  • Oh great, thanks so much! by Broxy712 (Sun 21st Jul 2019 5:31pm)

  • I’m so so sorry, this is absolutely heartbreaking. Please take care. by Broxy712 (Tue 15th Oct 2019 1:26pm)
  • Christmas present pressure, then you panic and buy a load of shit. by Broxy712 (Fri 29th Nov 2019 1:52pm)
  • Poor thing! i've seen you've reported it, good on you. by Broxy712 (Fri 24th Jul 2020 2:44pm)
  • Fuck sake better make the most of it then. by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 11:39am)
  • Hopefully, yeah I remember that, it was always scorching when we had to go back to school by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 11:40am)
  • Pffff more like ‘taps aff’ by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 12:58pm)
  • Jeezo it was that much? I didn’t even notice it because I was shielding but now I’ve been let loose I need some vitamin d by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 1:07pm)
  • Please link this, sounds crazy by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 1:16pm)
  • Not when you’ve been shielding and now been let loose by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 1:34pm)
  • Yeah I know what you mean, just comfortable. But past few weeks I have been feeling cold enough I’ve been tempted to put the heating on. by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 1:35pm)
  • Scorcher, make the most of it! by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 1:54pm)
  • Gutted, actually nearly put the heating on the last few day, I’ve been freezing by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 3:01pm)
  • I can’t remember it, I was shielding. Just been looking forward to some summer weather now we can go out and about. by Broxy712 (Thu 30th Jul 2020 3:50pm)
  • >Happy Cake Day! by Broxy712 (Fri 31st Jul 2020 1:38pm)
  • Surprised, I didn’t say I was surprised, I know what the Glasgow weather is like, I was just having a wee joke. It’s not every year we’re locked up for half the summer, a lot of us have been shielding so it could’ve been snowing for all we knew, so I don’t see the harm in wishing for a wee bit of sun when we can now venture outside. Fact checkers always pishing on everything. by Broxy712 (Sat 1st Aug 2020 10:01am)
  • All these Sean Batty’s coming on “it was actually sunny on May 26th at 3pm” fuck sake, it was a joke. Not every year we’re locked up half the summer. by Broxy712 (Sat 1st Aug 2020 10:08am)
  • Might be a bit far but have you tried Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue or The Underheugh Ark Rescue or Tribe Animal Sanctuary Scotland. by Broxy712 (Sun 2nd Aug 2020 11:20am)
  • Totally! by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 1:42pm)
  • Oh yeah I remember her parents doing an appeal when she went missing, that was so horrific too. I totally get where you're coming from with comparing, it's frightening. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 1:41pm)
  • Yes that was her. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 1:47pm)
  • Yes, that was one of the stories on the programme and they were trying to link him to Bible John. When you look at him he looks so insignificant yet he done so much evil. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 1:46pm)
  • Thanks for the recommendation, I need to check it out. I think I vaguely remember that case, did they have her on cctv or something in a shop? You definitely think it will never happen. I used to go out with the dog alone at night but a girl got gang raped up one of the closes nearby and totally freaked me out. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 1:58pm)
  • I just looked that case up...wow brutal. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 2:10pm)
  • I have never heard of that Willie McRae one, that's really interesting to read. I remember the Barry Wallace murder because I remember my friend telling me about a head that was found on the beach near where she lived, that was gruesome. Haha... the sausage roll one, mental. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 3:10pm)
  • I'll never forget the Kriss Donald murder, horrifying. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 5:39pm)
  • oh yeah, no one was ever caught for that? I remember at the time it was all over the newspapers. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 5:41pm)
  • That must've been fucking terrifying for you and only 17! I looked that case up, I've never heard of it before and it was so upsetting to read. by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 5:44pm)
  • It was on BBC Scotland - David Wilson’s Crime Files by Broxy712 (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 11:47pm)
  • Fuck creepy! by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:21am)
  • Yes, that was fucking horrific by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:28am)
  • Oh brilliant! by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:27am)
  • That’s so heartbreaking, what happened? by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:33am)
  • I remember the Eleni Pachou case all over the papers, I think it happened around the same time as another murder, maybe the Tobin one because they were both everywhere. So heartbreaking by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:32am)
  • Wtf! by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:37am)
  • Mental, how you just don’t know someone really. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:35am)

