Cambuslang park is an absolute hidden gem. Absolutely superb park by Mickosthedickos (Sun 1st May 2022 10:21am)

Were there any pubs that weren't strongly supporting Madrid? by Mickosthedickos (Thu 5th May 2022 2:52pm)

As always, for any of these questions, the answer is probably walkabout. Although I haven't been there in a 15 years by Mickosthedickos (Sun 8th May 2022 2:31pm)

All the pubs will be showing that game tonight. You'll only run into bother if Celtic or rangers are playing. Southside is a pretty big place, so you'll need to be a bit more specific. But any pub that shows the football will be showing that game by Mickosthedickos (Thu 12th May 2022 1:20pm)

Kings Park Hotel has a pub on the side of it by Mickosthedickos (Wed 18th May 2022 1:09pm)

The litter. Gives me something to moan about on the internet by Mickosthedickos (Sun 29th May 2022 9:28am)

Guy at Central telt me it was opening on Monday. I'll believe it when I see it though by Mickosthedickos (Fri 3rd Jun 2022 12:00pm)

That mash, egg and mushy thing the Spanish butcher does is fuuuuuuuucking amazing by Mickosthedickos (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 11:09am)

Nah. It's mashed potatoes with mushrooms and a poached egg. It's probably about 75% butter by Mickosthedickos (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 11:20am)

EK is fine. I wouldn't mind living there. But then again I'm a 39 year old dad that works mostly from home. Wouldn't fancy it if I was a young student like yourself by Mickosthedickos (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 3:33pm)

Nah. I've been old for fucking ages by Mickosthedickos (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 7:54pm)

Ma wife is Spanish so is a bit picky with olive oils. We buy basic stuff for cooking from the supermarket, but the nice stuff for salads from TK Maxx. They've got a decent selection of random olive oils by Mickosthedickos (Wed 31st Aug 2022 7:47pm)

Rutherglen isnt really that much farther afield. The train from rutherglen takes ten minutes into town, 15 into the westend. Rutherglen is sound enough, main street is a bit grim mind you by Mickosthedickos (Wed 7th Sep 2022 7:35pm)

Belt down to your local supermarket, they will usually give you some by Mickosthedickos (Wed 7th Sep 2022 8:21pm)

Nice neck of the woods. My sister used to live just round the corner and my cousin does as well. Nice big houses all around. Ruggy is a bit of a place of two halves. Main Street and around it are a bit rough, but a wee bit up stonelaw road/mill Street and it's sound. Overtoun park is just round the corner as well, and it's a cracking wee park. by Mickosthedickos (Tue 4th Oct 2022 2:53pm)

https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/20598601.revealed-number-drivers-caught-speeding-temporary-cameras-glasgows-m8/ Reckon you might be fucked by Mickosthedickos (Wed 19th Oct 2022 5:29pm)

Should be ok. Make sure you don't do when a celtic game is on, i've made that mistake before by Mickosthedickos (Fri 21st Oct 2022 8:16pm)

Have you tried phoning the lost property office? by Mickosthedickos (Sat 22nd Oct 2022 9:36am)

None here down near the king park hotel by Mickosthedickos (Mon 24th Oct 2022 7:36pm)

It's fine. Don't worry about it. Occasionally things are cancelled but pretty rare by Mickosthedickos (Wed 16th Nov 2022 9:33am)

Yes by Mickosthedickos (Tue 22nd Nov 2022 3:09pm)

Maybe something to do with the work they are doing up Cunigar Loop? by Mickosthedickos (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 9:02pm)

Shame the bams have torn most of them down by Mickosthedickos (Mon 5th Dec 2022 6:46pm)

Cherry and heather fine foods next to the post office sell the greatest sandwiches by Mickosthedickos (Tue 28th Mar 2023 3:32pm)

"Profiteering" Doing literally anything other than having allotments would make them more money by Mickosthedickos (Sun 2nd Apr 2023 12:41pm)

Yes. lots of them. Blairhill and drumpellier are the nice bits by Mickosthedickos (Fri 7th Apr 2023 7:52pm)

Seconding Rutherglen. Park on top of the arcade and cart stuff down to shelter. If you ask nicely they might let you drive straight up to their back door. Lots of charity shops have limits on the amount of stuff you can give them these days though, but there's at least 5 or 6 on or near ruggy main street. by Mickosthedickos (Sat 8th Apr 2023 12:55pm)

