  • Can we add wojtek the bear? They're one of my favourite bands cutting about Glasgow just now. by Chew55 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 9:54am)
  • Nice wee power cut to start the day this morning. Apparently most of Finnieston was off for a while. by Chew55 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 9:52am)
  • I have no idea who Chuck is... by Chew55 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 10:44am)
  • I see! I can confirm that I am not in that that band, I just quite like them. Saw them at tenement trail. by Chew55 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 10:48am)
  • My mate is a tight arsed bastard and he goes to Yorkhill barbers on old dumbarton road so I'm assuming they're cheap. His hair looks fine. ​ Briar Grove is meant to be decent as well but it might be slightly above your limit. by Chew55 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 3:47pm)
  • Kilmarnock isn’t even close to being in Glasgow. by Chew55 (Wed 9th Jan 2019 5:42pm)
  • It’s regional radio station is West FM though. I’d like to lodge an objection. by Chew55 (Wed 9th Jan 2019 6:37pm)
  • This x100. I’ve been on citalopram for anxiety for 2 and a half years and it made a massive difference. by Chew55 (Mon 21st Jan 2019 8:57pm)
  • Did you take that shortly after you disposed of the body? by Chew55 (Wed 23rd Jan 2019 10:33am)

  • Begbie isn't even from Glasgow. /r/Edinburgh for this pish. by Chew55 (Tue 12th Feb 2019 9:48am)
  • The stuff Mog did with Adam Holmes under the name Bang Dirty was quality. I like this track: https://bangdirty.bandcamp.com/track/when-the-story-unfolds by Chew55 (Fri 15th Feb 2019 9:59am)
  • There’s a shop in Finnieston just down from the Park Bar that was advertising it. I also noticed yesterday that they’re having a closing down sale, 25% off everything so you might be able to get it a bit cheaper. by Chew55 (Sun 17th Feb 2019 12:16pm)
  • There are a lot of Gaelic speakers round about Finnieston and Partick, it's where the Gaelic school is and a lot of the teuchter pubs. My girlfriend is from the western Isles and being around people she knows from home and drinking in pubs with a lot of other islanders I probably here it spoken on a weekly basis. by Chew55 (Tue 19th Feb 2019 9:54am)
  • A sign in Cambuslang that it's safe to leave your house again. by Chew55 (Fri 22nd Feb 2019 9:25am)
  • Are you pished? This reads like the post of someone who’s pished. by Chew55 (Thu 28th Feb 2019 10:48pm)
  • I like the teuchter pubs in Finnieston for a day time bevvy. The Islay or the Park Bar. by Chew55 (Thu 28th Feb 2019 10:49pm)
  • The Twilight fucking Sad. That is all. by Chew55 (Sun 3rd Mar 2019 11:09am)
  • Was in the Solid Rock for the first time in years last night. Can confirm it still has that nasty damp / shite smell. by Chew55 (Wed 13th Mar 2019 9:18am)
  • Orange MD, available at any good off license. by Chew55 (Thu 14th Mar 2019 8:56pm)
  • I grew up in Ayrshire as well (near Kilmarnock) and now that you mention it I probably say “ken” a lot less now than I used to. I don’t think anyone ever took the piss, it’s just slowly dropped from my vocabulary as most of my pals now are from Glasgow. The one that my pals at uni took the piss out of my me for was saying “gid” instead of “good”. by Chew55 (Tue 19th Mar 2019 8:20am)
  • He’s an unfunny wee edge-lord. by Chew55 (Tue 19th Mar 2019 6:18pm)
  • However, if you’re wearing colours you’re probably not going to get served in most pubs unless it’s somewhere like the Louden. by Chew55 (Mon 25th Mar 2019 9:58pm)
  • All that does is send out the request 15 mins before your booked time. It doesn't actually book anything, it just schedules when to ask for an available driver. by Chew55 (Thu 4th Apr 2019 9:47am)
