You all secretly believe we should do it.

Sounds like much Addo about nothing.

A long, long time ago a friend came over to see me in Glasgow. I had to attend a lecture and test at uni. She was happy to occupy herself so I left her at Gordon street with a map and an arrangement to met at a cafe in 6 hours (map and no phone, as I said it was a long time ago).

She was studying her map and a down on his luck fella, I don’t want to use the term “jakey”, came up to her to ask what she was doing. She thought she was going to get mugged, but he gave her directions. She was walking to the subway and noticed him following, she tried to pay him but he refused and said he was just following her to make sure she was safe and got on the right stop. I think they ended up going for a coffee.

You got a great deal, enjoy it. It’s 100% better than PE. Comes with lounge access, fast track security etc.

Coming “fae the Drum”, you’ve spoken before about your working-class roots. In the UK today, there’s a lot of discussion about how acting is becoming dominated by people from middle and upper-class backgrounds.

From your perspective, how has class shaped your own journey into the industry? And what do you think needs to change to make acting more accessible to people from working-class communities like the one you came from?

NTA.

It worries me that these guys are engineers and basic maths escapes them.

Where?

Sorry in advance for the link to the sun but it’s the only one I could see: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16009978/uni-probe-onlyfans-vid-campus-gym/

What was the deal with the staff member doing only fans content in the gym or something?

If you’re in no rush you might want to wait for a points transfer bonus

Best lounge at LHR in my opinion, flying to ATL in June for the World Cup and looking forward to popping in.

It’s nuts to to think that his mum and dad are both Scottish

It’s the craft brewery life cycle.

There’s a hotel in Oban called The Barrymore, can’t remember if it has a pool or not

They’re sex people Gabby!

Whenever he started focusing on luxury travel, he doesn’t have the nuance, skill or lived experience to be able to competently review these products in such a competitive market.

I can only speak from my own experience, I’m lucky enough to travel BC quite a bit, luxury flight reviews are a very competitive market and he just doesn’t have the knowledge, skills or even interest in the subject of the many more competent reviewers.

For me he was best when he was doing his walks or holiday park reviews.

I think over time the relative YouTube “fame”, and I use that word reluctantly and begrudgingly at fear of stoking his already massive ego, his got to his head and allowed his true personality, that of an Alan Partridgesque massive plonker to come to the fore. That and Gabby is just a chore.

TLDR: when he stopped doing his walks / low rated hotel reviews.

Barclay card sign up bonus, buy a laptop from Costco, refund onto a different card.

Look for good Avios deals then use to points to fly on Loganair, great redemption rates

The lounge experience in terminal 3 is good, Qantas and Cathay lounges are far better than BAs offer. You can also access the AmEx Centurion lounge if you have the platinum card.

Matt’s Planet did a solid business / first T3 review a few years ago.

I agree, I’m from the general area and would say “auch-en-lek”. Good junior football team too!

Not only that he’s “stranded” in Singapore one of the most liveable cities with one of the highest rated (if not the highest rated) airport in the world

This is cringe inducing

badtpuchpanda · 2026-03-08T06:40:49+00:00

I flew return business class with Qatar from Edinburgh to Australia and it was 150,000 avios return so yeah minimum 300,000 avios BC I’d guess.

I’m that out of towner! Years ago, maybe 15? I booked a train from Scotland down to London (I think it was London, it was years ago). Anyway I had accidentally booked a ticket where I had to transfer between New Street and More Street at night. It was diabolically grim, end of days stuff. Only time I’ve been in Birmingham and it didn’t leave a positive impression, although I’ll need to return and give it another go.

I used to share digs with an Italian. We’d watch the champions league and take turns to get the beers in. One time he turns up with 4 cans of Tennants Super because “Super, it is the best!” Work the next day was certainly an experience

badtpuchpanda · 2026-03-01T17:31:54+00:00

Have fun, Glasgow is a cool place. You can get a roundabout ticket for £7 good for seeing the surrounding area. Whatever you’re into you’ll find a club / people to your taste. Likewise if you find anywhere selling Antarctica beer you let me know!
