I used to get the floor in my close soaking with water if anyone tried sleeping in it and they cleared off every time they saw it. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 9th Feb 2019 6:41pm)

Loch Goilhead is nice, and much quieter than Lomond. Beware of needing a permit in areas though.

People are shitting on the council for this but remember there's a fucking huge black hole in the budget to fill and its all down to the jokers at Labour mismanaging the city for years. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 20th Feb 2019 12:27pm)

Cannae wait for my street to be littered with broken bottles and absolutely nae peace for the entire duration. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 21st Feb 2019 11:52pm)

When I was at University, not Glasgow mind you, I would just find an empty room and study there. Do they have timetables on the doors? You'll surely find one that is empty that you can use. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 23rd Apr 2019 10:27am)

Your landlord is a dodgy bastard. You have to pay council tax if you live in the city, unless you're a student, as they're exempt. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 28th Apr 2019 11:58am)

Good luck getting your landlord to do anything if it needs all landlords to chip in to fix shit. We had all our drains blocked, landlord sent a plumber, they broke a pipe on the outside of the building, which cleared the blockage but sent all wastewater into the back close area. Every time anyone above us or ourselves used water, it all flooded the back area. Some landlords didn't agree to pay up to fix it because apparently no damage was being done, but the person living on the bottom floor had to keep their windows shut otherwise their house would get flooded, not to mention water seeping in the actual close and to peoples doors. p.s fuck landlords by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 6th May 2019 2:06pm)

Find a community on Facebook or otherwise for your nationality? Most major cities have them. What about starting a day meetup here? You could be king/queen of them all. Also expat...might need to drop that patter since its tinged with ideas of being better than a bog standard immigrant. Its not bad to admit you are an immigrant, and we love immigrants here. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 12th May 2019 6:41pm)

Orange Walks should be held inside the SECC when its empty otherwise. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 14th May 2019 3:39pm)

You've got all the good advice so far. I got kicked out just before my 18th. I registered as homeless immediately, and ended up surfing couches instead of taking on offers to stay in dodgy BnB's that I got offered (plenty experience of those with homelessness as a kid with my maw). I waited and waited for news of a place to stay, but never got any contact. Eventually went to visit the homelessness office out in Balornock, got told I'd had a wee council flat earmarked for me for a few weeks but they couldn't get a hold of me because nobody had noted down my phone number. Ended up with a 1 bedroom place on Parnie Street, right in the city centre. £190 a month rent! Got a job, worked for a couple years, went to college, went to University and now I'm here, all successful and that. Chin up! This happened to me 10 years ago but there's always a way forward. Just know that it definitely isn't the end. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 15th May 2019 1:23am)

Checked with hospitals? Might be good for them in areas where they have digital recreation. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 19th May 2019 4:35pm)

I live at Glasgow Green and have a washer-dryer combination. 15 min walk from Havannah Street. Gies a shout via private message and we'll figure it out. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 5th Jun 2019 12:27am)

Its legal ID (PASS logo, [http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/](http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/)) and lasts you until you're 26, so any bouncer that knows their shit should be letting you in. Unfortunately, as per the responses so far, nobody really knows about it and when I used to use mine, none of the cunts I showed it to understood it. Easily fineable offence if the venue doesn't let you in or let you buy age related products when using it, though. Can always grass them up for it. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 10th Jun 2019 1:35am)

This was years ago when I did my personal license but if a place refuses to let you in, they have to do it on grounds they believe you're not suitable for the place, as in you're drunk, liable to cause shit, etc. They can't just blanket refuse to accept PASS ID. Might have changed since I done it (2009 or so), but it was part of the test to be aware of fines to the venue/security if they're sitting there blanket refusing the ID. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 10th Jun 2019 11:40am)

Probably have to order online. I'd suggest they look into a Monzo or Revolut card as well. You get the market exchange rate using those, and can withdraw and pay abroad with one just like you would in Scotland, nae bother. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 26th Jun 2019 1:59pm)

I fucking hate it. I live next to the Green and with TRNSMT soon, I'm not looking forward to it. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 26th Jun 2019 11:10pm)

Monteith Row is quiet, plenty spaces, right next to the Barras. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 29th Jun 2019 7:30pm)

No, its all free parking. I live on the street and any sign saying "NO UNAUTHORISED PARKING" is just bullshit. Always some fancy motor parked here in the morning while the owner walks to the city centre to go work. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 2nd Jul 2019 9:24pm)

Once caught a guy taking a shite in my close doorway on Parnie Street, many moons ago. The door used to be quite recessed. Hands on both walls, squatting with his trousers round his ankles. I was coming in and he pulled his trousers up, said sorry and moved so I could get in. Next day, a big smearing of shite where the close door swings. Those doors are now flush with the building face. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 4th Jul 2019 1:09pm)

"This sub is so left wing" Away and take yer face for a shite. Orange Walks are nonsense. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 6th Jul 2019 10:29am)

The gammon bastards will hopefully die off. Pretty sure their membership is ageing and barely enjoying any signups. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 6th Jul 2019 10:47am)

Calton includes the homes between Morrisons and Glasgow Green, which are all alright stuff, if you can find any to rent. Any further towards the health centre and Bellgrove train station and it gets a bit more dodgy. Its a mixed area, honestly. Take it from me, since I live between Morrisons at Gallowgate and the Green. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 22nd Jul 2019 8:37pm)

I live next to the Green and all day, I could heard shouting and bawling nearby. Could easily make out the "fuckin" but not the rest of the unintelligible squawks. Still flutes and drums banging around at 6pm at night. Its a fucking joke. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 28th Jul 2019 12:22pm)

Always been with Virgin. No need for a phone line which is the best. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 28th Jul 2019 3:47pm)

Go to Rouken Glen park. Its within the city and my gf (foreigner) says its the best park in the city. Felt like she was on a trip to a forest out of town, in her words. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 30th Jul 2019 7:54pm)

Get yourself to Glickmans Confectionary on London Road for some real Scottish teeth-shatteringly sweet sweets. Its right next to Glasgow Green, less than a 5 min walk. Get tablet, fudge, macaroons, and anything else they recommend. Much better than all this stuff you've got there. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 15th Aug 2019 9:20am)

I can only imagine those teacakes getting fucking smashed on the way home. Hope they arrive intact. Get down to Glickmans Confectionary near the Green. Galores of proper Scottish sweeties. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 15th Aug 2019 5:28pm)

Record every interaction with her and if she gets ragin' about it, its her fault. She can call the polis or whoever else, but you'll have the evidence of her being a madcunt. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 22nd Aug 2019 6:08pm)

Theres the waste treatment plant at Dalmarnock. Might be the reason its stinking like fuck. Whenever it's hot and I have to pass there, its unbearably mingin. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 28th Aug 2019 3:34pm)

29 male here. Off work tomorrow but wouldnt mind going a walk around the city centre and its surrounds if you're up for that. Got a Japanese lesson 3pm until 4pm, free otherwise, but send me a message here if youre interested. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 3rd Sep 2019 4:54pm)

Some amount of rain today with that beautiful blue sky, eh? Fucking idiot. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 7th Sep 2019 5:10pm)

Watching workies miserably stomp about their work outside in the pishing rain while I'm sat cosy in my home office. Cannae fathom why you'd become a workie in Scotland when its mostly outdoor work with this weather. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 9th Sep 2019 12:42pm)

Shame they didnt. Maybe next time. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 9th Sep 2019 4:56pm)

Its not really weak will. Its the law that these nuggets can run marches like this. If the council had its way, they'd obliterate these marches. Been said plenty in the last week or so. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Sep 2019 11:50am)

It cant. Its the European Humans Rights Convention law that stops them. Would find it funny for GCC to manage a change to that. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Sep 2019 11:57am)

Seems like you're planning to move here, going by your Reddit history. What made you make the decision? by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Sep 2019 11:55am)

It'd probably get them shot down because its not anyone in the march that is causing trouble, but provocateurs on the outside trying to stir up trouble. That's the argument they always crow, when we know the source of the problem is continuing this "us vs them" sectarian mentality by having these marches. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Sep 2019 12:19pm)

Doors Open Days soon. You get the chance to freely wander loads of historic buildings normally closed to the public. http://www.doorsopendays.org.uk/ by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Sep 2019 12:34pm)

Speaking English, its probably your best bet. No need to learn another language and feel like a rude walloper relying on English. Send me a message if you want to talk pish. 29 and make if it makes a difference. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Sep 2019 9:59pm)

Worst part about these kinds of sectarian marches is tourists think its some lovely Scottish thing, taking photos, sending it back to their family and going "Oh look how nice Scotland is!" Fuckin' hate it, and now they're gonna be gathering in George Square? Fuck sake. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 12th Sep 2019 8:41am)

The fenian blood patter is actually from the original Brigton Boys gang who invented the song, so no, its not "added by followers", and even if it was "added by followers", it wouldn't be fucking acceptable anyway. Just accept it. The OO are a sectarian organisation. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 12th Sep 2019 8:40am)

You're lucky. Check this out: https://glasgowdoorsopendays.org.uk Its a special event every year where the public can enter normally locked off historic buildings or places of interest. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 12th Sep 2019 9:47pm)

I used to phone 101 when in Edinburgh to deal with a noisy as fuck AirBnB next door. They'd be out in no time and the noise would end. After 4 or 5 incidents in a row, the cunt who owned the place lost the ability to rent it out like that. Worth giving that a dial if council options arent helping. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 13th Sep 2019 7:18pm)

They asked me to record incidents of it with times and dates, and even if they turned up and nothing was up, they'd take my word for it and look into it. Its really the only way to get this stuff handled. How do your other neighbours feel? by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 13th Sep 2019 7:21pm)

Shitloads of polis in the usual combat gear and shitloads of Rangers strip wearing gammon getting steaming in George Square at about 2pm. Annoying to see the polis just let drinking in public fly because they're afraid of a stramash. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 19th Sep 2019 4:27pm)

There's fuck all money for the council right now. Successive austerity years and the pressure on budgets due to the settlement on womens pay thanks to Labour have just absolutely fucked everything. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 19th Sep 2019 4:45pm)

Aw aye, forgot they had the exact same strip as Rangers. Fuck off. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 20th Sep 2019 1:44pm)

Owner expects the council to pick up the bill for restoration because hes a rich rat and wont let go of it. Wish he'd fucking sell it off to someone who has the determination to get it handled. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 21st Sep 2019 2:09pm)

