Thank you!! by OysterPuke (Tue 6th Aug 2019 1:24pm)

Thank you, I’ll be sure to check out the real deal :-) by OysterPuke (Tue 6th Aug 2019 1:24pm)

Thanks for the recommendations. We do have charity shops like BHF here too, can be very hit or miss but it’s exciting to find something worthwhile. I’ll check out the real deal and bunker for sure. Love the sounds of your upcycled sideboard! by OysterPuke (Tue 6th Aug 2019 1:23pm)

Thanks! I’ll walk down byres road and check out around hillhead. Cheers by OysterPuke (Tue 6th Aug 2019 7:35pm)

Thanks! I just moved to the area so I’ll definitely stop by the partick farmers market :-) by OysterPuke (Wed 21st Aug 2019 8:14am)

Thank you, I will try those places next! by OysterPuke (Wed 21st Aug 2019 2:56pm)

Got me a bag, thank you! by OysterPuke (Wed 21st Aug 2019 2:56pm)

Just got these at the market and they’re great! :) by OysterPuke (Mon 26th Aug 2019 9:07pm)

Ty! Will check out by OysterPuke (Mon 26th Aug 2019 9:06pm)

i lived in toronto and didn't see any reusable crisp bags...i definitely missed out! ;) by OysterPuke (Sun 6th Oct 2019 3:50pm)

some subs ban swearing and i didn't check the guidelines so let me correct myself....my fat ass likes munching big bags of greasy crisps by OysterPuke (Sun 6th Oct 2019 4:18pm)

cheers mate 0:-) by OysterPuke (Sun 6th Oct 2019 4:31pm)

so true...ever tried Doritos roulette? I think they were limited edition/specialty crisps. Packed quite a punch by OysterPuke (Sun 6th Oct 2019 11:20pm)

woah!!! Thanks for the lead by OysterPuke (Mon 7th Oct 2019 11:29pm)

Very creepy....maybe I’ll offer up my boyfriend to sus it out by OysterPuke (Fri 11th Oct 2019 9:45pm)

lol thanks for educating me/answering my question. also this is a sub with local people (it’s a Glaswegian sub for goodness sake !). it wasn’t a regular van, it was an ice cream truck..was just making a joke about it no need to be snappy by OysterPuke (Sat 12th Oct 2019 4:40pm)

Yes by OysterPuke (Fri 8th Nov 2019 11:49pm)

Thank you :) by OysterPuke (Sun 10th Nov 2019 9:08pm)

Thank ya! by OysterPuke (Sun 10th Nov 2019 9:08pm)

Thanks for your help. I will go into the office on my way to school tomorrow and see :) cheers by OysterPuke (Sun 10th Nov 2019 9:56pm)

Agreed. When I came back into Glasgow from holiday it was honestly cheaper for me to call an Uber than pay the bus fare by OysterPuke (Mon 10th Feb 2020 11:28pm)

Agreed. When I came back into Glasgow from holiday it was honestly cheaper for me to call an Uber than pay the bus fare by OysterPuke (Mon 10th Feb 2020 11:27pm)

Can confirm as someone who recently moved here...always have my phone map out on the bus. In my previous hometown each bus stop was announced so it’s been a lil learning curve by OysterPuke (Wed 12th Feb 2020 11:26pm)

Couldn’t agree more🤦🏼‍♀️ by OysterPuke (Sun 29th Mar 2020 12:49am)

Shredded chicken enchiladas and homemade salsa with tortilla chips...hey I got a lotta time on my hands 😎 by OysterPuke (Wed 15th Apr 2020 11:54pm)

Sonny and Vito’s in the woodlands has takeaway and they also sell cannolis/pastries and lots of Italian products! by OysterPuke (Fri 1st May 2020 1:51pm)

oh seriously! i went last week and it was still minimum £5 for card payment, otherwise cash unless it's changed since then. by OysterPuke (Fri 1st May 2020 3:41pm)

Can’t answer your question at all but hello fellow Canadian expat living in glasgow...always nice to see 👋 by OysterPuke (Tue 19th May 2020 8:46am)

