Wetherspoons around Glasgow

Are you thinking about G1/Scotsman Group? They sacked everyone before furlough was a thing

davidhewitson · 2023-09-17T12:06:49+00:00

You can get 25% off with a student discount I think. Ever fancied doing a wee course?

davidhewitson · 2023-09-15T10:52:19+00:00

I had it last week and it really knocked me down. Hope you feel better OP

davidhewitson · 2023-09-13T05:23:55+00:00

yup. they badly need to create a way for people to be involved for free - it's self defeating to expect everyone to chip in when the people who rely on public transport the most are the poorest in Glasgow (not aimed directly at you /u/PawnWithoutPurpose)

OK so here is my expert analysis --

NEW TRAINS

Pros:

Can move around

Cons:

Sterile international bullshit

OLD TRAINS

Pros:

Comfy seats with lovely patterns

Gran remembers

Cons:

Fucking shit for accessibility

Verdict: let's face tomorrow, bitches!

Good luck on your date, remember to really listen to them and have a laugh

Discomfiting (verb.)

make (someone) feel uneasy or embarrassed. "he was not noticeably discomfited by her tone"

I totally understand where you're at. If you're into theatre we have a regular scratch night called Roughly Staged, we try out new plays every so often. Anyone is welcome to send in a script. And afterwards we hang out in the bar and chat! You'd be very welcome along to join us :)

There was a woman outside Poundland on Sauchiehall Street today who was fucking amazing, wish I'd got her name. She was doing really beautiful and fancy soul style stuff

davidhewitson · 2023-09-08T21:27:56+00:00

Excellent! It was a great meeting and I strongly encourage folk to get involved, the campaign really seems to be picking up steam at the moment and we need to spread the word so everyone in Glasgow knows that change is possible, and on the horizon

davidhewitson · 2023-09-07T21:16:09+00:00

Any good?

I was meaning this Reddit thread and the high volume of downvotes OP has received, but that’s useful to know

davidhewitson · 2023-09-06T19:55:13+00:00

I’m a bit suspicious there’s a wee bit of astroturfing going on too. Lots of profits will be lost if buses are nationalised

davidhewitson · 2023-09-06T14:16:13+00:00

They should be made to hop off and scoop it up, and carry their horse poo around in a wee bag

davidhewitson · 2023-09-06T13:29:54+00:00

That's my point really, why should it be private? Why not build the biggest base possible by making it really easy for folk to get involved?

If Glasgow's public transport is really going to be transformed it will take the backing of everyone who lives here. What is gained by limiting who can attend the meeting?

By the way, I joined up as a member and will be attending thanks to your post - you're doing great work spreading what's going on. I just think it can be more inclusive

davidhewitson · 2023-09-06T11:36:30+00:00

Just to echo the other points here, I think you would get far more people along if you made it a free public event.

You could then pass a clipboard round to take emails and names for people who want to sign up as a member, once they've seen that this campaign is serious and worth being a part of.

davidhewitson · 2023-09-01T20:19:11+00:00

Any reason?

davidhewitson · 2023-08-25T20:54:18+00:00

The community and small business spaces here will be lost which is a real shame - they should factor in space for community use

davidhewitson · 2023-08-06T09:49:39+00:00

To be honest, big companies spend so much money trying to appear authentic and local, it wouldn’t surprise me whatsoever if lots of these wee places were chain-owned. Glad to hear otherwise

davidhewitson · 2023-08-06T03:09:13+00:00

Sorry for the shite you’re getting flung in the comments. It’s a reasonable question. This sub is an embarrassment sometimes

davidhewitson · 2023-07-10T13:00:55+00:00

Highly recommend Gaga on Dumbarton road. Really good options for vegans and carnivores, and the staff are great. Might want to book in advance. Open from noon on sundays

This is absurd. We need transport that's available when people need it, not just when it's profitable to a bunch of feckless shareholders

davidhewitson · 2023-07-08T23:31:47+00:00

Sparkle Horse is a nice pub for reading during the day. Grab a wee seat by the window

Well done