Possible if the polis had the horses out, they just shite anywhere and it gets left to rot. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 21st Sep 2019 5:50pm)

Not many for that, I'd say. You'll be paying through the nose if you tried CEX. Best checking out Everybitgaming and other retro online vendors that can be trusted. Maybe you'll find a trader at MCM Glasgow next week? by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 21st Sep 2019 9:18pm)

Light rain forecast for the morning is some laugh. Looks like we might all drown out there. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 22nd Sep 2019 10:08am)

The music on this is dead weird. Like the music is well clear and doesn't really change in comparison to the camera. Still, good idea to wind up the gammon. Seen how people play copyrighted music at far right gatherings so that any video they put online gets content ID'ed and taken down? Its so fucking class. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 22nd Sep 2019 1:57pm)

CCTV rarely stops wallopers, I think. Its best if you have a back close you can lock it up in, as its more effort to get into, but if some jake sees you taking it through there, its very likely they'll plot to nick it at some point anyway. I hate the state of theft here. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 24th Sep 2019 2:15am)

The lunch menu is good at Cafe Cossachok. Its really cheap and you get pretty damn sizeable portions. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 25th Sep 2019 10:53am)

I'd always be wary of landlords saying utilities are included. You'd have no control over your supplies and you've got to rely on them to get it sorted, such as internet going down, water going off, power outages etc. For advice on minimum terms, stick with the experts at Shelter: [https://scotland.shelter.org.uk/get\_advice/guides/renting\_privately](https://scotland.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/guides/renting_privately) They've helped me with advice on dealing with dodgy landlords and the differences in contracts. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 25th Sep 2019 11:03am)

"But a number of women gave evidence during the trial that they had been upset and intimidated by his approaches. Remanding him in custody pending sentence, Sheriff Lindsay Wood said: "These convictions were a course of criminal contact involving young girls who were affected in a variety of ways. "Two of them were school girls and another was particularly vulnerable. These are of public concern."" He'd stalk people and try to beat them down with PUA shit to shag them, and secretly filmed it too. It wasn't just "asking them out". by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 25th Sep 2019 8:12pm)

Jazzies are the name. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 26th Sep 2019 1:14pm)

Definitely isn't that mad parquet stuff. It might be cheap stuff but I'm not an expert. Got a guide on figuring out what the hell I've got on this floor? Can't get a good picture because the lights are dim in here. Need to wait until its bright to get a good image. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 28th Sep 2019 9:34pm)

Notre Dame is the only school I'm aware of thats not in the modern age yet, but there was talk about male admissions recently. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 1st Oct 2019 1:55pm)

I'm always up for playing tour guide for new residents but I'd probably get locked up escorting someone 11 years my junior around. You looked into following any of the mural trails the city has, or doing a tour of the City Chambers? Could always do some of our fantastic museums too. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 5th Oct 2019 1:36pm)

Billy Bilslands down next to Glasgow Green on Saltmarket. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 5th Oct 2019 3:47pm)

I spend barely anything on food. Get yourself a slow cooker and you can make huge batches of tasty stews, curries and all sorts for a tenner a week, more if you want to use meat. Shopping at Aldi or Lidl helps keep costs down because theyre well cheap and often better than big name places. I don't drink or smoke though. Always wondered how people have the money for that nonsense. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 5th Oct 2019 3:57pm)

Further to this is the difference in nutritional content of own brand stuff versus brand name stuff in supermarkets is almost negligible. Oftentimes youll find less sugar and salt in own brand stuff, and everything else is the same. Never be afraid to buy own brand. You'll save so much dosh. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 6th Oct 2019 1:42am)

Cafe Cossachok is excellent for its lunch menu. Good portions and cheap as fuck in comparison to many places. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 21st Oct 2019 11:49am)

You sound butthurt. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 24th Oct 2019 6:54pm)

Bunch of fascists given polis protection. I guess its to stop them causing shit but they shouldnt be walked there, instead bussed there. Such a rotten image to let these cunts patrol the streets like this. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 24th Oct 2019 6:55pm)

Lots of wallopers think Mandela is controversial because he did some guerilla warfare, and he opposed a lot of multi-racial attempts at resisting apartheid in SA in his early years. Wonder what Badyk's view on him is. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 28th Oct 2019 8:49pm)

The Gorbals probably got the best of it. Norfolk Court, Stirlingfauld Place and Sandiefield Road flats getting done away with and replaced with fancy new housing has eliminated nearly all the dodginess of the area. Sure, some bits of land are still derelict, but you can be certain thats all down to some rich cunt squatting on the land. Shame the house prices probably rip the arse out of you, and they built much less home capacity in comparison to how many lived there before. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 31st Oct 2019 4:52pm)

If you're in a club, its likely any group of males will be boisterous arsewipes who think long hair is for lassies and they're "too hard" for it. Its a damn shame. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 6th Nov 2019 10:53pm)

Glickmans sweet shop on London Road will have it. Mrs Mitchell's Sweet Shop on Argyle Street (next to McDonalds bakery) will as well. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 8th Dec 2019 1:55pm)

I mind a place like this, and it had simulations of road crossings and all sorts inside. It was weird and I don't remember anything else about it. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 8th Dec 2019 9:35pm)

The only way I got rid of junkies in my close when I lived on Parnie Street is when the cops asked for a witness statement to my downstairs neighbour being a drug dealer. Once he was away, they just stopped coming back. Absolutely nothing else worked. Tried chasing them, tried calling the polis, just pernicious bastards who don't have the decency to leave a living area alone. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 22nd Dec 2019 1:20pm)

I remember being taken there in the 90s as a wee kid. My step-da was a drug dealer and would leave me at his friends cafe while he did his business. It was inside the bit thats now a fancy restaurant. Always got plied with ice cream sundaes and cheeseburgers for free. There was a wee shop in the same building that sold counterfeit games and I was always intrigued but never bought stuff. I also remember a donut stall, that I always wanted to get stuff from but never could. Used to be so busy but nowadays its a total ghost town. Choking with people, stall sellers belting out prices, haggling, rough types laughing like fuck as they shared a bottle on the pavement edge, and the inevitable bolt when the cops showed up. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 28th Dec 2019 10:39am)

Got any PC savvy pals? Get them to take a look. Save yourself getting taken for a ride on repair "costs". I love building PCs and I've helped many pals with it over the years. I don't even see it as labour when they ask. Just love to tinker, get in aboot it and see it work in the end. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 11th Jan 2020 1:25pm)

You have the whiff of a PUA about you. Most lassies in this city will batter you if you try any of that shite. Regardless, you're better sticking to apps like Tinder if you want to pump and dump. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 17th Jan 2020 5:31pm)

I've seen a ned getting a blowjob up the back of a 75 before, 10 years ago or so. Soon as someone caught their eye when looking, he got up, dick in hand and started shouting at them, saying if they wanted a turn while waving their tadger. Obviously his burd was trying to drag him back to sit down, either to stop someone else locking lips with his slowly-going-limp dick, or to prevent a fight. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Jan 2020 9:51pm)

Local government can prevent those problems and its the fault of shitty local regs for allowing that shite. Tax deals that Ireland pulled with companies to remain competitive with the nearby UK caused a huge influx of capital and created the horrid housing market you see right now. It can happen in any society, EU member or not. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 22nd Jan 2020 11:09am)

Live in a shitey house without double glazing and can see my breath in the morning if I'm in the kitchen. The joys of Scotland. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 27th Jan 2020 10:45am)

Drying clothes is agony in this shitehole. I checked the EPC for the house as I needed to get some info about my landlord for the council and it states I've got brand new double glazing windows throughout. A load of shite because they're all single glazing you can easily wobble a bit by pushing the window pane. Wonder if I can pull the landlord up about that. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 27th Jan 2020 1:08pm)

I fully expect them to spin round and do a new EPC for £35 from the cheapest company possible and just get the glazing bit re-written to say "single glazing", haha. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 27th Jan 2020 7:23pm)

Youll look like a choob but on ye go. Its not any more infectious than your average flu, and not as dangerous. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 27th Jan 2020 7:48pm)

81 deaths with an unknown incubation period, and the majority are in the high risk age range of death for flu, 65+. Meanwhile, you can see up to 20k 65+ senior citizens die to standard flu in England alone in a flu season (source: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-flu-reports). Couldn't be arsed finding Scottish figures because I thought maybe there'd be UK wide ones but nah. Stop hyping this disease up to be the end of all things because fuck-all is known about it right now. It just seems to be as infectious and symptomatic as normal flu. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 27th Jan 2020 9:56pm)

The CCP are popping the biggest stiffy that they've got an excuse to test their lockdown protocols in case of riot, war and etc. They don't need to do this but you bet they salivate at the chance. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 27th Jan 2020 10:21pm)

Fuckin' shut up mate. Keltik has good points but your heids too far up your own anti-paedo arse to see them. You're like a Brass Eye caricature. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Jan 2020 1:21am)

You ought to reflect on my Brass Eye comment to perhaps understand why you come off as a total walloper. You're parroting typical right wing shit regarding "rape gangs" and all the rest of it, but funnily enough, white people sexually abuse kids too. That's always swept under the rug though, because it doesn't get knuckleheads like you reaching for the pitchfork storage facility. You're being swept up in media hype and emotion. Of course its an abhorrent behaviour but its definitely not a behaviour exclusive to immigrants or people of a specific shade. Remember that the Catholic church has its own scandal with abuse to deal with, as well as fitbaw clubs having issues with abuse and coaches. Also, it was stated its the first thing that came to their mind when seeing an article about asylum seekers and sexual abuse. Its their own personal comment on society, yet you immediately began parroting the right wing shit as if they're trying to downplay sexual abuse. Away and fuck off. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Jan 2020 4:29pm)

Follow-up on this. They just "corrected" the EPC to say single glazing. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Jan 2020 5:49pm)

