I'm late to this but no heard keysies in years! I would do it with thumbs. But we used to say "touch black magic" (you obviously had to find something black to touch) no idea why? by Jomato_Soup (Mon 14th Jan 2019 7:55pm)

Are you also sending covering letters? And, making them specific to each company. We just hired an Admin Assistant, and out of the 300+ that applied about 4 had a covering letter. Also get out to some networking events, and if you can, contact your uni for their graduate careers advice. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 4th Feb 2019 6:51pm)

I thought the sign originally said it would be finished on the 15th, but obviously that's no happened. I've no seen any work being done for a wee while though :( by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Feb 2019 9:27pm)

Wee Barra! No heard that in a while. Dunno why but I love that saying. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Feb 2019 9:30pm)

Burnistoun on now though, makes up for the earlier pish. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 24th Feb 2019 10:11pm)

New kitchen is going in today. I'm sitting awkwardly in the living room whilst they work away. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 4th Mar 2019 11:11am)

We looked at Strange Bru! I really liked them. Their YouTube was also quite funny. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Mar 2019 10:15pm)

Had Martin & Co. when I stayed in Paisley for uni. The following things were issues: Told me they'd clean the flat professionally before I moved in. They didn't. I did complain about this and they eventually got it done (took about 2 weeks). Told me I could change from a top-up meter to direct debit. Didn't happen as the landlord said no. Told me they'd fix my window that was warped and making the flat freezing as it let out all the heat. They took soooooo long my lease was actually up when they fixed it and I moved out anyway. Took them over 5 months to fix this issue. They delayed me getting my deposit back by failing to tell me about the deposit scheme thing (forget what it's actually called). After some research I was able to get it back. Maybe if I had been a bit more street smart it would've been better. As a 30 year old professional moaner, I'm now confident in calling out shite. It might just have been rubbish staff. Sorry I don't have a letting agent recommendation. Good luck!! by Jomato_Soup (Wed 22nd May 2019 10:08pm)

Not in Govanhill, but the East End. We paid £2k over the home report which worked out about 3%. I do think it's your luck. We seen flats that went anywhere between 10% and 20% over which we simply couldn't afford. Our mortgage advisor said we done the wrong thing, but we spoke to the seller, he told us what he wanted and that he'd already rejected offers lower. His price was ideal for us so we agreed and got our flat. Just remember anything over the home report you need to pay that money outwith your deposit/mortgage payments. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 13th Jun 2019 12:31pm)

Good luck!! Hopefully you'll find your home soon. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 13th Jun 2019 5:51pm)

Anyone know what was going outside All Saints this morning? About 4 police cars / vans and officers dotted round. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 25th Jun 2019 9:51am)

Seen it on gordon street yesterday, driving on the path at half 8 in the morning, spewing smoke out everywhere and just getting in folks way. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 10th Jul 2019 10:57pm)

Going into town for dinner and drinks tonight, Merchant City area, how fucked are we cause of Trnsmt? by Jomato_Soup (Sat 13th Jul 2019 10:53am)

What area you looking at? Laura's on Duke St is my shout (but realistically this is best if you live in the East End). by Jomato_Soup (Thu 18th Jul 2019 9:04am)

Hey! Amazing! Congratulations :) We are using him in October for our wedding. He's a friend of a friend and a lovely guy, hope all went well? by Jomato_Soup (Mon 12th Aug 2019 12:31pm)

Riddrie is nice. But I'm biased, I live here. We looked at Dennistoun as well but with every flat going 30k over the asking price and what seemed like no parking we widened our search and got a great deal on our flat. I've ventured to the gartcraig pub, but if you're looking for night life you'll be heading into town. Or the fort and/or forge for cinema and shops. We get the train, but I'm closer to Carntyne station than the rest so it's fine to walk it. Leader St you're closer to Alexandra Parade station. Don't get the bus often enough to comment sorry. You've got Hogganfield Loch and Alexandra Park both about 20 minutes walk away, great for dog walking! Also, the vogue chippy is better than Abby's. Avoid Shergills. Spice Route is good for kebabs. Rowans for rolls!! If you are looking for hairdressers, check out Laura's on Duke St. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 15th Aug 2019 7:09pm)

It was shite. We got an it is on deal and waited around 30/40 mins between the starter and the main. After they finally cooked our meal and we ate it, they then arrived with the rice. Guy at our table complained and we did all get a free drink. Sapporo any day. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 7th Sep 2019 7:19pm)

Some will have ID badges and they should have the charity number which you can check on OSCR. If you're concerned best bet is contacting the charity and giving description/location of collectors. If they are unaware and you have a suspicion of fraud it becomes a police matter. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 30th Oct 2019 8:10pm)

You looking at city centre? Try The Studio, on Oswald Street. Just off Argyle Street near Central Station. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 30th Nov 2019 5:44pm)

Okay I shat it and went to Milano but I will try Sprigg and report back when I do! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 19th Dec 2019 5:54pm)

Best line of a song! 'Mary, are ye dancin'? "Oh no, it's just the way I'm staunin"' by Jomato_Soup (Mon 23rd Dec 2019 12:42am)

If you like karaoke head up the stairs at Horseshoe! But I would suggest a few wines before going in. Old Hairdressers and Stereo are near by and all are close to central. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 19th Jan 2020 12:16pm)

No at our wedding. My husband ended up on the floor 🙈 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 27th Jan 2020 6:26pm)

There is going to be a lot of trial and error here. Things like onion salt and garlic pepper really add flavour to veg. Steaming frozen broccoli (just in the colander over some boiling water) with onion salt is my fave! My man has a chicken salad for his lunch almost every day. One chicken breast (cooked in the over for 40 mins with a mixture of dried spices or herbs), baby leaf salad, cucumber, tomatoes and sugar snap peas with a little olive oil as a dressing. That would do my nut in, I need variety so I'll do a few days of chicken and veg, chicken salad, a soup etc. If you're in a position to buy, get a rice cooker, or slow cooker!! Marco Pierre White has a really good chilli recipe that's easy and a quick watch. Great for batch cooking and you can add in extra veg / pulses to bulk it out. Also might be worth looking at Joe Wicks (body coach) videos. Just watch, depending on how you're eating some of his recipes are quite high calories. Good luck! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 28th Jan 2020 12:08am)

Would not recommend Hutchesons. Cold food and the private room was falling apart, a cupboard door actually fell off during our meal. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 1st Feb 2020 8:59am)

Was it the upstairs bit? This was 2 Christmases ago so in fairness they could've fixed any issues. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 1st Feb 2020 10:35am)

We're around £65 over Christmas, just got the January bill in to say it was down to £55 so I'd say you're about right. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 4th Feb 2020 12:54pm)

Also just to chime in about how long the process takes, if you have a family tartan and it's on the rare side this might take longer as it may need to be ordered in from a specific kilt maker. But if you get your measurements over to which ever shop you choose they will keep you right on tartan! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 10th Feb 2020 12:22pm)

Done. I was once in your shoes. Keep writing, even if it's just a few sentences! Also, if you can and feel comfortable, reach out to another lecturer you like and ask them to read over some sections for feedback. Good luck. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 28th Feb 2020 7:43pm)

Asda Royston "only" opening 6 am - 12 midnight from now on, the woman at the til was telling us. To allow them to restock. Said they've already received abuse about the reduced hours 🙄 by Jomato_Soup (Tue 17th Mar 2020 6:07pm)

Made the difficult decision not to go to my best friend's upcoming wedding. Feel shite about it but I do not want to risk it and I don't want to spend essentially a month's mortgage on the trip. Also, if it was me, I would get married at the registry and cancel any additional celebration but 🤷🏼‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Thu 19th Mar 2020 12:26am)

Thank you! Yeah, had a conversation along those lines but the show will go on :( by Jomato_Soup (Thu 19th Mar 2020 12:33am)

Scotrail revised timetable starts Monday, less trains to help with deep cleaning. They've no update yet app yet, but have a list on their website of the changes. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 20th Mar 2020 9:03am)

Yeah still there. You can register / book online. Phone lines might be busy as they had a bit of drive on the news the other day? I'm due in on Tuesday and all info says open as normal. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 20th Mar 2020 10:41am)

Glad you've got in, maybe they were just overloaded with traffic and good people booking in! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 20th Mar 2020 12:02pm)

Aye that was my concern. I see GCC have removed charges for on street parking so that will defo help! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 21st Mar 2020 10:05am)

We found our Aldi and local shop had everything we needed, Shettleston/Riddrie area. Good luck! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 22nd Mar 2020 10:20am)

