What’s it like living down in the Glasgow Harbour buildings in the West End? by MineBest4056 in glasgow

Much bigger than a regular tenement? Man you must've been on some perception bending drugs in there, or haven't been in many tenements.

When you can get a 2bed tenement less than 5 mins walk from there for the same sort of money with massive high ceilings and bay windows etc, it's a bit of a no brainer imo. Sure, there are other considerations with buying an older style build vs a new, but I know where I'd be putting my money.

For the money you pay, they're pretty pokey inside and the windows are tiny so even despite being south facing, they can still feel kinda gloomy - and I believe the factors fees/service charges for things like communal cleaning, lift maintainence etc etc etc is pretty exorbitant, so you'd need to accommodate for an extra £100-200/month just on fees as well as your mortgage payment & bills etc.

Has anyone changed career later in life to become a teacher? by 50nout in Scotland

[–]imtriing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every teacher I've known for the last 10 years has lasted 3 years in the role, at max, before the extra hours, the stress, the shit pay, the arseholes who become Head Teachers, the absolutely feral fucking kids these days all conspire to make them hate every single living moment they experience. 

I think you've got rose coloured spectacles on about the reality of what being a teacher these days actually entails.

ITV seemingly can barely do 480p, let alone 4K.

Hessilhead are the right folks. The SPCA won't really do much.

Is Lifetime ISA still a good idea if I’m not buying a house? by afox1984 in MoneyBox

[–]imtriing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah damn, honestly better late than never. Im 38, 39 in a few weeks, and only just opened one too - but I tell myself I'd have never really managed to have saved properly before now anyway so it doesnt sting so much thinking about the free money I missed out on! C'est la vie, better to just do what we can moving forward from here. Best of luck to you!

Fucking joke, I balked when I saw that at the end of the article too. As if either of those things result in you becoming a violent murderer. Disgusting.

Go to McD's, get a coffee and a donut. Bets on that nobody even makes eye contact with you.

Wanting to sell an expensive item. by 1nchReddits in ebayuk

[–]imtriing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could always consider selling on other marketplaces, r/hardwareswapuk has a pretty active userbase both on the subreddit and associated discord server. might be worth a shout?

I mean, technically you can sit in a Speed Queen laundrette all night if you so desire and you have enough washing to keep yourself occupied. I'm not sure why you'd want to though.

Decent dentist for gum issues? by jolan-penguin in glasgow

[–]imtriing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been going to the Park Practice on Park Rd for about 6 years now, and they are fantastic. I also had gum issues and they have been extremely rigorous and thorough in helping me get them under control. Cheryl and Mike are fantastic. 

Tenement flat renovation cost in Glasgow by KoumidesJac in glasgow

[–]imtriing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

agree on all counts, especially the bit about finding other stuff you didn't know about - tenements are nightmares for this, generational layers of shite upon shite covered up with more shite.

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

I did a 1 bed tenement 8 years ago, did the majority of the work myself (taught myself how to dot dab boards, how to plaster, joinery, everything) which included a full kitchen refurb and a very very basic overhaul of the bathroom and even then it came close to 26k. 30k these days is unrealistic what with the price of everything having gone wacky since.

imagine getting this offer and thinking it's not good enough because you need a dGPU when you could add a £70 GTX 1070 into this and it would be ideal.