You must drink a pint of bleach every morning because you sure show a lack of tact in your thinking. Only right wing publications have covered the case so far, and someone points out the very obvious reason why, yet you immediately get mad about someone understanding why reporting has been relatively muted on it? You sound like a zealot with a wee chip on his shoulder regarding race, as if the government selectively allows paedos to claim asylum in the country to enable them to commit paedophilia. And my Brass Eye comment is 100% pertinent. If you treat it as "comedy", you're thicker than I thought. Paedogeddon was made to reflect the insane zealotry shown by the press over paedophilia. How there can be no reasoned debate over how to treat such people, or handle the aftermath of such acts, because of pitchfork-loving troglodytes like yourself being led on by tabloids. Hold back on guzzling the sodium hypochlorite for a few days and maybe your brain will clear up enough to understand why your reaction was stupid as fuck. If not, perhaps you're just a racist. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Jan 2020 7:09pm)

Love to see the city go to the dogs because of years of Labour inaction. Don't get fooled when those cunts come around and start banging their election drums, blaming "the nationalists" for this. They're a minority admin as well. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 30th Jan 2020 12:00pm)

I suppose the projected £40.9m spending gap from having to cover the equal pay shitstorm has nothing to do with the council budget being under pressure, at all. That's an estimate, too. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 30th Jan 2020 3:24pm)

Excellent comeback there. You're just a walloper being sooked in by tabloid tactics. Cool your head for a minute and you'll see. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 30th Jan 2020 3:27pm)

I strip mine into rags for cleaning the house, or for general handy use. Might be a good use if you can't find somewhere that will take them, if they're a bit tatty. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 30th Jan 2020 7:47pm)

How did you get told about the 5 month wait? Maybe going to a sexual health clinic you can get a more urgent referral. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 31st Jan 2020 12:40pm)

Go to Pollok Park and see the highland coos. They'll be calving in April so can see some wee baby ones and it'll be nice then. Rouken Glen is a great outdoor walk too, any season. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 2nd Feb 2020 10:07pm)

Things were much worse 10 to 15 years ago. That's where everyones memory is stuck. Roving gangs of neds are less these days in comparison to the past where they were fucking everywhere. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 3rd Feb 2020 1:23am)

Shame the particulate matter would likely get through a face mask anyway. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 7th Feb 2020 12:23pm)

I love making pals with foreigners because they'll always have interesting stuff to tell about where they're from, no matter where, and you can chat shit about the differences between cultures, or how they blend. I just love it. I'd hate it for Glasgow to be devoid of a bit of difference. Long may it continue to be this way. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 7th Feb 2020 1:11pm)

Not caring about where you'll get a place is key. Apply everywhere. I was homeless (granted it was 10 years ago) but registered for absolutely everywhere and the offers flew in. Managed a council place in the city centre, studio flat, cold as fuck but it was better than being homeless. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 9th Feb 2020 3:32pm)

Probably find something like this at a Turkish barbers. Mind you that the hair in your ear is serving a purpose, not just there to annoy you. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 9th Feb 2020 6:59pm)

Glasgow has music in abundance, of all types, and is the first stop for bands that want to play the country, so you'll never be short of gigs to go to of all sizes. Skateboarding, theres Kelvingrove skatepark (look up the park if you dont know it) and its always rammed, and you'll usually see skaters practicing in the city centre around the Gallery of Modern Art. We've got fuckload of museums and art galleries, so you won't be lacking for that here. World famous architects came from here, and we've got the School of Art, though badly damaged it still teaches students and draws artists to the city. Culture, there's festivals on throughout the year, and you've got Edinburgh just an hours train away so you can visit for the Fringe but not have to live there and deal with the disruption. Plenty bars to brood in too, as Glasgow loves a swally. Teetotal myself all my life so I'll never understand the appeal of bars, but we have plenty. Hiking, you're sorted. You could look into munro bagging as a new activity. Plenty groups set up to do it on social media platforms. Occult? Don't know much there myself. We've got history of witches and folklore I suppose. You'd have to dig a bit deeper than I can advise. We're a really diverse city that can offer almost anything while still being affordable to live in. Sure the weather is sometimes shite but thats liveable as long as the people are good, and we are. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 11th Feb 2020 9:53am)

I'm not into pet play because I think its quite weird but how is this awful for a wean to see? They'll probably just think its two people playing, like wearing a stupid mask or whatever. Its not like they've got their walloper or tits oot. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 18th Feb 2020 12:22am)

Pet play is not sexual activity. I bet you think holding hands is worth a night in the cells, you prude. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 18th Feb 2020 12:30am)

Shop at Aldi and Lidl, they're very cheap but good. Buy a slow cooker and you can easily make a whole weeks worth of dinners for cheap in it. You can often find relatively cheap phone deals with providers. I've got a Virgin contract that is £9 a month for 6GB of data, though I rarely use it since I do most of my internet use at home. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 18th Feb 2020 8:54am)

Bellshill is ages away from Glasgow so I don't know about there, but Glasgow itself is great. Rarely find myself without a signal and if I do, it'll be down to some general fault that can't be considered normal. Can't remember the last time I was scant for signal anywhere in the city. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 18th Feb 2020 10:24pm)

Taxi drivers just being stupid racists. They're built by big money cunts to attract the attention of rich parents from countries like China. They're "new money" people and often won't mind paying a lot to house their child at a prestigious university like Glasgow. Doesn't matter where they're from, the investors are just looking to exploit people for profit. Cunts regardless of kith. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 20th Feb 2020 12:48pm)

The trail of logic is that there's a lot of Chinese students about, a lot of new construction, and so "logically" it all must be a Chinese scam or plot to rinse Glasgow. I'd pay it no heed. It's like cunts thinking every joiner or plumber is Polish and they're all mafia'ing together to force natives out of the industry. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 20th Feb 2020 12:57pm)

Not really worth a response educating you why its an exploitative industry. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 23rd Feb 2020 4:58pm)

Guesa I'll bother since work is dead. Student accommodation is generally shoddily built, massively overpriced and its well known that developers prefer building this kind of shit over regular housing as it'll make them far more than anything else. Its just pure exploitation. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 23rd Feb 2020 5:10pm)

Park on Monteith Row. Plenty free parking, residential area but no power to tell you to fuck off. 5 min walk from the Merchant City. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 25th Feb 2020 11:02pm)

Theres maybe one space with a permanent anti-parking feature, and one cone that I see, but other than that, its a free for all and not many residents appear to own cars. Doesn't bother me that people park here because it costs a fuckload otherwise. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 26th Feb 2020 12:12pm)

3 bar fire on full blast as a wee winter treat by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 28th Feb 2020 10:55pm)

World class university, so you'd be daft to give up the chance. We have absolutely oodles of museums and the majority of them are free. Art galleries and otherwise pouring out of our ears as well. Our weather is probably the biggest problem for foreigners, but its not that big of an issue if you're from somewhere like Seattle, where it'll be comparable. Culture-wise, we're cheeky over here, so as long as you can laugh at yourself like we can laugh about ourselves, you'll be fine. Ripping into each other is a bonding thing in culture here, as if everyone is on the stage at a comedy show. Just do it!!! by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 3rd Mar 2020 8:59am)

No thanks. No fascism in my city. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 12:58pm)

He's a boring shite and isn't exactly into fascism, not that we know, so you go ahead and look like a fud. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 1:03pm)

Its not exactly cancellation when these bands stand for fascist ideals, glorifying the murder of ethnicities, the disabled, religious minorities etc. I think religion is a load of shite but I certainly don't advocate for extermination on grounds of it. Bands that sympathise with that can fuck off. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 1:13pm)

Don't be a fud. Plenty of metal bands comprise of ethnic minorities or people with Jewish ancestry. They sure as hell don't sit about and LARP until death camps emerge like these saddos do, and even if Glasgow suddenly became a truly bigoted shitehole, I'm gonna do my damned best to turn that around. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 1:17pm)

I know the old firm shite and I fucking hate it. I'll never understand it and will always stand for nonsense like orange walks being terminated, or at least restricted to non-residential areas where they can toot their hateful tunes all they like. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 1:57pm)

I don't think advocating for the deaths of people is "freedom of expression". No tolerance for the intolerant. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 1:55pm)

Aye, hopefully licensing board can do something about it. Fuck knows on the legality of getting its shit revoked but I'll take it not being above board and public as a baseline because fuck fascism. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 3:07pm)

Couldn't care less for a garden, to be honest. Also considering how expensive housing is, some see the purchase of a tenement attractive as they're usually cheap and good enough as a starting point for housing. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 3:51pm)

Bunch of tryhard wallopers, honestly. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 4th Mar 2020 7:21pm)

They had their moment to speak freely, and they speak in the name of hate. Anyone espousing fascist ideals and sympathies deserves the right to be shunned, just like this. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 12:48am)

Maybe when you learn to spell fascist. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 10:20am)

Band members are confirmed to be members of neo nazi organisations in their home countries. Read the article. There's a very big difference between them and Tom Araya of Slayer singing about the horrors of the holocaust and the beasts of the Third (failed) Reich. He doesn't advocate for that, meanwhile these idiots think it was a very good thing and should continue to happen. YOU come across as a right prick for not being able to understand that. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 10:24am)

Please explain why its bad to be anti-fascist? It should be the default position of all people desiring to live in current society. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 10:22am)

If only. They're far too deeply ingrained in Scottish culture, but hopefully one day we can weed it out. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 10:21am)

Its not art to advocate for the killing of ethnic minorities and the rise of another nazi reich, im afraid. Its just bigotry and should be shut down. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 10:20am)

Ah, yes, the stupid "both sides are bad" argument that only those who sup on bleach bottles use. Extremely effective. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 10:25am)

A Scottish dance party. The music is traditional, the dances can be fast paced, and it generally gets very chaotic when everyone has had a few drinks in em. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 2:26pm)

A lot of Scottish culture is kind of hidden away by Scots thanks to the Scottish cringe. It really sucks that we're so afraid of enjoying our culture sincerely, but its a well-discussed phenomenon and I hate it. You'll find ceilidhs across the city though, some bars having them every weekend (one on King St does, Avant Garde I think), while some may be held as events by societies. The one I'm going to is held by Glasgow University's different international student societies, to give em something Scottish to try. Open to anyone to go, student or not. https://fixr.co/event/698291467?fbclid=IwAR3hozDKwvr4zlUrJx_tpCW33HPL8MLNStDmH-nUeVIXDWiebkqnkShLnEQ by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 2:46pm)

Aw boohoo, you need a nappy change or something? by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 5th Mar 2020 7:00pm)

