  • Sounds like a guerilla campaign lol by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 19th Nov 2021 10:48am)
  • I predict there will just be businesses that rent out meeting spaces, while everyone who can will work from home. Otherwise it'll just all go online meetings by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 21st Nov 2021 11:39am)
  • What do you not understand about "offers over"? Lower offers won't even be looked at. Also right now is a seller's market, it's very easy to sell a house above the valuation right now by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 11:28am)
  • In what would do you think house prices in Glasgow are affordable? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 11:27am)
  • You're one of the very lucky few who can A afford that house and B be able to afford to do it up in a reasonable time frame by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 11:27am)
  • Also having to fork out the extra money above the valuation your self is a joke. House is valued 150k and offers over? Yeah you'll only get a mortgage for the 150k so expect an extra 10 or 20k ontop if the deposit. And this isn't a problem in England and Wales, only Scotland by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 11:25am)
  • When would you ever need transport police when it's not an emergency? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 11:35am)
  • It absolutely isn't. And even if it is it's because the houses are shit in comparison by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 2:47pm)
  • Then 999 is best by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 2:47pm)
  • so basically what youre saying is if you have an emergency on a train youre shit out of luck unless you remember some other dumb number compared to the one everyone knows? ridiculous by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 5:02pm)
  • Apparently 999 does do texts. Either way if you're in desperate need of assistance it's usually going to be an ambulance, otherwise it doesn't particularly matter if there's a small delay. I can't imagine a situation where you'd need the police asap but able to get your phone out and phone them by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 6:52pm)
  • 999 accesses the btp with zero added latency. No need to phone them direct. It's heated because you were being sarcy about something you didn't know anything about and telling me I was wrong when I was right by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 26th Nov 2021 7:51pm)
  • Good to know that I should have had a kid last year to get any support from the government... by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 30th Nov 2021 12:10am)
  • Because votes by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 30th Nov 2021 9:03am)
  • Not moaning about that. I'm pissed off because other people need help too, and only having a crotch goblin isn't a good enough reason for only them to be getting help, most of the time it's a two income household too by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 30th Nov 2021 9:02am)
  • It's all UC now and we all know how shit that is, people on UC need help to begin with because it's that bad by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 30th Nov 2021 10:04am)
  • They're transitioning away from jsa at least. All new applicants go on UC by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 30th Nov 2021 12:04pm)
  • Who upvoted this?...it reads like it's just made up, and is vague as fuck by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 3rd Dec 2021 6:02pm)
  • Posts like this are really annoying. Literally doesn't say anything about what happened by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 3rd Dec 2021 6:01pm)
  • I don't give a shit about that. Just the fact this was a pointless made up post by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 4th Dec 2021 12:33am)
  • Anyway* and he shouldn't have posted this made up nonsense then by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 4th Dec 2021 12:31am)
  • Just a name for the station so you can say just go to elderberry by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 4th Dec 2021 1:29am)
  • DELETED Your mother is a hamster... by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 4th Dec 2021 1:30am)
  • A bank card or DL? If it's a DL you can just put it in a post box. If it's a bank card then if you don't get an answer you'd be better off just cutting it up I'd say because she'll just cancel it by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 4th Dec 2021 12:23pm)
  • whats the point? shell cancel the card and then get a new one anyway by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 4th Dec 2021 2:47pm)
  • Why are you being downvoted? You're right, they're fucking selfish scum by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 5th Dec 2021 12:53am)
  • Yeah so great raising awareness for something everyone knows, the government won't do anything about it because of them, and so they block roads making people hate them and ambulances etc not able to get through. Fuck them and fuck their cause by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 5th Dec 2021 12:55am)
