Silverburn and Pollok Civic Realm

[brigo]

can i ask a question directed at anyone whos been in the Civic Realm...

Does this building inlude fitness facilitys? - like a gym or anything like that...

[Peekay]

I never saw any equipment anywhere(I was all over the entire building), but there is a couple of rooms at the side of the pool that look likely candidates(one being the room the Dolphin is in) that that's what they'll get turned into. Essentially the Civic Realm half is nearly good to go but the leisure centre half is still a manky building site.

In fact, the more I think about it the more I reckon that's what one or both these room will be used for.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see this? Was this changed by a tongue-in-cheek moderator after everyone decided it was too commercial? I'm completely baffled - other people (Fossil) have quoted it but it still says whores and curtains (but strangely his quote says 100% discount - seems an odd thing to go editing). Maybe it's just because it's late but I can't get my head round it - I can understand if one of the HG regulars made a new account to post this daft post, but Onyirtodd made a reasonable response as though he read as a straight post, and fourbytwo, who normally seems quite straight-laced (in the nicest possible way!) seems to have taken offence to the corporate-ness.

Help! Am I losing it?!

The link was changed in the original post. It's fairly obvious from what, though.

Sense is restored in my wee brain.

Alex after looking at your photies I had visions of you with your lycra outfit on giving it pelters on the cycling machine reading a book.

Visited Silverburn on Sunday. We had to park waaaaaay out at the far end as it was mobbed so went in at M&S and tracked all along to the far end where we got some shopping in Tesco. By this time it was dark and pissing down so in a display of chivalry i offered to go get the car from 3 miles back that way and collect the gf at tesco with the shopping. This would save us pushin the barrow through the center and then all the way back!

I drove along to the car park, and as it was dark and wet i couldnt really see the road markings that clearly. I signalled to pull into what i thought was a 2 lane right turn at the front of tesco, little realising it was in fact the taxi lane. I had been there for no more than 10 seconds trying to turn back out on to my own lane, when a silver people carrier taxi pulled up at my right, bxing me in. A second taxi (there were none in front of me or beind as i turned into this lane) pulled right up behind me and i was stuck. I then had 1 of the drivers out his car and up at mine shouting and swearing - 'is this the first fucking time youve been here pal?' etc. The wee trolley guy from tesco came over to calm things down and they left, i pulled away round the corner to hopefully park and get the trolley.

The tesco guy was saying to the gf that they get aggressive and OTT when this sort of thing happens. It is absolutely unbelieveable that they can act this way, in a public place over such a minor traffic infrinegement. needless to say we will think twice before shopping there again.

That is shocking, but not entirely surprising of some taxi drivers. Too many of these guys get away with dreadful driving, no manners - either on the road or person to person, and downright aggression. Take their number and make an official complaint to the company, or Licensing Board.
Fortunately, there are nice drivers out there too.
But I'm not surprised you got a bit confused in that car park; I've noticed it's quite dimly lit, which isn't helped by rainy weather.

Use the multi storey car park, it's always half empty & gives easy access to the shops.
