  • Getting a masters, 2 year work visa, partner visa/marriage! by JagsAbroad (Mon 18th Jul 2022 10:55pm)
  • I’m starting school in January! You’re lucky you can do the ETV. Luckily I have little American debt so taking on some UK debt isn’t the worst thing in the world as long as we get to be together and what not. My partner is pure Glaswegian so we will be sharing some queues haha. by JagsAbroad (Mon 18th Jul 2022 11:08pm)

  • Guy looks special needs AF. Not a free pass OFC but… hmm. by JagsAbroad (Sat 13th Aug 2022 9:49am)
  • I mean, top notch disguise minus the fact that half his pot belly is hanging out. You’re not convincing anyone while you’re wearing a shirt from baby gap. Of course be wary. Of course special needs people are capable of terrible things. But this looks like someone well into special land trying to court a girl he has a crush on (and has probably stalked). Dude needs help pronto and the gal needs protected. by JagsAbroad (Sat 13th Aug 2022 10:17am)
  • Hell yeah, man! Go Jags! by JagsAbroad (Sun 21st Aug 2022 5:02pm)

  • Oh yesssss. Thank you! by JagsAbroad (Sun 11th Sep 2022 1:17pm)
  • Yeah! We have the jars for it. I was hoping for something a bit more immediate. I tend to enjoy the really fermented stuff. There have been plenty of great suggestions in here! Thank you. by JagsAbroad (Sun 11th Sep 2022 1:26pm)
  • Aren’t you fun. by JagsAbroad (Sun 11th Sep 2022 1:25pm)

  • We’re waiting for 김장 season to make kimchi with the family. Cultural sharing sort of thing. Do you mean gochugaru? I haven’t seen it yet either but we brought bags of it back with us. I know it’s available on Amazon too! by JagsAbroad (Mon 12th Sep 2022 5:40pm)
  • Silla is okay, IMO. It’s Chinese food masquerading as Korean food. If you go in expecting real Korean food you’ll end up disappointed. by JagsAbroad (Sun 9th Oct 2022 1:05pm)
  • I lived In Korea for many years. Silla isn’t as disappointing as Italian food was in Korea but it’s still disappointing. I had high hopes for it considering its reputation. Other Korean restaurants in Glasgow are apparently run by Chinese. It’s disappointing. by JagsAbroad (Sun 9th Oct 2022 4:47pm)

  • 전라남도 살았어! 횟집 가고 싶어.. by JagsAbroad (Sun 9th Oct 2022 10:08pm)
  • Honestly, it was the peppers. They are not Korean peppers and they particularly ruined my dish. They’re the type of peppers found in American/British Chinese food. Also, the bathroom sign was in English and Chinese; not Korean. That, as well as the taste of the food, made me think it was catered to the Chinese palate. It makes sense as someone else mentioned in this thread that the food is changed for the Glaswegian food scene. There are more Chinese people here than Koreans as well. It just goes back to my original comment that if you’re going into Silla thinking it’s going to be authentic Korean you’re going to be disappointed because it’s modified Korean recipes for the UK. Ergo, it’s okay. I would only go there to drink because at least the soju and makgeoli are authentic. But, the Jeju peanut makgeoli got me incredibly excited. I never thought I would see that outside of Korea and 우도 holds a very special place in my heart. by JagsAbroad (Tue 11th Oct 2022 5:24am)
  • Let’s be real. These people making the reposts and not using the search function aren’t going to look at FAQs. Additionally, things change. You’re going to make the mod team update that shit? Lastly, no one is making you click on any post. You choose to go in there and get all riled up. That’s on you. by JagsAbroad (Wed 7th Dec 2022 11:05am)

  • Oh yeah it’ll be tough! Where are you thinking of going? by JagsAbroad (Sat 21st Jan 2023 5:28pm)
  • Gahhh yeah that makes sense. I went to Walkabout with a mate last Sunday to watch the Bills game. I but I bet they make it more of a club on Saturday by JagsAbroad (Sat 21st Jan 2023 5:41pm)