Really worried that my Dad's work have asked him to come in when we believe he'll be classed in the "vulnerable" category (heart condition, heart attack history one of which was less than six montha ago and diabetes). They told him a week ago to go home on full pay for 12 weeks. Then on Friday it was two weeks. Now, today they told him to visit the NHS website and he'd need to come back if he doesn't have symptoms. Wtf! I'm waiting to find out more info before I take this further, I just need to vent! by Jomato_Soup (Wed 25th Mar 2020 10:34pm)

As above, it's free. But had been quite busy the past few days. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 26th Mar 2020 12:54pm)

Coronavirus does not stop your junkie neighbour being absolute riots. Who knew? 40 minutes the police spent talking them down. They're claiming they have the virus! Feel sorry for the police in that situation. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 28th Mar 2020 9:22am)

Never been so appreciative of my stupid, wee, only one person on it at a time, balcony. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 29th Mar 2020 11:13am)

I always plan to do stuff with it, but never do. We just put wee seats out on it when it's sunny. Maybe now I'll plan and order stuff for when it's safe! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 29th Mar 2020 12:33pm)

It's about 2 foot deep so you'd be reclining off the edge but I am now thinking of ways to make it nicer. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 29th Mar 2020 12:35pm)

Just mindlessly watching the birds out my window and seen our friends who live a few streets away out on their daily walk. Mental but having a wee blether out the window, two floors up, has brightened my day. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 5th Apr 2020 1:52pm)

Didn't hear anything but have heard a helicopter fly over at least 3 times in the past 20 minutes. Not sure if it will be related? I'm in the East End. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Apr 2020 12:15am)

Do you have any communal garden area you could sit in? We do, but a fox got into one of the bins so it's a bit of a riot right now. No one else uses it so I really should go tidy it up! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Apr 2020 3:42pm)

A lot less people out on our walk today, went earlier so missed the sunniest part of the day which probably helped. Did see two herons and a tortoiseshell butterfly though! Now sitting about and waiting until I can make dinner and then family quiz night (via video call)! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Apr 2020 3:40pm)

How was the shops? I'm going for the first time in almost a month and I'm a bit feart (husband has went every other time so feel I'm due a go). by Jomato_Soup (Mon 13th Apr 2020 11:00am)

I went! It was actually fine, apart from people not following the one way. Well I say people, one guy mainly and I kept seeing him. Got everything we needed and reduced price Easter Eggs, cause why not. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 13th Apr 2020 12:59pm)

I went and it was fine. No queue, but I have heard going a bit later is quieter. Got all we needed :) by Jomato_Soup (Mon 13th Apr 2020 1:00pm)

I know it's not what you asked but maybe it'll help until you get a machine. I (only recently) started doing milk and coffee in the mug first, giving that a swirl or stir, add a sugar if it's really cheap stuff, then add the water (preferably about a minute after the kettle boils). It's much creamier as the boiling water doesn't burn the shitey ground up stuff. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 14th Apr 2020 10:39am)

Salmon Teriyaki 👌 by Jomato_Soup (Wed 15th Apr 2020 7:32pm)

My daily walks and clean sheets on the bed are now cathartic experiences to help with those days. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 18th Apr 2020 6:41pm)

Making homemade chicken chasni for dinner tonight. Seems easy enough... marinating now. Send thoughts and prayers please. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 19th Apr 2020 3:31pm)

The chasni was not a chasni but it was great! I am going to try it again at some point with a few changes; more tomato sauce, more cream, less mango chutney. Any tips appreciated. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 20th Apr 2020 12:33pm)

Supermarkets are probably your best bet if you don't want to order online. My friend works in George, said a woman was in last week buying literally a whole new wardrobe because her washing machine was broken so I think a few tops you're good. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 20th Apr 2020 12:37pm)

Cheers George! At first I did think you were just telling me to get a takeaway... But google confirms it's a real book, with various editions, and I am interested. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 20th Apr 2020 2:43pm)

I don't think they are blaming her. Just stating that in light of her comments yesterday, it's now time for them to take action. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 24th Apr 2020 12:26pm)

Yeah, it is poorly worded. Shocking that! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 24th Apr 2020 12:38pm)

I had a craving for a cajun chicken panini. Didn't make it exactly, but created some kind of extreme cheese on toast! It's been an interesting time for food. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 24th Apr 2020 12:50pm)

Now it's really on! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 30th Apr 2020 3:44pm)

Time for the highly anticipated turning of the calendar! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 1st May 2020 9:01am)

First time out since the recommendation to wear masks. Used a buff as I don't have anything else. Only about a quarter of people wore something. Felt quite self conscious but hopefully it'll become more common. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 4th May 2020 6:38pm)

No, but my Mum always enjoys seeing this when she comes through to visit. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 6th May 2020 12:00am)

I know we've established it's Coia's. BUT also try Tibo, I dream about their French Toast. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 6th May 2020 1:51pm)

Oh, agree! I stay a stones throw (ish) from Dennistoun now but feel like these things are far away :( by Jomato_Soup (Wed 6th May 2020 4:06pm)

Oh and Scran! Again, the French Toast (there's a theme here). by Jomato_Soup (Wed 6th May 2020 8:36pm)

There is a list of 500 "greatest" albums according to Rolling Stone that my husband is going through. Some interesting ones on there. I'm just going through bands like Queen, and listening to their full back catalogue. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 7th May 2020 6:42pm)

The Vogue Chippy is really good (East End). Not currently open. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 13th May 2020 11:20pm)

Mini Grill are doing deliveries. You can find them on Facebook, or just go to their website. Halloumi is a good shout too! Edit to add: sorry, happy anniversary!! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 18th May 2020 1:40pm)

We see one at the Huggy all the time too! Love them. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 25th May 2020 7:41pm)

Yes, mass gatherings aren't ideal. But neither is hundreds of years worth of oppression. I won't condemn those who went today. I'm proud it was peaceful! Donate to a charity like black minds matter and keep supporting the cause. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 7th Jun 2020 4:16pm)

I don't disagree with you. I didn't go today because of the reasons you mention. I have worked with people forgotten about and marginalised by society. I've seen people stripped of their voice. I've been part of organisations started to help change policy and lives, they are still around today because we've not really changed. I continue to support those organisations through work, by sharing info and donating. I shared information about the online protest as well. I just can't be mad at someone who needed to protest today, to make changes that are required across the world. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 7th Jun 2020 5:09pm)

Unconfirmed, but my Twitter is filling up with people saying there has been multiple stabbings. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 26th Jun 2020 1:41pm)

Yeah seeing this now. What is happening :( also hearing a police officer may be one of the victims. Not good. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 26th Jun 2020 1:52pm)

Loved them!! I got engaged there 😊 by Jomato_Soup (Thu 6th Aug 2020 7:54pm)

We’re going to a lodge on Loch Tay in September, between Killan and Fearnan. Cannot wait! But they sleep 6+ so might not fit your bill. Someone already mention Yellowscott. Defo recommend. Lodges sleep 2 and all have private hot tub. Lovely walks round about as well. Try a website called homeaway.co.uk as well as air bnb but make sure you search the owner direct as they will potentially have a better price as they don’t need to pay any fees. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 6th Aug 2020 8:01pm)

Thanks! It ended up raining the day before so my husband couldn’t propose during our walk round the trails like he planned, it was too mucky for us to stop. So he did it later that day, just as we were about to go in the hot tub. All I could think was, “he’s proposing to me whilst I’m in my house coat” 🙈 by Jomato_Soup (Thu 6th Aug 2020 9:06pm)

Cotton buds and a saline solution are your friend to keep it clean until it’s healed. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 12th Aug 2020 11:45am)

Haha. Try having it knocked out by accident, heal up then re-pierced... Oh also, every so often I nudge mine out in my sleep so I keep a spare bar around just in case. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 12th Aug 2020 2:14pm)

Hahahaha. You’ll be fine. It’s not sore! I’ve had my nose pierced for 10 years, no issues. I dunno why it happens sometimes but it’s always better to have a spare just in case. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 12th Aug 2020 3:04pm)

Shout out for Babs! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 23rd Aug 2020 3:10pm)

I don’t think so. In her update, Sturgeon said she couldn’t visit her family in Ayrshire. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 1st Sep 2020 6:49pm)

Can trades folk still work in your house? If it’s on the gov website already can someone link me? by Jomato_Soup (Tue 1st Sep 2020 8:02pm)

The restrictions come into effect at midnight, tonight. It’s not law, yet, just guidance. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 1st Sep 2020 8:21pm)

They did say I’d have to pay extra for that... by Jomato_Soup (Tue 1st Sep 2020 8:27pm)

