  • I wonder if you could put up some lightweight soundproof panels with non-stick/peel adhesive? No damage to flat. You’d hear them less, they’d hear you less. I’m putting some up right on my ceiling lol. Good luck by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Sat 20th Aug 2022 5:25pm)
  • Good thought! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Sat 20th Aug 2022 6:06pm)
  • I just moved here. I have had extreme difficulty securing a flat. Even if you can get a booking, many are cancelled or the flat is already let by the time you even get a look. Even on the phone with letting agencies is very hard to get your name in. Even going further from the city has been tricky (Bearsden, Newlands, etc.). You’ve got to be here and be ready for viewing and deposit ASAP. I’ve cemented an Airbnb for several months due to this. Good luck, 👍 by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 1:38pm)
  • Graduate here! I’m renting an Airbnb through the rest of the year in hopes the market slows up a bit after semester start. I am on the phone and online daily with letting agencies; luckily, I’ve had the occasional viewing pop up. But even then, the flat is quickly swooped up. It’s just an insane market right now. Best of luck! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Thu 25th Aug 2022 4:58pm)
  • I’ve got Vodaphone- the Voxi plan. Right now I just got £20 a month and 200gb, usually it’s 100gb! Everything runs smoothly all around the city. I’m normally on wifi or 4g, 5g is come and go by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Wed 7th Sep 2022 12:13am)
  • What day of the week? Say a Tuesday versus a Saturday will be quite different by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Mon 12th Sep 2022 1:40am)
  • Club Tropicana & Venga gets a good mixed crowd, lately a lot over 30! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Mon 19th Sep 2022 3:12pm)
  • DELETED I guess I should add a) I’m newish to the city and b)letting loose in a public bathroom gives me extreme anxiety lol by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 6:39pm)
  • I’d check out CitizenM hotel. There’s a good big private meeting space. by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Sat 1st Oct 2022 2:45pm)

  • Can’t tell if sarcastic, but was just trying to think of American places with tv screens by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Sun 2nd Oct 2022 10:17pm)
  • Are you working currently? Maybe you can get in with some people there…it’s all been word of mouth and the likes how I’ve made a couple new friends recently by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Sun 2nd Oct 2022 11:19pm)
  • Lol! Hopefully you get some good where to watch NHL answers! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Sun 2nd Oct 2022 11:17pm)
  • Hi there. I moved to Glasgow this year and haven’t had any issues as a big ol butch. But, it’s true. I have a coworker who has not had the same experiences. I truly believe it depends who you’re with, what part of town, and all that. West end. Around gay clubs, a-okay. I would just be weary of holding hands late at night (unfortunately) and if you think something is off about someone talking to you, kindly get away from that situation. My coworkers, many being married hetero men, are surprisingly open. As long as you can take shite jokes the same as everyone else has to. Lol. But during the day in Glasgow I wouldn’t worry at all. I feel completely safe in pretty much any part of town during daylight, and honestly most nights. So that’s a plus. And coming from the States, I have a lot of experience with being called “sir” and here, that happens a lot less-I’d say people are more curious here to know more about each individual. And yes, there are a lot of LGBT+ here. Hope this helps a bit. by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Mon 3rd Oct 2022 12:05pm)
  • I’d argue more straight people go to gay bars nowadays than lgbt 😂 by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Mon 3rd Oct 2022 11:04pm)
  • Sorry, Biometric Residence Permit by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Fri 7th Oct 2022 5:39pm)
  • It’s what you get when you get a Visa here, yes. It’s got my date of birth and photo. Looks almost exactly like UK ID. by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Fri 7th Oct 2022 5:52pm)
  • That’s definitely next on my list! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Fri 7th Oct 2022 6:44pm)
  • Yeah, I thought it would work. I use it everywhere else, the Hydro’s website got me thinking differently though! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Fri 7th Oct 2022 11:20pm)
  • Club Tropicana! by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Tue 18th Oct 2022 1:13am)
  • I’ve been seeing this more lately, down on renfield & st Vincent too by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Tue 18th Oct 2022 6:20pm)
  • Club Tropicana should be a fun night on the 29th! And usually an older-ish crowd 🎃 by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Wed 26th Oct 2022 7:40pm)

  • A couple streets over, but I quite enjoy Drury Street Bar. Depending on time-it’s pretty quiet and they don’t bother you at all after you get your pint. by Icy_Sheepherder4958 (Mon 14th Nov 2022 12:34am)
