Sounds par the course for Cali. Studying there at the minute and the place is honestly a fucking shambles. by Fairwolf (Wed 13th Mar 2019 8:38pm)

Do you know what sort of hours they're hiring for? Renfield street is pretty damn close to my flat, and I've been looking for part time work to do alongside my Uni timetable, but I'm only really able to work so many hours a week, and a lot of places I've been looking at have been asking for 20+ hours by Fairwolf (Wed 6th Nov 2019 7:12pm)

Perfect. Doesn't seem to be much up on their careers website at the minute, and as far as I'm aware they don't take CVs in store anymore either, so should I just keep my eye on the site for the time being? by Fairwolf (Wed 6th Nov 2019 7:29pm)

Cheers! by Fairwolf (Wed 6th Nov 2019 7:42pm)

I can't think of anywhere in the city centre, but Roots & Fruits in the West End, right next to the Kelvinbridge stop, will have plenty by Fairwolf (Fri 31st Jan 2020 4:45pm)

There aren't any barbers or hairdressers open right now, you're probably looking at July before any are. by Fairwolf (Mon 15th Jun 2020 11:56pm)

Hardly. One of the single most effective things at tackling the problem would be control over drug policy. There was wide spread support to open a safe consumption room in Glasgow, and [that blocked by the UK Government](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/glasgow-drug-consumption-rooms-mp-16470978) The SNP certainly don't get off the hook entirely, they should be doing a hell of a lot more. But lets not pretend like it's entirely their fault and the UK can wash their hands of the matter. by Fairwolf (Mon 29th Jun 2020 1:39am)

>This is just kicking the can down the road. That's the fucking point. The measures are all about reducing the case numbers to give us more time. The virus is growing exponentially, if something isn't done the numbers will grow well out of control. The whole point of the lockdown is to get the case numbers down to a point where it -is- feasible to track and trace. by Fairwolf (Wed 7th Oct 2020 4:18pm)

Christ alive stop griping. You're right I didn't ask for it, but I fully appreciate it, it makes the area so much more pleasant to walk down now, with less traffic on the road. by Fairwolf (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 9:08am)

I don't really care if it makes it harder for people to drive into the city. It's a place people live and walk, not your personal throughway. by Fairwolf (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 10:07am)

>Wasn’t there a stat the other day that around half of positive cases are coming from 12-24 year olds? Half as in the originators of these cases, or half as in half the diagnosed cases? [Cause if it's the latter that's definitely not true.](https://imgur.com/a/rKgmijq) by Fairwolf (Tue 17th Nov 2020 3:39pm)

>Bit of a pointless graphic to show I mean it was to answer the claim of "half of positive cases". Which the graph shows isn't the case. All we've got on this is data, every in this thread claiming "Oh it's all the kids, I know cause I know!" is just useless speculation without data to back it up. by Fairwolf (Tue 17th Nov 2020 4:32pm)

>No idea but the lack of clear guidance about what we actually need to achieve in terms of case numbers, death numbers, r number etc is making me so anxious. Thankfully Sturgeon's supposed to be publishing a roadmap sometime next week that'll set out the requirements for getting out of lockdown. by Fairwolf (Sun 21st Feb 2021 5:23pm)

Then you're a fucking stupid cunt aren't ya? by Fairwolf (Fri 5th Mar 2021 4:43pm)

>/r/scottishfootball is full of football fans, and, relative to this sub, normal people Aye, full of cunts. I hardly think it's fair blaming all Rangers fans for the situation, clearly it's the actions of a minority of arseholes that led to that damage and rioting in George Square, but the fucking cheek of some of the 'Gers fans on that subreddit is a joke. Acting like the fans had no agency and no responsibility and it's entirely the Police and Government's fault that a bunch of pissed up troglodytes had a fucking riot in the middle of the square during a pandemic. Not to mention the sheer level of victim complex on there, aye every other subreddit just hates poor people and football fans and are out to get them! Show a little fucking introspection, instead of calling out the cunts in their supporter base they just sit there and whine that they're being treated unfairly and that it was only naturally people should want to go out and celebrate the win and how it's totally not their fault in the slightest. by Fairwolf (Tue 9th Mar 2021 4:09pm)