Thank you! Figured there would be more info on today. This covers it all 👍 by Jomato_Soup (Wed 2nd Sep 2020 8:17am)

There’s not really much around there. You’ve got a few wee shops and takeaways, bit further on to Duke St Station. It’s a bit run down looking but it’s fairly quiet. You’ll be fine! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 7th Sep 2020 4:04pm)

I wear a pair of waterproof trousers to work and change when I get there! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 12th Sep 2020 5:44pm)

Where’s Derrry airport? by Jomato_Soup (Wed 16th Sep 2020 7:24pm)

Can you report it damaged and request a new one? I know that’s a lie... but I mean, if there’s no other options. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 16th Sep 2020 7:35pm)

Pain in the area. Just pile a few bin bags up, take a pic and stick it on the gcc Twitter. Maybe tag your local councillor or MSP? I appreciate every resource is strained because of Covid but no bin collection leads to sanitation problems. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 16th Sep 2020 9:01pm)

The pdsa animal hospital on Charing Cross? by Jomato_Soup (Wed 16th Sep 2020 9:33pm)

Ah, is that the Irish spelling? by Jomato_Soup (Thu 17th Sep 2020 9:39am)

My pal works for Vodafone and they were told to hide lanyards / work branding because there was a genuine concern for their safety. Fuck that. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 19th Sep 2020 12:14am)

Is this near Parkhead? I have no info on it but see it whilst driving and never manage to get a good look. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 25th Sep 2020 12:55pm)

I appreciate this might have turned up at someone’s door who was starving... But would most folk no just say wrong door? I 100% would. Folk are cunts. Hope you’re getting another one sent out for free?? by Jomato_Soup (Sun 27th Sep 2020 9:22pm)

The urge to drive over them is strong (the mad wee bumps, no cyclists). by Jomato_Soup (Mon 28th Sep 2020 11:45am)

Me too! Even went to Iceland to try and see them, massive storm and everything was closed and cancelled. Gutted. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 28th Sep 2020 8:39pm)

Yeah it really is that price 👎 You should check citylink bus as that used to be cheaper, not been on it for a while though! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 28th Sep 2020 9:32pm)

Biscuit sales during lockdown must have beeb through the roof. My scales are not happy. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 29th Sep 2020 9:28am)

It’s typing that’s the real skill! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 29th Sep 2020 10:25am)

Apparently February in the US. October here and across Europe 🤷‍♀️ I can’t remember it being October before. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 1st Oct 2020 12:43pm)

I go to City Dental by Clyde Munro, got all done up last year. Used to look like an old Victorian House inside, now very swank! The team are fab and I’ve got no complaints. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 1st Oct 2020 7:22pm)

I know I sound about 100 but the weather has defo turned in the last week and the nights are fair drawin in. Love the colours on the tree! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 3rd Oct 2020 4:43pm)

Top does have benefits, no noise above and we normally don’t need our heating on March - October. Less noise from the close door etc. But since we’ve been stuck in all day, every day I feel like our floor boards have got louder and I do feel bad for my neighbour below. Stairs are a pain when you’ve done your big shop and bought something else heavy. Logistics of what goes up first, or do you strongman it and take the lot. Someone else said the key thing though, neighbours make a close! If it’s dirty / got junk lying about I would avoid regardless of floor. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 4th Oct 2020 12:48am)

Aww bless, I’m sure they appreciated that! We got work done a wee while ago so let them know and they were fine with that. They’ve stayed here a long time and just always say “we know the floors creak, they always have”. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 4th Oct 2020 11:19am)

Aye, I mean you don’t want to tiptoe about. But I make an effort no to put washing on or hoover really early or late. 5 out of the 6 flats in our close are considerate of each other. I love my wee bit, but think if we ever have a family we’d look to move to a house. Noise + a pram and stairs 👎 by Jomato_Soup (Sun 4th Oct 2020 4:18pm)

Again! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 4th Oct 2020 8:30pm)

Btw we’ve had a helicopter over the flat (East End) for a while now, would this be related or is something else going on? by Jomato_Soup (Sun 4th Oct 2020 10:21pm)

At first I was trying to work out UGG... like University of Glasgow something. Oh dear. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 5th Oct 2020 11:15pm)

There’s a website called lockdownloo that tells you what toilets are open near by. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 8th Oct 2020 10:40am)

Family are outside Glasgow but still easy driving distance. My mother in law lives alone so we’ve already decided we’ll spend the day with her, but if it’s stricter we’ll go stay with her and form a household. Will be shite no to see my own Mum and family, but they have each other. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 8th Oct 2020 3:19pm)

Still take a day or two off your work. Put your computer or whatever away. Switch off from it! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 9th Oct 2020 9:35am)

It was. But you could still fundraise or take part in the Virtual event, do your own walk or challenge. Fundraising was also doubled by Tom Hunter. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 10th Oct 2020 4:52pm)

Urgh we need to go soon. The last time I went the queue was round the first section of the car park and it took about 20 minutes to go down, hope it’s not much worse! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 12th Oct 2020 1:55pm)

Awesome thanks, will try going around then! Finally making our spare room into a “home office” since working from home is going to last a long time, need to actually make a decent work space and get our living room back. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 12th Oct 2020 6:03pm)

I took my office chair home with me! My husband had to get one though and it defo makes a difference. We seen those desks! Just going for a regular one though. Cannot wait to skive on Reddit in my new office 😂 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 12th Oct 2020 11:55pm)

Was on the news a few nights ago, Cumbria police saying DO NOT COME HERE. Dunno what they can do exactly 🤷‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Thu 15th Oct 2020 1:50pm)

Of the few times we tried Muscle Food, delivery was always a pain with Hermes! The last straw was when they had a total fuck up due to phone lines going down. Anyway, they deliver our ‘fresh meat” after the point it was considered safe and neither Hermes or Muscle Food accepted fault. MF did eventually offer me a reduction on my next order... which I politely declined. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 15th Oct 2020 11:41pm)

I think they are both as bad as each other. This was sometime ago so I’m over it. Honest! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 16th Oct 2020 11:53am)

It’s really the most aggravating thing. People both spell and pronounce my name wrong. Do they think I’ve said my own name wrong? by Jomato_Soup (Fri 16th Oct 2020 11:59am)

A part of my soul dies every time 😂😂 by Jomato_Soup (Fri 16th Oct 2020 12:19pm)

If you’ve not already, check the stock online first. It’s not a long wait, but things like desks and office chairs are on a bit of a delay. You can set up for an email notification when they’re back in stock. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 20th Oct 2020 9:41am)

Our factor is Your Place and we pay £45 a month. This includes building insurance, close cleaning and grass cutting. Additional for extra work as and when required split between the 6 flats. Never had any bother with them. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 21st Oct 2020 1:53pm)

This thing haunts my dreams. Creepy af. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 21st Oct 2020 6:58pm)

To get Blondie tickets for next year or not... £85. Are they worth it? Might never see them again... by Jomato_Soup (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 10:34am)

Love it!! I’m still on the fence about this one though 😬 by Jomato_Soup (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 11:39am)

This is my fear. I love Debbie Harry, she is an absolute icon. But herion + old age do not tend to mix... I don’t want to ruin them. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 11:38am)

What else have I got to spend my money on 🤷‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 4:16pm)

Haha. Well as my husband pointed out, when they’re gone they are gone (in light of the recent passing of Eddie Van Halen). So I’m looking forward to it now I’ve actually bought the tickets. Garbage are a band I like but never properly got in to, so I’ve got a year to listen to their back catalogue. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 4:21pm)

I’m nervous at how old I’m coming across here? I’m young... honest... 👀 by Jomato_Soup (Fri 23rd Oct 2020 6:38pm)

There is a Pure Gym in Robroyston but if you don’t drive that’s probably a no go. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 25th Oct 2020 9:29pm)

This plus having astigmatism, like driving in a kaleidoscope. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 29th Oct 2020 1:56pm)

I went with my Mum two years ago and it was cool to walk around at night with the lights and all. But I wasn’t blown away. We were also a few wines in before we went (for warmth) which helped! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 2nd Nov 2020 11:54am)

I’ve heard the Enchanted Forest at Pitlochry is meant to be amazing, sells out so quickly though. Maybe look into that for next year? I am! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 2nd Nov 2020 1:38pm)

The advertising on this website is a belter “looking to immigrate to Canada?” by Jomato_Soup (Wed 4th Nov 2020 8:25am)

Agree! I had blurred vision several years ago and it was actually swollen optic nerves. An eye test is so much more than just checking your vision. OP where ever you go, just make sure you get booked in soon 👍 by Jomato_Soup (Thu 5th Nov 2020 12:26pm)

