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.

Small but useful town centre newsagent. I went in there to buy a newspaper the other day and was…read morepleased to find that you can have a second, different, newspaper of your choice half price! You can buy tobacco products, chilled soft drinks, groceries, confectionery and some household products. You will also find Polish and Russian foods. There were lots of special offers on different things when I was there as well as the half-price paper; for example, £1 for a can of juice with a packet of crisps. Open 8.00am-6.30pm every day except Sunday when the opening hours are 10.00am-4.30pm.

I often use this post office as it's handy, being sandwiched between the car park and town, if I…read moredon't want to walk all the way down to the main PO in John Finnie St. Sometimes there's a bit of a queue as there's only one person behind the counter. The young woman who has served me lately is very helpful and always greets people with a smile and a friendly word or two. Besides PO business you can buy greetings cards, a postcards, confectionery, newspapers and magazines.

Some reductions being offered at the moment if you buy three of something (chocolate bars, for instance). It's a nice friendly shop too and the two ladies serving there this afternoon couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The shop is found just just inside the indoor mall opposite Aulds.

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!

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 left the shop, drove away from my parking space just along the street and stopping at the lights at the top of John Finnie St realised I had not taken the cigarettes. I drove right round the one way system, parked (again) and went in to the shop to collect the forgotten cigarettes. The shopkeeper denied I had left them. This person was not the nice honest trader I have come to expect ( and is usual ) in Kilmarnock! Would have given 0 stars if that was an option!
