used to live in an attic flat just along from this one. the floor was thin and i was QUIET hopping rug to rug not to make any noise as sometimes my eagle-eared 87 year old downstairs neighbour would slowly come up to the flat at 1am and rat-a-tat-tat against the door with the end of a broomstick

This Is My Glasgow @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

If you walk west along Doune Gardens in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow, you may notice something odd. For no obvious reason, the buildings suddenly change and its name becomes Doune Quadrant. So, why does this happen? Cont./ #glasgow #glasgowhistory #spitewall

a guy tried to road-rage me last night in a traffic jam in the centre of glasgow (charing cross) - actually had the nerve to come up to my car window and shout at me. kind of proud of myself for calmly winding down the window and telling him to f off and read the highway code partridgin' it

it _is_ immediately adjacent to the 60/61/2 going west/northwest, but if you were already on the subway you'd change at a different stop that didn't involve you taking 15 minutes to wind through the city centre (bridge street is such a missed opportunity. no voi bike station!)

it's weird that they HAVE just repurposed the existing signs to just permanently show the PSA "well strictly every train coming to this station is approaching, what do you want, jam on it"

I... don't understand how it's even possible to mess this up. Surely they're rendering exactly the same signal???

now nothing for seven minutes. this is worse than a stopped clock being right twice a day

new glasgow subway platform signs showing a train is approaching when it has not been approaching for four minutes, this is not a great start

This picture from a Red Cross photoshoot in 1918 is an uncomfortable reminder of the time when Glasgow had a racially segregated hospital. A wee thread... 📷: Library of Congress

it came in the lee of that (the construction, at least) - largely planned by abercrombie, much like the ringways plan for london 35 miles of urban motorway out of a planned 70 miles were eventually built

this america.gov website claims to roll 29,000 websites into one but also tells you "open the links in the answer and check the official pages before you act" and well that just, at the very best, makes it a search engine

hoping the voi bikes help fill out places where there are hills and more bike stations open by e.g. subway stations and that they're opened out everywhere not just the usual areas