>which really limits geyting out of the city. I'm not really sure it does these days. [Having a cursory glance at this map](https://chargeplacescotland.org/live-map/) there's a solid amount of charging points even up in the Highlands. by Fairwolf (Wed 14th Apr 2021 12:55pm)

Big in the more cycle lanes and space for pedestrians camp; but considering I live in the city centre and don't currently own a car I have my biases. by Fairwolf (Thu 13th May 2021 5:48pm)

Aye, I've filled it in, I didn't want the only respondents to be some of the nutters I see on here whining about cyclists at any rate. I still think about that holiday I took the Netherlands 4 years ago; dear god it was bike heaven. by Fairwolf (Thu 13th May 2021 5:54pm)

Well; at the very least it maybe means they'll offer more vaccines in the city like they did for Moray when they had their outbreak? Getting vaccinated faster would be nice... by Fairwolf (Fri 14th May 2021 5:57pm)

The Glasgow outbreak is so far concentrated in a few areas of the city, so they're just trying to get those areas vaxxed up ASAP. by Fairwolf (Mon 17th May 2021 4:04pm)

> but IIRC last time a supporters group organised a cleanup the following day and raised money to pay for repairs. They didn't. It was GCC doing the cleanup, a bunch of Rangers fans just claimed it was them, which was proven to be utter shite later on. by Fairwolf (Tue 25th May 2021 4:10pm)

Anecdotally I know of people who've gotten theirs early, but it's exceedingly rare. Staff are pretty much being told absolutely not to do it. by Fairwolf (Wed 14th Jul 2021 10:42am)

Nah, all indication is we have "Blended Learning" for at least the first semester, so it'll probs be a mix of online lectures and maybe the occasional in person lab or seminar. Can't wait to to be having to do my Dissertation capstone project without lab access by Fairwolf (Tue 31st Aug 2021 5:09pm)

Another day in the nightmare that is flat hunting right now. It falls into either landlords taking the absolute piss with pricing, or the property being let agreed about half an hour after it's posted. Grim times. by Fairwolf (Tue 28th Sep 2021 11:05am)

I've only ever heard four corners by Fairwolf (Wed 6th Oct 2021 10:40am)

The rental market's so fucked right now. Had a viewing yesterday for a 2 bed, and I was in the queue for about an hour and a half to see it, and so far it's been the only place I've even been able to secure a viewing for; lot of places are being snapped up within about an hour of them being listed. by Fairwolf (Wed 6th Oct 2021 10:46am)

The market is awful right now for renters, this is quite possibly the worst I've ever experienced, so I can sympathise with the OP a lot. I've so far in my few weeks of viewing managed to get a grand total of one viewing, and at that viewing I was with about 30 other folk and had to queue up to see the place (My luck putting me at the end of the queue). And anything that isn't instantly snapped up has landlords taking the absolute piss with pricing. I'm hoping it gets better a bit later in the year, but right now it's frankly impossible to get anywhere unless you're extremely lucking or willing to pay 1.7k for a 2 bed. by Fairwolf (Wed 6th Oct 2021 8:52pm)

It's fucking incredible how greedy some of them are getting. I saw a pretty bog standard west end student rental flat in the west end with your typical ikea furniture; and the landlord was trying to fob it off for £600 a day for the duration of COP26. Absolutely mental. by Fairwolf (Thu 7th Oct 2021 11:09pm)

rightmove and zoopla are probably the best ones for property agents. Openrent is decent enough for looking for private landlords, along with gumtree. Be warned though, the rental market is beyond fucked atm, and you're competing with a lot of people for a limited amount of property, so you might seriously struggle to get what you're looking for until things calm down. by Fairwolf (Fri 8th Oct 2021 7:51pm)

