  • Dear God I hope not by ClassicPap (Fri 28th Jun 2019 9:29pm)
  • I also live in priesthill and my mum's car window was smashed just last week. by ClassicPap (Fri 24th Jan 2020 12:23am)
  • Have you had a look at the event logs to see if there's any hint as to what's going on? by ClassicPap (Sat 25th Jan 2020 10:50pm)
  • A good place to start would be to wait for the issue to happen again and then take a note of the time. Then dig through the windows/system logs to see what happened just before and at that time. You'd be looking for error codes basically. Hopefully that makes sense. by ClassicPap (Sun 26th Jan 2020 12:45am)
  • Also want to know by ClassicPap (Thu 20th Feb 2020 4:54pm)
  • Restaurant Bar & Grill in Princess square is my go to date night place. by ClassicPap (Wed 26th Feb 2020 3:23pm)
  • This may be the way forward by ClassicPap (Sat 18th Apr 2020 4:32pm)
  • I tend not to get that rough feeling when I get up at 1-2pm. I just hate getting up so late then it's dark not long after by ClassicPap (Sat 18th Apr 2020 4:31pm)
  • I think I might have to do that. Force myself back to a normal pattern by ClassicPap (Sat 18th Apr 2020 4:30pm)
  • The only thing I've heard of is from my mum who works at the airport. There was an Asian man who was walking to his flight and my mum overheard her colleagues say "They protect themselves with masks after spreading it all over the world". Clearly idiots. But out and about in "normal" life I don't think you've anything to worry about. PS I agree with your thinking that you shouldn't just socialise with your ethnic group. I'm of Pakistani background and have friends from all different walks of life. Feel free to DM me by ClassicPap (Sat 30th May 2020 12:53pm)
  • Appreciate the advice! Thank you by ClassicPap (Tue 13th Apr 2021 10:27pm)
  • Cats protection is mentioned a lot I’ll have a look. I’m definitely swayed against gumtree now thank you for keeping me right by ClassicPap (Tue 20th Apr 2021 1:04am)
  • Message received loud and clear! Thanks for that I’ll have a look around for reputable organisations and go down that route instead. Thank you by ClassicPap (Tue 20th Apr 2021 1:03am)
  • Thanks so much I’ll check them out by ClassicPap (Tue 20th Apr 2021 1:04am)
  • I’m sorry to hear your time in Glasgow so far has been so shite. I know it might be hard to believe me after 18 months of that riot but we’re not all like that and it’s most certainly not a part of day to day life here. My gut feeling is it’s most likely the area, every city has it’s share of bad areas and Glasgow isn’t any different sadly. You have the right to feel safe in your home and I’m sorry arseholes like that are making life difficult for you. by ClassicPap (Tue 18th May 2021 8:16am)
  • Really? I can only speak for myself I suppose but I’ve lived in Drumchapel for a while and now live in Pollok and never had any issues. And I’m Pakistani so that includes no racial issues either. by ClassicPap (Wed 19th May 2021 9:23pm)
  • I’m from Pollok (Priesthill but close enough) and not to mention the fact that I’m Pakistani and thank god I’ve never had any issues like OP mentioned in my 9+ years of being in this house by ClassicPap (Wed 19th May 2021 9:21pm)

  • I'll check the menu, appreciated :) by ClassicPap (Fri 6th May 2022 9:54pm)
  • I looked at Kimchi Cult but thought it was more of a "grab a quick bite and then boost" type of place. I'm dying to try it though might be a shout for lunch breaks etc. Bibimbap in West End always looks busy when I drive by. Reckon that's worth a try? Also there's Silla as scisteve mentioned, which is the one to beat just now for a sit down meal by ClassicPap (Fri 6th May 2022 10:02pm)
  • Sitting in silla right now. by ClassicPap (Sat 7th May 2022 6:35pm)

  • That's if it's a PCN from the council though. Not a private company. by ClassicPap (Fri 2nd Jun 2023 1:19am)
  • Oh I see. I don't understand how people are advising to ignore parking invoices that have been passed on to debt collection agencies then. I've been doing that myself actually. Better dig the letter out and pay it. by ClassicPap (Fri 2nd Jun 2023 7:58am)
  • I'm actually stunned. I've heard that advice so much from so many people I've taken it as true. I've just managed to recover my rating to a good standing after a silly mistake when I was a teenager aswell. Thanks kind stranger. by ClassicPap (Fri 2nd Jun 2023 8:02am)

