  • I'm probably gonna get down voted for this but what's the appeal of the bags? Seems like the standard for young folk on byres road. Not cheap either. *I'm over forty so I'm not terribly clued up about fashion trends. by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 12th Nov 2020 6:17pm)

  • Is that student flats where the plaza used to be? Not been South of the river in years. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 15th Nov 2020 5:25pm)
  • The worst offenders for not wearing masks are young men/boys. They swagger onto the train with an attitude of I don't give a fuck, I think it's a masculinity thing. Had to restrain myself on many occasions. Hopefully less of the wee bastards out and about next week. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 17th Nov 2020 6:28pm)
  • I'm unfortunately having to go to the town today. Expecting the chin masks out en masse hoarding tinsel and abusing shop staff. No doubt I'll be raging at the maskless on the train by the time I get there. Sigh by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 19th Nov 2020 1:27pm)

  • The front of the building is much nicer in my opinion. Nice drawing though. by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 19th Nov 2020 5:01pm)
  • There's an eviction ban? My neighbours were evicted last month for anti social behaviour. I'm guessing this ban only covers rent arrears? by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 19th Nov 2020 9:50pm)

  • Just seen a guy laying at the argyle Street entrance, trousers at his ankles covered in shite and pish. Had a look for a cop but obviously none in sight, even chapped the door of BTP no answer. The place is well and truly fucked. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 22nd Nov 2020 6:04pm)
  • Whit? by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 3rd Dec 2020 10:23am)
  • You enjoyed that, did you? Most decent minded folk probably found it quite uncomfortable. You're a fucking spaz. by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 3rd Dec 2020 10:07am)

  • Working in Edinburgh today. Probably the most exciting thing I've done all year. by SkidMarx1917 (Mon 21st Dec 2020 8:59am)
  • They were still about last Christmas giving away selection boxes with the paper. The stall things are still stored behind the police station in Central station. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 1:56pm)

  • How do you know he stole it? by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 5:27pm)
  • 1, why didn't you stop him. 2, why didn't you mention this in the op and 3, if he stole the bike, how did he sprint away? Did he sprint away then return later for the bike? by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 7:18pm)
  • Merry Christmas by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 7:31pm)
  • Sorry if I'm coming across as a dick, had a drink today. If it was a child then I doubt the op's life would have been in jeopardy. And yes, it's possible to sprint on a bike. Case closed lol by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 22nd Dec 2020 7:31pm)
  • Why do the weans wear shorts all year round? It's bloody freezing. Seen a wee guy this morning and his legs were red raw. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 23rd Dec 2020 1:17pm)
  • Getting pished drunk on my tod today. Hopefully just eat has some decent restaurants open because I missed tesco last night. Happy whatever you believe in. If you're feeling down and lonely, remember that you're not the only one. Cheers 🍻 by SkidMarx1917 (Fri 25th Dec 2020 11:17am)

  • Covid prison by SkidMarx1917 (Mon 28th Dec 2020 7:35pm)
  • Everyone moans on this sub about rent, landlords and all but always ignore living rent guys posts. What are the objections to living rent or do people just not give a shit about matters that don't appear to affect them regularly? by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 29th Dec 2020 2:34am)
  • I work in the station. They occasionally stand at the platform when the London trains are boarding but I've yet to see them dig anyone up. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 29th Dec 2020 5:46pm)
  • The past few days they've been standing there at the platform for the Avanti Euston service but I guess it's just to put off the folk who don't have genuine reasons. Today I've not seen them there. You'll be absolutely fine. No one, even train staff will ask your reasons for travelling. Relax, dude Nothing at all to worry about. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 29th Dec 2020 6:03pm)
  • I've given up on getting pissed off about others not doing their bit. It's been turning me into a bitter bastard. No point getting wound up about shit we can't change. Just remember that the majority are good folk doing their best and the minority of fuckwits are just more visible. On a positive note, this number 60 bus I'm on has 14 passengers, all wearing masks and not a dick nose in sight. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 29th Dec 2020 8:23pm)
  • Harry Ramsdens RIP by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 29th Dec 2020 11:08pm)
  • This was Greenview school in the 90s. A special school for special boys. I went there. Ohhh the memories of the germoline bus picking me up. My siblings teased me relentlessly. Turns out I'm not so special and just a normal guy. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 30th Dec 2020 8:15pm)
  • We had protection from shitty employers prior to brexit? Could have fooled me. Happy Hogmanay by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 31st Dec 2020 10:11am)
  • The government are actively encouraging people to go out with mates in the fresh air. I've seen umpteen adverts promoting this. If I didn't have KG Park nearby I'm sure I'd have lost the plot by now. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 6:22pm)
  • It was a cartoon depicting two women meeting in a park and something about the importance of fresh air and exercise. Can't be arsed spending my night looking for it. I'm not condoning these folk who are not adhering to distancing. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 7:10pm)