Cumbernauld is generally a grim area. Some parts of the country have never fully recovered from the lack of investments made in them after they were built. Many small satellite towns like it were made to rehouse people who lived in the slum tenements of Glasgow, and were moved there, away from all the jobs and their social circles. A half-century and more, deprivation is still felt within these areas, and has coloured the people to be very territorial and unwelcoming. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 7th Mar 2020 11:30pm)

Growing up in the Stirlingfauld Flats, I never mind getting trouble off any gangs of kids hanging about on the streets, but cross the road to Norfolk Court and you'd 100% get into a fight. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 11th Mar 2020 11:39pm)

Aye, there was Waddell Court, Stirlingfauld, Norfolk Court, Sandyfield and probably something else I'm missing. Stirley was really bad, Norfy always seemed much safer and quieter. Sandyfield seemed safer than Norfy and Waddell Court seems really nice, even to this day. Probably why its the only set still standing. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 12th Mar 2020 7:21pm)

Mind that when supermarkets donate to food banks via those baskets, they use it to claim back tax as a "charitable donation". Give it directly to a food bank yourself. You're paying a supermarket twice to donate something by sticking it in those baskets. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 13th Mar 2020 11:13am)

Telling everyone I know that going out for food and shit isn't good. Not even gonna bother meeting up for a walk in the park because they'd have to take public transport to get to me, or I'd have to take it to get to them. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 16th Mar 2020 1:44pm)

Lets Direct, if its the same company my mum rented from as I grew up, are scum. Single mum, 3 weans, burst pipe in the kitchen ceiling that flooded the house when you ran water upstairs. Told her it was her responsibility to fix, we went without washing for months because of it. Mum couldn't find support anywhere, couldn't afford repairs, it totally ruined her. I'd go to school and wash in the sinks as best I could, same with sisters. Eventually moved back in with her sexually abusive partner because despite her taking abuse from him, we'd at least be able to wash. Fucking scum. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 4th Jul 2020 5:03pm)

Theres actually a half-arsed skate park in Calton, just off London Road. Its always deid, probably because it looks like its actually a football pitch. Brick walls and fencing on top of it, but inside theres a couple of rails and other stuff. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 4th Jul 2020 5:06pm)

Its not fear, its being sensible, you fud. Just because you're sick of it doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to the rest of society.

You may perceive this as racist but those wee cunts will do it to anyone. Its like the new thing for them to be cruising on their (most likely stolen) bikes. I guess its easy for them to escape the cops on them because they cant exactly rip them off them otherwise, for fear or injury. Absolute wee arseholes, but chin up, they're the only types you should fear around here, and even then, its gonna be a rare encounter. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 30th Jul 2020 9:37am)

Congrats to the people who tested positive and likely did so because they attended some big house party rammy, and that's why we're here. Pubs and restaurants will be fine though, because they're not seeing increases in cases from them. They'll be tracking and tracing any cunt from those. Its all coming from people visiting others, and likely in ludicrous numbers. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 1st Sep 2020 7:58pm)

Ever got shit off the public? I'd never give people shit who do the jobs you highlighted, they're just getting shit done, but undoubtedly you've dealt with some total wallopers. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 2:24pm)

Reprobates probably think you just turn up and decide to do what you want for a laugh. Staring at a bin and going "nah it needs 2 or 3 more bags before we lift it". by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 2:42pm)

"virtually zero" until someone walks by you, coughs, sneezes or breathes anything above a normal soft inhale/exhale, and youre suddenly wafted with a huge cloud of water vapour that contains the virus if they're infected. That misty breath could be a death sentence. Get a mask on, keep your distance, don't fuck about. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 6:13pm)

Shame someone cant put a hammer through it because itll just refreeze. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 6:21pm)

What are you on about? Away and put your heid up your arse. If it was broken, it'd be less of an attraction, less likely for people to be gathered up in stupid numbers, possibly spreading a deadly virus. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Jan 2021 1:03am)

Am I suggesting otherwise? Get a grip. COVID-19 is worse than your average cold or flu. I managed to survive swine flu back when that was a thing, and I'd rather not get struck down with something worse because people can't take shut seriously. The people in this inage are super irresponsible. The reason you wear a mask is to prevent the usual moisture exhalation so you don't infect others. Its common courtesy but the clips I've seen online, theres an incredibly low level of mask usage. We really need to knuckle down on this shit or we'll still be here, same shit, next year. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Jan 2021 1:00am)

When I was a kid, my mum let from them. Once had a pipe burst above our kitchen and flood it. They didn't fix it for weeks. Couldn't run upstairs water in the bathroom without starting a flood again so I spent the whole time not washing because it made my mum break down badly every time it occurred. I'd just started secondary school and the bullying was horrendous because of it. Would end up trying to wash myself in the sinks at school but it was never enough. Basically, fuck them, they're scum. They don't care about their tenants. They care about their bottom line. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 18th Jan 2021 1:30am)

Almost went to Exodus on the 8th of March, and it turns out the band were contagious. Probably a few cases came out of that in Glasgow. Went to Napalm Death in February. Wouldn't be a bad last gig, all things considered. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 25th Jan 2021 10:46pm)

Did the move myself for University, knew absolutely nobody when I went. Was perfectly fine, but then again, I'm a mental shut-in who just plays video games all day.

Now I'm back here. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 13th Feb 2021 12:19am)

Would love to but some of the pavements are in some state. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 22nd Feb 2021 10:09am)

I used to be homeless, got a council house in the Merchant City, and all I had were some skates. Would slap them on and belt around Glasgow Green for hours if I couldn't sleep. Some awrite surfaces back then but see when Autumn came, I'd scream for all the leaves and twigs. Road tax but, thats just a tax on owning a vehicle, not really for road maintenance. Shite that we suffer potholes like fuck here but the weather is what it is. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 22nd Feb 2021 10:24am)

There's probably a few good spots under bridges and motorways, particularly ones that cross the Clyde, but you'll more than likely punt your board into the river at one point. Lets hope the pitch for the skate park to get built under the motorway in the Gorbals happens. Would be a really good spot for one, since the land is just empty right now. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 9th Mar 2021 3:22pm)

Not really. Had hair down to my waist (now my shoulders) and it wasn't much tougher, nor more expensive, than a regular barbers. Cut and blow dry isn't you going in for a tint and a 3 hour gab. They'll slot you in and do you reasonable. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 9:11pm)

They were antivax and anti-lockdown nutters. Went right by my window on London Road, van was pure coated in shite about freedom and government brainwashing. Ignore the bastards. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 11th Apr 2021 12:40pm)

Aye, went past mine on London Road and could hear them parked somewhere in the Barras blasting it. Ought to get the polis on them. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 15th Apr 2021 12:29pm)

They seem to be the same cunts going through the east end. A mix of anti-vax, alt-right, unionist loonyism. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 15th Apr 2021 12:30pm)

I live quite quite the distance from that madcap house. Looking up London Road protest house should find you all sorts of stuff on it though. I think the guy feels slighted by the government over something so slowly liquefied his brain over the years until his current state. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 15th Apr 2021 2:47pm)

Never been bothered by the Morrisons guys and I do my main shopping there. Never seen them give anyone trouble. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 18th Apr 2021 4:24pm)

Get a grip. Alcohol consumption outdoors in Glasgow isn't allowed for a reason, and they're bag-searching to prevent people organising big outdoor bevvies, which is all part of hammering the virus tae bits at the moment. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 24th Apr 2021 1:47am)

The images I've seen are mental. People queueing in pishing rain to sit outside in that pishing rain. Honestly depressing stuff. People ought to adjust their socialising if it can't be done without alcohol. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 28th Apr 2021 11:49am)

Don't gie a fuck. Go for a fucking walk with them or something. Social dependence on alcohol is a disease. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 28th Apr 2021 11:54am)

Pretty pathetic. Must be a hunner other places that are open and could do with customers. Imagine queueing for a fucking Wetherspoons. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 1st May 2021 4:32pm)

Dont even gies that. You cant drink inside under current restrictions, and they dont appear to have a sizeable outdoor area for the stupid amount of people there. If its scran they need, plenty other places are just as accessible for price. Looking forward to being back in lockdown again, just like what happened after last summer. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 1st May 2021 4:52pm)

Theres still quite a large part of the population unvaccinated, and we have more contagious variants going around, which have yet to be understood in terms of efficacy versus a vaccine. Also, those people infected who aren't vaccinated are perfect breeding grounds for mutation. I suppose you're happy to sacrifice the safety of anyone under 50, aye? Fuck off, you selfish cunt. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 1st May 2021 6:05pm)

So much of Glasgow looked like the most grim and utterly depressing shit back then. Born in 1990 in the Gorbals so never saw this era of Glasgow. Just utter deprivation wherever you looked. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 2nd May 2021 6:51pm)

My maw used to always tell us to never trust a Tory. She grew up in the 70s and then had her teens in the 80s, just awful awful times. We've come incredibly far from what you can see in historic photos like these. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 2nd May 2021 8:10pm)

Guess you're the type of toilet water drinker who doesn't understand what "herd immunity" actually means. With persistent avoidance to vaccination being high in society, even at single digit percents, there's still a huge risk of a continuation of the pandemic. You also forget that there's speculation on the requirement of booster shots every year, to avoid new variants getting hold. You need to understand that total eradication is required, not a half-arsed measure where we just let people die because of selfish cunts who want to drink pints. I think its you who needs to attend a biology class again. Go do some reading, fuck sake. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/03/health/covid-herd-immunity-vaccine.html by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 3rd May 2021 4:39pm)

That would be 4 really, but nice to see you've got nothing to get back at what I've said, becauss you're a mince-brained fud. Exiting this pandemic too early is a huge risk, especially with the crowds you see at restaurants, pubs and more. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 3rd May 2021 9:17pm)

Anyone attending this is likely to damage George Square with huge gouges left by their knuckles dragged through the ground. Hope they get fined. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 10th May 2021 5:20pm)

Nice assumption, but unlike your poor guess at my personage, there'll certainly be knuckle draggers at this event. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 10th May 2021 6:37pm)

I'd very much enjoy seeing both posh cunts and knuckle dragging fitbaw ultras get tae fuck. You can get annoyed all you like that the majority of the city would rather see childish fan behaviour kept to the living rooms of those fans, but it won't change anything. One look at what went on at the last gathering and you'd understand. Especially irresponsible in a pandemic, too. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 10th May 2021 6:48pm)

A lot of immigration to Canada came fae Scotland so i guess its a just a mural about that. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 11th May 2021 11:42am)