  • Fuck them for being utter scum. Everyone who supports them are just as bad too by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 5th Dec 2021 11:12am)
  • That's a dumb sized cycle path. With the amount of traffic in Glasgow that should be another lane with a small bit for cyclists by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 9:39pm)
  • Not like they pay road tax when cyclists don't or anything... by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 9:41pm)
  • Not when there's a cycle lane. I'm not leaving tonnes of space when they have a cycle lane or better yet a path right there with no one on it by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 10:04pm)
  • So 90% of the cars on the road. People who drice have to pay tax to drive, the name is completely irrelevant and so is where the money goes. Anyway.... by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 10:06pm)
  • What were tax discs for then? They just got rid of the disc because it wasn't needed anymore. Either way drivers pay tax to be on the road, the name is irrelevant by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 10:05pm)
  • Cycle lanes don't need to be this massive period... It's Glasgow not some Asian city where there's swarms of cyclists by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 10:10pm)
  • Jfc why do I have to explain this. How many cars emit carbon? Most of them? Yeah so that's not a point. They have to pay the tax because they're driving on the road? Yeah that money goes to road maintenance do you think the money magics out of thin air? Or that cyclists pay it? Think before you insult because you just look like a fool by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 10:38pm)
  • Which are a very small fraction of the cars on the road. Where do you think the money to maintain roads cones from? In part from drivers, cyclists dont by MaverickMeerkatUK (Mon 6th Dec 2021 10:40pm)
  • Great more fuckin traffic by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 8th Dec 2021 7:37pm)
  • *doesn't want a shit road system even more shit. There fixed that for you by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 8th Dec 2021 9:28pm)
  • So I guess you haven't sat in the M8 on your way home because of traffic then? Do you even drive you tit? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 8th Dec 2021 9:27pm)
  • And do you know why I called you a tit? Because you don't see the point I'm making because you don't want to by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 8th Dec 2021 10:34pm)
  • We need investment in infrastructure first. Cop20 was a fucking nightmare because Glasgow was in no way a good city to host it. If the delusions about independence are true and Scotland does in fact have all this income, then the snp should fucking prove it and invest more in local infrastructure by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 8th Dec 2021 10:38pm)
  • That's a UK wide thing, road works never bloody end by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 8th Dec 2021 10:34pm)
  • No. by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 9th Dec 2021 7:28am)
  • I exist, I have to use a car due to where I live. It's either an hour commute or way more by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 9th Dec 2021 7:25am)
  • I don't care about cyclists as a whole one way or the other. I hate poor city planning with zero thought put into it though by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 9th Dec 2021 8:04pm)
  • I'm not annoyed at traffic you idiot. I'm annoyed and dumb city planning by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 9th Dec 2021 8:05pm)
  • Disgusting is the term I'd use. Can't imagine downing other people's spit by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 10th Dec 2021 12:15am)
  • Backwash. Everyone who drinks has saliva in their drinks after they take a sip by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 10th Dec 2021 9:37am)
  • Thanks for the laugh lol by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 12th Dec 2021 10:11pm)
  • Tbh you'd only really need a line going out to towns like kirkintilloch and bishopbriggs and link them to the center. It'd be so much more useful instead of being completely and utterly useless by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 14th Dec 2021 11:48pm)
  • Does anyone even use it though? It goes to a handful of stations, of which no one ever really needs to go to. I can only see using the underground in Glasgow if you live near a station and work near one. It needs extending to be of any use by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 14th Dec 2021 11:45pm)
  • Funicular is pretty cool engineering wise by MaverickMeerkatUK (Tue 14th Dec 2021 11:52pm)
  • Compared to 2million in London. 35k is nothing for a big city by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 15th Dec 2021 1:18am)