I stopped ordering the (very expensive) weekly veg box after the fourth fucking turnip in a row. by Mickosthedickos (Sun 9th Apr 2023 9:02am)

Fuck up miseryguts by Mickosthedickos (Sun 9th Apr 2023 2:48pm)

You've got things entirely backwards im afraid. A) How will forcing landlords out of the rental market through taxation make prices fall. It will just make them either move out of the rental market, constraining supply and pushing prices up, and those that stay in the market will pass on taxes to tenants, pushing prices up. B) It isn't the construction of expensive houses that pushes prices up, it is the overall low level of construction of all houses that pushes all houses up. There's a reason why a 1 bedroom in woodlands road is double the price of a 1 bed in rutherglen. Higher demand. If we increase the supply of houses in areas of high demand (e.g. £1m flats in partick) that will help to push down prices. Honestly don't understand how you can think that building less houses will lead to lower prices by Mickosthedickos (Wed 26th Apr 2023 8:56pm)

Maybe to a certain extent, but owner occupation and renting or not purely substitutable goods. Many people want to rent, not buy, particularly in a place like the west end where you have large student and transient migrant populations. by Mickosthedickos (Thu 27th Apr 2023 8:21am)

I mean.....of course people would rather live in social housing that private rent. Its the same thing but massively cheaper. Yep, right enough there are lots of people who can't afford the deposit and need to rent. This is again a function of rising prices do to insufficient levels of house building. And yes, we could build lots more social housing to house everyone. But what is the function of social housing? People moving to the westend are hardly paupers. Why should the state be subsidising their housing costs? by Mickosthedickos (Thu 27th Apr 2023 8:49am)

C'mon man. Social housing most definitely is subsidised. RSL's receive on average a £70k grant per house built. [https://www.wheatley-group.com/\_\_data/assets/pdf\_file/0025/47581/English-and-Scottish-social-housing-update.pdf](https://www.wheatley-group.com/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/47581/English-and-Scottish-social-housing-update.pdf) I totally disagree that it is the concept of private rent that is distorting costs. Housing is pretty competitive market (outside of RSLs obviously) and rents rise and fall based on supply and demand. This is fairly obvious when you compare house prices in the west end and East Ren to comparable properties in the east end/south side. The main issue is a lack of supply. You can see this on steroids in the south east of England. We are simply not building enough housing of all types which is pushing up prices. by Mickosthedickos (Thu 27th Apr 2023 9:17am)

Sounds like maybe the Eastern Necropolis on Gallowgate next to the Forge based on you saying it was east something. Could also be the Southern Necropolis in the Gorbals by Mickosthedickos (Thu 27th Apr 2023 11:07am)

How is the presence of private landlords restricting supply? A house is a house - only one household can live in a house. I mean, if anything the presence of private landlords increases supply as they provide house shares and split existing properties into multiple properties, etc. The presence of private landlords has no bearing on private or public sector developers from constructing new houses. by Mickosthedickos (Thu 27th Apr 2023 11:24am)

Aye, I'll probably head out to the showcase at Coatbridge by Mickosthedickos (Fri 5th May 2023 4:30pm)

Any supermarket by Mickosthedickos (Tue 9th May 2023 7:45pm)

Was in there last week. Good selection of dried chillies, but no fresh ones by Mickosthedickos (Tue 16th May 2023 10:21am)

You think orange walks should be banned for animal cruelty?? Fuck me that's a weird take. Seeing a bunch of racist cunts walking down the street on their racist march and worrying about dugs. Also, sounds like yer dug is a shitebag by Mickosthedickos (Sun 21st May 2023 3:37pm)

More westend really, but Mother India is fantastic by Mickosthedickos (Tue 23rd May 2023 11:10am)

A men's shed could be an option for you https://scottishmsa.org.uk/find-a-shed/ by Mickosthedickos (Thu 25th May 2023 11:46am)

What would be wrong with that? by Mickosthedickos (Fri 26th May 2023 1:05pm)

What kinda weirdo wants to live in the town? by Mickosthedickos (Fri 26th May 2023 6:33pm)

GOMA They've got a wee play area on the first or second floor tucked away in a corner. Kept my five year old entertained for about an hour a coupla weeks ago by Mickosthedickos (Sat 27th May 2023 11:54pm)

The fuck is a cleg? by Mickosthedickos (Sat 17th Jun 2023 12:47pm)