Great idea, thanks! by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 8:40am)

Okay thx, I’ll call around today and check. Problem is, haven’t seen a dentist yet since I moved so I don’t have one but fingers crossed. by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 8:54am)

thanks for the advice, will do. hope your husband is feeling better! by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:49pm)

Thanks for the advice, you were absolutely right. stay safe! by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:48pm)

thanks for the insight :) Hope your girlfriend is feeling better! by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:53pm)

lucky us :) my last dentist said it'd be likely to get impacted, hope not. good luck with yours! by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:52pm)

Ah magic! Thanks for the recommendations, i'll stock up :) by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:51pm)

my last dentist told me id likely need them removed since they would move around my teeth when they come in by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:50pm)

Oh boy! hope you were given some good pain meds for that...i didn't realise that wisdom teeth are only taken out on that basis here so that's good to know. most people i know from Canada (where i'm from) have gotten theirs out like a routine procedure. by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 12:56pm)

i got a bottle of 10 yr old Arran whisky on deck! by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 1:08pm)

Wow! Who knew it was this hard to get a damn tooth removed 😅 I’m glad you finally got your mouth sorted and props for not taking any GA you’re crazy!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience and keep safe by OysterPuke (Wed 20th May 2020 7:15pm)

Magic - thanks! Will check it out by OysterPuke (Sun 28th Jun 2020 11:02am)

That sounds like a dream! The table I’ve been using is in the west end - a small park on hayburn crescent by OysterPuke (Sun 28th Jun 2020 11:57am)

Ooh that would be a lot of fun! Thanks by OysterPuke (Sun 28th Jun 2020 3:15pm)

Good pointer, ty! Will keep that in mind by OysterPuke (Sun 28th Jun 2020 5:42pm)

It's at hayburn park in hyndland! Are you closeby? by OysterPuke (Sun 28th Jun 2020 10:29pm)

That's lovely! I wrote this post on behalf of my partner (24m) and he's down for a game! PM me if you're interested :) by OysterPuke (Sun 28th Jun 2020 10:33pm)

Cool! I wrote this post for my partner (24m) so if you’re interested dm me and we can set it up by OysterPuke (Mon 29th Jun 2020 8:04am)

I live in yorkhill and duke’s and the brunch club are completely jumping!! People just standing around altogether, looks totally overbooked. Would advise against going to these two by OysterPuke (Sat 11th Jul 2020 1:13pm)

oh that sounds class! yeah the past few days it looks a bit more spaced out whenever I passed by by OysterPuke (Thu 16th Jul 2020 3:04pm)

You're not being overly cautious at all! After months of a lockdown and being super careful, it's so terrible that people are ruining this for the rest of us! It's hard to turn people down and I've been getting fomo lately but in the end I'd rather be safe than sorry. Hopefully the hype will die down soon and beer gardens/pubs will get a bit more spaced out (fingers crossed, maybe this is wishful thinking tho). Last night I went for a walk and passed the Sanctuary nightclub on Dumbarton rd which was absolutely mobbed...groups of people smoking on the side walk. Saw a couple people literally groping each other in broad daylight (8pm). Makes me sad that unis can't go back to in person classes but people can go out drinking :( by OysterPuke (Sun 19th Jul 2020 12:19pm)

Fab! Will definitely phone 101 next time. by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:06am)

great idea...Was actually thinking of ringing their buzzer to imitate techno beats by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:05am)

Great advice, thank you! I will definitely mention what you said. by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:11am)

It’s all that bass! by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:25am)

I’m not from Scotland/Glasgow and was just wondering if anyone had different suggestions to what I thought by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:34am)

Best suggestion yet by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 11:00am)

Wow, this is such a good idea! Thanks so much. by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 11:00am)

That’s so handy, thanks for the info. V helpful by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 11:27am)

Hey, a if lil petty revenge gets ya through the day it’s well worth it! by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 12:58pm)

Magic, ty! I’m gonna grass on her big time by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 12:57pm)