  • I've been to a couple of them in London. They're actually not that bad when you're pished. My American mate fucking loves them. by Chew55 (Fri 5th Apr 2019 9:39am)
  • Who's that wee Joey Essex looking cunt that was about on Facebook for ages. Nathan something? by Chew55 (Fri 5th Apr 2019 9:40am)
  • That's the fucking one. by Chew55 (Fri 5th Apr 2019 9:59am)
  • http://www.glasgowtramsim.moonfruit.com/welcome/4514514121 I found this old website a while ago. A guy made a simulation of the whole team network on some team simulation software. by Chew55 (Sat 6th Apr 2019 3:12pm)
  • It’s an international celebration of record stores. People go out to record stores and buy vinyl, record shops will put on events and bands will put out limited edition records that can only be purchased in stores on that day. by Chew55 (Sat 13th Apr 2019 9:59am)
  • Probably just keeping an eye on Kelvingrove Park. Some cunts get a bit stabby after bevvying in the sun all day. by Chew55 (Fri 19th Apr 2019 5:28pm)
  • Are the NHL games not on a less mainstream channel in the UK? Freesports seems to ring a bell. That might make it more difficult because not all pubs carry that channel, a lot just have Sky and BT sports. by Chew55 (Tue 23rd Apr 2019 10:56am)
  • Last time I did it I ended up getting a taxi from Cairnryan into Stranraer and then jumped on a train to Glasgow. I'd rather do that than sit on a bus. by Chew55 (Fri 10th May 2019 9:25am)
  • The old schoolhouse on woodlands road was decent for the last one. 50/50 Rangers and Celtic fans, plenty of big TVs. by Chew55 (Sat 11th May 2019 6:56pm)
  • Most pubs in the west end are fairly neutral. by Chew55 (Sat 11th May 2019 6:56pm)
  • Loud and Clear in Finnieston should be able to help. by Chew55 (Sun 19th May 2019 6:39pm)
  • >have called to complain every week since the initial stop Depending on what part of the city your in your Councillors might be more use than complaining to the council, particularly if you're in part of the city that has Green Councillors. by Chew55 (Wed 22nd May 2019 10:03am)
  • There a few smaller villages in Ayrshire that are well connected to Glasgow by train. Dunlop springs to mind. by Chew55 (Fri 24th May 2019 9:40am)
  • Pub. by Chew55 (Sun 26th May 2019 2:45pm)
  • In hindsight they should have cancelled it the first time rather than try and move it to SWG3. by Chew55 (Tue 4th Jun 2019 5:48pm)
  • If you think the public transport here is the "Worst in the UK" you're going to get a shock if you ever move to other cities in the UK. by Chew55 (Wed 5th Jun 2019 9:44am)
  • I have the misfortune of being stuck in Edinburgh all weekend. Anyone know any good pubs for watching the football through here? My usual pubs are all teuchter pubs in Finnieston/Partick, so something with a similar vibe would be cool rather than a sports bar or whatever. by Chew55 (Sat 8th Jun 2019 11:13am)
  • Looks like Doctors is only 10 mins walk from where I’m staying. Might be a good shout! by Chew55 (Sat 8th Jun 2019 11:50am)
  • Edinburgh was actually quite good last night. Ended up in McSorley’s for the football and then Sandy Bell’s. First time I’ve had a night out here that’s not been dire. Am I allowed back to Glasgow? by Chew55 (Sun 9th Jun 2019 11:04am)
  • Glasgow was meant to be Philly in World War Z I think, so this wouldn’t have been used for that. It’s been NYC in other films though. by Chew55 (Mon 10th Jun 2019 9:42pm)
  • You might be interested in folk's comments the last time this was posted: [https://www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/comments/a2h55q/have\_any\_of\_you\_been\_unfortunate\_enough\_to\_have/](https://www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/comments/a2h55q/have_any_of_you_been_unfortunate_enough_to_have/) by Chew55 (Fri 14th Jun 2019 9:01am)