Aye, i keep lagers out the back in the winter. Coupla bams nicked them on year though by Mickosthedickos (Mon 19th Jun 2023 9:38am)

Ach, it was ten Stella's, wisane a big deal by Mickosthedickos (Mon 19th Jun 2023 10:55am)

Mind I went in there years ago. My brother didnae want tea so asked if they had any ginger. Cunt came back with a bit of root ginger by Mickosthedickos (Tue 20th Jun 2023 5:17pm)

If you wait a month or two you cannae move without seeing blackberries by Mickosthedickos (Sun 25th Jun 2023 11:39pm)

Haha. Mental post off the day. Top notch by Mickosthedickos (Sun 2nd Jul 2023 8:53pm)

What facts are you presenting? Seems like an opinion post to me by Mickosthedickos (Sun 2nd Jul 2023 9:17pm)

Mental. Want to dispose of yer rubbish responsibly - geez money. Dump it on the streets - we will pick it up straight away! by Mickosthedickos (Tue 4th Jul 2023 10:25am)

Elitist prick by Mickosthedickos (Thu 6th Jul 2023 3:06pm)

Wetherspoons is fine by Mickosthedickos (Thu 6th Jul 2023 3:09pm)

I've being trying to find it for years with no luck. Don't have it in Lupe pinto's. by Mickosthedickos (Fri 7th Jul 2023 11:24am)

Cherry & Heather fine foods in Cessnock is amazing. Just across the road from the underground by Mickosthedickos (Fri 7th Jul 2023 12:53pm)

I generally just use feta. Kenji says to use it, so that's good enough for me. Always wanted to try making tamales as well, but fuck know where you would get corn husks by Mickosthedickos (Fri 7th Jul 2023 2:43pm)

Just realised you are asking about street corn. I make it aw the time. It's great stuff. I use feta, but I do find it clumps after you make the first couple. I tend to make it as a salad. Cut the corn off the cob and fry it in a pan, then mix it aw together by Mickosthedickos (Fri 7th Jul 2023 2:57pm)

Would be easier if you said where you were wanting to park. There's plenty of spaces outside my house, but I doubt that would work for you by Mickosthedickos (Sat 8th Jul 2023 12:24pm)

Parking around Hampden is a nightmare on match days, so presumably it is with concerts as well. I would maybe just park further out, somewhere like kings park avenue. It park at a train station on the mount Florida line by Mickosthedickos (Tue 18th Jul 2023 9:36am)

Pies out of Greggs are decent by Mickosthedickos (Mon 24th Jul 2023 3:29pm)

Loads of places are open after midnight. Can't think of a single pub that closes at 11. Usual time is 12. If your into chaos, best place is bottom end of Sauchiehall street near charing cross by Mickosthedickos (Thu 27th Jul 2023 11:25am)

Kings park is full of them. Still maybe a week or two out for proper picking though by Mickosthedickos (Sun 30th Jul 2023 9:33am)

If your going to share research reports with the general public please try and write it in plain English. I have a read of the summary report and I have no idea what you did and what the results are by Mickosthedickos (Sun 30th Jul 2023 10:00am)

Of course.its their problem. They are sharing it on a public platform by Mickosthedickos (Sun 30th Jul 2023 3:30pm)

This isn't the greatest analogy. I ain't going anywhere, he's coming here. If some cunt comes into this sub and writes in chinese noone is gonna understand him. It ain't me going to china demanding everyone speak english by Mickosthedickos (Sun 30th Jul 2023 3:50pm)

Is it fuck by Mickosthedickos (Tue 1st Aug 2023 9:14am)

I've worked in anderston for the last ten years. Never heard one solitary cunt call it anderson by Mickosthedickos (Tue 1st Aug 2023 7:47pm)

Drop her off at a train station that will get her into central. Best one will depend where yer coming from. by Mickosthedickos (Wed 2nd Aug 2023 1:17pm)

First train from ruggie into town on Saturday is 6:14 by Mickosthedickos (Wed 2nd Aug 2023 1:33pm)

Get in touch with the Polis [https://www.scotland.police.uk/contact-us/report-lost-property/](https://www.scotland.police.uk/contact-us/report-lost-property/) Otherwise contact places where you think you might have dropped it by Mickosthedickos (Mon 7th Aug 2023 11:13am)

