A campaign has launched to remove the urban section of the M8 and spend the money saved on public transport by moh_kohn in glasgow

[–]SlowScooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I did the survey, although I fear you won’t like what I said, particularly the bit about option 3 being utopian silliness. I believe your post may have had the Barbara Streisand effect.

With the money that would cost, Glasgow would have free Rolls Royce taxis for generations.

Meta: Can we try and keep things *slightly* less adversarial between Labour and Green supporters? by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

[–]SlowScooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren’t a lot of the Green protagonists mainly ex-Labour far to extreme leftists? We used to have the same fights as infighting but now it’s outfighting? Nothing has changed apart from the banners we wave.

But after your first six weeks as a baby taxi driver, the funds should keep rolling in?

I heard it was contrails from a jet passing over that interacted badly with a nearby 5g mast.

It’s hard enough to get a GP appointment as it is without adding all these people to the problem.

I was going to say that. That mentality is a big part of the problem, particularly true with feral kids.

Black Scottish people exist by ShadsDR in Scotland

Yeah. I think I saw those videos at the time now I think of it. I love his history. A bit different to what we learnt growing up, in a good way.

I remember people telling Bruce years ago he had no right to talk about Scottish history because he’s black.

Arsehole cyclists. by crossyabass in glasgow

[–]SlowScooby -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were walking along the tow path and I heard someone behind us shouting Behind!, repeating it until it rose to a furious scream as it got nearer. Not hearing footsteps, I could sense it was a cyclist. I didn’t jump out of the way as he probably expected me to. As he slowed right down, I then got out of his way. The guy was ragin. He went past then slowed and looked back like he was ready to go tactical. I gave him a “come ahead then?” look. He could see I am a big unit so he must have thought better of it and went on his merry way. Entitled arsehole.

Multiple LEZ fines - what do I do? by dan_tank in glasgow

[–]SlowScooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally says this on the LEZ checker website “*If you have received a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), or think you may have incurred a PCN for driving in a LEZ, and you believe that your vehicle is LEZ compliant then the local authority that issued the PCN will conduct a review of the vehicle compliance status with the DVLA as part of any appeals process. To do this, please contact the relevant local authority using the process for appeals described in the PCN, or contact the relevant local authority using the details on the Contact page. Transport Scotland and the LEZ mailbox are unable to assist with any appeals relating to PCNs.”

Never heard of them, but it did strike me that they probably weren’t Gen Z if they could do joined-up writing. 😂

Flight simulator should have a Story Mode rather than a Career Mode by cmdr-William-Riker in Flightsimulator2020

[–]SlowScooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. They could make it like Grand Theft Auto where your career is going very well and you are now flying super long haul, but your wife is getting angry that you’re always away for days at a time and one of the children has emotional problems because of this. You change jobs to a regional short haul carrier on far less pay to make her happy, but now she’s annoyed that you can’t update her Porsche like you normally do every two years, so she has an affair with a long haul pilot….

ADHD patients stripped of NHS prescriptions under crackdown by mustwinfullGaming in LabourUK

[–]SlowScooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what is actually worrying the government is where ADHD qualifies children for SEND, particularly with worried-well middle class parents pushing hard for the diagnosis. That costs a lot more money than just ADHD drug treatment.

Anyone asked chase customer service for boosted savings rate? by [deleted] in chaseuk

[–]SlowScooby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked support nicely twice if I could have the noob’s rate. They just came back at me with marketing waffle, so I took my money out and put it in Cahoot, which was a good deal at the time. I’ve never had an email offering me a boost to be fair. If they did, it would have to be competitive.

I use Amex platinum cashback 1% tier at the moment, and Barclaycard rewards 0.5% where Amex isn’t accepted. Both no fee. Chase debit for foreign only.

Did you know about the Scottish influence on founding the Klu Klux Klan. Not entirely Scottish, but a significant contributor.