  • Just get one of your pals that no one really likes to gub one. If he doesn’t die after a couple of hours then you’re grand. by Chew55 (Sat 15th Jun 2019 6:11pm)
  • Platform at The Arches. by Chew55 (Sun 16th Jun 2019 10:56am)

  • Came in pished last night and bought a hundred quids worth of heavy metal band t-shirts online. Just what you’re needing for the roasting hot weather, some nice black t-shirts. by Chew55 (Sat 29th Jun 2019 10:15am)
  • It’s also worth noting that a lot of PTs know absolutely fuck all about weightlifting. by Chew55 (Sat 29th Jun 2019 2:15pm)
  • Do they not keep the bevvy up the back? Could be an advantage. by Chew55 (Wed 3rd Jul 2019 11:15am)
  • Do Basta not do a crispier sour dough style pizza? That’s my memory of it. by Chew55 (Sat 6th Jul 2019 1:21pm)
  • We’ll be able to understand you fine. Most people in Glasgow don’t mind repeating things more slowly for foreigners. We’re aware that our accent isn’t the easiest to understand if you’re not used to it. If you’re here for a long time then you’ll get used to it. One of my best mates is American and he can understand most of us speaking at full speed now. by Chew55 (Sun 14th Jul 2019 11:09am)
  • Apparently Sainsbury’s on Buchanan Street sell them. Someone posted about it on the Glasgow Kilmarnock Supporters Facebook group earlier today. by Chew55 (Tue 23rd Jul 2019 9:30pm)
  • Looks like the same wee guy that I saw outside the pub trying to square go about 20 adult men. After getting roundly laughed at he tried to get a fag for a joint. A wee legend. by Chew55 (Fri 26th Jul 2019 9:27am)
  • What the fuck are you talking about? by Chew55 (Fri 26th Jul 2019 5:56pm)
  • That’s smashing for ye by Chew55 (Fri 26th Jul 2019 6:03pm)
  • I organised mine for a few years and it's nothing but hassle. I will never complain about a Christmas lunch organised by anyone ever again. Always get folk moaning "I'm not really a fan of that place"/"How can we no go to place X?"/"That's too far away", others constantly asking you what they ordered then taking the wrong fucking thing anyway. And no cunt ever says thank you. To all readers, if you are at Christmas night out just sit there, eat your dinner, drink your drink and at the end say "thank you for organising that", even if you thought it was shite. by Chew55 (Mon 29th Jul 2019 1:12pm)
  • You probably want to get the northside ones cleaned as well or all the water will gather on one side and your house will tip over. by Chew55 (Tue 6th Aug 2019 7:51pm)
  • Who all got tickets for The Twilight Sad? That gig will be my fourth time seeing them this year and my 8th time overall. by Chew55 (Fri 9th Aug 2019 1:52pm)
  • I was on a stag do and we did the Harry Potter themed one at the place on hope street. It was good. by Chew55 (Fri 9th Aug 2019 6:24pm)
  • Broke up with my girlfriend the other day. Went on a wee bit of a bender last night. Still up, sitting in my living room feeling lonely as fuck with a bag of gear and a bottle of whisky. This was not how I envisaged this weekend would go troops. by Chew55 (Sat 10th Aug 2019 6:02am)
  • I appreciate the offer. Honestly I’m at the stage where anything that’s not more drink or coke is going to bring me closer to a horrible comedown which I’m trying to avoid at all costs. by Chew55 (Sat 10th Aug 2019 7:34am)
  • I totally agree, it does make it worse in the long run. But I’m the short term it’s what I’m left with. I’ve got a counsellor that I’ve been to before when I felt that things were falling apart, I’ve already messaged them for an appointment this week. by Chew55 (Sat 10th Aug 2019 7:53am)
  • Thanks man. by Chew55 (Sat 10th Aug 2019 7:51am)
  • Report him to the council. If he’s registered and is letting his flat out without an HMO the council will shaft him, if he’s unregistered the council will also shaft him. https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=18322 by Chew55 (Sat 17th Aug 2019 12:43pm)