Who assumes that??? If you donate clothes to a charity shop you can literally see them selling clothes there. Clothes are dirt cheap, so still a good option to support poor folk by Mickosthedickos (Tue 8th Aug 2023 11:38am)

Quality! by Mickosthedickos (Thu 10th Aug 2023 8:44am)

Rutherglen is probably your best bet, very near a motorway junction and tons of parking by Mickosthedickos (Sun 13th Aug 2023 12:28pm)

Rutherglen or cambuslang are good. Ten minute train into town. Calls at argyle st and central by Mickosthedickos (Sun 13th Aug 2023 12:25pm)

Guising only in certain places to be fair. I never even heard the word guising till i was in my 30s i think. We used to call it going out for Halloween. This was in Coatbridge. Anyway. Kids go out dressed up and chap on peoples doors and they give them sweeties. by Mickosthedickos (Thu 17th Aug 2023 11:54am)

Maybe try making waves up in east Kilbride. Its a lessons only swimming pool for kids. I've been taking ma five year old there for the past few weeks, but I've seen parent in their with their baby's. The place is fucking BOILING. We are sitting beside the pool and you have to go in there with shorts and t-shirt. by Mickosthedickos (Thu 17th Aug 2023 4:33pm)

Dunno about your experience. But as far as I am aware the owner is a women. She seems nice enough by Mickosthedickos (Thu 17th Aug 2023 7:31pm)

Facebook marketplace seems to be the go to place for folk selling stuff these days by Mickosthedickos (Mon 21st Aug 2023 9:36am)

Think you might be fucked. From a few years ago: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/average-speed-cameras-cost-drivers-6708388.amp by Mickosthedickos (Tue 22nd Aug 2023 8:33am)

TK Maxx is decent. Lots of choice and reasonable prices by Mickosthedickos (Wed 30th Aug 2023 11:14am)

Aye, all the casinos do them. I went once at the riverside. Rapidly realised that what I liked about poker was sitting round a table getting pished wi ma pals. Wasnae quite the same with a bunch of strangers by Mickosthedickos (Sat 2nd Sep 2023 8:11pm)

This is the maddest thing i've read all day. As if europe is some monolithic blob instead of a huge variety of different countries with different local governmental systems. And Europe has political parties you know. And people vote for political parties in elections. Fucking absurd by Mickosthedickos (Fri 8th Sep 2023 2:02pm)

Preeerrrach. The fact that east ren, bishopbriggs, rutherglen and cambuslang aren't part of Glasgow is ludicrous. Gets a bit fuzzier as you go west mind you. Is Clydebank part of Glasgow? Dunno. I think one of the major consequences of this is it paints Glasgow as much poorer and more deprived than it is in reality. If you cut out the most affluent areas of any city it's going to look worse. by Mickosthedickos (Sat 9th Sep 2023 10:44am)

Yeah, it's not in Glasgow now. But looking north, east and south, the natural boundaries are obvious. Looking west it isn't too clear. It a clearly contiguous urban are out beyond Clydebank north of the river and paisley south of the river. But are these Glasgow? Dunno by Mickosthedickos (Sat 9th Sep 2023 12:51pm)

Tennents bar was my go to when I lived out that way by Mickosthedickos (Tue 12th Sep 2023 11:41am)

Aye. Do this. train takes about ten minutes, then it's about a 15 minute walk. Bus is just a faff by Mickosthedickos (Wed 20th Sep 2023 10:58am)

Botanics to Kelvingrove via the river is a good one during daylight hours by Mickosthedickos (Thu 21st Sep 2023 10:41am)

Molly Malone's in the town is a bit of a trek if I recall correctly by Mickosthedickos (Fri 22nd Sep 2023 1:50pm)

Get tae fuck with that shite?? Get tae fuck with this shite. Who gives a fuck if you folk call it juice or not by Mickosthedickos (Wed 27th Sep 2023 2:26pm)

I am 100% sure zero people said that to you by Mickosthedickos (Wed 27th Sep 2023 3:09pm)

Ah yes. I too think we should offer support the the guys that just massacred and raped close to 1,000 people by Mickosthedickos (Mon 9th Oct 2023 10:38am)

Good luck with this one pal. This topic has sent everyone round the bend by Mickosthedickos (Thu 12th Oct 2023 6:47pm)

Amazing. Nae cunt has said walkabout yet. Walkabout! No idea if the place still exists, but still by Mickosthedickos (Wed 18th Oct 2023 7:34pm)