Hard to say honestly. -Hopefully- it will have calmed down by then what with COP26 being over and most students having secured flats, but it's always hard to tell. by Fairwolf (Fri 8th Oct 2021 8:05pm)

She's also a massive fucking TERF. "Clever" doesn't factor into anything about her, brain like a leather handbag. by Fairwolf (Sun 10th Oct 2021 11:19am)

"Educated" is such a meaningless term. Trump has a degree from the University of Pennsylvania and Boris has a degree from the University of Oxford; both prestigious institutions and yet they're both buffoonish morons. Lamont has done nothing of note that would make me ignore her frankly bigoted views. The fact that the only thing you're capable of doing is hurling insults clearly indicates to me that you can't think of any reason why anyone should vote for her either. by Fairwolf (Sun 10th Oct 2021 2:37pm)

It still amazes me that the M8 was actually built the way it was. Such a completely moronic decision, along with half the other choices made regarding Glasgow in the 60s. by Fairwolf (Fri 15th Oct 2021 12:57pm)

Supporting them and wishing them the best on getting their wages, but fuck me it's going to make my life a nightmare. by Fairwolf (Fri 15th Oct 2021 4:32pm)

>Not sure I really accept this. I do. Experiencing living in the city centre and trying to walk about it is proof enough. Some streets are fine, but others are a fucking nightmare; the junctions between Cathedral Street & North Hanover Street and St Vincent Street & Renfield Street are particularly hellish. Going through multiple light cycles for cars before you're able to cross, and the traffic's generally so heavy that you can't even safely nip across at any point unless it's really late at night. I've lived in Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow; and of the three Glasgow is by far the worst to walk around. by Fairwolf (Wed 20th Oct 2021 6:17pm)

Such a worthless statement. If I can cross the main centre road in Aberdeen, Union Street, which every bus goes through, and is the main spine road between the East and West parts of the city, in far less time than it takes me to cross a relatively minor road in Cathedral Street, you know your city is just fucked when it comes to traffic management. Furthermore, I can get across the fucking Kingsway, a bypass road, in faster time than it takes me to cross that Cathedral street junction. by Fairwolf (Wed 20th Oct 2021 7:32pm)

Why would crossing a multi-lane motorway be obviously quicker than crossing a semi-busy two lane junction in an off-road of the city as a pedestrian? by Fairwolf (Wed 20th Oct 2021 8:52pm)

Aye I'm having a right laugh at the comments above. The SNP have only been in control of the city council since 2017, and Glasgow's been having issues fucking long before then. by Fairwolf (Thu 21st Oct 2021 10:28pm)

Look up student societies for your University, and hopefully there'll be something there that interests you. Idk the specifics regarding your Uni, but I know at least a few Caley / Strathclyde societies are still meeting in person even if the Universities themselves are mostly online. by Fairwolf (Wed 10th Nov 2021 3:57pm)

I mean that shit is only necessary because of cars. Instead of investing in testing and mandating shit they should just spend the money on separated cycle paths instead, then it'll be a non-issue. by Fairwolf (Thu 11th Nov 2021 11:05am)

I get somewhat fed up of the "Oh but how will shops survive without cars!" iirc they did a study on Byers road regarding them removing car access and parking in the area because shop workers were worried it would kill their businesses; and it turned out that only about 10% of their customers drove in to shop, the vast majority either took public transport or walked. by Fairwolf (Fri 12th Nov 2021 4:09pm)

Fucking livid rn. Uni released the exam timetable a couple weeks back, telling us our exams would all be online, so I booked my flights accordingly; only to just be told this week that apparently Uni management aren't happy that the exams are online, so they want us back on campus instead doing them. Except they aren't written exams, no, that isn't Covid safe. We're still doing the exam online, we just have to do it online from the campus computers. Literally utterly pointless. by Fairwolf (Mon 15th Nov 2021 11:22am)

I shall be, but I fully expect the Uni to ignore us and plow on ahead regardless. Apparently our lecturers told them they wanted the exams online and the Uni management ignored them and just did what they wanted anyway. by Fairwolf (Mon 15th Nov 2021 2:51pm)