Yeah this is confusing to me! The little guy (independent clothes/book shops, hairdressers, cafes etc.) need to close but I can still finish my Christmas shopping on the high street because Next also sell cushions? I don’t have answers but I’m interested in replies. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 18th Nov 2020 12:17pm)

Had some of my wedding pictures taken here last year. So pretty. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 21st Nov 2020 2:46pm)

There’s actually still a few goths stuck in one of the massive muddy puddles. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 29th Nov 2020 6:29pm)

Said I’d never go back to Bellahouston after The Cure and the absolute riot of the grounds. But some how Biffy tickets have been purchased! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 12th Dec 2020 1:53pm)

The Scum were probably foaming at the mouth to get this story out. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 11:34pm)

TK Maxx quite often have Le Creuset things in. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 27th Dec 2020 10:54pm)

We’ve bought every type of party food from Aldi and the two of us will eat it all like the lockdown fatties we’ve become. The bar is fully stocked too - happy days. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 31st Dec 2020 12:24pm)

Riddrie is quiet and depending what side of Cumbernauld Road you’re on you’ve got Alexandra Parade or Carntyne station - both about 8 minutes into town with 4 trains an hour. You can realistically pay £80-£90k for a 2 bedroom flat here (might not be a tenement/sandstone) but still nice enough. There are also the 4 in a block “cottages” (why are they called that??) more on the Carntyne side that fit your budget. Parking is normally okay although best to drive along after 6pm just to double check. I see one on Girvan Street for £80k but it needs a lot of work done, I wouldn’t pay that knowing I’d need a new kitchen and bathroom. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 5th Jan 2021 8:55pm)

Dumbreck Playbarn has sessions you can book. It does cost to go but as far as I can see they are taking restrictions very seriously whilst still providing fun activities. Good luck! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 11th Jan 2021 10:09am)

EE here and can’t fault them. I’m in the East End and always have signal. When I could go into city centre and beyond I alway had good coverage. I’ve got unlimited everything for a good price (existing customer and early upgrade deal). They did, once, fuck up my contract but as soon as I called about it they fixed it and gave me a price reduction. So all in all, I’m happy. I’ve previously been with 3 who I found had good signal but was very difficult to get customer support. Vodafone were the worst I’ve been with! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 11th Jan 2021 10:14am)

That sounds really harsh! I know it must feel demoralising but take this further. Contact your uni, regulator and MSP. Also congrats on the wee one. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 11th Jan 2021 3:21pm)

Another shout for First Mortgage. No fee and good service and rates! Use them to remortgage too and they continued to impress. We went to the High St branch. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 12th Jan 2021 12:11pm)

I mean... what’s the manager meant to do? by Jomato_Soup (Thu 14th Jan 2021 12:43pm)

That’s Andy Gray passed away. What a legend. Seeing him in the panto every year was always a treat. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 18th Jan 2021 4:40pm)

You could take the Whitburn junction and go to Polkemmet Park. You know the big, mad horn? You can walk down to it. They also have an owl centre and golf. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Jan 2021 5:49pm)

We were convinced this was haunted when I was wee. My pal’s Mum drove us out there in the middle of the night (probably about half 8) to look for ghosts. It was so foggy, no one around and we all started screaming because we thought we saw something. Pal’s Mum floors it back home with us aw greeting and hyper. Good times. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Jan 2021 5:52pm)

An embarrassment! It was meant to put out a signal you could hear on your radio... I think?? But it never worked. I also think they just put stuff like that about to make a very boring road “interesting”. Dunno if he still does this but the farmer who has sheep on the pyramids spray paints them red or sometimes different colours for charity awareness. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Jan 2021 5:57pm)

Cleaned the washing machine yesterday. Offt what a Saturday! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 24th Jan 2021 11:51am)

Can you take a day or two off this week? I know you can’t go anywhere but just having a day to allow yourself to laze around, and plan for the week ahead can help. I’ve been trying to do a wee bit of meditation everyday (even a 3 minute breathing exercise has helped) and I’ve started a diary. I mean, nothing exciting going in it but if my anxiety is playing up, writing those thoughts down do help. You might want to try reducing your screen time before bed to switch your brain off before sleep. I know this isn’t specific to your ask but a good sleep helps! Also the weather isn’t the best for it but do get out (if you can) for a walk. If you can’t face going outside at least open a window and get some fresh air. And I’m going to go against other replies (from personal experience) working from bed does not help it just sets bad habits. I did this all through uni and I still struggle to sleep/ switch off years later. So I have to put the above steps in place in get myself in sleep mode. Don’t be too hard on yourself but you owe it to yourself to take care of you. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 25th Jan 2021 3:55pm)

And matchmakers. A full box may or may not have been consumed last night... by Jomato_Soup (Mon 25th Jan 2021 5:55pm)

Aldi ones are good. Or you can buy this wee device to go over your finger and it helps cut open your orange, they cost about £2.00. Buying one is accepting old age has arrived though! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 28th Jan 2021 1:58pm)

My experience is also yes! Using two different systems and needing just one person from each to have what transpired as a 5 minute phone call to resolve a month long issue. Argh. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 3rd Feb 2021 10:45am)

Genuine question, where would you say the station is? by Jomato_Soup (Thu 4th Feb 2021 9:13pm)

Aye, fair enough. There is about 1 minute between the two stations. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 4th Feb 2021 9:19pm)

That’s awful! Well done for getting details and making the report. Dunno what they’ll do but you can bet this won’t be a one off incident so hopefully it’s more evidence against this person. Hope you’re okay x by Jomato_Soup (Wed 10th Feb 2021 1:21pm)

Is there a phone number on the envelope? Or can you google the return address and get a contact number that way? We had the same problem with some insurance company sending a letter every month to Mr Whoever. After sending 4 or 5 RTS my husband called them and said STOP THAT. They obliged. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 15th Feb 2021 5:04pm)

Can you give it back to your postie rather than a rts? Leave it outside your door with a note if you never see them. Or open it and just look at the nhs practice so you can phone them? It’s not like you’re deliberately looking at someone else’s mail. You don’t need to read the letter, just get the hospital details. If it’s your only option to get it to the right place 🤷‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Mon 15th Feb 2021 5:27pm)

Why not do the virtual Kiltwalk in April? Any challenge (doesn’t have to be a walk this time) and you’ll get a top-up on your fundraising of 50% You can fundraise for any charity in Scotland. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 17th Feb 2021 6:29pm)

Done my first after work walk of the year. Got to start somewhere and feeling good about it! by Jomato_Soup (Wed 17th Feb 2021 6:31pm)

Not yet. Was gifted it for my birthday, really looking for to the read! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 23rd Feb 2021 5:50pm)

I don’t think you can request which one you want at your appointment. Especially if you’re going to a mass vaccine centre as they more than likely won’t have pfizer due to storage. When you get your letter in I would recommend calling the helpline and asking about your options. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 24th Feb 2021 5:26pm)

No. I’m happy with either. You don’t get to ask for a certain flu jab etc. So I really don’t mind. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 24th Feb 2021 5:57pm)

Vaccine appointments getting delivered in a blue envelope to stand out/ ensure priority posting. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 25th Feb 2021 3:08pm)

Some wee guys just decided to set off fireworks out the front of our flat next to the road. Go ahead and celebrate sure... but it’s illegal and dangerous to set them off in the street. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 7th Mar 2021 2:11pm)

Keep up with paracetamol and lots of water. Hopefully be over within 24 hours. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 8th Mar 2021 2:04pm)

I got rid of Twitter and IG last year - don’t miss it. Kept FB but drastically reduced “friends” literally to the 100+ I invited to my wedding and it’s a nicer experience as I only use it to speak to pals and family I can’t see right now. I also put a screen time on my phone and certain apps (Reddit) which has helped! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 11th Mar 2021 11:19am)

UberEats delivered our food to the wrong house last night. We know which one because it was on the delivery confirmation. Getting a refund but I will stink eye that house every time I walk past! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 14th Mar 2021 9:55am)

I know. I would like to believe it was just a genuine mistake. Still raging though 🤣 The delivery driver knew they fucked it cause they refused our calls. Hope they choked on the hot wings. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 14th Mar 2021 3:02pm)

We didn’t. The delivery confirmation was for the wrong house. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 14th Mar 2021 3:18pm)

Haha bless ye. I bet they still talk about it! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 14th Mar 2021 4:05pm)

Right our address was on the order confirmation. When the app said “delivered” it was to a different address. Dunno what else to tell you. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 14th Mar 2021 4:20pm)