So brilliant....and she was never heard from again 😤 by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 12:56pm)

You’re a complete leg by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 12:55pm)

Hell yeah by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 12:54pm)

how creative with Lasting effects...love that! by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 1:11pm)

square up 😤 by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 1:11pm)

The block is bout 2 get hot by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 1:43pm)

Foolproof! by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 1:54pm)

you’re a mf pro by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 1:52pm)

I think she is the junkie 😢 by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 2:18pm)

Class answer....pure intimidation by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 3:02pm)

I can’t techno it!!! by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 3:50pm)

Good shout but She already smokes a tonnnn of weed and leaves her dime bags in the close 😂 would love to call the police on her and have them search the apartment..god knows what they’d find by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 5:36pm)

Thanks for the heads up! I will check out what her letting deal is and see. Hope your situation quiets down as well by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 5:35pm)

Thank you for your help. glad to hear they will wait 10 mins to see what happens. Have a nice evening :) by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 6:03pm)

I’m not sure if we have the same landlord, have to check by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 7:39pm)

holy jeez you’re a gift from god himself but I’m also so scared of what you’re capable of by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 7:41pm)

such a comprehensive list, can’t think of anything you missed. I hope you’re living your best life by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 8:00pm)

I’m gonna hire my tallest friend to come over ASAP by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:00pm)

Hell ya, u got the right idea by OysterPuke (Fri 31st Jul 2020 10:00pm)

aye aye by OysterPuke (Sat 1st Aug 2020 10:26am)

Sorry I’m from Canada and we call it a dime bag. It’s usually $10-15 for a gram! Def finding it more expensive in Glasgow by OysterPuke (Sat 1st Aug 2020 10:26am)

Thank you :) by OysterPuke (Sat 1st Aug 2020 11:29am)

Welcome :) I’m also doing a postgraduate course, moved here last August. Let me know if you need anything! by OysterPuke (Fri 14th Aug 2020 4:56pm)

Interested! Moved to Glasgow last summer and am doing my masters atm. Sounds like a fab idea by OysterPuke (Wed 19th Aug 2020 11:44am)

yes! which part of town are you thinking? by OysterPuke (Wed 19th Aug 2020 2:38pm)

I love google earth road trips...dropping a random pin somewhere and going thru the whole town...then googling rent prices and then closing my laptop. A girl can dream by OysterPuke (Tue 3rd Nov 2020 7:23pm)

what about if there are a few marks on some of the walls from previous tenants? by OysterPuke (Thu 28th Jan 2021 12:31pm)

Thanks so much for the resources I’ll give them a look. The flat really suits me so I can live with the paint and don’t mind doing it myself. Cheers by OysterPuke (Thu 28th Jan 2021 2:39pm)

Great suggestion. I’ll look into that..get the good old Pinterest going by OysterPuke (Thu 28th Jan 2021 2:40pm)

It absolutely does. I’m asking a question about painting protocols in Glasgow. I don’t mind getting it painted on my own accord. Where I’m from the landlord paints after tenants move out. by OysterPuke (Sun 31st Jan 2021 10:29am)

Omg to die for! They are the perfect amount of fudgy and not too cakey ratio by OysterPuke (Thu 18th Mar 2021 11:06pm)

Get to fuck man by OysterPuke (Mon 19th Apr 2021 7:18pm)

I actually cant believe its bishopbriggs by OysterPuke (Tue 18th May 2021 2:05pm)

🤣 by OysterPuke (Thu 20th May 2021 11:51am)

Thanks for sharing your experience, I felt the same. I was looking forward to going there but she store my hair like a southern belle x mushroom cut and it took a super long time. I don’t have very curly hair though so can’t comment on how they are in that regard. I will say that both owners are very nice though in my experience by OysterPuke (Sat 22nd May 2021 1:36am)

There's a location next to Mr Ben's by OysterPuke (Sun 11th Jul 2021 2:11pm)