  • I was in Primary as well and I remember a lot of things changing, buzzers put in, changing doors etc. Terrifying and we probably didn’t even comprehend what was going on. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:43am)
  • Jeezo! The country is mental by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:41am)
  • Oh yeah Dennis Nilsen, that one is fucked up. Casefile podcast recently done a 3 parter about him, I’ve not listened to it yet though. I can’t believe you interacted with these creeps, so scary especially the Grindr killer guy. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:40am)
  • I’ve never heard about that case before, frightening it happened during the day and no one was caught! by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:49am)
  • Oh fuck, really. Thank goodness though they had cctv. I think the Queen’s Park hotel had him on cctv outside the park. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:47am)
  • Ok I wish I never looked that one up! by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:54am)
  • Oh yeah I vaguely remember this case, I need to read more about it again. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:52am)
  • Oh jeez that was brutal to read, so sad. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 11:50am)
  • >Yes, that was awful what happened to Paige, i think about that case a lot too. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:43pm)

  • Yes omg, I remember when this happened, i couldn't stop thinking about it, what a horrifying case, makes me sick. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:54pm)
  • I remember this, what poor soul, fucking awful. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:53pm)
  • Yeah that's a well known one, so creepy and its still unsolved. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:51pm)
  • Ok that was frightening, they even had it on Crimewatch. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:50pm)
  • That's brutal, poor boy going home to find her dead and then finding out his classmates did it, jeez. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:57pm)
  • I'll need to check it out, it's so well known and I feel I don't even know that much about it. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 3:55pm)
  • Fuck he used a dumbbell!!! I remember that one about the wee boy, it was baffling and so heartbreaking. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 4:02pm)
  • I didn't know any of this, only thing i did know about Rottenrow was I was born in the hospital. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 4:08pm)
  • When I looked this up, I do remember it and all the cctv footage too. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 4:06pm)

  • oh wow that's crazy to think you were right there, so near it when it was happening, so heartbreaking. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 8:42pm)
  • That was one of the ones I saw on the programme I watched, so crazy, he was trying to pin it on the husband. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 8:39pm)
  • That was really interesting and really fishy, something off about the captain. Poor family though. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 8:45pm)
  • Fucking hell, your Granda is a hero, he probably did save someone since we know now what a psychopath Manuel was. by Broxy712 (Tue 4th Aug 2020 8:55pm)
  • Haha awww i love this! by Broxy712 (Wed 19th Aug 2020 2:44pm)

  • Thank you, i'll check them out! by Broxy712 (Wed 28th Apr 2021 5:08pm)
  • I've only really read Glasgow crime books like Murder Capital - Reg McKay, some shocking stories in there and also one I found really interesting, it goes quite far back like 19th century crime (I mentioned on here before) Glasgow: The Real Mean City: True Crime and Punishment in the Second City of the Empire - Malcolm Archibold by Broxy712 (Wed 28th Apr 2021 5:08pm)
  • Haha sounds quite interesting, it comes up quite a lot when i'm searching, I think i'll have to take a look. by Broxy712 (Wed 28th Apr 2021 5:10pm)

