I went here recently when I had problems with my home computer to finish off some work I had to do…read more I have never been to an internet cafe in my life. It was super busy and full of mostly international students using email and the usual stuff. They didn't have the version of microsoft word I needed in order to do the tasks I had to do, so it was a waste of a journey for me and still had to pay £1 for 15 minutes even though I was there for approximately 3. The rates are reasonable but it is quite cramped inside with uncomfortable high chairs which are quite close to the person beside you which is awkward. Not as comfortable as a nice University library, which is what I'm used to.

It seems that all you crazy kids with your high falutin' smartphones and Blackberries and fax…read moremachines have made internet cafes obsolete. Most in Glasgow have folded; only Yeeha remains. So explained the fellow at Yeeha, anyway. On a Sunday afternoon I suddenly remembered I had to print out plane tickets for an insanely early Monday flight. So I was very grateful that Yeeha is open until 6pm on Sundays, an hour and a half later than the closest Staples. It doesn't look like much from the street, just a small sign that's easy to miss. Wear comfortable shoes for the two-storey climb upstairs. You may also wish to bring sanitary hand wipes; the keyboard I used was pretty grubby.

The Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter reports the news from, guess what, the Dumbarton and Vale…read moreof Leven areas. The newspaper covers some poverty stricken areas so it is not a "cats up trees" kind of publication. The newspaper shares an office with the Clydebank Post; both are owned by Clyde and Forth Press media group. The distance from Clydebank to Dumbarton means locals can't just pop in with the news or a photo of their grandson for the birthday section. The Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter also has a Twitter account with 100 followers.

Like all Clyde & Forth newspapers, you can expect the Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter to be a…read morelittle bit grittier than your average local rag. Rather than err on the side of caution, this paper thrives on the court watch scene which makes it a particularly good read for local gossips. The only problem is the fact it shares its office with the Clydebank Post, meaning it lacks a regular local presence on the streets of Dumbarton.

i-on Glasgow is the sister magazine of i-on Edinburgh. It's a lovely glossy lifestyle magazine that…read moreyou can pick up for FREE in various bars, restaurants and shops around the city. Inside the magazine you'll find a great selection of well written articles and glossy photographs documenting fashion, interior design, culture and local Glasgow events. You'll also find interviews with celebs (emphasis on Glaswegians). Businesses such as Mr Ben Vintage and Boudiche advertise with i-on, as it's a great way in which to reach the culture vultures of the city. Definitely pick up this little gem next time you see it sitting in the magazine rack at your local cafe!

The Milngavie and Bearsden Herald is a perfectly good local newspaper. You won't find cutting edge…read morenews stories in here - but you will find a good splattering of reporting on local events, local gossip and local people. It's also really cheap, which is reassuring in today's economy! The Milngavie and Bearsden Herald seems to share quite a large amount of their stories with the Kirkintilloch Herad - as identical articles/fillers seem to appear in both newspapers.

Rarely referred to it by its Sunday name, the M&B Herald is either the Milngavie Herald or the…read moreBearsden Herald depending on which of the areas you hail from. That's not to say you'll find yourself being threatened if you call it one in the other. After all, like most Johnson Press papers, these titles cover reasonably well-to-do areas where the biggest stories tend to involve community council's objections to portaloos and flower arranging contests. But the M&B Herald does its job well and when a big story does come up, the experienced team is generally up to the job. With decent sports coverage, including a section dedicated to Partick Thistle, this paper continues to do well in a difficult time for print media.

It is owned by Scottish…read moreand Universal Newspapers who own a number of local publications including The Lennox Herald and The Wishaw Press. It has all the usual local newspaper suspects such as births deaths and marriages. The newspaper also provides the most extensive coverage of the Hamilton Accies football team who play in the Scottish Premier League. The newspaper office is handily situated in the centre of Hamilton, close to the train station.

Better than average local paper which thankfully hasn't been affected too badly by the recent cuts…read moremade by its owners, Scottish and Universal Newspapers. This is because, while others have seen their face-to-face contact with the public eliminated by office closures, Hamilton is the location of the central office and as a result the Advertiser retains its local presence. As well as the usual fare, the paper excels with its well-informed sports coverage, particularly in terms of local side, Hamilton Accies. Despite being an SPL club, national exposure remains criminally sparse meaning the Advertiser's coverage is vital and well-deserved.

I've recently moved onto reading the broadsheets as papers like The Sun, while convenient, don't…read morenecessarily offer too much insightful journalism. They are however, quite entertaining. Unlike The Daily Record who hides it's sleazy gossip behind a family-friendly veil, or The Daily Star which features little more than reality TV news and pages upon pages of celebrity upskirt shots, The Sun can be genuinely good fun. From a photoshopped image of a puffin dropping it's muck on Berti Vogts after the 2002 Scotland - Faroe Islands debacle to the consistently offensive TV column by Ally Ross, it never fails to entertain, even if it doesn't educate. To that end, it's probably got a hand to play in the dumbing down of everything from politics to TV that's occured over the past few decades, but as long as it keeps giving the public their fix of sport, gossip and nudity, few will complain.

I must concur with my fellow Yelper, while there are many things to detest about the Sun newspaper,…read moreat least it's 100% unashamedly sleazy. Good journalism isn't completely missing but it's rare. Instead the Sun excels with its sports coverage, particularly of the lower football leagues, and its reliability when it comes to fantastic headlines. Super Caley Go Ballistic etc... was obviously its finest moment, but even when John Terry was caught being a naughty boy as recently as last week, it was the only paper which stepped up to the mark. "Surely some paper must use "A Bridge Too Far"", a friend of mine quipped. And alas, there it was. In the Sun. It's not big and it's not clever, but it does tend to raise a few more chuckles than its fellow comics.

It has been kicking around Glasgow for almost nine years now so it's obviously doing something right. Like all student publications, Scotcampus is prone to the odd cringeworthy feature, written by a contributor who will no doubt look back with overwhelming regret in the future, but it's still a good wee read to pick up in a pub or a cafe.

Like The Digger, it comes like a fanzine, but has well-written and considered articles on the Hoops, often displaying a fierce independent spirit and determinedly against any moves that takes the club away from the fans. It can also be a far more interesting read than the sports' pages of the nationals, as it takes a strong line on just about every issue connected to the team.

You can expect to…read moreread stories about how a new Asian signing used to fall asleep hugging a knitted doll of Peter Grant, how some fan has named his daughter Henrik and see pictures of celebrities wearing Celtic tops. Nevertheless, toeing the line has at least ensured it gets interviews that newspapers are unable to get and it should be commended for its thorough coverage of all age groups throughout the club. With the odd good feature as well, it's a decent read and one of the better club magazines in the UK market.