  • DELETED There's no station called Kelvingrove. Do you mean Kelvindale? Good luck. by SkidMarx1917 (Sat 9th Jan 2021 5:17pm)
  • Welcome to city life. I've a violin player upstairs and it seems he's only ever tuning up. I don't cry or complain about it though because this is a city and I'm not the most important person. Live and let live or move to the countryside. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 4:43pm)
  • It's always been like this in Partick, especially Chancellor Street. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 4:40pm)
  • How can you exercise and drink coffee at the same time? by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 4:53pm)
  • I've always wondered why that particular street seems to discard of so much bulk waste. Perhaps you're right and the waste is being brought from elsewhere. We can only speculate. I got a bass guitar amp and a fussball table from there. I'm sure you could kit out a whole flat in a week from the stuff that ends up there. Ones man's rubbish et al by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 4:49pm)
  • Cushy jobs drinking coffee in a park. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 5:29pm)
  • I walk to work every day but it's absolutely non essential that I risk myself and others buying coffee. There's coffee in the house and coffee at work. Why should I risk a minimum wake worker when I have coffee at home? They're just selfish cunts. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 5:44pm)
  • I did start with saying exercise. I still don't understand why folk drink coffee when exercising. I can only think they're taking the piss. Coffee shops should be closed and furloughing their workers. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 10th Jan 2021 6:02pm)
  • I think draughts boards would be better because not enough people know how to play chess.. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 13th Jan 2021 4:59pm)

  • Plenty of decent folk live in council housing. You sound like a tory. Send on the downvotes. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 13th Jan 2021 9:58pm)
  • No one is being stopped. There are no clippies on the train either. by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 8:43am)
  • You could literally go right now to London and you wouldn't even be asked for a ticket never mind a valid reason to travel. Complete farce. BTP stand about doing Fuck all. Idle wage theifs. by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 9:36am)
  • They all look really unhealthy and they're worried about the vaccine? by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 1:35pm)
  • Any idea what the rent is on these accommodations? If you were homeless and working, would it be affordable? by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 11:49pm)
  • Okay, you've made it very clear about what you want... Square or link? by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 11:46pm)

  • There's a film crew parked up at the Viking bar on Maryhill Road. Anyone know what they're filming? by SkidMarx1917 (Fri 15th Jan 2021 7:41am)
  • Conductors are responsible for safety and general operational duties. Ticket inspectors are for revenue collection. by SkidMarx1917 (Fri 15th Jan 2021 12:33pm)
  • I'm guessing it's probably a dookit. by SkidMarx1917 (Fri 15th Jan 2021 12:30pm)
  • Anyone know where he lives? I wouldn't mind having a word with him. by SkidMarx1917 (Mon 18th Jan 2021 9:20am)
  • Scottish welfare fund might be able to offer you a grant. They helped me in similar circumstances in April last year.

  • Boys in shorts chasing a bag of wind. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 19th Jan 2021 1:15am)
  • I honestly hate it but everyone's experience is different depending on where you live, your financial situation etc etc. I've lived all over from West end to Ruchazie (proper shite hole) and I didn't like either. The only reason I'm back is because of this pandemic. We have lots of nice parks, close to Loch Lomond and the trossach which is about the best I can say. If you want to get a feel for the type of people in this city, check out the comments on any of the local news pages on Facebook. Lots of casual racism, sectarianism, anti-intellectualism, nationalism, passive aggression and intolerance to anything that's not considered normal. It's got a kind of small town backwardsness about it. You on the other hand might love it here, it all depends on what you seek. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 19th Jan 2021 2:19pm)
  • You're probably right. I should have just said the weather is awful. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 19th Jan 2021 2:24pm)
  • The staff don't have to stop shoplifters. I was talking to a security guard the other day and he said they can't break the 2m rule to stop them. I agree though, retail staff have got it bad just now. by SkidMarx1917 (Thu 21st Jan 2021 12:03pm)

  • I took a walk around Govanhill last night and it doesn't look any worse than other areas of city. What am I missing? 20 years ago I'd never dream of walking around there it genuinely was dangerous with all the neds. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 3rd Mar 2021 4:16pm)
  • Yes it's a dump but so is most of Glasgow. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 3rd Mar 2021 5:25pm)
  • I walked the entire length of Allison Street then back up Calder Street, took a diversion down some of the side streets. It was worse 20 years ago in my opinion. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 3rd Mar 2021 5:25pm)

  • So you're condoning sectarian chanting, vandalism of the city centre and public urination? Because normal people condemn this sort of behaviour you're changing your political ideology? Mad. by SkidMarx1917 (Sun 7th Mar 2021 6:38pm)

  • Everyone seems to love tacos but as far as I know only one place in Glasgow sells maseca and corn tortillas? (lupe pinto). Are people just using wheat tortillas for their tacos? That's sad. by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 9th Mar 2021 1:29pm)
  • Why the downvotes? If I'm wrong, then why not tell me where you get your corn tortillas? by SkidMarx1917 (Tue 9th Mar 2021 4:23pm)
  • 36 here too. Do you have any underlying health problems? by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 10th Mar 2021 4:47pm)
  • I think their motivation is protecting house prices rather than community work. We asked friends of North Kelvin Meadow for support in saving the elephant park a few blocks north of the meadow and they weren't interested. Council went ahead and sold the land. Now we have neighbours across the road who live in North Kelvinside and us, still Maryhill. No doubt we'll see rent increases as a result. Yes, the meadow is lovely but once you've sat in a community council meeting with the North Kelvinsiders you'll quickly realise they care not a jot about the working class or anything that doesn't concern their house prices. by SkidMarx1917 (Wed 10th Mar 2021 10:14pm)