I live near the Huggie and the amount of cars that get abandoned at the side of the main road/bike lanes is pretty bad. If folk are doing that and causing obstructions in a residential area it would get very annoying, very quickly. I’ve never seen/heard any confrontation any time I’ve walked past. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 16th Mar 2021 6:12pm)

Pandemic so no one has cash? I always try to tip but hard when you’ve no been out and are paying by card. You can tip on Uber Eats with card which I thought went to the driver/delivery person? by Jomato_Soup (Thu 18th Mar 2021 7:16pm)

I’ve been wiping mine with a flash wipe and leaving it on the close stairs - they must think I’m mental. But still, I like to tip the delivery drivers, taxi and bar staff. Know far too many people doing those jobs and relying on tips. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 18th Mar 2021 8:14pm)

A lost video I recorded ten years ago, with footage of my Gran’s last Christmas and her singing old pit songs, has been found! Total fluke but I’m so chuffed. Cannot wait to share with my family. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 20th Mar 2021 11:32am)

It’s great stuff! The video is quite long but my husband is going to take one of the songs, a family favourite, cut it and put some music over it and I’ll make a wee video slideshow. Going to keep that part a secret and send it over on my Gran’s birthday. Cannot wait until the next family party! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 20th Mar 2021 1:35pm)

“This is Scottish news, not Glaswegian news.” 🙄 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 10:40pm)

No not at all. This was a childish jab at a deleted post from earlier. I’m very pro 1901 and you for spreading the news. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 11:23pm)

I delete it every week! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 25th Mar 2021 10:13pm)

Me too! Been to a few gigs up in the rafter there and it’s always okay. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 25th Mar 2021 10:11pm)

Is the registry office in the council building on George square? If so, it’s stunning! But another shout for Sloans, I had my reception in there but they have smaller room called The Snug. Beautiful! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 12:07pm)

As someone who got married abroad, just the two of us, then had a big party later. It’s the way to go! No drama on the day, very romantic. Then way less stress as the reception after. Congratulations when it happens! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 1:13pm)

Folk in the East End just flirt differently. A guy, about 100 years old, once spat on the ground as I walked past him near Redmonds and said, “you’re the prettiest lassie I’ve seen on Duke Street all day”. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 5th Apr 2021 8:53pm)

Hmm about 4 in the afternoon. He’d seen plenty lassies to make his judgement! Don’t take this away from me. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 5th Apr 2021 9:14pm)

Amazing! I don’t live in Dennistoun any more but, aye, Duke Street was always interesting! P.S hope your pal is actually alright, that is a very creepy letter and texts to get. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 5th Apr 2021 9:19pm)

Shame. Maybe he can phone his network provider and change his number? Genuinely hope the police take it seriously. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 5th Apr 2021 9:35pm)

As some who has been looking into cognitive behavioural therapy I did not know until (unfortunately) very recently that there was another CBT... by Jomato_Soup (Tue 20th Apr 2021 11:11pm)

Hope you’re okay! If you don’t mind me asking, how long were you waiting? Had my first in Feb so just wondering if it’s the full 12 week wait. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 24th Apr 2021 12:21pm)

Ah that’s great! I got mine very end of Feb so I think I’m still a few weeks off. Hope you’re feeling okay? by Jomato_Soup (Sat 24th Apr 2021 4:23pm)

They will be allowed to open but from what I’ve read - some shops are keeping fitting rooms closed for now. Best bet it to phone the specific branch. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 25th Apr 2021 8:18am)

Has he went to the dr? Could be unrelated and the vaccine just masked symptoms of an infection. He defo should get checked out just to be on the safe side! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 25th Apr 2021 7:55pm)

I love McIlvanney. He also has a book of short stories called Walking Wounded and loads of them are set in Glasgow. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 28th Apr 2021 7:21pm)

They have a fresh fruit and veg stall at the forge but also do deliveries. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 3rd May 2021 5:24pm)

You can and you can get a bag of Freddo faces now too. I think Taz bars became caramel Freddos? by Jomato_Soup (Mon 10th May 2021 12:03pm)

As someone from “the east” this is triggering! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 11th May 2021 9:30am)

I’ve studied then lived in Glasgow for around 10 years now and I don’t get slagged all the time. But as soon as I say an East phrase “ken” “bunker” etc. there is always much hilarity. Still. Ten years later. Get over it, the kitchen counter is the bunker. Although my accent is fucked. As soon as I go back home everyone says I sound Glaswegian but my husband says I’m more East Coast than ever! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 11th May 2021 9:35am)

I dunno why someone downvoted you - especially after the last line!! Just add a few ehs and likes in you’re fine. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 11th May 2021 2:43pm)

Another Scottish Couples Come Dine With Me. Queue embarrassment. If I have to go back to the office I’ll miss watching this with my lunch. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 18th May 2021 12:31pm)

I tip my hairdresser and beautician. Normally just round up to make it even. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 1st Jun 2021 12:40pm)

I don’t know about price range but you might want to try Slanj, they’ve got a bigger place on Duke St (just across from the station) and normally have a good range to hire and ex-hire to buy. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 2nd Jun 2021 11:15pm)

£1000 a year seems a bit steep, but maybe it includes some extras? We pay ~£40 per month (although cheaper right now as they gave us a credit due to no work during the first lockdown) and includes building insurance, weekly close cleaning and garden maintenance. Other work, for example we needed a drain pipe replacement and guttering work last year, was split evenly between our 6 flats. Our factor is Lowther (Your Place) and they always seem okay. As others said, it’s not mandatory but a lot of closes will already have something established. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 4th Jun 2021 6:15pm)

Oft we must have lucked out. Tbf I had no idea about factors before buying so if I got told £80 a month then I’d have thought it was alright. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 4th Jun 2021 10:02pm)

Shoe rack or coat stand? A lamp? Big candle? Also congratulations!! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 5th Jun 2021 8:54am)

Do you work with or know (outwith a relation) any accounts or civil servants? They could sign it for you and it would be free. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 5th Jun 2021 9:02am)

A bet you could get a 1m candle in the Lidl special buys! If you can add in more storage - do it. Been here 4 years and still move my clothes horse room to room as it has no home. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 5th Jun 2021 9:06am)

I, once, dared to ask this question on Facebook. Offt. The hate! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 8th Jun 2021 8:52am)

You could argue that the fanzone will/should be monitored to ensure social distancing like in a pub. Licenses need to be in place for mass gatherings and health and safety can warn or close down an event or establishment not following the rules. Parents at football or sports days wouldn’t have the same level of checks etc. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 10th Jun 2021 4:46pm)

Aw that’s awful. Have very fond memories of visiting there and camping around Loch Tay with my Dad and his mad pals when I was wee. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 12th Jun 2021 11:30am)

Paying the drivers but no other staff Sunday rates. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 19th Jun 2021 3:42pm)

I don’t work for them so I don’t know all the info. A Sunday shift usually pays time and a half, or overtime, or some additional rate. At some point this additional rate was removed when new contracts were created. The drivers said no - we want our additional rate. They got it. The guards and ticket inspectors didn’t so they’ve went on strike. I’m totally simplifying the situation but up the workers ✊ by Jomato_Soup (Sat 19th Jun 2021 4:37pm)

Went out for food and drink last night! Stayed out til last orders. Mad lads! Props to the Howlin’ Wolf - great service and felt very Covid safe but with a great atmosphere. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 20th Jun 2021 8:00am)

Sorry late reply! We went to that German doner place which was tasty. But would eat at Howlin’ Wolf as the food always looks good. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 20th Jun 2021 11:47pm)

Give the optician a phone but you might be waiting a while. Hospitals are really busy with non-Covid folk now. As an aside (this was 7 years ago). I did have a referral from Specsavers to neuro-ophthalmology which took around 10 days. Hope everything is okay! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 21st Jun 2021 9:17am)

If you have sore head/migraine, blurry vision or anything else that’s concerning you then phone tomorrow just to be on the safe side. Those were my symptoms and it turned out I had swollen optic nerves. Totally random, it was called “idiopathic intracranial hypertension”. I had to take tablets for about a year and then it just went away 🤷‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Mon 21st Jun 2021 6:12pm)

Glad you’re okay! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 12:32pm)

Been to Alton Towers a few ways: Early train, bus straight to the park and back again. Oft it’s a long day. Train down and stay in Stoke, bus to the park no bother. Also check if Urquhart Travel are doing their coach trips. What a laugh they are! Blackpool is just as grim as always. But when you’re wee you don’t notice which makes it all the more depressing as an adult. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 6:03pm)

You enjoy it! I got a cheaper VAX one last year (although was still about £100) and it’s shite! I heard the shark has headlights on it? by Jomato_Soup (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 6:08pm)

Haha aye don’t do it! Rough. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 7:02pm)

