  • Know how in Grand Theft Auto the game generates different types of NPC depending on what area you're in? I've always thought the crossing on Stockwell street towards Trongate must be the boundary line Glasgow's developer set. That section between Specsavers and Glasgow Cross is depressing as fuck sometimes. by Childish_Grambino (Wed 25th Nov 2020 12:04am)
  • Cheers, i think i'm at that stage. by Childish_Grambino (Tue 12th Jan 2021 9:22pm)
  • Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow by Childish_Grambino (Tue 12th Jan 2021 10:04pm)
  • Been here 2 years, used to go out drinking untill i knew the kids would be asleep to avoid the noise. I cut some slack during the first lockdown but there's been a couple of things recently that suggest the parents just arent doing their job. by Childish_Grambino (Tue 12th Jan 2021 10:09pm)
  • Same people own an MOT Centre in Govanhill. One of their mechanics ploughed into the side of my car a few years back and wrote it off, bosses came to the scene and offered to tow it to their lot so it was off the road and the insurance could come get it from there. Insurance got there 5 days later and they started demanding £300 for a storage fee despite the car not being on their property, parked on the road outside. They parked two cars right up to it so it couldnt be lifted and parts started going missing from it while it sat there. All of a sudden their mechanic (who took full liabilitý at the scene) switched the claim to say I'd been sitting at the side of the road and pulled out and accelerated to get in his way deliberately. Took 3 months to get resolved, couldnt even get them to take a phonecall beyond the front desk. If you do enough googling you'll find articles where the same folk have been accused of people trafficing and running an underage brothel in South Lanarkshire. by Childish_Grambino (Mon 18th Jan 2021 10:07am)
  • A combination of the neighbour telling me so (she asked when the mother told her they hadnt been out) and that the kids went back to school once they were open. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 8:19pm)
  • I was anticipating someone asking whether the kids weren't leaving the house because one of them was shileding from the virus. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 8:16pm)
  • Thats the thing, the dad genuinely doesn't seem like a bad guy when i talk to him, just sort of disengaged so i didn't want to cause undue trouble. I work on and off night shift and have taken to going to my parents to sleep as i cant block it out with ear plugs or white noise. As you say though for the kids longterm development 6 out of the last 10 months indoors isn't going to end up anywhere good. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 8:29pm)
  • Nah, she's a neighbour who asked a question in a conversation. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 10:13pm)
  • Certainly based on the noise I'm hearing the kids definitely have excess energy to burn off. I have a niece and totally get where youre coming from. In terms of the development of a young kids eyes not being outside for that long can have longterm effects too. Especially if they were to be spending a lot of time in front of screens. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 10:20pm)
  • Yeah i totally get that. If the worst was happening would i not be remiss/ partially complicit if this was going on though? by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 10:28pm)
  • Totally agree. The reason im holding off as well is i want to be 100% sure I'm not making an excuse with myself to try and do something about the noise, but if there was some sort of neglect going on i dont feel i should ignore it. I realise a lot of folk will be reading this and just seeing some grumpy c*nt moaning about kids, but there's such a thing as bad parents too and if that's what is happening here the "dont be a grass" philosophy could be doing longterm damage to children. Best case the social checks and nothings wrong. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 12th Feb 2021 10:26pm)
  • And yes, I'd be lying if I pretended that my first thought upon seeing a collection slip on the floor wasn't "I SAID LEAVE IT ON THE MAT!" haha by Childish_Grambino (Fri 21st May 2021 11:31am)
  • In fairness when I did the track and trace they asked whether I needed anything in and said that they could arrange it through the local authority. by Childish_Grambino (Fri 21st May 2021 11:46am)
  • As crazy as this seems I've actually heard of staff getting reprimanded when their bosses are informed they went the extra mile in the past. Time management etc. The crossed out section is his phone number so I'm thinking about giving him a text to say thanks, I don't want to feel like Larry David using his doctor's private number for non-essential reasons though haha by Childish_Grambino (Fri 21st May 2021 1:08pm)
  • If only, someone just sent me a link to The S*n using it. by Childish_Grambino (Sat 22nd May 2021 10:44pm)
  • There's a young well put together Indian guy that hangs around town who is the absolute worst with it. Couple of years back he came up behind me and pulled my earphone out, immediately started asking for money. Few weeks ago he stood in my way on Union St and wouldn't let me pass. When I asked him what he wanted he started trying to put his arm round my shoulder. I told him to get off me and that he shouldn't be touching random people in the street given the climate. Just looked at me with disdain and moved on to literally the next closest person. by Childish_Grambino (Wed 26th May 2021 5:53pm)
  • I worked at Trnsmt bars a few years back and as i remember we were told to direct people to some free taps on site if they asked this question. Also the waste food/drink after the festival was unreal. by Childish_Grambino (Thu 9th Sep 2021 7:16pm)
  • I'm a downstairs neighbour of a family with two young kids. Never being able to know what time there will be a stampede across your ceiling and how long it will last is awful for your mental health. Cant have friends round, cant quietly sit and read a book/watch a movie, woken up early etc I'm at the point where i look forward to being at work because at least I'm away from the banging. I'd go down and talk to them, if they're not civil then thats their problem but hopefully you can find some common ground. Are you the top floor? It might be the case you dont appreciate quite how loud the sound transfers below, a level of noise that to them might seem improbable you wouldnt realise is innapropriate. There's a certain amount of noise that you'll never be able to help, I'd advise putting some heavy rugs or foam play padding down. by Childish_Grambino (Sun 20th Nov 2022 7:52pm)