Users in the comments here getting mad about the extension on lockdown, not even worth replying to their utterly smooth brained comments. Cunts would rather see deaths and an uptick in infections so they can get one wee shot at the pub. Personally I'd rather see we all fucking stay in lockdown until we're in the low tens of infections nationwide. Otherwise we're just tempting fate, especially when you see the Tories of all people panic and pick up vaccination because of the presence of the Indian variant. Fuck ye if you think lockdown is hard. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 14th May 2021 6:30pm)

You're a stupid cunt for equating a virus with road traffic accidents. Its not like you suddenly get the urge to go driving if a car drives by you at any point, and then anyone you drive by gets the same urge, until we're all driving around like mental. A virus spreads indiscriminately, doesn't matter if the person is vaccinated or not. People can still catch it, spread it, get ill from it, and you're only creating a breeding ground for ever-worse variants with a cavalier "fuck it, i want drink :(" attitude. We're still nowhere near the vaccination levels needed to prevent things spiralling out of control again. Not to mention that people working in the environments people are so desperate to get back to are vastly under-vaccinated. Aye, fuck it, fling them all under the bus so you can get a fucking pint. It sickens me. Vaccination data here, for your education. You probably need to go take a look at it. https://public.tableau.com/profile/phs.covid.19#!/vizhome/COVID-19DailyDashboard\_15960160643010/Overview by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 15th May 2021 1:07am)

You're a fucking tool. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 19th May 2021 12:06pm)

Nice wee bit of racism and misunderstanding there. This is all down to the Indian variant getting here because the UK government didnt stop travel from there until recently. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 22nd May 2021 2:44pm)

No you nugget, its because the UK didnt stop people coming back from India, and we have a large Indian population in parts of Glasgow. Too little too late from the UK government on preventing the virus getting here. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 22nd May 2021 2:42pm)

Wow, almost like theres a pandemic where the pipers have canceled the event for the 2nd year in a row out of caution, but a fitbaw event is fine? Also great assumption I don't live on the doorstep of the Green and have to deal with the dross that populate the streets during events like TRNSMT, which will likely populate with the same types considering the alcohol will be flowing. Already got my Glasgow Life letter through the door about the event, and it just doesn't sit right considering we're still in a bad state for organising shite like this. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 29th May 2021 11:42am)

Safe as fuck. It's certainly no Easterhouse or Bridgeton. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 1:11pm)

If you can get em, they do monthly contracts so you don't need to worry about cancellation fees, since big ISPs will try and force 12 or even 24 month contracts on you. Pains in the fucking arse if you won't be around for all that time. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 1:48pm)

Its awful when theres a bam magnet event on like TRNSMT or the fireworks. Just nothing but fighting in the streets outside and one hell of a fucking state for the surroundings. Litter, graffiti (not even the good kind) and pish all over. When its the Pipe Band Championships or Proms, you see less of that, at least. However, the absolute state events leave the park in isnt cool. Fucked grass, plants and all. Sure, it gets worked on by the council, but it ruins the use of the park for weeks after. Just hold this shite on some derelict land that could be repurposed as an events space, fuck sake. Would be better hosting the events on concrete than grass, especially in a city known for pishing rain most of the time. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 1:54pm)

The only one that does this is the Pipe Band Championship. Everything else has charged residents. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 1:49pm)

Hyperoptic? Probably not. Their prices are still better than the stuff Virgin and that do, I believe. I pay more for Virgin per month for 250 than Hyperoptic do for 500 on their monthly plan. Can't get Hyperoptic where I live though, hate it. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 2:03pm)

Never once gotten something about that through the door and I've lived on the Green for years. Pipe Band event just puts the tickets through your door by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 2:18pm)

Didnae see the "PROBABLY", did you? I put it in caps there, just so you can understand. Its not far-fetched to think that such opulence was nicked from abroad under the thumb of the empire. Pretty much any fancy building in that section of the city would have been built or financed by rich cunts running tobacco farms and more in the empire at the time. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 4th Jun 2021 8:27pm)

Farcical use of the park. Hope it pishes the entire time. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 11th Jun 2021 5:21pm)

I wish the grass in my area wasn't cut. When they didn't touch it for 6+ months it looked great, swaying in the wind. There were also the odd flower patch growing in it too, but they murdered it all and continue to do so, and it looks like shit. Just fucking leave it to grow, its good for wildlife. Fuck managed greenery aesthetics. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 17th Jun 2021 1:23am)

Vivid memories of going to the Tivoli on Stockwell Street for ice cream, as a wean. Shame its gone now. I'd probably check Italian places. Might do ice cream carry outs if you're not looking for a brand name item from a supermarket. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 18th Jun 2021 3:07pm)

Nah, you're probably better off with Deicide's first album, or just some church burning anthems from Scandinavia. Lamb of God is kid gloves stuff. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 27th Jun 2021 1:49pm)

I've always had my hair cut at Glasgow College via the students. It'll be mega cheap and its always worked well for me. My hair was mid-back length first time, waist length the next.

Been using dating apps myself but its either a few messages back and forth then silence, or just bots bots bots. Can only imagine its hell as a lassie. Hordes of spice boys looking to get mad wae it and shag anything that moves, disregarding the pandemic situation. I'd just like to get out on walks in parks with people and get to know them but everyone just wants a drink in a pub or has a profile pretending they're some world traveller who is always off skiing or some other shite. Just people not being honest, I suppose, advertising themselves as more than they are. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Aug 2021 2:33pm)

You're right about the "social lubricant" stuff but I really hate it because a lot of people substitute their personality with the bevvy. i don't drink and never have, can easily see it when a person is just not comfortable being themselves and its sad/grim. I think a walk outside can be nice. Get a chat on and see if shit really kicks off or not. If you can't get along without alcohol, its probably never working out. And once its done? Grab something to eat or maybe go for that drink, but don't crutch on that stuff. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Aug 2021 4:26pm)

Well, you can go to one you've never been to before, go out and enjoy the weather if its decent, if the person is new to the city you can gie them a tour of our famous green spaces, take a pet out if one of you has one thats walkable, etc. Parks can be more versatile than people give em credit for. I just think drinking culture is bad, famously abused by our society. Its just rotten and always hope people will look oast crutching on a drink, though i suppose you could always opt for a non-alcoholic meet. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 10th Aug 2021 5:51pm)

Only nuisance is the orange walk but that pollutes the city in general, though thank fuck they've not been at it since the pandemic began. Also I'd advise the Gorbals/Hutchestown/Oatlands area as well. Quick cursory look at Facebook marketplace for rentals and theres a good number going below 700 a month. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 11th Aug 2021 2:20pm)

Sorry but weebs are barred fae Glesga. The shops that proclaim to sell manga are actually honeytraps, and you'll be battered within an inch ae yer life by huge muscly men for even daring to try and buy a figurine for hotgluing. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 13th Aug 2021 10:21am)

A weeb is shorthand for weeaboo, a corruption of the word Wapanese, used to describe infantilised people who are obsessed with Japan to an unhealthy level. Usually concerning manga and anime, they believe the country is generally a flawless fantasy land. Not saying the OP is one, mind you, but you always have to be wary. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 13th Aug 2021 2:24pm)

These types of posts should be banned. Sick of seeing the same old boring complaints. You think coming to Reddit for a whinge will get anything done? Go and piss and moan at your local councillor, but keep in mind Labour saddled the city with monumental levels of debt that is impacting all levels of service, especially rubbish disposal. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 18th Aug 2021 2:20pm)

Do not go near the Calton skate spot, unless you bring a brush with you. Its loaded with broken bottles and drunks normally spend their time getting pished there. The Doulton fountain outside the Peoples Palace is very close by, is cleaner and has beautifully flat ground for new skaters to find their feet. Also some single steps for practicing going down them too. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 24th Aug 2021 3:28pm)

Should look into weightlifting specifically. It'll help accelerate a visual change in the body that you'll be surprised by. Squats, deadlifts and bench press. Any good PT for this will advise adjusting diet to suit a lifting regimen that'll really help. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 30th Aug 2021 11:26am)

Good guys with guns is a stupid idea and it leads to many deaths in countries that believe in it. Anyway, the cops have their batons at the ready for a knife attack. A knife attack requires no draw, which is why they have their batons couched on their shoulders. They can crack down on the arm in any section and guaranteed you'd find it hard to keep hold of your knife and get through any stabproof vest the polis wear. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 3rd Sep 2021 10:25am)

Aye, and that's why the cops here are useless, they're all dead because everyone whips a knife out. Stop panning for guns to become normal in Scottish society. Its a fucking mentalists wet dream. The cops clearly have training to keep a minimum distance and they clearly understand the point of keeping a weapon couched instead of risking adding draw time into the motion of striking. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 3rd Sep 2021 6:36pm)

I live next to it and even without them playing, theres this constant bass thrum rattling through my house from the general music played over the PAs, 9am until about 10pm at night, then theres two hours of bams loitering and shouting at each other in the street. Fuckin' worst time of the year. Should just leave the park as it is and not waste it on shite like this. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 11th Sep 2021 9:47am)

You'd have to be a rocket to think that one happens at the same time as the other, all the time. High infection levels means transmission is possible, leading to mutations, and another deeper level of pandemic. Can't wait for the next dangerous mutation so we all see more lockdowns and even more deaths, until the next vaccine, then repeat repeat repeat, all because cunts want to "get back to normal". The "normal" people knew is fucking dead, and has been for a long time. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 11th Sep 2021 4:34pm)

There's a mental occult shop on High Street, and you could also go to the nearby Necropolis for a wander, and also Glasgow Cathedral too. End it at Drygate Brewery if you both like a bevvy, or just get food there instead. Very close vicinity to each other, would make a day out easy. Plenty transport around, like High Street train station, or Central/Queen Street. https://www.google.com/maps/place/23+Enigma:+Occult+Shop+established+in+1995/@55.8607108,-4.2393568,18.83z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1shigh+street!3m4!1s0x488846a7b3dc24cb:0xf32aec01e63bccd9!8m2!3d55.8605394!4d-4.2390895 by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 11th Sep 2021 10:04pm)

Theres trains on Halloween, which is a Sunday. I need to get one then, no other choice, and its £16 if I pay for it now, almost a month in advance. Its fucking mental. They've got a right to strike though. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Oct 2021 5:41pm)