I was aye, had rotten luck for the two months I was searching an ended up having to just go back home. Thankfully I'm able to do my first semester to uni entirely from home, and I've got a place secured in January in Glasgow, but it was a fucking nightmare and I got very lucky to get this place. by Fairwolf (Tue 16th Nov 2021 5:06pm)

Getting a violin for Christmas and I was looking to get some trad fiddle lessons as a complete beginner, anyone got any recommendations for teachers, preferably around the City Centre / West End? by Fairwolf (Wed 17th Nov 2021 1:16pm)

>Nah mate, Nicola Sturgeon had some casual meetings about maybe getting some potential green energy deals with unnamed companies at some point in the future. As good as solid contracts and deals for an independent Scotland if you ask me /s You do realise the organisation and costing of COP26 had nothing to do with the Scottish Government right? The budget and planning for it wasn't coming out of Holyrood, it was coming out of Westminster. In fact Tory ministers are on record saying they wanted to avoid the Scottish Gov having anything to do with it. by Fairwolf (Mon 22nd Nov 2021 2:25pm)

Uni being wanks as usual. A bunch of us submitted complaints a couple of weeks ago about the Uni suddenly changing all exams from online to in-person without any heads up to anyone and after they'd confirmed the exams would be online when they released the exam timetable. The Uni deigned to get back to us today with the response that can best be summed up as: "We aren't changing anything unless the Scottish Government forces us to. Don't mingle over Christmas and New Year, it's your fault if you get Covid before the exams, and you'll have to wait to August to do your resits if you do" Then they also lied and claimed that the guidance always said that the exams were likely to be in person, even though I've got the original PDF of the exam timetable saved which explicitly states all exams will online this semester except for a few exceptions where they can't be. I'm absolutely raging at this and there's literally nothing I can do about it. by Fairwolf (Thu 25th Nov 2021 4:18pm)

Nah, Caley by Fairwolf (Thu 25th Nov 2021 10:11pm)

They're about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Our class reps tried fighting the good fight, and our lecturers were backing us up, but the Uni admin basically didn't give a shit. Essentially told us that they'll only change it if the Scottish Government guidelines change, so about the only thing I can think of doing there is bitching to my MSP about the Uni's pushing this nonsense on us in the middle of the pandemic with no recourse if you catch covid beyond "lol resit in august idk" by Fairwolf (Fri 26th Nov 2021 12:15am)

>Gaelic is a waste of time. Rot in a hole you racist waste of oxygen. by Fairwolf (Mon 14th Mar 2022 9:25am)

>and it's never been a native language in the central belt. The only places in Scotland where Gaelic wasn't spoken were the Orkney and Shetland Isles. Gaelic was literally the main language of the entire country from about 800AD to 1200AD by Fairwolf (Mon 14th Mar 2022 10:15am)

>Still, the counterpoint that money is better directly spent on poverty etc. is also compelling to me, so idk. The money Gaelic gets spent on it is literally beyond insignificant. Taking that away from the language isn't going to do much to help with poverty, but it will condemn the language. The choice is pretty clear to me. by Fairwolf (Mon 14th Mar 2022 2:14pm)

> Considering gaelic was barely spoken in this part of Scotland it's even stranger. It was literally the majority language of the country from about 800AD until about 1200AD. Where on earth do you people get this nonsense from. by Fairwolf (Mon 14th Mar 2022 4:58pm)

>and it's unclear how much of the local population actually spoke it It really isn't. We absolutely know how widespread it was and how commonly spoken amongst the population it was. by Fairwolf (Mon 14th Mar 2022 8:11pm)

There are regions where Gaelic was common and regions where Cumbric was more common. the Clyde Valley itself was solidly Gaelic speaking, as was West Lothian, and parts of Mid Lothian and Galloway, the regions where Cumbric / Northumbrian were more common were Ayrshire, and Renfrewshire, but even they had a strong Gaelic presence, and naturally East Lothian. So really the only parts of the country that could realistically claim not to be Gaelic speaking were parts of the Lothians, and the Orkney and Shetland Isles. by Fairwolf (Mon 14th Mar 2022 8:34pm)

