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.

Hi All, I came to Glasgow for a language course, and every…read moreday I walk by the river Clyde bridge "squiggly" to the city and I have before me the building where the logo of British Telecommunications. Looking at this building with the logo of BT something was missing. I came to the conclusion that there under the logo BT is the perfect place for a clock. "I put" under the logo dial of a clock and is now a full picture. If you would happen to the other side of the river and it turns 360 degrees is in sight you do not see any clock. The clock will look every day thousands of eyes watching the BT logo, because the same logo that catches the eye is not a people today often control the time. This seems to dim the expense in relation to BT's spending on advertising, sending visualization attached. What do you think? Thank you for your attention and affection I greet, Kostas B. Baltadzis

This has to be the absolute worst service provided by a telecoms provider in the UK!…read more I placed an order for BT Infinty in March 2015, after being given two separate connection dates, both of which cost me a day off work and on both no engineer bothered to turn up and BT didn't bother letting me know that no one was going to turn up. Eight weeks later and they're still passing the buck between themselves and BT Openreach. Do yourself a favour and get fibre broadband from a reliable provider

A bit more intelligent than the tits and telly of The Sun or The Daily Star, The Metro is fairly…read moredecent read, and enough to make you forget the depressing fact that you're travelling by bus. Their music / film sections concentrate on less mainstream releases, and some sections, particularly the letters, have a very "quirky" feel, for want of a better word, which I'm sure some people like but i just find a bit annoying. The sport section is far weaker than the other daily rags. Still, it's free though, so can't grumble.

The Metro is the highlight of any commuting experience in Glasgow. Indeed, when I step on a…read moretrain/bus/subway to find there are none left, I descend into a rage which never quite abates for the rest of the day. The news articles are nothing special; pretty much a rewrite of the wires. But it's the features where The Metro truly shines; as well as the daily "Guilty Pleasures" section, a celebrity gossip update which delivers pretty much what is says on the tin, the newspaper regularly publishes indepth and interesting interview with top film directors, writers and actors; recent interviewees have been Clint Eastwood, Christian Slater and Ricky Gervais. And whoever came up with the 60 Second Interview deserves a knighthood as far as I am concerned.

This trinity of west coast media have been in operation together for years though sadly massive, MASSIVE, cuts have saw a significant decline in content. Newsquest Herald & Times was in the news as it fired all of the staff and made everyone reapply and since this event 2 years ago the papers have never been the same. A good friend of mine worked as an intern at The Herald over the summer and now no longer wants to be a journalist. Given that he worked hard at university to achieve this goal this really does highlight how bad things must be here. Reports of a small army (up to 12 at one time) working away for no pay, or even travel expenses, reflect a dire state of affairs. You can buy the Herald (80p) Monday - Friday, the Glasgow Evening Times (45p) Monday - Saturday and the Sunday Herald (£1) on a... well take a wild guess!

The four stars are for The Herald newspaper, not for the state of the business. I too have heard…read morebad things about the working conditions, but this has not stopped the staff from producing a splendid daily paper that is Scottish in reach but Glaswegian in identity. What most impresses me about The Herald is that it manages to support artists far more directly than the English magazines: the criticism is healthy and robust, and far more resources are put into covering emerging artists than in other papers. I avoid the sports pages- a bit more speedway would be nice- but enjoy the comment. That is not to say I ever endorse the opinions...

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.

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.

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.

II LOVE THE BIG ISSUE…read more The idea is simple; you buy the magazine from a homeless or vulnerable person so they are able to earn an income with dignity. In exchange, you receive a top-quality magazine that is worth every penny. The content is fantastic and for £1.50 you get access to quality investigative journalism, arts, culture, music and current affairs. The work of Adam Forrest and Vicky Davidson is particular note worthy. The Big Issue is also Scotland's biggest weekly current affairs and entertainment magazine. Over 170,000 buy this gem every week which gives homeless and vulnerable people £127,500 extra money week in week out. If you look at this over a year it comes to nearly 6.5 million pounds (£6,630,000 to be exact). Copies are on sale across the city from hundreds of vendors who buy their magazines for half the price. Popular pick up spots are outside big shopping centres, transport stops and busy streets- you wont have to look very hard. GENIUS stuff and it is out every Monday!

I'm not really sure how to rate this one. On one hand, I know that it gives homeless people a…read morechance to get some money back together and start on the long road back to employment, so to that effect it's a worthwhile cause to support.. Reading it however, is another story. Lately it seems overcome with celebrity gossip and articles that feel like cut and pastes from the Metro. I also find the tone a bit grating. It's all fine and well for a middle class journalist to lecture me about poverty, but perhaps giving some more of the magazine over to the actual homeless people to air their views, rather than the frankly patronising poetry section they're usually reduced to, wouldn't go amiss. If I'm going to be really controversial, I'd also suggest the Big Issue are actually a little bit stingy in only giving half of the cover price to the sellers. I don't believe for a second the paper costs 70p per copy to produce. Despite my criticisms, when I see the blind girl outside Central Station selling them, or the sad looking guy with the beard at Charing Cross, I can't criticise it too harshly, and so will still recommend you buy it when you can.