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Ireland was invaded by the UK and ravaged for the longest of times. Hunger strikers were just people who got sick of that, and fought in as many ways as they could to protest the continued stranglehold the UK had on Ireland. If you're gonna get ass-blasted about a single hunger strike memorial march, maybe you ought to make it a little less obvious that you couldn't care less about the numerous crimes the UK state committed for centuries in Ireland, which have marches organised in support of those crimes, in multitudinous fashion every year. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Oct 2021 5:48pm)

Hahaha fuck off, look at the insane levels of apologism here for the bigoted Orange Walk! You're definitely getting blocked. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 3rd Oct 2021 6:10pm)

Aye, they did all that bombing, completely unprovoked by the UVF and UK government action to supress pro-unification protests, aye? Gusty Spence and his mad campaign to kill anyone pro-unity had absolutely nothing to do with causing the 60s and onwards troubles, everyone was just pally up until that point. Fuck off with your British apologisms. War is messy. They're not saints, but their struggle can be remembered by people all the same. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Oct 2021 1:34am)

You're an idiot if you think the 60s Troubles werent provoked by the unionists first. And to talk about the Irish independence struggles as "history" is ridiculous. It has been going on ever since the original subjugation of Ireland, in one form or another. Away and stick your apologisms for British crimes up your arse. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Oct 2021 1:37am)

Had 5 viewings for my place since I move out on Halloween. Vulture landlord has pumped the rent by £200! Everyone is dismissive of the issues in the house and just wants to immediately pay the deposit and take it. COP26 and landlord greed has really cursed everything. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 11th Oct 2021 6:34pm)

They're not raising my rent, they're just punting it up by an incredible amount for no reason, so the next person gets sucker punched by the leech that is landlordism. I'm leaving at the end of the month anyways. Speaking with the guy who came out and did the viewings for the agency, he blamed COP26 as the reason for the increase. Apparently they can't "compete" with other agencies if they don't raise their rent? Stupid nonsensical landlord bullshit. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 11th Oct 2021 8:54pm)

Aye, they're a cunt for it. I'm leaving at an unfortunate time for people wanting to find somewhere to stay. Place is pretty run down and the landlord thinks they can have a go like this, terrible stuff. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 11th Oct 2021 9:37pm)

As long as you're trying to help out a delegate, its not scummy. If you're a buy-to-let landlord who runs the place as a 24-7 AirBNB with no real concern for the fact that nutters might be using the place for partying it up on stag/hen dos, then you're a cunt. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 14th Oct 2021 12:24am)

Absolutely mental stuff. The prop manager is gonna get their cunt kicked in over this, for sure. No idea how you could actually hand a live gun over when its meant to just be a prop. Supposedly it was used at a shooting range the day before filming, so it had a live round instead of being empty. Can't really use lookalike guns that don't have firing actions because they'll look shite on camera. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 22nd Oct 2021 12:16pm)

Could have been any number of factors. A scene with rapid fire between targets, lots of scenery noise and explosions, nobody really noticing the people going down before the call for cut.

Tell ye whit, I moved from Glasgow to Japan a couple year ago and its no better here at all. So many cunts are on their phones, or have tablets mounted to their steering wheels so they can watch shite as they cruise along. Once saw a guy with a full-on broadsheet spread out across his wheel, peering over the top of it, as he drove. Fucking mental, honestly. I bike to work and I've decided I'd rather add another 10 or 15 mins to my trip by taking a more roundabout route down wee walking lanes around the farms of my area if it means I don't have to deal with more fucking mentalists like that. by DoubleelbuoD (Sun 11th Jun 2023 11:40am)

Things always ebb and flow in different ways. When I was a teenager, getting asked what team you support, or simply just wearing the wrong colour in the wrong area, almost always ended in a fight with a knife appearing at the end. Nowadays, that stuff is much less of a focus or danger. However, things like homelessness and drug addiction have gone wild thanks to the decline of the UK, which Scotland lacks the power to manage in its entirety. Its shite but maybe one day we can get out from under the thumb. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 19th Jun 2023 2:50am)

Worked enough sweat shop call centres and never bothered for promotion because the pay was always marginally better compared to the workload increase (managing mostly feckless people while getting piled on with customer abuse because you're now "the manager"). Just awful jobs in an awful industry. Can't imagine trying to make it a career at all, especially with how targets get set continually upwards and you're always stressed oot meeting those. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 19th Jun 2023 12:17pm)

Haha, the gaps in calls actually got me started in learning Japanese, which led to my current job, teaching English in Japan. Used to memorise 10 kanji, wait until my next call was done, then see if I could remember the meaning and reading. And aye, I guess. I just don't trust the security to be there. Last place I worked had 3 different consolidations with other companies, laying off a lot of people in the process, with jobs outsourced to Romania in the end. Then there's the fear of contracts being dropped by clients, losing jobs, etc. Can probably tell I hate call centres. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 19th Jun 2023 2:55pm)

They always turn up during night school classes, see the lights on, and decide to hang around even longer, making it so nobody can hear each other in class, even with the windows shut. Local polis don't do anything because there's technically nothing illegal happening and its just "bored kids", since we're rural. You're probably best getting a local politician in on it.

Used to live on Parnie Street and I was coming home from a late shift one night. Went to turn into my close and a guy was squatting, hands on each wall of the side of the close entrance, having a full blown shite. He went "Aw sorry mate, ye live here?", yanked his troosers up and stepped aside. Found a shite there the next morning when I opened the close door and it smeared all along the floor. Also once saw 3 or 4 women having a scrap over who got to use the handset in the phone box across from the Fish Plaice. The Cross was always full of mad shit happening. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 27th Jun 2023 8:13am)

As a Glaswegian man, I would rather slap my baws into a vice and spin the handle than approach a woman stranger in the street, shop or bar/pub over the prospect of dating. It seems like an insane thing to do because I imagine I'd come over like a pure mental creep. Especially with knowledge of how your average man treats women.

I think it's better, because men have more awareness of being wallopers nowadays. Just the thought of how much unwanted attention lassies must get is immense. Sure, you could argue being in a club is sort of advertising you want to meet people, but not everyone does. Some lassies are just on nights out with pals. Having to deal with some slabbering persistent arsewipe, perhaps even multiple? Fuck that. Some guys just don't know what no means. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 28th Jun 2023 6:13am)

Its a tough one. Do we allow anyone to get a big and strong breed of dug and then allow them to mistreat it to the point it harms someone? How do we prevent that? Wouldn't it make sense just not to allow such powerful animals in peoples hands in the first place? Big dug lovers/owners will obviously go mental and fling petitions at yer face going "awww naaawwwww breed legislation is useless!" but come on tae fuck! Aye sure, a smaller dug can still maul a wean or a postman's arse cheeks, but the attraction of a big powerful dug to the kind of utter rocket that would love to have something like that, and subsequently mistreat it to the point of it being dangerous, is right there. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 7th Jul 2023 7:19am)

Grew up in the Stirlingfauld Flats in the Gorbals and I remember the omnipresence that was all the maws hanging out the windows, regardless of how many floors up they lived, gabbing across the huge gap between the towers.

You sound a bit mental. Taxation is fine, as long as the services gained from it provide appropriately. If you're allergic to tax, you ought to bolt off to some shitehole in the US, along with those droves you mention. You act like the state is the issue when its basic capitalism at fault, such as private corporations going ham on greedflation causing a lot of the problems you're annoyed about. THATS what needs addressed. A better future is possible if we're not completely obsessed with money. We're under the thumb because the rich keep getting richer, obscenely so. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 13th Jul 2023 3:07am)

The absolute best bit about the entirety of the lockdown period of 2020 stretching a bit into 2021 was the uncut grass.

Others have given you a good enough kicking but I like to stick my foot in as well. Its not NIMBYism to oppose capitalism like this. We have plenty other places housing could be built. You know 100% that these houses won't be affordable for your average person, and only a small percentage will be classed "affordable" so they can get the permission to construct them, meaning they'll still be expensive as fuck. Luckier still if some are classed as social housing, but that's rare as fuck. What we really need to do is get converting brownfield into homes, not using fires as excuses to re-develop places for rich cunts that squat on the land, waiting for opportunities. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 13th Jul 2023 3:20am)

I used to see a car pull up and they'd be dumping a fuckload of stuff on the shore, like vegetable cut-offs and the like. Probably some restaurant or cafe by the amount they'd be chucking.

Used to live right next to the Green on Monteith Row. Whole park used to be shut a couple of weeks after the event every year. Hated it because I used to enjoy a walk around the park, looking for squirrels and birds. Even with all the stages packed up, the barriers would still be there. Supposed they'd be doing landscaping to sort out the fucked grass but nope, no repairs by the time it fully re-opened. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 15th Jul 2023 4:52am)

Theres plenty of space they could use otherwise. Always imagined all that empty as fuck land along the Clyde could be used for it. Transform the SECC car park? Theres better options than fucking up the Green and surrounding areas. by DoubleelbuoD (Sat 15th Jul 2023 6:19am)

Love the handwringing from cunts about graffiti. This is perfectly fine. It's not some wee scabby neds menchie, or a threat of some young team that the area is "theirs".

