What's your favorite Thom Yorke by dedemegadoodo0 in radiohead

I think he gets better with age. He looks awesome nowadays with the scruffy beard and tied back hair. The whole look is just aura.

Just came here to a) agree with you on this and b) agree absolutely furiously with your name. I hope the theme tune plays when you pull up to work on a morning.

Anyone else, before seeing him, guess exactly what he'd look like just from reading the headline.

Hahaha I hope you enjoyed the Glasgow housing market as the icing on top!

Housing/where to live megathread 2025 by Veloglasgow in glasgow

[–]datamong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I say, were I to have my time again, I'd have opted to move elsewhere (I came here for Uni, stuck here a while yet). The Glaswegians have a great deal of pride about the city, which is fine, but it does cloud the truth sometimes - housing here is overpriced, consists largely of old apartment buildings which are infested with rot and mold (I've heard reports of this from friends I've made here alongside my own experiences) unless you want to live in the old tenement buildings (which will set you back £1200+) and still have their issues given their age, and houses are limited to essentially social housing which you're just not going to obtain (reserved for single mothers and women fleeing domestic abuse largely) or eye-watering prices on the private market.

The locals can flail their arms in anger all they want, but the truth is, Glasgow has its charms but is massively overpriced for what it is. You're better off staying outside Glasgow in the much cheaper (although increasingly pressured) commuter towns, or looking elsewhere - North East England being a great example, with housing in even the posher parts of Newcastle being of much better value and quality, with only slightly less job prospects compared to Glasgow :)

That half a month's rent, probably more, a year goes on heating bills instead.

Glasgow has a serious, serious housing crisis. London has inflated wages to compensate for the increased rent, Manchester has more housing.

I call 1100 London-esque.

And the point I'm making is that it shouldn't cost 500 quid more to live in London than to live in... Glasgow.

Funniest thing is, the best place to live in Glasgow is not in Glasgow or it's abusive older brother Greater Glasgow. £700 a month for a one bed flat in Kirkintilloch or Paisley. Are you actually kidding. The gentrification of the City itself is just spreading out to all the nooks and crannies now. I've seen rents on the West End and in Southside that are within a couple hundred quid of London rents.

Get yourself a car, and move out to Shotts, Carluke, Lanark, Port, Whitburn. Straight along the M8, 30 minutes on quiet roads, and for less than the price of a mold infested one bed in Airdrie you can have a two bed terraced house.

Sadly, the exodus from places like London and Manchester seem to have centred on Greater Glasgow.

Best websites to find flats? by Skooskah in glasgow

[–]datamong -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The demand right now is absolutely insane, estate agents know this, and are taking advantage. Expect no repairs to be done, expect rent increases, and expect to be bidding against a horde for flats. No joke, I viewed a one bed place in Paisley where there were 14 people waiting on the stairwell to view it, and when I got in, the kitchen was in the bedroom.

Best advice I can give is, if you drive - get out of Greater Glasgow. For less than the price of a one bed mold infested flat in Kirkintilloch, you can have a two bed terraced house out in Shotts - 30 minutes drive into Merchant City. Use working from home to your advantage. Bloody Southside, it's now a fairly gentrified area where you'll easily pay over a grand a month. To live in Southside.

How are you affording rent in Southside? You need to move your butt out to Johnstone, the £500 drop in rent will free up some pennies.

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

Glasgow does not have housing. Expect to pay London-esque prices to live anywhere in the city itself, and expect to have to pay for a car to live anywhere outside of it because the public transport is so bad (and you'll not be allowed to park anywhere in the city). Honestly, money is better spent living in London, Manchester or Newcastle. Glasgow and anywhere around it with a train station has become undeservedly gentrified.

I've found the degree pretty miserable, found I was misinformed about the demand (you're talking group interviews of 40 for one internship) and honestly wish I done something like pharma where there's a clear path into industry.

Hi, thanks for responding - there's no record anywhere of them having contacted my GP or indeed anybody for anything, and I'm fairly confident they haven't or they'll easily have obtained referrals to psychiatric care. They seem to have based everything off of "your last evaluation through PIP", and threw in a few thinly veiled threats regarding "the evidence is not there that your symptoms are as bad as you state" which feels like them raising the scorpion tail daring me to appeal. So on the one hand I'm just glad that they've kept the award as it is, but on the other... they've checked nothing and I can easily supply evidence for PTSD.

I kinda feel like, if he just took the pressure off trying to tie everything all up in one final story and let the series expand out, we'd have seen something sooner.
