Definitely use sealant.

@CYOA Places like Fowey and possibly Lostwithiel could be worth looking at (depends how small town/village you want to go). They're in Cornwall but close enough to Par train station which is 4 hours to London. Only 40 mins West of Plymouth by car I think too and right next to the Eden Project which is immense at all times are the year.

This interview with Tom DeLonge has all levels of weirdness in it: http://pca.st/kgD3

Saw a chap riding a nice looking black fixed Dodici last night -skipping red lights like a boss.

Our "town hall" has been re-branded to a "huddle".

The St Andrews building has bike racks out the front which are overlooked by the reception/security desk and are undercover. I've left my bike there a few times with no problems. It is a 5 min walk to Gilmorehill though...

@giles337 yeah if you still have it I wouldn't mind a bash. See what all the fuss is about!
-
@dicki the close of a tenement is just the steps leading to the flat doors from a main door. So, its all indoors but with stone floors/steps etc it can get cold and sometimes it can be a little dark (if there is no sunshine, which does happen in Glasgow).
The leaves are a much darker brown than that and look less "crispy"!

I have a cheese plant which I've had for about 3 months. In the last month the leaves have stared to go dark brown and quite "floppy" - its kept out in a close of a tenement so its not super warm, but not freezing cold. It doesn't get direct sunlight and some days it can be quite dark in there - I water it about twice a week when the soil feels dryish.
Does anyone know what it might be and how I can help the thing survive.

@Drano the bob jackson is mine. I work in that building. The belt driven Trek is pretty cool. I've ridden back to the west end with that guy and he nails that thing

motion captured cat action using a raspberry pi on their cat flap and it tweets a picture of the cat coming in and out

@Tenderloin yeah I have a mate who's using them for his kitchen. Will report back when done to see how good they are.

Not sure if ply is still a "thing" - but these folks do some quite nice stuff that you can use with your ikea kitchen: https://www.plykea.xyz/

Chap with orange track bike at Queens Street Station last night. Trés wide bars and braklezz. Dem the cool kidz.

hey @Spxtz welcome to Glasgow too!
If you're working at the Uni and need a bike shop you've got Gear Bikes on Gibson St. I don't know the Crosshill area but I have heard good things about Willie Bain.
I'm in the West End and am often riding around near the Uni on a red Bob Jackson. Holla if you see me.

I agree, solid wood is great. it just takes a bit of care and drying surfaces etc after getting water on it. We've had ours in for over a year and they still look brand new.
@motoko we have a ceramic sink like this:
lots of sealant around the edges so water/liquids don't get underneath and its fine.
-
@motoko yeah I've installed two worktops through worktop express now, both solid oak and no problems with either. They even give you the offcuts which I am planning to get made in shelving and chopping boards.
The first one I did I opted to do a sink / oven cuts myself. The second one I got them to do it as it was a horrible task (with a shit jigsaw). I measured the space about 10 times and got my wife and anyone I could to double check and put everything through their online system. The only thing I can say is that if you get solid wood it is heavy as f*ck. We're on the second floor of a Glasgow tenement and the delivery guys won't carry things upstairs, just have some burly friends ready to help to lift things as its not fun on your own.
-
@aggi I've ordered a few worktops through http://www.worktop-express.co.uk/ (solid oak ones) they are really good at cutting to bespoke requirements and pretty good value. I had some complicated cuts and was really nervous but they were great and it came through perfect.

I'm working up the requirements for a bathroom refurb and have come across these taps, which I really like. But, they're mad expensive. After some searching I can't really find anything similar - anyone got any good tap links I might be able to buy some schweet antique brass faucets?

+1 on what Soul said. Its only fair to let people know what might be left in the property. The shit that got left in a flat I bought a few years back was beyond a joke and it made that "wooo our new home" vibe a lot duller than it should have been.