My favourite IT guy has left!! He knew our system inside out, nothing was a bother for him and he actually helped improve our service by teaching me loads. I now have to log tickets the traditional way and so far the help has not been helpful. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 24th Jun 2021 9:31am)

All events can apply for an extension to the current guidelines. They may also be able to say that the full procession is made up of groups/bands walking in smaller numbers. No that I’m in support of this specific march but it can be done. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 1st Jul 2021 8:38pm)

Ours came in two working days. Request it right now (if you haven’t already) and hopefully it’ll be with you this week. When requesting it you’re logged into the NHS vaccine bookings site - would they accepted you logging in and showing them proof that way? As a worst case scenario. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 15th Aug 2021 6:29pm)

Heating came on of its own accord last night. I can smell the German market already! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 16th Aug 2021 8:36am)

Spoke to Jane McCarry (Isa, Still Game) on the phone. My old work were looking at hiring her to MC at a ball. She was really nice and chatty, even though we ended up not booking her. Seen Gavin Mitchell (Boaby, Still Game) in the queue at Primark. A few “two pints, prick” thrown his way that he just ignored 😂 And to complete my Still Game hat-trick I also served Stevie the Bookie. Awkwardly said “you really look like Stevie the Bookie” and he just laughed, menacingly, and said, “A um!”. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 8th Sep 2021 5:34pm)

It wasn’t bad… tonight. Not sure how well the green will fare after the weekend. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 9th Sep 2021 11:36pm)

Same, are we just deaf? by Jomato_Soup (Sun 12th Sep 2021 11:26pm)

If it’s late at night and disturbing you for a year and a half then aye, that would bother me. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 13th Sep 2021 4:09pm)

Why do folk do this!? We’ve got a guy on a quad (no helmet on the main road) and a lad who drives a wee motorbike on the path at night 🤣 But this would do my head in. Hope you get something sorted! by Jomato_Soup (Mon 13th Sep 2021 7:47pm)

I’m taking my Da for his birthday. He’s celiac. Happy to see it mention here a few times. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 14th Sep 2021 3:59pm)

Me too (well we had our reception). Second this 👍 by Jomato_Soup (Wed 15th Sep 2021 4:16pm)

Need to drive from the east end to the west this afternoon. I’ll be avoiding the city centre, but coming off the m8 at Charing Cross. Will I get caught in the madness? by Jomato_Soup (Sat 18th Sep 2021 12:50pm)

Thanks George! I’m further east so that’s fine, can and will avoid. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 18th Sep 2021 1:04pm)

It’ll be the Kiltwalk. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 26th Sep 2021 11:00am)

Try iherb, feel unique and beauty bay for Korean brands. I’ve bought all my Cosrx stuff from these. The skin care subs are really good and the UK ones will help direct you to our stores. I’m currently using: Glossier jelly cleanser. It’s so gentle and doesn’t foam, takes off makeup and feels nice. Cosrx AHA toner 2 a week Neutrogena hydro boost moisturiser - love it! Timeless vit C / hyaluronic acid 2 a week I also have a retinal cream from Superdrug that I use 2 a week. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 4th Oct 2021 10:03pm)

Was beeped and shouted at today for not going forward into a junction and causing an obstruction to other cars… I’m still no sure what the guy was thinking. He beeped at other cars too. He’s asking for trouble with that attitude. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 13th Oct 2021 5:03pm)

I couldn’t believe how angry the guy was. I shouldn’t have but I did shout back at him. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 14th Oct 2021 11:21am)

Decided to call patient bookings this morning as I’ve been waiting on a gynae appointment since December 2020! Got re-referred in May 2021 as urgent. Current times for urgent 25 weeks. Current times for routine 54 weeks! Hopefully get my letter in 5 weeks. Everyone knows why this is happening but it’s a demoralising wait. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 15th Oct 2021 10:02am)

Haha aye my uterus has healed its damaged tissue 👌 I’m a medical marvel! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 15th Oct 2021 12:58pm)

That does make sense. At least they are checking and can hopefully move people up the list! by Jomato_Soup (Fri 15th Oct 2021 3:44pm)

That’s such an achievement! Well done. I donated every 3 months last year - felt so proud. I’m paused the now due to some health reasons but as soon as I can I’ll be back. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 16th Oct 2021 11:17am)

Us too! We live near Barlinnie and I’m sure I could hear them cheering 🤣 by Jomato_Soup (Tue 19th Oct 2021 2:01pm)

Watched the first 2 episodes of series 1. Really enjoying it. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Oct 2021 12:43pm)

Received a letter from the Dr asking me to phone and schedule a non-urgent appointment… Dated 29th Sept! They have a typo in my address. I think the postie must have recognised my name and hoped for the best. Anyway, phoned and my Dr is on holiday. I’ve to phone first thing Monday morning haha. Annoying thing is… I actually spoke to my Dr last week. She didn’t think to mention this? by Jomato_Soup (Thu 21st Oct 2021 2:39pm)

Going to La Lanterna today. Gets loads of good reviews so hopefully I’m in for a treat. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 23rd Oct 2021 11:53am)

It was amazing! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 24th Oct 2021 9:40am)

Highly recommend La Lanterna! Didn’t go wild with the drink either so I’m feeling reasonable today. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 24th Oct 2021 9:45am)

If your in merchant city go to Cafe Gandolfi by Jomato_Soup (Wed 27th Oct 2021 12:06pm)

Yeah I always like to ask the server if they actually get the tip if it’s added on or you’re paying by card. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 1st Nov 2021 11:36am)

Had to start iron tablets as my ferritin level was alarmingly low. Is this it… is this me on tablets now? My Da takes about 12 different things a day. I don’t want to get old 😭 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 1st Nov 2021 11:53am)

Yes the GP was very thorough. It’s not dietary, I eat a good amount of pulses, green veg etc. Unfortunately it happens every month and without going on birth control forever I can’t control it. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 1st Nov 2021 12:20pm)

Aw god, they told me this would happen. And either I’ll no be able to stop shitting or I won’t be able to… great. But if helps me to feel less like a dead slug I’ll do it. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 1st Nov 2021 2:09pm)

Horseshoe! by Jomato_Soup (Wed 3rd Nov 2021 9:24pm)

Happy birthday! 30 and onwards has made me happier and actually get my shit together. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 6th Nov 2021 12:59pm)

Is it really a trip to the fort if you don’t drive around the car park at TK Maxx twice because you’ve missed the exit turn 🙄 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 8th Nov 2021 10:26am)

Another vote for dehumidifier! Ours cost roughly £150 and it’s the best thing we ever bought. We have a Meaco - would recommend. I also put bleach in a bucket, dipped in kitchen roll and stuck that to the worse areas round the windows. I think I left it on for a full day then cleaned it off. Seemed to help. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 11th Nov 2021 8:25pm)

Got to go to Beat6 last night. Outstanding! It’s another 6 by Nico restaurant. Has a changing menu every few weeks and all profits are going to the Beatson. Win win. It’s just across the road from Coia’s in Dennistoun and prices are the same as his Glasgow place. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 13th Nov 2021 8:01am)

🙄 didn’t know my Da had Reddit by Jomato_Soup (Sat 13th Nov 2021 9:12am)

It’s a mixture of all the fan favourites. They plan to change it every two weeks. We had circus, guilty pleasures, Thai, chippy and… I had the wine pairing so I can’t remember but it was brilliant. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 13th Nov 2021 9:18pm)

Discipline is the key and you have that!! Well done. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 14th Nov 2021 12:07pm)

Anyone had flies in your bathroom? Just small things like fruit flies (but the vinegar in a jar didn’t work). No idea where they are coming from, thinking in a vent or behind the toilet? I’ve killed about 10 but more appeared a few days later 🤢 Any product recommendations to clear them? We’re going to be out the house for a few days so can leave it do it its thing. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 15th Nov 2021 12:39pm)

Thanks! It’s proper giving me the boak. Even though the bathroom is clean and I’m trying to reassure myself it’s because it’s cold but the bathroom is warm/humid. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 15th Nov 2021 1:04pm)

Nope :( cactus in another room but it’s pest free. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 15th Nov 2021 1:21pm)

Oh defo, we’ve had wee bugs in the soil before that got the fairy liquid treatment. But the flies in my bathroom are nowhere the plant. They were all around the window/vent in the bathroom. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 15th Nov 2021 8:04pm)

I think Sloan’s would be good with those numbers. Our wedding was there and we had 100(ish) guests and we had to move chairs back for the dancing. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 22nd Nov 2021 2:50pm)