>do you seriously disagree with that? Yes, what a dumb fucking argument. Tell that the poverty stricken polyglots in Africa and Asia, who speak multiple communities languages along with the likes of French and English, all of which they learned as part of school or in their environment. Somehow shockingly as well, the poorest parts of Highland Scotland and Wales are fully capable of learning Welsh / Gaidhlig and English too, despite their "working class" background. by Fairwolf (Tue 15th Mar 2022 3:50pm)

In the final stretch of writing my dissertation only to discover that due to system constrains, part of my code cannot function on the environment I was doing my testing on.

The Oatlands development is awful for that. Big residential area across from the green, and the only shop in the entire area is a tiny wee corner shop. Closest shop asides from that is the Asda in Toryglen a good mile down a busy road and under the M74. That sort of development shouldn't be allowed at all, single family garbage with no amenities. by Fairwolf (Fri 24th Jun 2022 10:46pm)

> And when they are graduated they all move away to London or abroad etc due to high wages because of competition between companies. Speaking personally, it has nothing to do with high wages because London companies love paying grads poverty wages. It's more because there's fuck all jobs in Glasgow compared to London. London's the parasite sucking the life and skills out of the rest of the country, cause it's a massive nightmare trying to get work elsewhere. by Fairwolf (Mon 1st Aug 2022 12:49pm)

I'm back in my home city of Aberdeen for a bit whilst job hunting after finishing my degree, and dear fucking god the city is literally dying on it's arse. Glasgow's positively booming by comparison; I got home around midnight yesterday and just the entire city was creepily quiet, hardly anyone out drinking in the pubs. Couple that with the endless sea of vacant shops and boarded up windows on the main street, and it's a complete shitshow compared to how the city was pre-covid. by Fairwolf (Mon 8th Aug 2022 11:39am)

What a load of wanky bollocks.

Aye just the state of the usual absolute cunts who're greetin that their fat arse can no longer drive in from the suburbs and park right next to the shop they want to shop in cause they can't be arsed walking more than five feet. Never mind that it's a massive improvement for people who actually live nearby and who's primarily method of transport is walking, cycling or public transport.

Right, so they've had five years in power, not a decade, because when it comes to local matters, it's the local authority that matters, and two of those years were in covid lockdown with fuck all happening. by Fairwolf (Wed 16th Nov 2022 8:58am)

I mean Buchanan Street is the 2nd busiest shopping street in the UK after Oxford Street in London, so clearly something's gone well. Also anecdotally, it's pretty much the only high street I've been on in the UK that doesn't feel like it's just died a death and been filled with vape shops and betting shops. by Fairwolf (Thu 24th Nov 2022 12:04pm)

You're utterly incorrect. Rail links are so much better than road links, both in terms of capacity and reliability. Why do you think it is that all the major UK airports have rail links? Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Manchester, Birmingham, etc. Bus rapid transit straight up cannot compare to rail transit. by Fairwolf (Fri 2nd Dec 2022 3:59pm)

>I mean if you can't call it what it is without meeting significant enough resistance to overcome the the people who want to do it then you should probably rethink the plan or understand that you're quite selfish.

Because the actions of the Scottish Gov are pretty clearly aimed at mitigating the issues, but as the budget of the Scottish Gov is based off of the budget of the UK Gov, then the sort of slashing that's been going on down in England for the past decade is going to have a knock-on effect on us too. There's plenty I can criticise the SNP for, but the economic situation isn't one of the. That's entirely on the Tories.