Can't remember the name of the scheme for the life of me but in 2009 or thereabouts, I had a job through a government scheme working at the GFT. Pay was ludicrously good and I had a council house in the Merchant City because I'd been homeless. 190 quid a month rent on Parnie Street! Mind you, had to deal with constant jakies from the courts but it is what it is. The job wasn't too bad but I used to get pretty bad anxiety palpitations from dealing with how busy it got at times. Other than that, tonnes of slooooooow days manning the empty bar or ushering the same French divorce drama 5 times a day. Got free tickets for my pals and made them discover the wonders of weird world cinema that wasn't just Hollywood over and over. Was on the job with some other people on the same scheme and made good friends with them, had a laugh. Can't say I miss working with the general public though. People are fucking rockets! by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 25th Jul 2023 6:39am)

Weegie transplant now living in Japan. Its 100% a tiger mosquito. They congregate around stagnant water of any amount, so that could be a puddle outside, a bucket full of water, or a clogged gutter. They go out around 8pm to search for a blood meal to properly get their eggs fed before being laid in said stagnant water. I imagine this wee bastard was out earlier than 8 though, considering Scotland is far colder than Japan. They don't fare well with wind, or direct sun and very high temperatures. When it gets to the upper 20s here, after sundown, the wee arseholes are fucking everywhere, especially indoors! Sleeping is a nightmare, but you just need a big mosquito net propped round your bed and you're sound. I'm amazed to see one in Scotland, though. Could have managed to stow away on some fruit from abroad, perhaps. Life cycle involves three weeks as an adult, plenty of time to survive transport, since they don't really feed like we do. They only have a 200 meter zone they'll wander around in from their chosen breeding grounds, so they've probably just wandered in through an open door or window. They don't infest in the same way something like a termite or a cockroach would. Anyway, hope that was educational. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 31st Jul 2023 6:29am)

In countries which take rehabilitation as a priority over retributive justice, we don't see this kind of insane logic. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Aug 2023 4:29am)

I am surprised. People ought to think about the background to the case and how the prison system actually works. The guy pled guilty, the judge would take this as at least remorse for the actions, and its well understood that locking someone up for really long periods of times results in hugely increased chances of speedy recidivism once released. The idea that people ought to be locked away eternally is senseless. Its retributive and gets nobody anywhere. Rehabilitation is key here. If the cunt behaves himself, gets out and disappears into the background noise of society, we're all for the better here. If he re-offends, his record will stand to make him receive a larger punishment. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 3rd Aug 2023 4:26am)

The toilet for the local train where I live is on a magnetic lock, and when I slid it close, I guess it bounced and didn't get enough time to properly lock itself. Train lurched, door slid open, people opposite the toilet can see me sat down, scants round my ankles. Got up into a semi-crouch and slid the door closed, properly this time. Worse still, this happened in Japan, so they all got exposed to seeing this pale weegie foreigner doing his business. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 25th Aug 2023 3:01am)

You need to plug it into the console to do any Safe Mode operations. Controllers won't operate in Safe Mode without being hooked up via USB. If the controller isn't being recognised, try another cable. Happens all the time. Source: Used to work PS Support Europe-wide, until a year and a bit ago, and I'd be screaming ma heid aff on mute at people who just wouldn't follow the simple instructions I was giving to sort their problems out, because they'd say its too much of a faff about. Amount of times I've had Italian maws shouting "PRONTO" at me on the phone, as if I could reach down the line and physically do what I was asking them to do, is innumerable. [https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/hardware/safe-mode-playstation/](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/safe-mode-playstation/) You'll probably need to reinstall the system software, depending on the problem. Doing this commonly sorts most shite out, though. Guidance can be found at the above link. You'll need to stick the system software on a USB stick using a computer, selecting Option 8. It'll wipe the console clean so any saves that haven't been backed up to PS Plus, if you're a sub, will be lost. You can sign into any accounts you have afterwards to redownload digitally bought games and the like. So glad I'm oot that job, but godspeed to you getting it fixed for your wean. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 14th Sep 2023 5:30am)

Take note it absolutely has to be a DualSense controller to operate Safe Mode, third party controllers won't work. A DualSense is the PS5 standard controller, just for reference. Mind and try the other ports on the console if the one you try first doesn't give you a reaction. You can also try resetting the controller too. There's a wee hole on the back you can push a pin into and hold for 5 seconds, which will reset it. Shouldn't entirely be necessary but every little helps. by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 14th Sep 2023 8:08am)

Sorry, live on the other side of the planet now so slow response. No certain port is required for plugging in the USB stick. You sound like you're on the right track though. Definitely got a folder called "PS5" on the USB stick, and an "UPDATE" folder inside that? Make sure the file is called PS5UPDATE.PUP, all caps for all folders and file. If yes, triple check you got the reinstallation file and not simply the update file at this link: [https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/hardware/ps5/system-software/](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5/system-software/). Both the update and reinstallation file have the same possible name, which is beyond fucking stupid for Sony, but they've got their heids up their arses sometimes. Wish they were different. As a precaution, I would delete any update files you might have on your computer and USB stick, then download the reinstallation file and whack it on, then go through the process again. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 15th Sep 2023 2:06am)

Used to live on Parnie Street and had a good view of the phone box opposite the pet shop on the corner. Many a night sat at my kitchen window, watching what went on there, as my dinner cooked. Favourite was watching 3 women all having a right good stooshie in the box, scrapping for the receiver. Never caught why. Used to work late when I lived there, so I'd often come home around 1am. Once caught a guy with his palms on the close entrance walls, trousers round his ankles, half squatting, curling one out. He pulled his trousers up round his knees and shuffled out the way, went "Aw ye live here mate?", being nice enough to "let me in". Next day, there was a big 90 degree angle smear of shite from where someone had unexpectedly opened the close door and brushed his shite all over the tiles. Had my house door attempted to be opened innumerable amounts of times when I lived in that close too. The courts nearby always meant there were junkies hanging around, and they'd go up and down the stairs all day, trying all the handles, hoping a door was open. Whenever I heard footsteps coming up, I'd pause my video games, get up oot my chair and stand at the door, waiting for the tender turning of the handle. Locked as it was, they weren't getting in, but I'd give my best and loudest BOO when it happened. They'd belt out the close like they were playing chap door runaway, and I'd watch them run in the direction of the Fish Plaice from my kitchen window. Never felt like it meant anything to report it to the polis, because they'd always be back it by tomorrow, and were long gone in the day before anyone cops showed up to ask about it. Only time anything actually happened to improve the area was when the drug dealer I lived above got chucked oot by the housing association (aye, its mostly council houses on Parnie Street!), after a load of us in the close got sick of him having junkies round at all hours. Reported it to the HA and he was out on his ear in a couple of weeks once they'd "investigated" it. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 19th Sep 2023 2:52am)

Calling the Barras the "East End" is mental. Good spot for it, though. Probably hard to obtain real estate for this kind of thing next to the pharmacies that dole out methadone on Argyle Street, where drug deals are likely occurring too. Every study with safe injection rooms has shown they help immensely. About time we got this rolling, and thank fuck the Tories didn't stick their nose in and try to stop it. Probably hoping it goes tits up and they can pin it all on the big bad nationalists, once again. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 19th Sep 2023 3:12am)

Funny how you still hear about drug use and trade in those parts of the world, eh? Fuck sake. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 19th Sep 2023 3:10am)

Just say you hate the policy and piss off already. It has to go somewhere, and you're best putting it in the place where people buy and sell. The Barras is an obvious shout. By providing a safe space where people can use, you invite them to go into counselling on addiction, reducing use in the end. Injection rooms have proven themselves countless times world over, and its about time we got one in a decent location like this by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 19th Sep 2023 3:09am)

You keep up with this absolutely shite "invite them into your home" patter. It means fuck all. I'm fine with safe injection sites like this. They're a necessity when you have a drug death rate that we have. People in the area might piss and moan about it being there, but would they like the alternative? The area is historically, and still today, rather crime-borne. You'd have to be an idiot to buy a home there or move there without accepting that in the future it may get worse. These imagined concerned citizens can fuck off to Bearsden if they're worried about that. by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 19th Sep 2023 3:53am)

This was always how it worked. Went to Shawlands in mid 2000s. Every other day, there'd be a gang of Hillpark weans at the back entrance to Shawlands. If you had Maths last period, you'd be greetin because guaranteed there'd be a fight for you to go through or try to avoid. Maths building right next to the back gates. They wouldn't let kids out the front if they had Maths last because the exits were too small up the front doors, you'd get a rattling off a teacher if you tried heading that way. Other days, Shawlands neds would head over to Hillpark to do the same to them. Was always absolute chaos and I never understood why the two schools had problems with each other, but its likely to just be something stupid like them being neighbours. Had a pal who lived in Thornliebank and he had to get a bus that went by Hillpark to get home. The few times I went to hang out at his, it was like a zombie apocalypse. Driver pure flooring it down the road while tonnes of clatty Hillpark weans are hitting the windows with anything they can get their hands on. They used to make human chains across the road to get the bus to stop, jump on and start battering anyone in Shawlands uniforms. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 20th Sep 2023 4:45am)

Went to Shawlands Academy in the mid 2000s. As a teenager, the area always seemed really nice, but I grew up in the Gorbals and Castlemilk so take that for some perspective. Loads of cafes, pubs, clubs, different shops, supermarkets and all that within reasonable distance. Queens Park on the doorstep too! Houses seemed really nice, mix of big fuck-off spacious places and wee houses above the shops. Street layout seemed a bit mental to teen me, lots of dead-ends and really tight wee streets that people have parked like cunts on, making it impossible to move a car down. I know for sure that in that period, there must have been so many people raging about Shawlands Academy weans at lunchtime. Out we came, pouring into all the cafes (especially the Greggs) screaming, shouting and generally being the wee arseholes teenagers are. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 20th Sep 2023 4:50am)

I mind seeing a deer in the Necropolis and thought I was going fucking mental. Where in fucks name do they actually live?!

When the buses got stopped, Metro newspapers were the weapon of choice for self-defence. Used to open them to the mid-point, roll it up, fold the tube in half, and keep folding it in half until you couldnt anymore.

This is ancient, but I used to work the Next in the Glasgow Fort. Was such a fucking shambles. My first proper job, was left solo on the tills in the Home department during Christmas. Did my best to manage all the sales and returns I could, but without adequate access to the systems, I couldn't do them all. Had to try and summon staff from elsewhere to help me, and thankfully all the queue were super nice to me about it. They all gave the boss an absolute fucking walloping when he showed up, gave him right good lip about leaving teenage me alone to handle it all. Once got told by the boss prick to build a wardrobe for display. Couldn't get some of the dowels to fit the holes, and he got agitated about it. Took one from me, forced it into the hole and split the absolute fuck out the shite MDF board that the wardrobe consisted of. He went off in a huff and said we didn't need it anymore.

There's plenty of neds who got reformed from all the fighting. For instance, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme\_Armstrong\_(author)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Armstrong_(author)).

You might remember Aaron McConville, the fanny who boasted about a murder he committed on YouTube, sending himself to jail. I grew up around him and the fannies in that gang the Young Sooside Cumbie. Just because the poster made some very good observations as to why ned culture died out doesn't mean they're suspicious.