Congratulations!! Was a lovely venue! We only used it for the evening reception as we got married abroad but a full day looks beautiful too. Staff were very helpful and we used LilyCole Events for fairy lights. We were able to go into the “snug” for some family pictures which I would recommend because it’s got that great dark green ceiling but it can only hold like 20 people. We also took a walk around Royal Exchange Square for pics. Big shout to BK photography! And Sloans/Argyll Arcade will let you take photos walking round the arcade after it closes. Especially nice if you got your rings there. With it being in the city centre we had to park on queen street and walk round with boxes of our table decorations etc. It wasn’t the end of the world and if you’re paying someone to decorate then no worries. Was defo cheaper to buy your own bottles and pay corkage. And it’s up 2 flights of stairs with no lift so there is no wheelchair access. Make your band/dj aware because they’ll have to carry up their equipment. Our band Manhattan were awesome and we also booked them a table to get food if they wanted before starting / during their break. Sloan’s we’re happy to accommodate this. Overall I loved it. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 23rd Nov 2021 11:03am)

Doors are at 6pm, first band will on about 7pm, The Hives about 7.45pm/8pm and I reckon The Offspring will on stage around 9pm (maybe a bit before). There are still tickets so it won’t be jam packed. You’ll need a covid passport/proof of vaccine unless your exempt and will need to wear a mask unless eating, drinking or dancing. First gig this size myself so I’m assuming you can remove your mask to jump about when they are on. I hope so! The Raddison Red is very close but dunno what atmosphere is like there. Maybe look at Strip Joint it’s about a 10 min walk away and is decent. Enjoy!! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 27th Nov 2021 4:12pm)

But did you lose a shoe? by Jomato_Soup (Thu 2nd Dec 2021 8:31am)

Just got Kevin Bridges tickets! Got one for my mother-in-law’s Christmas. She thinks it’s sold out so that’ll be a nice surprise for her. If anyone else is looking - it’s says sold out on his social media but you can still buy some on ticketmaster. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 10th Dec 2021 11:56am)

Urgh. Try again in a wee bit? Folk sitting with them in a basket for ages and not buying get chucked out. Oh make sure you’re on the app - the website seemed to say say sold out. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 10th Dec 2021 1:23pm)

Disagree. Folk have had them up around mine for ages. Some have been taken down/blown away due to the bad weather though. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Dec 2021 1:08pm)

Also The Walking Wounded. Book of shorts and one of my absolute favourites. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Dec 2021 1:06pm)

They always have stuff on that “too good to go” app as well - so you can get cheaper items that will be chucked otherwise. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 21st Dec 2021 5:08pm)

We had these last month. Well, we had wee flies. Not fruit flies as they didn’t go for the cider vinegar trick. Sprayed fly killer behind the toilet, at the bathroom window and in the bathroom in general. Left that over night. We were going away for a few nights so stuck some bleach down the bath, sink and toilet. This seemed to work. Good luck! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 23rd Dec 2021 1:50pm)

Happy Christmas Eve! Been a shite week so I’m really looking forward to having a wee drink and nice meal with my family and giving my Maw a big cuddle. How ever you do it - have a lovely weekend and take care of yourselves. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 24th Dec 2021 10:08am)

What’s the general consensus on DCB ltd parking fines? I’ve been sent one from 6 years ago! Since the apparent “offence” I’ve moved and changed my name. Their letter says they used “tracing equipment” to find me. Do I just ignore? Do I contact the shop I was parked at? by Jomato_Soup (Mon 10th Jan 2022 1:19pm)

Thank you. The company are called Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd. I clearly ignored it at the time and forgot all about it. The letter makes it sound scary but without evidence I was even driving then I dunno what they can do 🤷‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Mon 10th Jan 2022 2:17pm)

Thanks! It’s going in the bin. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 10th Jan 2022 6:42pm)

Yeah entirely gluten free and are very allergy aware. Also food is banging!! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 23rd Jan 2022 4:04pm)

We average £45 per month. That covers building insurance, stair cleaning and garden maintenance in summer. We split the bill 6 ways when a repair or things like gutter cleaning need done which is included in the next quarters fees. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 29th Jan 2022 7:01pm)

Anyone else had covid and still have weird taste / smell months on? Had it in September and lost taste and smell. By December it was back but I randomly smell smoke and now peppers have the most sickly sweet taste. Husband confirmed pepper tastes normal to him. Wtf. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 31st Jan 2022 10:41am)

No exactly Glasgow but The Sweet’s “Ballroom Blitz” is about a riot kicking off at a gig they played in Kilmarnock. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 13th Feb 2022 11:59am)

Yeah. Well I hope so! It’s my one musical fact I can retain. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 13th Feb 2022 3:14pm)

So stressful to do this but well done! I agree with those saying try again. Had a similar issue with our neighbour although it was domestic and drug abuse. I had to call three times to be taken seriously and get through to the housing officer as I was fobbed off at first by the factor and GHA. I had called the police at the time but there was a lot of stuff going on which didn’t require an emergency call. Felt like a dick but I eventually said “if this woman is beaten to death or od’s are you happy with the information you’ve given me?” Weirdly they changed their tune. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 22nd Feb 2022 8:06pm)

Me too, she’s amazing! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 26th Feb 2022 11:44pm)

If you go today and see DOH you need to try their donuts! Delightful. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 12th Mar 2022 2:01pm)

Anybody like Joe Lycett and want to see him Saturday in Edinburgh? The lurgy means we can’t go. Selling at face value of £29.50 per ticket. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 23rd Mar 2022 12:34pm)

If you do the actual kiltwalk you will get a 50% top-up on your fundraising. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 31st Mar 2022 1:56pm)

Same thing happened to me around 15 years ago (that makes you feel old!). It was through in Edinburgh but same thing. It was advertised as an events and sales job. Get to the interview and all the team leaders are doing a huddle and chanting “LETS GET RICH”. Took us on the bus about 40 mins away to Port Seton and we’ve to go door to door trying to sell people subscriptions to lovefilm or whatever. Went to about 3 doors until I finally called BS. The guy I was paired up with to “train” me was so shocked I was going to leave. Now that I think back, I was dressed for an interview. A blazer, business dress, tights and wee flimsy shoes… wtf why did I even go on the bus 😂 These companies are the worst. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 6th Apr 2022 10:03pm)

This morning I was the only person in Starbucks wearing a mask, including the staff. There were 4 staff and maybe 7/8 customers. That was new! I’d say it’s been 50-50 on the train and most shops. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 7th Apr 2022 11:04pm)

We paid £2,000 over HR, 5 years ago in the east end. Really want to move from the flat to a house but these threads scare me. Our last valuation for remortgage took us from £70k to £90k!! Madness. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 13th Apr 2022 4:59pm)

Any Jeweller suggestions for getting a white gold ring dipped / re-plated? Or am I best just going to Ernest Jones type place? by Jomato_Soup (Wed 18th May 2022 11:36am)

Thanks! Will pop in tomorrow on my lunch 👍 by Jomato_Soup (Wed 18th May 2022 2:28pm)

Thanks! It’s a bit further out my way but will keep them in mind. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 20th May 2022 8:26am)

Went in on Saturday and it was dismal. At first the bouncers claimed it was too busy, two girls then leave and we ask “can we get in now?”. Reluctantly they graciously allow us. Place was dead (maybe a quarter full) which by pre-covid standard is insane for a Saturday. It was roughly 11pm and the dj wasn’t taking any more karaoke requests. What’s happened?? by Jomato_Soup (Sat 21st May 2022 12:00pm)

I’m an outsider…but lived in Glasgow for roughly 10 years. I say both 🤷‍♀️ by Jomato_Soup (Mon 23rd May 2022 11:45am)

They do, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. I would personally recommend Bryan Gallacher Hair at Beauty Beehive. I’ve never had as many compliments since he cut my hair. Genuinely not going anywhere else. He’s also lovely and very helpful. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 31st May 2022 9:37am)

Fab! Hope you enjoy x by Jomato_Soup (Tue 31st May 2022 11:09am)

Defo phone shelter and the council. You can be given emergency accommodation. I just want to say that you can leave, you’ve got this. You deserve safety and happiness. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 19th Jun 2022 2:11pm)

Please tell this to the guy who was beeping and screaming at me (from his Peugeot 3008) a few months ago because I didn’t go forward and cause a blockage. Absolutely no need pal. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 20th Jun 2022 3:50pm)

They have a great veggie and vegan menu. So tasty! by Jomato_Soup (Tue 28th Jun 2022 1:23pm)

What’s the shuttle service like? Thinking of booking for the Chillies on Friday by Jomato_Soup (Wed 29th Jun 2022 12:32pm)

