  • You sure? Are there not a bunch of murals in the underpass ? I used to cycle it every day for work by I_escalate_shit (Fri 26th Feb 2021 12:58am)
  • Ramadan Mubarak brother. I hope you are well. I went from private renting to a HA. Game and life changing. I was lucky a got a flat within a few weeks. Cheaper. Better quality. Energy efficient. Ok, I don’t live in the west end anymore but I can get there in 15 minutes. I think the reason I was given the place so quickly was two fold: I was to going to be made homeless due to the fact my flat mate wanted to move home again and I couldn’t afford the place on my own, and also pure luck/chance. Right place, right time sort of thing. The only HA I applied to was Elderpark. And they had just completed a brand new development and were moving scores of long terms tenants into the new place, creating a lot of new vacancies in their existing properties. I did not know this at the time and it was, again, pure luck on my part. They took me in quickly and I’m very settled now. I feel in control compared to a joint tenancy / private let and I’m saving a fortune. My other advice, if you can, don’t tie yourself to an area, be prepared to explore other places. You might find it works for you. My advice is, apply far and wide, spread your net, you might get lucky. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Apr 2021 2:28am)

  • Back of the old Glasgow Uni building. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 5th Jul 2021 12:47pm)
  • Their desire to help a random stranger in need speaks volumes to their humanity. I never asked for help from anyone, but I couldn’t stop them from doing someone they don’t know a good turn. I’m honestly so touched by all the help I’ve had on the last few days. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 1:35am)
  • And then there are people like this. Thanks for the “feel better soon”, I think? But it isn’t fake at all. This all happened to me in the last few days. Don’t really understand your scepticism. Maybe try to be less cynical? by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 1:44am)
  • Thanks pal. I appreciate that! My shoulder/upper arm still hurts like hell, and I’ve some wounds which still need cleaning and redressing everyday, but I am starting to feel a bit better. The pain is getting slightly less with each day. Though it’s still early doors yet. I’ll be ok. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 2:00am)
  • You have a wise friend! The city isn’t perfect, no where is, but I reckon the reputation of its inhabitants as being generally friendly people is justified. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 2:08am)
  • Also, why are you just shitty in general? Have you ever thought about that? by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 2:18am)
  • I mean, you’re not wrong, but I don’t recommend it! Trust me. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 2:21am)
  • That’s class man. I’m so glad someone could see you needed help and was willing to be that person. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 3:27am)
  • I will do. Thanks pal! by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 1:52pm)
  • Thanks pal. Aye, it hurts like fuck. Thankfully the pain meds are taking the edge of off it. by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 5:16pm)
  • You did indeed! Thanks for you’re help! by I_escalate_shit (Mon 26th Jul 2021 11:06pm)
  • Me too! It’s home in so many senses of the word. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 27th Jul 2021 12:17am)
  • It’s a nightmare. I can’t dress or bathe myself. I can’t cook. Looking forward to getting better for sure. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 27th Jul 2021 12:16am)
  • No probs buddy. I’m glad it helped you. Hope you’re doing ok! by I_escalate_shit (Tue 27th Jul 2021 12:16am)
  • Thanks pal. Glad you enjoyed the post. It was on Govan road directly across the water from the Glasgow distillery. I was heading west, home from the city centre towards Govan itself. I stay in Linthouse now. Just moved there. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 27th Jul 2021 12:44am)
  • Are you wanting volunteers or something? by I_escalate_shit (Wed 28th Jul 2021 12:55am)
  • Shawarma King - King Street - £4.50 for the lamb shawarma. Has to be the best food at that price anywhere in Glasgow. Though I’d love to be wrong! by I_escalate_shit (Thu 5th Aug 2021 12:42pm)
  • The deals look good value. But I’ve had some absolutely dreadful food there. by I_escalate_shit (Thu 5th Aug 2021 1:27pm)

  • Balmaha? by I_escalate_shit (Tue 24th Aug 2021 1:16am)
  • Arsehole. My mother missed her own mother’s funeral yesterday, along with my father and my two siblings because of Covid. My mum has been double vaccinated but still managed to catch it in hospital. Who knows if it was from staff or another patient. This shit matters. People shouldn’t have the “freedom” to go around wilfully infecting people because they are too stupid and too ducking selfish to take a basic precautions to help themselves and others. by I_escalate_shit (Fri 27th Aug 2021 10:57am)
  • It’s fucking healthcare. Not the Holocaust. What a stupid comparison. Just shows how brain dead you actually are. by I_escalate_shit (Fri 27th Aug 2021 11:18am)

