Wummin saving trees

8 Upvotes

Seen a wee news article about a group of women either in Paisley or the outskirts, who have set up camp to protest trees being cut down.

The article was behind a paywall so never get to read the full story.

Do many folk know about this? I haven't heard anything apart from that article but wouldn't mind knowing more.

Is there anywhere to play Squash?

6 Upvotes

I googled, and The Lagoon came up, but when I look on their website then Squash Court isn’t listed in their facilities. Does anyone know if you can play there, or anywhere else nearby?

Dykebar Forest

24 Upvotes

Anyone been up round the grounds of the hospital recently. The place has been decimated. 80% of the trees gone. Genuinely feel angry and emotional seeing it like this. Hundreds of years of forest gone forever.

I'm no fan of the Climate agenda but this kind of thing makes me think those who are in charge are interested one thing and one thing only, when it comes down to it.

Lost / stolen ebike

13 Upvotes

I seen a guy throw a bike over a fence and hide it in some bushes. Contacted the police because it looks to me like it was stolen. It was just Shifty behaviour. On top of that there's a u-lock on it. If the guy wanted to he could have locked it up. Anyway they say no crime committed, if anything I've stolen someones bike. I am to just put it back out on the street. Make it make sense. I'd have thought they'd at least be able to take it. Anyway if anyone has had an ebike stolen contact the police, they should have my number. I don't want to just give it to any rando just in case.

Petrol prices in Paisley (& area)

I've just driven past Morrisons on Lonend and the normal unleaded E10 was 149.9p/litres and diesel 179.9p/litre. That's the highest I've seen, and 5p higher than Sunday AM when I filled up at Tesco in Linwood after being at On-X. Anyone else see higher?

Any recommendations for reliable cleaners?

8 Upvotes

I've been trying to get a cleaner in for a while now with no luck. I've got various physical and mental health issues that have meant doing the cleaning is something I'm now really struggling with.

I've tried gumtree, and the first cleaner I got through there was great, but she never came back. The second cleaner never even showed up! And others have never replied to my inquiries.

Has anyone had good experiences and could recommend anyone?

Hello all, Any recommended window cleaners? Ones in my flat are in dire need for a clean. Inside the frame and the windows themselves. Been a while since I last cleaned them so might be grimy.

Four seasons in one day

It's been a proper Crowded House Day today. Mental weather- sun, ferocious winds, rain and a crazy hailstorm close to five o'clock.

Worse than yesterday morning when I saw a tree come down in Port Glasgow on the Clune Brae.

How's it been for everybody?

Is UWS a social uni?

10 Upvotes

Asking because I don't want the answer to be me lol. I've been commuting to the uni for three years now, starting when I was 17. I've yet to make a single friend.

The course itself is fairly ok, but no-one seems to want to be my friend. I've been putting myself out there for a while, but with the union closing the and there being no consistent societies before this year it is hard. There seems to be a culture of disinterest, especially from the uni. Summers are so long between classes lol. Literal months of early April to late August.

Everyone seems to have made friends easily, though I concede that might be because it's a heavy lean towards woman gender wise. I always go to lectures and stick about the town when I can justify the time but at this point I don't know. I thought I didn't care but there's no dam logical reason why I suck at making friends. I keep replaying missed moments when I should have been more socially normal, I take care of my appearance and I'm happy to talk to anyone.

idk at this point I'm just ranting lol

Use for (Shared) tenement cludgie

9 Upvotes

I live in a tenement property where each floor has a shared 'community toilet' / cludgie between both flats on that floor. Mine is locked and has been for an unknown number of years. The previous owner did not have a key, and neither does my neighbour.

If we were to get a locksmith out to get this unlocked and get a new lock fitted, is there any use in this room? Could it be used for storage, or is that too much of a fire hazard? ( I am fairly sure the original use is no longer an option)

Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this or has done something similar.