  • I don’t need to. You need to sell me on this. by JagsAbroad (Fri 3rd Feb 2023 3:43pm)
  • Protesting something that you claim is fascist. You made this post like everyone is as knowledgeable about this as you are. I am not. So sell it. by JagsAbroad (Fri 3rd Feb 2023 8:09pm)
  • You made a post telling people to counter protest without any context. by JagsAbroad (Fri 3rd Feb 2023 10:36pm)

  • Where was the school located in Paisley? by JagsAbroad (Sat 11th Feb 2023 8:35am)
  • Cheers! Thanks! Paisley is an interesting place. It looks like they’re really trying to fix it up. Now if only the shite dog owners who live around paisley grammar school could PICK THEIR FUXKING SHITE UP by JagsAbroad (Sat 11th Feb 2023 11:23am)
  • DELETED They think it’s murder. You think otherwise. They don’t care about your justification. You don’t care about theirs. It’s a shitty situation where you will never get them to see your POV by JagsAbroad (Sat 25th Feb 2023 11:05pm)
  • DELETED You wouldn’t try to stop murder if you thought it was happening? Look. I don’t agree with them. But that’s where they’re at. You’re arguing against preventing murder. Now formulate an argument! by JagsAbroad (Sun 26th Feb 2023 1:46am)

  • Transgender woman isn’t incorrect. She is a transgender woman. by JagsAbroad (Thu 2nd Mar 2023 10:54pm)
  • What? I used the preferred pronouns. She did go through a transition to become a woman. What more can you expect me to do? by JagsAbroad (Fri 3rd Mar 2023 7:00am)
  • It’s not segregation but segmentation if data. I never said she wasn’t a woman, the umbrella term that she’s a part of. Women and people in general can be many different things. There are some labels you might not want or agree with that are still intrinsically true. Sure, it’s not polite or rather kind to ONLY refer to the person as a trans person. But to acknowledge someone as a trans person, is not incorrect. It’s your perception of that phrase as an insult where offense can or should be taken. Tbf, I do believe that person was using it as an insult. by JagsAbroad (Fri 3rd Mar 2023 12:17pm)
  • It’s definitely a cultural thing. It’s infuriating as an American watching young men in track suits let their dogs shit on the sidewalks and then just walk away by JagsAbroad (Sun 5th Mar 2023 5:07pm)
  • Culture. by JagsAbroad (Tue 7th Mar 2023 3:44pm)

  • Because you’re a post industrial city with a history of massive poverty and depression? by JagsAbroad (Wed 12th Apr 2023 6:01pm)
  • For sure. There’s a reason Glasgow is constantly chosen as the cinematic Gotham… by JagsAbroad (Wed 12th Apr 2023 9:51pm)
  • Yes! I got the newest one: Amazon eero Pro 6 mesh Wi-Fi 6 router system | built-in Zigbee smart home hub | 1-pack | coverage up to 190 sq.m https://amzn.eu/d/eWWCF8d It was on sale for half off :( by JagsAbroad (Fri 14th Apr 2023 1:14pm)

  • I’m an American so I’m unfamiliar with law. How is this legal? by JagsAbroad (Mon 5th Jun 2023 10:16pm)
  • So how come OP can’t recoup his losses and send that prick to jail? Can’t he sue? Was OP naive and not collect signatures and documentation to support how they’ve been fucked by this guy? I’m just lost at how something like this could happen. by JagsAbroad (Tue 6th Jun 2023 7:38am)
  • Thank you. So long story short: Establish a contract with any tradesman so they don’t fuck you. I understand that the UK is far less sue happy than America but you bet your ass I’d be gearing up for court over 31 grand!!! by JagsAbroad (Tue 6th Jun 2023 8:35am)
  • …what the fuck. I thought this kind of protection only existed for the 1% of the world. How is that man not in jail. This is just stunning. I’m so sorry this happened to you OP by JagsAbroad (Wed 7th Jun 2023 8:24am)
  • Mate, I was walking away from this thread thinking “get a contract and you’re fine.” Thank you for clarifying. I hope you’re able to recoup your losses by JagsAbroad (Wed 7th Jun 2023 9:14am)
  • You should have taken down this post as soon as someone posted the link to the facebook post. I think most of this sub skews to the less douchey side of life, but, all it takes is one jabroni warning him. Good luck! by JagsAbroad (Wed 14th Jun 2023 11:42am)

