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.

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 Clydebank Post may be many things, but boring is not one of them…read more While other local papers are afraid to go against the grain and tend to concentrate on more family-friendly stories, the Post pokes and prods local organisations and has remained an entertaining read despite the undeniable shifting of the goalposts in local media. Being honest, the most popular pages are undoubtedly the court reports, which allow local gossips to see which of their acquaintances are in the dock this week. As my fellow Yelper said, an appearance in these pages is regarded as a badge of honour for some folks.

The print media is dead apparently. However, I'm willing to bet the Clydebank Post will outlive us…read moreall, along with cockroaches. It's a very popular local newspaper due to the amount of really bad stuff that happens in the Clydebank Area. For example, here's a quick overview of headlines in the past two weeks * Anger over beast's visits: A SEX offender fighting deportation has been spotted regularly in a Clydebank estate, sparking fury from an angry resident. * Our tots are not cash cows': FURIOUS parents - protesting against a hike in childcare charges - are dressing their children up as COWS to lobby councillors tonight. * Racists attacked shopkeeper wearing Klan hoods: A PAIR of thugs dressed up like members of the Ku Klux Klan before slashing an Asian shopkeeper's face. * Mother of evil: A MUM'S evil nature has been blamed for breeding the violence that led to the murder of a man in a brutal street attack. Bear in mind these are only stories from the newspaper in the last two weeks! I am mystified as to how to post is allowed to get away with taking photos of criminals as they leave the court. And I am even more mystified as to why many of the criminals pose for the photographer. I guess they must just see their photo in the Clydebank Post.

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.

A decent enough free sheet which is capable of bagging some high profile interviews and churning…read moreout the odd good feature for students, its primary target audience. 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.

This really is a specialist publication, although in the football mad city, it has a wide…read morereadership. 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.

The Celtic View is essentially Pravda for the green and white minded of the city. 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.