Are you thick? I think it's pretty easy to extrapolate that people would find being in the city centre more pleasant if there was less traffic going through it. That wasn't exactly hard to understand, there's a reason Buchanan Street is doing so well in comparison to a lot of other city centre shopping streets, turns out people don't particularly enjoy walking next to cars and inhaling fumes whilst out walking. by Fairwolf (Tue 17th Jan 2023 11:04pm)

That doesn't change the fact they were built on the cheap and not maintained, even if the previous housing was literally falling apart. by Fairwolf (Thu 23rd Mar 2023 11:27am)

>Makes no sense to me that they should demolish both shopping malls, especially when they are full of shops and people. The owners have quite rightly seen that the era of shopping centres is dead, they're just not profitable anymore as most people do their shopping online. The St Enoch's replacement is essentially going to be knocking down the entire centre and replacing it with a mix of mid-rise residential, commercial and office buildings with pedestrianised streets in-between the various buildings. by Fairwolf (Thu 30th Mar 2023 11:13am)

I sincerely doubt it really is always incredibly busy. I've not been in Glasgow for a few months now admittedly, but I always remember the centre being half dead most days when I passed through. >I think demolishing those two shopping malls will be one of the biggest mistakes in the city centres history. It really won't be. The city centre's got a long list of mistakes and honestly building the St Enoch's centre ranks higher than demolishing it ever will. by Fairwolf (Thu 30th Mar 2023 12:05pm)

I'll be honest, none of the chippies in the city centre are particularly good, but Merchant Chippie is probably the best of the lot. by Fairwolf (Tue 4th Apr 2023 10:14am)

You don't even need high rises, a solid amount of midrise properties would be more than enough to meet demand honestly. It drives me mental seeing all the new properties being built are single family homes with no amenities nearby on the edge of the city with the expectation you just drive everywhere. by Fairwolf (Tue 18th Apr 2023 6:58pm)

I have my doubts. The real problem is cars are getting bigger and heavier and the damage done to roads is exponential to the weight of the vehicle. Roads are going to get damaged more often because of everyone's obsession with buying massive tanks to feel "safer" on the road, coupled with electric vehicles being heavier in general due to the batteries required. by Fairwolf (Sun 7th May 2023 9:38pm)

I spent about a month or so in Washington D.C. during August. I basically stopped drinking fizzy juice entirely and switched to water cause the heat was insane and I found all their juice way too sweet to drink. Also made me stop eating chocolate entirely for a while cause American chocolate is fucking awful, but I've fallen back into bad habits there. by Fairwolf (Wed 31st May 2023 7:49pm)

Well that's partially because of the low number of people actually living in the centre right now too. But with the plans to dramatically increase the number of flats in the centre, takeaway style places will still probably do fine. by Fairwolf (Tue 6th Jun 2023 7:07pm)

Aye the city in general could really do with a lot more street trees. Even Manhattan in NYC feels more green despite it being about fifty billion times the density of Glasgow. I really think they should consider just completely pedestrianizing a few of the roads in the city centre and turning them into long parks, or perhaps just something [equivalent to the High Line park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Line) by Fairwolf (Fri 1st Sep 2023 11:17am)

The original one was the one on the corner of west nile street, and it was always heaving due the all the offices nearby. They've just opened the new one to increase capacity and haven't closed the old one. by Fairwolf (Fri 1st Sep 2023 12:44pm)

The only effective way to reduce the price is to increase the supply. Look at Aberdeen, it went from one of the most expensive cities in the UK to one of the cheapest after the oil crash, cause companies had been building like mad out there, and a decent amount of folk left at once. Houses prices there have dropped by insane amounts just due to the sheer amount of choice people have when renting and buying. by Fairwolf (Fri 1st Sep 2023 1:00pm)

Kind of tragic people think this is cheap for a single line, meanwhile in Austria you can pay 1k euros for an annual pass that grants you unlimited access to every piece of public transport in the country for any distance, including the mountain gondolas. Similarly in Germany you can get a monthly pass for 49 euros that lets you do mostly the same except it doesn't work on high speed trains.

Unfortunately yes, there's likely to be a fair few 17/18 year olds there. However, if they accom team are any good they'll likely place you in a flat with others around you age.

There's a lot you can blame the Scot Gov / Council for, however this is entirely down to the Tories.