Low 80s when gaming doesn't mean much without knowing about your case, its airflow, the settings of the game you're playing, etc. That's actually a somewhat reasonable temp if you're really pushing things, like gunning a raytraced game through its paces. Idling at 60 though, woaft, that's a real issue. As others have said, its probably your GPU needs a re-pasting. However, before that, I would check your fan curves. There's a myriad of software out there to do this. Its possible that your GPU isn't actually cooling itself down appropriately, leading to your situation. A completely uncooled GPU is going to blow itself up tae fuck if you try doing anything. MSI Afterburner is the best for managing and monitoring your fans on your PC. Here's a guide: [https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-customize-gpu-cooling-using-msi-afterburner/](https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-customize-gpu-cooling-using-msi-afterburner/) Before you decide its best to take it to a shop, you're better actually diagnosing this problem yourself. First off, it'll save you a lot of money, and second off, part of the joy of PC gaming is learning how it all works and understanding the insides and out of it all. If you're well and truly stumped after going through all this, then you can consider taking it to a shop, but it should never be a first resort. You'll just waste time and money for yourself, when the majority of PC "issues" can be resolved in a matter of minutes. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Nov 2023 6:03am)

Opening a post like this and finding no pictures is like doing a jobby and seeing there's nae shit tickets to wipe your arse with after. Please, do better. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Nov 2023 6:08am)

I'm usually out on an enrichment train trip with my pet gang of apes, but just for you, I'll avoid them have a shit-flinging contest this weekend. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Nov 2023 6:05am)

I keep getting Ross Sales and Lettings showing up in my TikTok feed and its all shit like this. This walloper landlord is absolutely at it with the "bills included" patter. Let ME decide that stuff, and fuck off trying to scrape a bit off the top by assuming astronomically high costs. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Nov 2023 6:13am)

All you need is your 3 basic lifts. Squats, deadlifts, bench press. Nip along to that class, give it a go, see how they advise you. If you still feel like you need more guidance, all you need to do is check some videos out on YouTube. There's many solid fitness guides out there. Just try and avoid anything putting their own "twist" on the 3 aforementioned lifts because you don't need to change them up! Just remember the best and most basic lifting advice, form over weight. You want to get comfy with the bar before you start trying to do 1 rep max level stuff. Perform your motions slowly, make sure you're not wobbling or finding it difficult to keep balance, and you'll be grand. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Nov 2023 6:16am)

No, you idiot. You wanna make a statement about things being as bad as they are, at least post proof about it so we can all rip you for being a rocket. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 20th Nov 2023 9:45am)

Some laugh. This is like when rural Americans shite their pants over their favourite dive bar suddenly being blown up tae fuck by a group of terrorists from the Middle East. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 22nd Nov 2023 1:07am)

People will piss and moan about the state of the city today but when you look at this era, it really was a fucking horrific dump. Progress has been made in so many ways, and aye, there's still more to be done, but at least we crawled out of the hovel that the post-industrial world left us in. Suppose it doesn't help most photos from then are in black and white, but really, that's what it must have felt like. A city of concrete grey, damp, mud and shit. Clatty, boggin, all those words we love to use to describe dirt. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 22nd Nov 2023 1:12am)

I suppose by central Europe you mean Slovakia, Czechia etc. If you're capable of living there, Glasgow will be paradise in comparison. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 22nd Nov 2023 1:17am)

Aye! Everything about that era makes the UK look like absolute shit. Even London, which would arguably be the most forward place on the island, just looks soul-sucking. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 22nd Nov 2023 8:48am)

Turn up at the advertised time or just don't? by DoubleelbuoD (Thu 23rd Nov 2023 10:00am)

I mean...these things are pretty much the same for a guy and a gal. Skin is skin, unless you're buying into marketing that this is better than that because of magical differences between the sexes. Perhaps you mean you don't want the guy its for feeling like they're "gay" or whatever for going in? Not sure any spas exist that look like the inside of Abu Ghraib prison. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 1:09am)

Aye because a polis can tell if someone is "an illegal" at a glance, and a mask defeats this superpower. Walloper. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 1:11am)

uBlock Origin, pretty essential tool for online browsing. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 4:03am)

If you've actually tried to use code a machine has produced, you'd be crying. That code still needs people to go through it, check it, modify it, etc. You can't just run it off and put it into production. This all ends up creating more work to be done in the end. AI coding is a waste. Better off with humans. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 4:12am)

Because there is absolutely no other reason to wear a mask, and you should always be 100% fine with being recorded? Away and fuckin' shite. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 8:34am)

And this shows you've no idea what goes into actually producing a system that could potentially code all the shite you want. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 9:43am)

"For now" is nonsense. These systems are already eating themselves alive consuming AI generated content to train themselves, leading to issues in output, which has led to large swathes of employees in the third world being employed to actually operate "AI" behind the scenes. Theyre just a modern version of the [Mechanical Turk](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Turk). Each version of something like ChatGPT is shown to be a clown show very quickly. And how are you seriously gonna sell producing the entire infrastructure of a project through a system that can be predictable in its output? Its a huge security risk. People will absolutely study these systems and figure out how they operate, what they put out, and understand where the cracks may be in things constructed through them. "AI" is a joke and will never be a good replacement for humans. The computational power required is insane, the humans needed to check its output, and even PROVIDE the output to fake it working, are just astronomical in their number. The expense to train a system of your own won't be justified in comparison to just employing a bunch of actual humans. Using another companies systems to produce your own is a security and business risk that doesn't outweigh the convenience. Its a gimmick like blockchain that won't really go anywhere without huge damage to society and business. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 24th Nov 2023 9:40am)

Anyone willfully doing this kind of action needs their license fully revoked. You can't just be given a fine, this shite so easily ends up in murder, or a lifelong disability for the person on the bike. Hope the arsewipe gets walloped with everything possible over it. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 2:29am)

Hate crime is a hate crime. Get the polis on it. Wee shites wont learn otherwise. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 2:27am)

You actually think the rich cunts "investing" in building student accommodation with room dimensions like Bar L will suddenly drop prices because others are built in the city? Will they fuck! They'll all be price matching each other and there won't be any drops at all. Even WHEN housing was plentiful, student accommodation was always vastly overpriced. Take those clown shoes and honk yourself off doon the road. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 2:34am)

Its so fucking weird you're being hit with rapid downvotes over this clear and factual info. Glasgow was well known for shipbuilding, we all know that, and the shipyards took oodles of orders from the South in that time. Probably the same wallopers who want to deny that Glasgow was built on the back of slave ownership bringing in ridiculous amounts of money. All you need to do is check the names of streets in Glasgow city centre, look up who the cunts were and what they were doing regarding the Empire, and you'll see. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 2:42am)

"Yes they were bound together over being racist, and this flag stood for their combined feelings on racism, but lets forget that!" Naw. And aye, the Union flag is a load of shite as well. Brits love to go around the world and forget the damage their country has historically done, just because they can waffle on about tea, biscuits and Doctor Who to distract. Its not exactly a welcome sight in many places. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 2:45am)

Mind the guy that runs Zara invented fast fashion as a concept, and is an absolute scumbag otherwise. Reclusive as fuck, knows that the spotlight would cause him mega trouble, and true to his understanding, any time he's ever popped his heid out over the parapet, he's been shown up to be a bastard. Would recommend listening to the Eat The Rich podcast episode covering him. Its a stunning reveal on one of the most major bastards around. Catastrophic environmental damage, homophobia rife in his companies through his own personal opinions, racism and much more.

They don't need "one less reason", they'll do it anyways. I'd rather see actual open housing developed than student housing controlled by some arsewipe who lives abroad, who will forever cling onto the building, even if it goes derelict. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 10:39am)

With actual housing, not student housing propped up by absentee landlord foreign investment? For fuck sake, read what I've actually said. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 29th Nov 2023 2:01pm)

I'd look into the Geek Retreat and figure out when they have MTG nights. If you want to try and prime yourself on the rules before turning up at an actual event, you could try [MTG: Arena](https://magic.wizards.com/en/mtgarena). Its the exact same card game but digital, free to play, and will let you get your feet wet without spending a bunch on cards that you might end up not using or regretting. There's decent tutorials for teaching you how shite works, and it'll run on any old device because of its card game nature. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 1st Dec 2023 4:30am)

These pitches were true hell. Used to always get put in goal because I was the wee bullied wean and I learned to hate diving to save a ball from all the skint elbows I'd get. I now teach in Japan and my school has a big red ash rugby field. The rugby boys have such absolutely fucked limb skin from diving, sliding and all the rest of it on it. No idea how they survive the punishment, but they're a tough lot. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 1st Dec 2023 4:40am)

This post, and your general post history, shows you to be a thick shite. Away and fuck off, we know you're a racist yourself. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 1st Dec 2023 4:49am)

Not racist graffiti but in the early 2010s, I would go on walks in the wee hours with some spray paint and stencils, and cover up bam graffiti. Just anything about their gang, their own menchies, whatever I saw associated with them. I can only hope it upset them. The joys of being unemployed and coming into possession of a lot of "damaged" art shop inventory. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 1st Dec 2023 4:52am)

Nice try. We know you're a fucking walloper. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 1st Dec 2023 9:07am)

No idea about the quality of Geek Retreat users, but its an unfortunate thing about nerdy hobbies that you'll encounter a lot of fucking weirdos. by DoubleelbuoD (Fri 1st Dec 2023 10:41am)

There's no fence outside of the shite they've built to separate Gaza from Israel that would keep most Glaswegian weans out. "Secure a site" is a lot of shite, really. Weans will make it in if they're daft enough to try. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Dec 2023 8:54am)

Might as well shut down the whole sub and get yersel wrapped in tinfoil with this level of paranoia. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Dec 2023 8:53am)

You are off your nut if you think a wean can be stopped from getting into a construction site on their own volition. Weans love climbing and they're far more imaginative than you think. by DoubleelbuoD (Mon 4th Dec 2023 10:09am)

Question is what happens if the University no longer attracts the numbers? Cunts always go "Well we can just convert it to regular housing", but does anyone that isn't a temp student want to live in a shoebox for a cool thousand smackeroonies a month? Every day the Tories make the UK less of an attractive place to come. Gonna be a laugh when nobody wants to come, even to study. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 6th Dec 2023 1:43am)

Its the same fucking mic, whether you're on speaker or not. Load of shite. by DoubleelbuoD (Wed 6th Dec 2023 1:48am)

You'll get fuck kicked out of you if you come to Glasgow and start calling a hoose an "apartment". by DoubleelbuoD (Tue 12th Dec 2023 7:06am)