Me too. I was trying to fall asleep and it sounded alarmed by it. I couldn’t figure out where the noise was coming from. by OysterPuke (Fri 23rd Jul 2021 8:14am)

Noise isn’t that simple. I did and I couldn’t see where it was coming from by OysterPuke (Fri 23rd Jul 2021 8:15am)

Agreed! Sorry but compared to authentic Texan bbq processes the dennistoun one is a shame :( by OysterPuke (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 8:16am)

Gatekeeping by OysterPuke (Wed 29th Sep 2021 11:47pm)

Mark’s and Spencer’s sauciehall st by OysterPuke (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:31am)

Gatekeeping his shite spot from us by OysterPuke (Tue 12th Oct 2021 12:08am)

As someone who moved here from canada - we would only do fireworks on holidays. I agree with you that I hear people doing them off and on almost every evening. It seems to be more of a recreational hobby here? I really don’t understand the appeal, it’s dangerous, causes damage, and like you said, scares pets - overall an annoyance. by OysterPuke (Sun 31st Oct 2021 10:07pm)

I went to ace and Tate and am happy with mine. They give you a free appt with the optometrist first too to figure out your prescription. by OysterPuke (Thu 2nd Dec 2021 11:08pm)

I went in the other day and there was literally nothing in the freezer sections! I usually go to imart on Crow Rd or the one in finnieston (next to iolla on argyle street). They both have great selections of different sauces and dumplings. by OysterPuke (Sat 4th Dec 2021 12:37pm)

I just watched this film yesterday for the first time! Awesome soundtrack. Nice to see it mentioned here. by OysterPuke (Mon 13th Dec 2021 5:38pm)

These are all great recommendations however I am always never impressed by elenas. In my experience, it has been overpriced and oily. by OysterPuke (Sun 23rd Jan 2022 4:57pm)

I’m late but have you seen the Facebook page south nitshill lovers? Although I wasn’t raised in Glasgow I work here now and stumbled upon the page. It looks like a tight knit group/community of people who grew up there. It’s interesting to see you’re honest experience vs some of the comments in the group saying it was a brilliant place to live around that time. They also commemorate a lot of people who have passed and many were very young. by OysterPuke (Tue 1st Feb 2022 10:42pm)

It has the same food as before, just a refurbishment and reorganization (thank goodness because it was so dark and hard to find anything before) by OysterPuke (Sun 27th Feb 2022 10:51pm)

The subway shutting time is shocking. Especially on a Sunday! by OysterPuke (Sun 29th May 2022 12:39am)

Really?? I’ve been to La Lanterna city centre and the Cacio e Pepe had a cream sauce instead of how it’s traditionally made by OysterPuke (Sun 12th Jun 2022 9:16am)

I know, but this one was made with cream and the pasta was soggy by OysterPuke (Sun 12th Jun 2022 1:30pm)

Respectfully why would an international student moving to glasgow want to live out in Hamilton lol? Also presuming they may not have access to a car. by OysterPuke (Mon 11th Jul 2022 6:49pm)

Hey! I was an international student and live/work in Glasgow now. I went to strathclyde so around where Cali is. I never lived in a student accommodation but I would recommend you look for some in the west end. That’s where I’ve always stayed and it’s extremely convenient with bus and subway, you can get to uni under 30 mins for sure. There seem to be a lot of accommodations around here now and the west end is a chill place to live with lots to do by OysterPuke (Mon 11th Jul 2022 6:52pm)

Agree with this! Kelvin pocket has some lovely baked goods too by OysterPuke (Sat 20th Aug 2022 7:39pm)

I went there the other day and got a nice iced coffee. The sandwiches look delish too by OysterPuke (Sat 20th Aug 2022 7:40pm)

The lochs is a little grim by OysterPuke (Tue 6th Sep 2022 10:44pm)

me too…but i can’t argue with the prices of filled rolls from food fayre! by OysterPuke (Wed 7th Sep 2022 9:41pm)

Did you end up ordering a munchie box? I'm in the west end as well and curious what's good by OysterPuke (Tue 18th Oct 2022 7:45pm)