Cool! I’ve booked it now 👍 by Jomato_Soup (Wed 29th Jun 2022 5:24pm)

Thanks, will give it a go! by Jomato_Soup (Wed 29th Jun 2022 5:24pm)

It’s not been great lately! Dunno if it’s just covid recovery but bouncers have been shocking and the place was dead 😔 shame because I love the horseshoe. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 1st Jul 2022 4:24pm)

How they sounding? Had the chilies cancel so hoping for a good night tomorrow to compensate 😭 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 4th Jul 2022 4:26pm)

Just got a text it’s cancelled 🤣😭 by Jomato_Soup (Mon 4th Jul 2022 9:10pm)

Surprisingly Down to Earth and Very Funny by Jomato_Soup (Wed 6th Jul 2022 10:49pm)

I mean in the past 4 years it’s been a phone repair shop, laundrette, nail place and now this mysterious restaurant… by Jomato_Soup (Tue 12th Jul 2022 10:12pm)

Walking along Trongate 10/11pm and one of the closes you can walk through had a burst pipe. Water shooting up like you seen in films with the American fire hydrants. These two guys, oot their trees, shirtless, jumping round it shouting, “Junkies Shower!” by Jomato_Soup (Wed 20th Jul 2022 7:53pm)

Genuinely feel lucky with our GP. During covid lockdown we had to phone and leave a message with the receptionists on the issue. You then got a phone call appointment/asked to come in same day if urgent. Or a phone call appointment booked in within 2-3 days. Now it’s pretty much back to normal expect phone call appointments have stayed. We can phone any time and book in. We also have lovely receptionists. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 27th Jul 2022 5:38pm)

I think you’re covered for restaurants, although I’ll also shout for Sylvan. I still dream about their black pepper broccoli. Look into the The Vegan Kind online supermarket, they are based in Glasgow area and do a monthly subscription box that’s really great. Also google “accidentally vegan Asda/Lidl” etc and you’ll get great lists from people on normal things that are vegan. Oatly milk is top tier, I order mine online which brings it to £1 rather than £1.80! Best cook book I have is “The Green Toasting Tin” by Rukmimi Iyer. Here are a few meals my husband and I make on the regular, all veggie but can easily be vegan. Let me know if you want the recipes: Lentil spaghetti bolognaise Tofu teriyaki Veggie fajitas Pesto gnocchi bake by Jomato_Soup (Fri 29th Jul 2022 7:44am)

Second Bryan. He is amazing! Genuinely never had so many compliments after a hair cut. He’s about £45 BUT I actually need to visit less than any hairdresser I’ve been to before. He’s also very knowledgeable and will give tips on how to style at home. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 16th Aug 2022 5:04pm)

WFH 3 days, office 2 - but we’re quite flexible. I enjoy the “blended” approach. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 18th Aug 2022 7:15am)

This is embarrassing but how do you know if you’ve used your 10 journeys on a ScotRail smart card thing? I think today was my 10th journey but in all honesty, I’ve lost count. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 6:53pm)

People were panic buying on Sunday and then stocking up when the shops opened after 5pm last night. Madness. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 20th Sep 2022 6:14pm)

There never seems to be much in Glasgow. Edinburgh is your best bet for ghost walks and experiences. However, if you can travel a bit you could do an overnight at the Drovers. Meant to be the most haunted pub. We actually slept next to the “haunted room” but I didn’t feel anything. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 27th Sep 2022 1:43am)

Today had inspired my to apply for a fully home based role. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 4th Oct 2022 12:06pm)

I tip taxi, hairdresser and beautician as well as bar and restaurants. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 18th Oct 2022 9:52am)

Yeah £66 taken off (or added on however you want to look at it) straight away by Bulb. I was fortunate enough to build up credit over summer so it’s actually manageable! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 20th Oct 2022 8:37am)

Another shout for procook. We got our knives and pans from there years ago and they are great! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 29th Oct 2022 11:49am)

Yes! I went there in February and I still think about this broccoli black pepper thing I had. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 4th Nov 2022 12:00pm)

If you shop in asda, get the rewards app! Genuinely had it since August and already had 3 £10 off vouchers for messages. Not so much helpful now, but build credit (if you can) with your heating over summer. I didn’t reduce our costs and have built up decent credit so we’re no in the shit over winter. Wear extra layers if working from home. I’m in a jumper or oodie and thick socks. This was before the crisis but we cut down on meat and dairy. Noticed a £20 drop in our weekly shop. Small things like subbing mince with lentils for bolognaise / oat milk which you can buy from Amazon / make veggie fajitas instead of spending extra on chicken. by Jomato_Soup (Thu 24th Nov 2022 12:07am)

Red Hot Chili Peppers gig has finally be rescheduled to 23 July! Changed location to Hampden though. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 5th Dec 2022 6:09pm)

Also recommend Ocho! They are closed over new year though. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 13th Dec 2022 11:15pm)

Yup. Just back from the fort, car park and some of the paths outside the shops are very icy. Seen a wee one deck it and tragically drop her sweeties. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 17th Dec 2022 12:45pm)

Yes! Two pals at work; one full family with norovirus and one full family with covid. Hope you’re feeling better soon. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 21st Dec 2022 7:38am)

James Brown in the Argyll Arcade 👍 by Jomato_Soup (Tue 17th Jan 2023 7:16am)

I got a call asking if I would be able to make to the next jury service and I answered the phone like a complete fanny (by accident). I also had a dr appointment but they didn’t ask for proof. I was at work and we have bad signal so it’s always a broken line. She confirmed my name but said my maiden name and it threw me so the call went: Court clerk: Hi, is this Jane Smith? Me: Eh… oh, aye! Yes. Sorry. Court clerk: Okay. Can you make jury service or do you have an appointment so you need excused? Me: Right. Erm. I think I actually have a dr appointment. Clerk: Okay. We’ll excuse you. Bye. So act like a complete twat and you’ll be fine. by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Feb 2023 2:34pm)

Hayseed Dixie at St Luke’s tonight. Very excited! by Jomato_Soup (Sat 11th Mar 2023 10:23am)

Slapping! I might still be drunk. We somehow ended up having a few drinks with the guys after the show. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 12th Mar 2023 8:59am)

The best thing you can do is continue being there for your friend. Even at a distance make sure she knows someone is there. He will continually try to manipulate her to abandon you and her other friends and family. On average it takes a woman 7 attempts to leave an abusive relationship (including going back after the initial breakup). The “cycle of abuse” and coercive control are so powerful and it’s just fucking awful to witness. I’m sorry I don’t have much other advice but I do hope she can leave for good very soon! by Jomato_Soup (Thu 23rd Mar 2023 11:35am)

Aw I was at this too! Met the guys from Sugarcult afterwards, was pretty cool! by Jomato_Soup (Sun 2nd Apr 2023 9:23am)

Loving this thread! Mine was Gig on the Green 2001. Alien Ant Farm were the first band on and they rocked. I was too stupid to pay attention to other bands playing such as The Cult and Queens of the Stone Age. But did see Papa Roach, Marlyn Mason and Eminem. I was 12. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 2nd Apr 2023 9:32am)

It’s their Christmas tree for me, one bauble. Very festive. Still go in for one before getting the train though. by Jomato_Soup (Sun 2nd Apr 2023 10:25am)

Cup at Renfield St, Blythswood Sq and Willow Tea Rooms have been some of my absolute favourites. Oh, Carlton George too! Stunning views. I always take my mum for her Christmas and we’ve tried a fair few now. by Jomato_Soup (Fri 19th May 2023 9:22pm)

I have the holy trinity of parkhead, robroyston and the fort all being close driving distance. All shite. I was in parkhead one the other day (needs must) and the wee woman on cleaning up giving the bams a row for not cleaning their table was gold. In general I think all McDonalds have gone downhill. by Jomato_Soup (Tue 30th May 2023 10:11pm)

GnR smashed it last night!! Managed to get parked, get food, stroll to the gig, decent view and sound, rain didn’t cause an issue and I drove home without being stuck in traffic. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 28th Jun 2023 9:29am)

I don’t know if the Cup on Renfield Street is wheelchair accessible but they also have one in Merchant City. by Jomato_Soup (Wed 28th Jun 2023 2:56pm)

Radisson Blu hotel does a nice afternoon tea and everything is on one level, including toilets. Carlton George hotel is another nice one with lovely views. It has lift access as it’s effectively a roof top bar. Someone else mentioned Willows which is also fantastic! by Jomato_Soup (Wed 28th Jun 2023 3:02pm)

We got it recently and it’s much better than BT ever was. by Jomato_Soup (Mon 10th Jul 2023 4:28pm)