  • Thank you! Yes I totally understand and glad they are doing home checks. Just didn’t know what to expect but feel more confident now 😀 by Broxy712 (Mon 10th May 2021 7:33pm)
  • Thank you and i'm so sorry for your loss too, I can't even imagine losing two within a short space of time so heartbreaking. My heart breaks for the lockdown puppies, it's actual crazy how many people have got dogs in the last year. I would seriously consider fostering a dog but it would need to be in the future, my circumstances are not ideal just now. I really do hope to get another dog one day. Thanks again. by Broxy712 (Tue 11th May 2021 7:19pm)
  • Thank you so much! This is really helpful. by Broxy712 (Tue 18th May 2021 1:32pm)
  • Love the look of your stuff, added to my favourites. I'll need to make an order. I did get a surprise when I opened you page and was greeted by a dick candle right away!! 😂 by Broxy712 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 1:32pm)
  • I was wondering the same thing, ours just disappeared a few months ago. by Broxy712 (Mon 28th Jun 2021 5:57pm)
  • Brilliant news, I hope he doesn't get them back! by Broxy712 (Wed 15th Sep 2021 6:37pm)
  • There’s some info you might find useful in this article >>> https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/19964169.amp/ by Broxy712 (Thu 3rd Mar 2022 12:57pm)
  • Thank you, yes this is what worries me! by Broxy712 (Tue 12th Apr 2022 8:08pm)
  • Thank you! by Broxy712 (Tue 12th Apr 2022 8:07pm)
  • Thank you, good idea. by Broxy712 (Tue 12th Apr 2022 8:07pm)
  • I did they told me to contact my local housing association, which I did. Thanks for the info by Broxy712 (Tue 12th Apr 2022 8:07pm)
  • Thanks so much for this! by Broxy712 (Tue 12th Apr 2022 8:11pm)

  • I have, I’m not crying for attention. I’m looking for advice! by Broxy712 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 12:39pm)
  • Thank you so much for all this, so helpful! by Broxy712 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 5:51pm)
  • Wow 2 years!! I’m glad you eventually got it sorted. Honestly I appreciate your advice so much. by Broxy712 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 5:55pm)
  • Honestly, I appreciate this, thank you so much! by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 12:03pm)
  • Hi, yes I do have a worker but tbh no one has been that helpful all I’m getting is lists of housing associations and told to try as many as possible. It’s been 2 months and I’ve not had any glimmer of hope so that’s why I’m trying areas I’m not familiar with because I am so desperate. I’m only really familiar with the Southside so know where I like and where to avoid. Can I ask did your friend have supporting letters and who from? by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 12:21pm)
  • Funny you mention them, I just phoned them to send me out a form. Thank you by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 12:34pm)
  • Thanks, I’m just off the phone to the OT and asked her to send me a letter of support out because quite a few applications ask for this. by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 12:49pm)
  • Haha this made me laugh. Thanks so much I’ll take a look! by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 1:12pm)
  • I’m glad they managed to sort you out with something. They did say there wasn’t much available but would send me a form any way, worth a shot! by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 1:11pm)
  • Oh wow that’s good to know! Thank you so much, I appreciate it. You never know, you might get a new neighbour by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 2:10pm)
  • Ok that’s good to know, thank you! by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 2:37pm)
  • Thanks so much for this! by Broxy712 (Fri 17th Jun 2022 5:59pm)
  • This application was an online one and others I phoned the housing associations and they sent one out. I’m sorry to hear your situation, I’ve not even heard if I’m on any lists yet, everything is taking a long time! by Broxy712 (Sat 18th Jun 2022 6:33pm)
  • Ok thanks for that, I’m not really familiar with those areas by Broxy712 (Sat 18th Jun 2022 6:30pm)
  • Thank you, ex hire is a good shout i never thought of that. by Broxy712 (Sat 17th Sep 2022 1:59pm)
  • Thanks, he managed to get one in a charity shop! by Broxy712 (Sat 17th Sep 2022 11:58pm)
  • Not in Edinburgh by Broxy712 (Sun 18th Sep 2022 8:27am)
  • The Prince & Princess Of Wales Hospice Shop in Rutherglen by Broxy712 (Sun 11th Dec 2022 10:08am)
  • The young team! Highly recommend by Broxy712 (Mon 26th Dec 2022 12:31pm)
  • Amazing news, you must be so relieved by Broxy712 (Thu 27th Apr 2023 10:50pm)
  • This is great advice and so true by Broxy712 (Mon 19th Jun 2023 1:42pm)
  • Hahaha I love her by Broxy712 (Fri 7th Jul 2023 1:42pm)