  • What’s the script with Pride today? I’ve seen a few of my gay friends on Twitter saying that this isn’t the “real” Pride but rather some corporate affair? by Chew55 (Sat 17th Aug 2019 12:46pm)
  • The guys at Loud and Clear in Finnieston might be able to point you in the right direction. by Chew55 (Thu 22nd Aug 2019 8:32am)
  • Is Maddison’s at Strathclyde Uni still open? I’m going to be in that area for work and would love to get my lunch there and relive my uni days. by Chew55 (Thu 22nd Aug 2019 8:31am)
  • Can second Old Schoolhouse, I’ve watched an old firm in there and it’s mostly students and west end types. by Chew55 (Sat 31st Aug 2019 11:46am)
  • While still paying them more than the industry standard in Glasgow. All the developers I know working for JP make more than those of us at non banking companies doing the same job. by Chew55 (Wed 18th Sep 2019 2:09pm)
  • I saw a programme once where a couple in London were selling a duplex ex council flat in central London and were buying a fucking castle in Scotland. Alright the castle needed a bit of work but still, a fucking castle. by Chew55 (Wed 18th Sep 2019 3:12pm)
  • Sentencing is usually done at a later date I think. by Chew55 (Wed 25th Sep 2019 6:16pm)
  • It’s because it’s unfunny edgelord patter. by Chew55 (Wed 25th Sep 2019 9:34pm)
  • If you're thinking of the one off Finnieston Street then it's been closed down for a few months. by Chew55 (Thu 3rd Oct 2019 1:24pm)

  • The subway and all the underground railway lines might make the tunnel a bit of an issue. by Chew55 (Wed 16th Oct 2019 6:02pm)
  • Hiya Ohpanda by Chew55 (Mon 28th Oct 2019 4:53pm)
  • Ok then... Hiya Ohpanda’s maw. by Chew55 (Mon 28th Oct 2019 4:56pm)
  • Other option is to get the train to Partick and walk from there. Depending on which part of Finnieston OP is going to that will be quicker than walking from Queen Street. by Chew55 (Wed 4th Dec 2019 5:40pm)
  • If you've got swollen glands then it sounds like it's probably infected. I've had this a few times and had to get the tooth pulled. Antibiotics may clear the infection which is causing the pain, so you may just get a course of penicillin and told to wait until your appointment in March. by Chew55 (Wed 15th Jan 2020 1:13pm)
  • Mono, Stereo and Flying Duck are all owned by the same company. by Chew55 (Tue 17th Mar 2020 7:56am)
  • They could probably just film actual deserted New York streets just now. by Chew55 (Mon 6th Apr 2020 4:19pm)
  • I don’t think anyone us suggesting the two positions are mutually exclusive. Most people are capable of being against more than one thing at a time. by Chew55 (Sat 6th Jun 2020 12:34pm)
  • Just because it’s in a contract, that doesn’t mean it’s enforceable. Employers put a lot of stuff in there in the hope that it’s never challenged. That might not be what’s happening in this case but it’s worth bearing in mind. by Chew55 (Fri 19th Jun 2020 4:52pm)
  • The companies response makes it look worse IMO. They sound mental. by Chew55 (Fri 19th Jun 2020 4:55pm)
  • It’s slowly being replaced by “woke” as the way to dismiss any protest. by Chew55 (Sat 20th Jun 2020 12:24pm)
  • Hopefully there’s an enquiry in to how Police Scotland have handled everything in the last couple of weeks because they’re making an absolute cunt of this. This is a massive overreach. by Chew55 (Sat 20th Jun 2020 7:07pm)
  • I read that as “Poppers make Glasgow”. by Chew55 (Wed 28th Oct 2020 10:35pm)
  • Can confirm, walked by it this morning and it’s got a big sign saying “opening on the 26th of November”. by Chew55 (Sat 21st Nov 2020 4:19pm)