  • I'm wish I was you if that makes the worst year if your life by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 1st Jan 2022 1:56am)
  • Deal by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 1st Jan 2022 2:19am)
  • No real point just another arguement if I tried so *shrug* she knows how I fell, so it's up to her if the relationship has much left. I'm not even sad if it ends anymore by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 1st Jan 2022 4:04pm)
  • Are you brain damaged by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 5th Jan 2022 6:17pm)
  • Probably not because I'm not the one making inappropriate jokes on a post about a missing person, like a moron. Read the room by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 6th Jan 2022 12:23am)
  • Drugs and therapy by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 6th Jan 2022 8:29pm)
  • If this was the other day then I probably saw you fly overhead lol by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 8th Jan 2022 12:41pm)

  • Usually drug dealers killing drug dealers by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 15th Jan 2022 1:48am)
  • i live in glasgow and had no idea this website existed. reasons i love reddit by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 15th Jan 2022 12:41pm)
  • if money is an issue then you could see what your employer can do about a pay advance. otherwise the link a guy posted above is your best bet, you wont be getting a place from a landlord or your own flat, because its difficult for people living here already let alone someone who doesnt live here. a landlord will always prefer someone who lives in glasgow by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 15th Jan 2022 12:41pm)
  • You'll struggle even with all that to get a landlord. Not impossible but you're fighting with a disadvantage against a lot of people who already live here. Look elsewhere in Scotland with rail links because you might have better luck outside of the city Edit: being a temporary worker puts you at a massive disadvantage too by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 15th Jan 2022 3:21pm)
  • What's a taig? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Wed 19th Jan 2022 8:09pm)
  • Highly doubt they're going to invade the Ukraine. It'd be a massive incident if they did and cause more of a headache for them. Either way this f15 was going south, the Russians come from the North by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 20th Jan 2022 10:58pm)
  • Doubt it. They pull this shit all the time by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 20th Jan 2022 10:55pm)

  • Fuck off I don't care by MaverickMeerkatUK (Thu 20th Jan 2022 11:25pm)
  • A largely bloodless take over of a peninsula of majority ethnic Russians who want to be a part of Russia. Such a criminal act... by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 21st Jan 2022 8:49am)
  • Exactly. Russia doesn't give a fuck about putting other countries on edge. It's not impossible they're going to invade, but I really doubt it because they have nothing to gain from it by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 21st Jan 2022 8:47am)
  • Source? And I doubt Russia would be dumb enough to do that and them invade by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 21st Jan 2022 8:53am)
  • exactly, r/scotland is even worse for jacking off the snp. cant stand the snp and cant stand people who blindly support them by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 21st Jan 2022 9:34am)
  • so russia has build up of forces on a border with an active war zone and little law enforcement. a f15 goes south on a routine flight (routine because the americans are ass holes and go fast and low over populated areas a lot) and you think somethings happening? yeah right, if that f15 was moving east it would have done aar and not stop off in cambridge and not take off soon after refueling. nonesense, russia isnt going to invade the ukraine and if they do theyre doing it in a stupid way by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 21st Jan 2022 9:33am)
  • russia loves to show force all the time. thats all this is. also "This article was submitted by John. John is a student at the University of South Carolina studying political science." id take that article with a pinch of salt by MaverickMeerkatUK (Fri 21st Jan 2022 9:35am)

  • You're looking for people of a specific sexuality. It's fucking creepy by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 14th May 2022 10:14am)
  • Then say something like "Any place for LGBT people to meet?" instead of "Any bisexuals want a friend?" by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 14th May 2022 11:49am)

  • Thanks for the offer. I'll bare it in mind when I find a place by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 10:30am)
  • So I'd only really need a bed and a way to cook food. I assume places would come with an oven, and I'd have the buy a bed my self I'm guessing? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 10:30am)
  • Well they have no access to anything. The problem is they own the house so I need a place sorted before anything happens, and it needs to be a place that accommodates my work from home job which is the kicker by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 11:10am)
  • Thank you by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 12:39pm)

  • Do you know of any agents worth checking out? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 12:40pm)
  • Is Rightmove the place to look on? Or is there a better way to look? My thinking is just to look on there an ring up places that look decent enough and say I don't need to have a viewing. How long do you think it would take from ringing up to getting a place? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 12:40pm)

  • Problem is they own the house by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 7:21pm)
  • so basically 600-800, plus £100 for gass/elec, £50 for internet and £150 or so for groceries a month. so roughly £900 ish a month. I could swing that. Packing unfortunately would be very obvious, I could do it within half a day though by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sat 18th Jun 2022 9:25pm)

  • Why shouldn't I pay that much? by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 19th Jun 2022 11:44am)
  • I really don't have the money for a hotel while finding a place to stay. I'd just end up running out of money. My work wouldn't wait around until the council or a private landlord sets me up either. I work from home as a cs agent. I'm going to be phoning Shelter later today, and 101 for my rights. As well as the council just to see what they can do for me asap by MaverickMeerkatUK (Sun 19th Jun 2022 12:41pm)