  • Haven't seen any gameplay but what do you think? Is it just diablo 3 but years later? by ClassicPap (Sun 4th Jun 2023 12:56am)
  • I'm there right now and they're the sweetest things. Is it just me or is there more of them now than there were last year? I know breeding exists but surely not at this rate. by ClassicPap (Sun 4th Jun 2023 7:10pm)
  • I actually wasn't that bothered about it but now I'm tempted. by ClassicPap (Mon 5th Jun 2023 8:45am)
  • I didn't know this existed. Just messaged them about joining their talk sessions. OP I hope you can quell your nerves. You took a positive step and I know I'm an internet stranger but I'm proud of you for going by ClassicPap (Tue 13th Jun 2023 4:22pm)

  • Much appreciated mate. A plan sounds like heaven. by ClassicPap (Tue 27th Jun 2023 4:37pm)
  • I appreciate that a lot. I've also had a recent chance in medication that's resulting in me losing a bit of weight so aye it might be a good idea to occupy myself with some physical fitness to aid both physical and mental healing. by ClassicPap (Tue 27th Jun 2023 4:37pm)
  • Thanks for the detailed answer. I think the part I'll struggle with is being asked what I hope it will help with because saying "To make it go away" or "make it stop" isn't a real answer. I'm quite nervous but like everyone has said, I'll keep an open mind by ClassicPap (Tue 27th Jun 2023 7:24pm)
  • Thank you! I've got endless amounts of respect for the work they do (and you did while you were there) and I appreciate the advice. by ClassicPap (Tue 27th Jun 2023 8:18pm)
  • I'll do some research on the downward arrow technique. Thanks again! by ClassicPap (Wed 28th Jun 2023 1:01am)
  • Also love your username by ClassicPap (Wed 28th Jun 2023 1:00am)
  • Thanks for your insight. It's super helpful. I'll try to do some self reflection and come up with wants and don't wants for tomorrow. I already see a therapist once a week but I don't feel like it's enough but I can't afford much more so I'm hoping to supplement it with the tools available at men matters. by ClassicPap (Wed 28th Jun 2023 1:00am)
  • Aaand nearly burst into tears reading this. Thank you by ClassicPap (Wed 28th Jun 2023 8:53am)
  • Chikaros by ClassicPap (Tue 11th Jul 2023 7:41am)
  • They're about £170 if you use their mobile service. Had to use them a few times. by ClassicPap (Sun 23rd Jul 2023 10:42am)
  • I'd say Facebook marketplace is a good shout. Im not aware of any markets or anything like that anymore by ClassicPap (Tue 25th Jul 2023 11:09am)
  • Muslim man here. I don't consider myself very religious at all. Regardless I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry to hear about your struggle and I hope you find some peace somewhere somehow. For what little comfort it is, if I saw what could be assumed a Muslim girl with tattoos etc I honestly wouldn't care, I keep myself to myself and let others live their lives as they see fit. So while I absolutely understand why you're feeling anxious about being out and about (having your own car once you can arrange that will be a huge help!) I hope it's of some comfort that not all of us are judgemental. by ClassicPap (Thu 24th Aug 2023 1:45pm)
  • In that case I'm super glad you posted. I'm a millennial who was born here so maybe that's why I have this opinion. Regardless, a lot of my friends are Muslim too and I know for a fact they'd feel the same way as I do. I hope this is of some comfort in your moments where you feel isolated. There are Muslims out here that are happy to just leave other people to live their lives ☺️ by ClassicPap (Thu 24th Aug 2023 1:59pm)
  • I didn't think your post was charged, it just read like someone who is going through a really difficult time and the radical mindsets of others are making your day to day life difficult. Who wouldn't be frustrated in your position? Tbh in my opinion religion is a very personal thing between someone and whatever higher power they have faith in. So I totally agree with you about those who gossip or judge. Plus a lot of it will just be boredom. I also think a lot of these types of Muslims won't have fully integrated to society here. I was born here so it's different for me but they moved here and just have lived in their bubble. That's my two pennies on it anyway. by ClassicPap (Thu 24th Aug 2023 2:34pm)
  • I saw the post and felt bad for OP but didn't comment. Maybe there's something to be said about the loud minority making those negative comments? by ClassicPap (Sat 26th Aug 2023 10:17pm)
  • I myself am not but someone I know has been looking for ages and is having no luck either by ClassicPap (Thu 28th Sep 2023 7:59pm)
  • THIS IS GLASGOW!!!! by ClassicPap (Sat 30th Sep 2023 10:05am)
  • You did a good thing, I'd like to think most people would but I don't think that's the case these days. I'm sure he will remember you as a kind stranger for a long while. by ClassicPap (Mon 30th Oct 2023 8:39am)

  • There's a wee crew at the Gulf on hawkhead road that are decent. by ClassicPap (Tue 28th Nov 2023 9:23am)
  • I don't have a holy candle but just wanted to say that I feel for you and that I'm sorry you're going through a scary time right now. I sincerely hope your mum is alright. by ClassicPap (Sat 9th Dec 2023 12:22am)
