Hey @eems

what are your favourite and least favourite things about glasgow?

#55

depends. most frequently I’ll have a small filter coffee with milk if they have it or an americano if they don’t, sometimes a flat white or if I don’t want too much caffeine but want a brew to go with a ciggie I might have a green tea.

it’s a good question to which the truest answers are extremely generic but they are true and I am trying to be a man of truth.
favourite: friendly people who are game for a laugh.
least favourite: the weather/winter daylight hours

supplementary info: another thing which is both favourite and least favourite is how things are not obvious. Like it’s not the kind of place you can visit and easily find all the best stuff happening, you have to slowly get to know it and find out where the good shit is. I like this because it’s more fulfilling and the good shit in a place like that is normally better than the good shit in places where it’s obvious but least favourite because as a newcommer with a young family I have limited time to find it so meeting people and getting involved in shit has been slower than I’d like.

Hi @eems

How good is your mental arithmetic? Could you tell me what 23 x 17 is without using a calculator or written method?

#58

Quite poor I’d say but is the answer 391? I took about 3 mins to work that out but not sure if it’s correct at all.

interesting that you should say that as my sis has recently moved nback after living in london for the best part of 20 years, when she first moved back she was pissing and moaning constantly because she didn’t think there was much happening but over time she’s found loads of things/places and she’s starting to enjoy it a whole lot more because of that.

thanks for answering. :slight_smile:

Hello, DiS it Smee you’re looking for? That’s not the question by the way.

Who is your favourite Australian?

#61

That’s correct!

#62

FUCKING YEEEEEEEESS!

#63

woah that’s a toughie. literally no-one pops into my mind. toadie is OK I guess. Shane Warne is probably quite funny. I’m not an Austraphile at all to be quite frank.

#64

I did (23x10)+(23x7) in my head FYI, would massively struggle if it was two numbers over 20.

#65

I went for (23x20)-(23*3)

#66

I’d have said (20 * 17) + (3 * 17) would be the easiest.

ooh yeah i like it. in retrospect what i actually did was (23x10)+((20x7)+(3x7))

#68

There’s a nifty trick that makes it quite simple to square any two digit number in your head, which would wow the crowds at parties, but this is your thread so I won’t spam it any more.

Hi @eems

If you could be any dinosaur, which dinosaur would you be and why?

How much Smee would a Smeechuck Smee if a Smeechuck could Smee Smee?

damn I should have been preparing for this question. I think my child self would admonish me for giving such a non-indie answer but I’m going with Diplodocus because one of my earliest memories is being totally wowed by that massive fake skeleton in the Natural History Museum and then begging my mum to take me back there every weekend.
