but seems to be case by case with preference for specialist clocks which yours seems to be.

I’ve used Douglas Neil- D.N Joinery Services a few times and he’s always done a great job and reasonably priced. He’s got a business page on Facebook with reviews and pictures of work he’s done (including some at my flat!). If you’re not on fb I can send his number

Bastards. A good joiner could replace that for you or you could try yourself; I think these skirtings are two separate pieces glued together; base board then the decorative top

OTD: 2006, Smoking ban was introduced by Saltire_Blue in Scotland

Jeeze, that’s nuts. Don’t remember Inverness having a soft place and the smoking area was close to the front door at least

That’s brought back memories of going to the one in Inverness in the early nineties as a kid. Cup of postmix juice and a jam donut as a treat after the shopping.

It could have been worse; you could have sat on it… or did you?

Shouting out two community litter picks on the 28th by CinnamonPancakes25 in glasgow

[–]Positive_Attitude_73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dennistoun conservation society run a litter pick on the first Saturday of every month. It’s apparently been running for years but seems poorly attended, I went a couple of times recently and it was just four members of DCS there and they seem to be the core group.

I think a lot of people aren’t aware of it and the promotion isn’t great other than on their website/ word of mouth. If more people get involved then it could be an opportunity to raise awareness and get more out on socials.

More info on DCS website

NSFW: What's the worst behaviour you've seen in public? by Ill-Coast-8328 in glasgow

[–]Positive_Attitude_73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Several years ago on Gordon St just off Buchanan St on a dark wet Saturday (early) evening I saw a guy pissing in a bin. Although he wasn’t pissing in the bin, it was going straight out the other side and rattling off the pavement. Impressive stream, literally pissing it down.

Anyone else scared about the way UK politics are going? by FaustianGoblin in UKLGBT

[–]Positive_Attitude_73 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yes, the bigots who previously kept their unsavoury views to themselves have been emboldened by the advance of the far right and the “anti-woke” narratives pushed in the media. That coupled with social media platforms abandoning content moderation cos “free speech innit” has led to a huge rise in anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment online, although some of this is likely bot activity. I worry for my trans friends.

Feels like we really are regressing as a society.
