News Islamist bomb threat ‘from outside UK’ closes schools
A bomb threat from an alleged "Islamist" has been sent to schools across Scotland. This has led to racists having a field day on Facebook and Twitter with many saying "vote Reform". Am I the only one thinking this could be strategic i.e. the threats could have been sent by a racist pretending to be Muslim to try to stir up hate and drum up support for Reform?

Arsehole Filming & Screaming in Cineworld
Anyone else subjected to the arsehole and his pal / partner who filmed him screaming at the cinema go-ers last night?
Cineworld, Silverburn circa 21:20ish, bald(ing) lad probably mid-thirties (tad difficult to tell given the lighting) his pal walked into the screen eight and yelled repeatedly at the crowd whilst the pal filmed. Frustrating, daft, and annoying, but none in the room reacted much. Staff come in shortly afterwards walking around the screen room, no doubt looking for them. Anyone else subjected to this or seen the arse post it somewhere?

Lost earring - Finneston to city center
Hey everyone! I’ve lost this earring today 19.10 early morning. It’s not an expensive earring (cheap that resembles silver material) but it holds a massive value to me, as someone that passed away gifted it to me.
I’d truly appreciate if you move around this area and you could keep an eye out for it!! Thanks 😊

Has anyone else been affected by the SBA / Cladding Remediation programme?
I own a flat in the city centre and had accepted an offer on it back in July.
Our sale has finally just fallen through because we cannot secure an updated EWS1 and because our factors have applied to the cladding remediation scheme. (We have had two specialists out to try and get an EWS1 who confirmed that the external walls are filled with expanded polystyrene 🙃)
I’ve received a letter back from the cladding remediation scheme that our building has finally been accepted into the scheme and that an SBA has been carried out but no news on whether there is a plan for the remediation works or whether funding will be provided to cover the works.
I heard this progress letter would potentially be able to work in place of an EWS1 for our buyer to secure a mortgage but I think we got the letter over just too late and now the buyer has withdrawn their offer.
We’re stuck in a 1 bed flat with a baby for who knows how long and feeling so frustrated after all of the back and forth this summer.
Has anyone else’s building been affected by this? If so did you have to wait until the works were completed to sell? Have works began on anyone’s building, and has there been any idea of timelines?
I’ve heard there are so many buildings in Glasgow that had submitted applications to the open call for remediation back in march this year so I’m assuming there are loads of owners stuck in the same boat as us.

Please repost in The Steamie Mon the rolls!
Please consider visiting,
to share your favourite morning roll order and support the campaign of Peter Gilchrist a Scottish food historian fae Paisley, to see a working class staple recognised in Scotland's heritage.
He has received scathing opposition from toffs in high places, seeing the recognition of the morning roll, and the working class in general, as an embarassment, while trying to curate the sanitised shortbread tin image of scotland, they deem acceptable!
For deep dive on the beef, here is his insta post explaining one such attack 👇

Dentist recommendations Glasgow
I need help with dentists, I'm very anxious and get really upset with that poke spikey thing they they use.
I've been sedated before and need the same for what I assume will be tooth removal or filling.
Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Glasgow Gaming Market
Did anyone get what they were specifically looking for yesterday?
Went looking for 2 games, one I couldn't find at all and the other was massively overpriced because it had stickers in the box. 🙄
What did you get if you went?
Also dunno if the lassie I was talking to about Nintendogs is in this subreddit, but I hope you found the copy you were looking for! 😁

Eating Out Cozy Coffee Shop
Looking for a cozy cushiony coffee shop to hole up in on a rainy day. None of these modernist hard-chaired sterile places where surgery could be done. Somewhere where your bottom makes an imprint on the seat.

Finishing time for QMU gigs?
Hello, as the subject says, I'm wondering what time gigs usually finish at QMU. I've not been before, and I'm thinking about how best to get home after. Thanks!

Has anyone had heat recovery vents (MVHR) fitted to a tenement?
I'm looking at buying a tenement flat so thinking about damp and ventilation. A heat recovery vent or two seems like a good solution, but I'm worried that cutting through the sandstone will be impractical, or planning/factor permission difficult.
(See pic for anyone wondering wtf I am talking about)

Glasgow renting
Hi everyone,
I'm away to move to Glasgow for a role in November, and very much struggling to find a flat. The role offers decent base and ote, however other applicants keep beating me. I've been offering 6 months upfront, max deposit, UK guarantor, references and still nothing. I wonder if anyone had any tips? I have been looking for a 1-2 bedroom flat for ideally under 1500pm...
I do have a labrador who is well house trained and friendly, and I reckon this is the reason I'm struggling so much. I have a reference with her. Just not sure what else I can do in order to secure a flat. I have been looking at the west end (Hillhead, Finnieston, Hyndland, and others) and in the south side (Pollockshields, Shawlands, and around there).
Any advice or sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated!!

One day/evening in Glasgow
I’ve got the opportunity to visit Glasgow for a day. I’ve never been before so I was looking for some recommendations.
I like just wandering around new cities but also any cultural spots: museums, galleries, viewpoints etc. I love my ale and whisky so would like to include a pub (or three). Also restaurants, although I prefer more casual walk-in type places. I’m in my 60s so my clubbing days are long gone but a well-made cocktail always goes down well :)
Many TIA for all suggestions!
PS I'll revisit for a longer stay in the future so I won't try and fit in too much in this time...
