I Was Having Trouble With My Boiler, Until Plumbtec24 Arrived

My boiler had been on the fritz for the past few months, hot water would stop intermittently, the water pressure was low and it made very loud noises sometimes. I had a few ‘boiler specialists’ look at it time and again and only found a temporary fix every time, the boiler would inevitably get worse again, until Plumbtec24 serviced it that is.

Plumbtec24 caught my eye while searching for boiler servicing on Google and their website made them sound great, but I thought I would phone them up to see what they were really all about.

After getting off the phone with Plumbtec24, I was much more optimistic about finally fixing my boiler for good; they said they could send out a gas engineer the same day! I eagerly waited on the engineer arriving as I couldn’t wait to have this hassle over with.

The engineer arrived and was very pleasant, he began servicing the boiler and telling me exactly what was wrong with it. I was surprised a boiler serviceman was actually being so clear and straight with his answers for once, it was at that point I knew Plumbtec24 were different from your average everyday boiler and plumbing company.

The engineer told to me start the hot water after some tinkering and voila! Everything was working as intended. 5 months later and my boiler is still working perfectly, no hot water cutting out, no loud noises, and the water pressure in perfectly tuned.

I would recommend Plumbtec24 to all my friends as they were the only one who managed to fix my problem, hats off to them! If you are ever in need of a plumber of boiler service, these are the guys to call: www.plumbtec24.co.uk

Glasgow's Growth

The next few years are set to be quite the growth for Glasgow. With so many construction projects in the
pipeline and planned, we're in for some great new designs and facilities.

First off is the new developments taking place in Glasgow Queen street station. The project is will feature a much more accessible and attractive train station with more retail opportunities. It will be able to accommodate more people, more trains and will have an entrance facing George Square. £120 million pounds has went into this project and we're certainly excited for it.

Next we have Glasgow Caledonian University campus, it's being redeveloped with a budget of £30 million pounds. They're alling it the "Heart of the Campus project" and they hope to create much more effective learning areas and much more accessible and enjoyable social areas. Work begins in Summer 2014 and many students are anticipating something great, as are we.

Lastly we have a new Strathclyde University building nearing completion on George Street. This has been under construction for some time now and a previous building had to be demolished to make room for this new development. The building is looking very nice and we're hoping to find out exactly what it will be used for soon.

The Humble Bundle

If you're a PC gamer, there's no doubt you've heard of the Humble Bundle, if you haven't then you definitely should.

Humble Bundle is a website that let's you donate money to charities, game developers and publishers (Any of your choice) for a package of different games on offer that week. All you have to do is donate the minimum of $1 and you can get multiple games worth much, much more. You can also choose to pay over the average donation and get added bonuses and more games, which is still a massive bargain!

Often bundles will have some sort of theme or will showcase one particular developer or publisher. This means there'll be up to sometimes 9 games on offer from one particular company which you can pay next to nothing for. Humble Bundle say their reason for making the games "Pay What You Want" and so simple to buy is to encourage people to buy the games while doing something good by donating to charity while also discouraging video game piracy. 

Sales have shown Humble Bundle to be very successful, raising millions of dollars, which a lot of goes to different good causes. You can't argue with cheap prices for games, get over there!

Below you can see the famous Youtuber Pewdiepie endorsing a past weekly Humble Bundle, he explains how it works and where the money goes:


Adblock - A Nightmare for Advertising

Adblock, the ad-blocking plugin , as it's name suggests, for internet browsers that makes exploring the internet devoid of annoying pop-ups and flashy banner ads. It has become almost a norm to have this installed in our Chrome, Firefox and almost any browser nowadays. 

Surfing the internet is great without ads taking up bandwidth, however there is some controversy in using this software. Often you can see text banners on the top of some websites saying things like "Please support *insert website name here* by turning off your Adblock". This is because websites that don't charge for whatever they offer are making their money from visitors clicking on their ads, and if no-one sees those ads, no money will be made. This can read to websites shutting down or bring forced to give their service a price. So you can see why Adblock can be seen by some to have drawbacks.

It seems as if some websites who exist to make a profit will meet their demise from Adblock and some will have to adapt and find new ways to make money through alternative means. Either way, Adblock has become a hero of the people and it will seemingly only become more and more popular, it's already the most widely used internet browser plugin.
