I went back to the Barras this morning to correct an unrelated but arguably more important error, this time of my own doing, and while I was down there I stopped at Bills Tool Store and bought a claw hammer. The tree has been freed from immediate peril, and now it’s in your capable hands for any further care. The post and strap lay at the base of it, if anyone sees fit to reinstall it with appropriate tension. I like your city a lot, and it seems some of you may, too. Thanks for having me.

The list of street names released in The Herald just came across as white noise, couldn't get a sense of the areas being closed of (mostly because I don't know the names of the lanes).

Just to preface - i totally understand living next to a football stadium i need to expect a influx of cars during game nights. I get it - i’ve dealt with it for 8 years. However, things are just getting worse.

Cars are literally abandoned anywhere blocking our residential streets. It is an obstruction if god forbid one of us needed an emergency service vehicle. Pavements and dropped kerbs are obstructed for wheelchair users. It also causes a hazard to pedestrians who are either crossing a road or having to walk on the road around vehicles. Not to mention the damage left behind on grass maintained by factors.

I have raised it with my local MP and GCC directly but still to this day i have never ever seen any parking control implemented. Does ANYONE have any suggestions on how to tackle this? I know it will never be eliminated completely but i dont see the point in GCC putting out no parking cones with 0 enforcement.

Camera is a Kodak retina 1a, from about the 60s I believe,

I'm using expired kentmere pan 400 film and developing it in my bathroom

20th floor right above the m8 here. video from just after the massive boom. thought the first smaller explosion was fireworks and looked out my bedroom to see this just in time to get my nosy ass singed with the massive explosion

Seems to be a van that’s exploded right between chinatown and the M8

I hired someone through Gumtree to fit my Howdens worktops, said he could mitre, good pics on his post.

He came with a younger guy at 10am.

They absolutely trashed my kitchen.

Not one piece of worktop was cut properly and it all needs ripped out.

Chipped edges, had to tell him to change a piece.

Changed it and it was mildly better.

Cut a big chunk out my wall instead of cutting worktop to size.

Was leaving an overhang of 5 inches at my cupboard.

Couldn't mitre so that was an absolute lie.

Tried to pull my the wood off the side of my cupboard for some reason and trashed my wall that was just plastered.

Hes still got 2 ads up on Gumtree even though I reported him.

Goes by nickname Ayo, his names Ayoro or something similar.

Beware if youre booking anyone to do home improvements

sounded like an explosion and loads of smoke going up in

This is right in between the High Street rail station, and the Moxy hotel, just off the corner of the hotel.
I’m here on vacation, but I’m gardener/landscaper and I notice these sort of things. Anyways, this tree will go to waste if that band isn’t removed soon

Successful testing of the new signalling and comms system continued in the Subway on Sunday as staff worked through the various new operational aspects of the system in this our second Sunday closure.

SPT chief executive Valerie Davidson said:

“After a lot of hard work and effort, it was really exciting to see the Subway system operating under the new signalling and comms systems – this transfer to new signalling is a massive step. The new passenger information screens on trains, together with the automated passenger announcements will make an enormous difference to passengers, not only to those who use our services everyday but especially for those who maybe only use the Subway occasionally or require a bit more assistance when travelling with us. As we move towards driverless trains, good, clear, helpful information will make all the difference to all those people using the Subway.

“I am delighted to see the progress being made as we transfer over to the new Operational Control Centre.”