  • It’s a UK thing. Fuck I miss medium burgers. I’m so sick of overcooked smash burgers by JagsAbroad (Sat 22nd Jul 2023 9:19pm)
  • DELETED The littering and dog shit is atrocious in this city. The graffiti is gross. The jakes and bams are a nuisance to straight up dangerous. Ranging from smashing glass to straight up fucking you up. But you’re right. It’s better than it was and there is hunners to do. It’s just obnoxious seeing people committing sins of the working class when the city and people are trying to be better. by JagsAbroad (Fri 28th Jul 2023 5:42pm)
  • DELETED Controversial to suggest that the working class doesn’t take care of their gardens the same way the upper class does? You’re mad. Working class parents typically don’t have time to look after their kids. There’s a different attitude about taking care of your front door so to speak when you just don’t have time to make it look nice. The working class gets pissed at pubs after a long day of work and gets in fights with someone wearing blue or orange. Let’s be real. People in here bitch about things not looking nice and dog shit being left about. The rich neighborhoods don’t have those problems like the working class hoods do. But they’re full of a very different kind of cunt. by JagsAbroad (Fri 28th Jul 2023 7:32pm)
  • Dude, some people just don’t know about self harm. I remember quite clearly the first and only time I’ve ever seen someone’s scars who sliced themselves in grief. At first I was confused. I wanted to ask, but I didn’t. Eventually she saw me stealing curious glances and told me. We had a good conversation about it and I learned a lot. She’s the only person in 35 years of life that I’ve seen with scars. Likely not the only person with scars of that nature that I’ve met. But isn’t that how these things go…? The point being, it’s wrong to assume so horridly that she was trying to shame OP. It was likely just someone who asked a very stupid and VERY personal question about scars that they’ve never seen on someone. by JagsAbroad (Mon 14th Aug 2023 12:09pm)
  • Some people are oblivious to the hurt they can cause with flippant remarks. If OP told the woman what those scars really were instead of trying to diffuse it with a joke, the woman would’ve learnt a very important lesson of not being so invasive and OP could’ve gained a lot of confidence about not having to be afraid to show their scars. Everyone has scars OP. I bet you wouldn’t feel ashamed of yours or alone if we all wore our scars like you do. In fact you’d see you’re no different than the rest of us. by JagsAbroad (Mon 14th Aug 2023 12:27pm)
  • You misunderstood my meaning. I meant that everyone carries the “scars” of torment, youth, mistakes, pain, love, age, etc. Whatever they associate with the physical scars on their bodies, people around them have similar or equivalent emotional scars. I certainly wasn’t trying to say the equivalent of “just smile and you’ll feel better without knowing it!” by JagsAbroad (Mon 14th Aug 2023 2:14pm)

  • It’s just a 48 minutes to 1:20 ride depending on the ticket and both stations are in the hearts of their cities. Easily done I’d recommend having Glasgow for your base if you’re worried about hotel costs. Edinburgh is more expensive by JagsAbroad (Fri 25th Aug 2023 1:40pm)

  • There’s a huge difference in quality from the average take out place to a good one. I’m a very good chef so if I can make it better myself, why am I bothering ordering in the first place? Additionally, there are dishes that I love that just take hours if not days to do correctly. If there’s a restaurant that does it well, then of course I’m ordering from there. I am pretty shocked to see all the hate for people ordering delivery. People are always drawn to what’s most convenient. by JagsAbroad (Mon 23rd Oct 2023 9:02pm)

  • Not sure you're coming here in bad faith, but ima take a swing at explaining it more than everyone else in here has. Someone who considers themselves non-binary doesn't identify with either the male or female gender. Some people consider gender to be a social construct whereas biologial sex is still what it is. It is considered incredibly rude to ask a Non-binary person what their biological sex is because it's denying their prefered identy. So what you're asking what these partners got going underneath the hood so to speak and that's a bit forward and it's also blatantly denying their preferred identity. Anyways, I think it's pretty clear that a NB person is probably not going to be someone you're looking to be new pals with. So maybe just leave them be. Ultimately, you don't have to understand why they are the way they are. They do. Ultimately you don't have to even be nice. But it just would be really cool if you would be nice and at least stick to their prefer identities when they state it. by JagsAbroad (Sun 3rd Dec 2023 9:11pm)