  • Yeah. By the sounds of it. Thank fuck. by I_escalate_shit (Sun 17th Oct 2021 3:55am)
  • Get the fuck out. I’m Irish and catholic. I’ve been spat at, punched, kicked and told to go “home” by rangers fans. The less of people of that ilk the better. by I_escalate_shit (Sun 17th Oct 2021 1:41pm)
  • Boo fucking hoo. I really couldn’t give a fuck if there are a few good apples. By and large, in my experience, they act like cunts, especially in groups. They’re a shite bunch in general. Fuck them. by I_escalate_shit (Sun 17th Oct 2021 2:02pm)
  • They’re literally the Millwall of Scotland. Nothing to do with any religion or anything else. by I_escalate_shit (Sun 17th Oct 2021 4:37pm)
  • I don’t hate. I dislike. I’m allowed to. A large amount of them generally suck. Not my fucking problem. I’ve been a victim of violence, gay bashing and racism at their hands. It’s their problem not mine. by I_escalate_shit (Sun 17th Oct 2021 4:36pm)
  • Fuck! Seriously? That’s my main route to and from work! There are literally zero signs up about it if true. by I_escalate_shit (Fri 22nd Oct 2021 10:55am)
  • Just checked the maps and I agree with you. I should be able to get across the squinty bridge as well by bicycle. by I_escalate_shit (Fri 22nd Oct 2021 1:27pm)
  • If it’s a nightclub then yes you need a Covid passport. If it’s a bar you do not. You’re supposed to check in at the door at any venue and wear a mask when you’re moving around, i.e at the bar of going to use the toilet but can take it off whilst seated or at your table. by I_escalate_shit (Fri 22nd Oct 2021 3:25pm)

  • You have no idea of the margins in hospitality by I_escalate_shit (Mon 1st Nov 2021 5:45pm)
  • Sorry, but I would say no, you cannot move out on this wage / salary in the current Glasgow rental climate. I just don’t feel it’s feasible. Is your £700 gross or net? If gross then by my calculations you are working ~20 hours a week? Is there a limit on that? Are you able to do more? Can you move jobs? Are you studying as well as working? If so, you could have access to additional funds. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:22am)
  • HOUSE! by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:34am)
  • Very few restaurant managers are making “a fortune” by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:32am)
  • Ok fine. That’s up to you. I appreciate you mental health concerns. They are very valid. It sounds like your job is not for you. Hospitality staff are massively in demand right now. So many people have left the industry. I know of places offering minimum wage plus tronc (I.e. guaranteed service charge income) of an extra £2.50 per hour. Meaning working 35-40 hours a week can earn you £400-£450 per week gross. DM if you want more info. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:29am)
  • It won’t be by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:38am)

  • Well, there’s lots of jobs going right now. Put yourself out there. Don’t expect something to fall into your lap. You might surprise yourself! by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:59am)
  • Might be time to adjust your expectations bud. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 12:56am)
  • Mate, either train and update you skills or get a full time gig somewhere. If you’re working 20 hours a week you have loads of time to train. If you don’t fancy that, there are lots of jobs going right now. You need to take control of your life. It’s not going to fall into your lap. With the greatest of respect, the world doesn’t owe you a living. You have to make it happen. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 1:03am)
  • Three years later. Still entry level doing 20 hours a week. Mate. That’s on you. Time to screw the nut. by I_escalate_shit (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 1:11am)

  • There are videos from the home supporters end at Ross County from when they played Celtic. Celtic scores a last minute winner and you can hear “Fenian bastards” being shouted by the home support. But sure, it’s purely a west coast issue. by I_escalate_shit (Wed 19th Jan 2022 8:05pm)

  • Shilling Brewing Co do pints for £3.50 for students Sun-Thu. 50% off food 7days. by I_escalate_shit (Thu 28th Apr 2022 9:40pm)
  • You are kinda right, some of the beer is quite expensive. But not really any more so than other craft beer venues. I always find it funny that people don’t bat an eyelid paying top dollar for wine but get cross paying the going rate for really good beer! They absolutely have the best draught selection in the town though, and £3.50 for a pint of really good beer is pretty good I’d say. Good pizza too defo. by I_escalate_shit (Fri 29th Apr 2022 12:38am)

  • As a brewer I am eternally blessed to be able to use Scottish water, particularly from Loch Katrine. Water makes up 99% of the beer you drink and to have such a high quality ingredient is a god send. by I_escalate_shit (Wed 13th Jul 2022 12:58am)

  • Broke my right arm last year crashing due to a pothole on Govan road. Council wouldn’t accept blame because it wasn’t previously reported and no CCTV covered the area the incident happened. Couldn’t get a law firm to take on the case for the similar reasons. I lost six weeks of work and had to go on SSP for that time which was about 1/3 of my wage. All while I had a new child on the way….. bollocks. by I_escalate_shit (Thu 17th Nov 2022 2:23am)
  • I remember the jotters well by I_escalate_shit (Thu 17th Nov 2022 11:12pm)
  • I think you’re right. If I had headcam footage of said pothole then it would have helped my case. Headcam aside, I have bright front and back lights, wear a helmet and wear high vis clothing. Seems like the only safety gear I didn’t have was a camera….. by I_escalate_shit (Thu 17th Nov 2022 11:42pm)

  • I don’t blame the strikers at all, I support them 100%. I support anyone’s right to strike and recognise the historical gains I have benefited from due to the actions of striking workers gone before me. This however DOES affect city centre businesses and we do feel a big down turn because of this. Our figures compared to last week are…. telling. The trade at my place of work has been massively hit by the strikes. I hope the strikes end because the workers get a deal that they deserve and are happy with. This shouldn’t be an “us” v “them” issue. by I_escalate_shit (Thu 15th Dec 2022 2:04am)