  • I had a flat with Goodearl for a good few years, up until the end of last year, and they were always decent enough. Always responded to stuff quickly and didn’t take the piss with rent increases. by Chew55 (Wed 10th Mar 2021 8:11am)
  • Tip for the First Bus app: watch and see if the number of available seats is changing as it goes along its route, if it does then the bus is likely actually running. Buses that aren't actually running will still show up on the app but with either no data or the seat availability won't change. by Chew55 (Tue 8th Mar 2022 1:53pm)
  • You do realise this is a normal school? It doesn’t exclusively teach Gaelic. They teach everything a normal school does, they just do it in Gaelic. by Chew55 (Mon 14th Mar 2022 11:04am)
  • “Vestibule” https://media.tenor.com/mh5pU8nzveUAAAAC/chewin-the-fat-fancy-cheese-baguette-modus-operandi.gif by Chew55 (Sat 5th Nov 2022 8:27am)
  • Most local authorities will have something like you describe, but you’ll be surprised to hear they’re massively underfunded and thus have very limited places. Source: partner works for a specialist unit in a different local authority. by Chew55 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 6:44am)
  • I’ve lived in Moodiesburn for a few years. Never smelt it, and I live not that far away. by Chew55 (Wed 8th Mar 2023 3:09pm)
  • I’ve not heard anyone complaining about it. I walk past the place you’re talking about while I’m walking my dogs and you can hear lorries moving about and general noise, but I wouldn’t say it’s excessive. I’ve never been down there at night, so can’t comment on that time. The only houses that the noise might affect are the new ones they’re building right next to it, anywhere else and I don’t think your notice. by Chew55 (Wed 8th Mar 2023 3:21pm)
  • Labradors, loads of them, plus quite a few labradoodles. by Chew55 (Fri 14th Apr 2023 9:25am)
  • I had my long hair cut for the first time in a very long time, along with a beard trim from David at Clayton Hair in Pitt Street and was very happy with it. He was very knowledgable as well, gave me some good advice on how to look after my hair. by Chew55 (Sun 11th Jun 2023 6:42pm)
  • I grew up in Ayrshire so it was always the Magnum in Irvine we went to. I think we went to the time capsule once, but we went to the magnum every week during the summer holidays. by Chew55 (Tue 13th Jun 2023 7:59am)
  • Slightly different area (I'm out near Cumbernauld), but I got an instructor through Bill Plant Driving School pretty quickly. I started my lessons in October and passed my test in February (I had some experience with taking lessons 10-15 years ago so wasn't starting from scratch). I filled in the form on the website and a driving instructor text me the next day. by Chew55 (Mon 19th Jun 2023 2:03pm)
  • I think the problem with building on that bit is it’s proximity to all the railway tunnels. by Chew55 (Fri 29th Sep 2023 12:50pm)
  • David in Clayton Hair on Pitt Street is really good with long hair. That’s where I’ve been going since I grew my hair long over lockdown and he’s always really good. by Chew55 (Mon 2nd Oct 2023 7:34am)
  • Taco Mazama with on Sauciehall street have a burrito challenge. by Chew55 (Sat 14th Oct 2023 12:55pm)
  • Pretty sure this is the answer. This is the entrance on North Street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dC9dgNeJ39GFaqcL7?g_st=ic by Chew55 (Sat 11th Nov 2023 11:38am)
  • David Clayton at Clayton Hair on Pitt Street is good with long hair, been going there since I grew mine long over lock down. by Chew55 (Sun 26th Nov 2023 3:46pm)
  • When I needed a wisdom tooth removed under GA it was free because my dentist referred me to the dental hospital and the operation was done at Stobhill. I might be misremembering but my understanding is that the dental hospital don’t charge if you’re referred there. by Chew55 (Sun 3rd Dec 2023 3:23pm)
