  • Banana split. Slice a banana lengthwise then spray aerosol cream on it. This was an actual pudding (dessert was a toff word) they served in school back in the day. by Wankinson (Fri 4th Jun 2021 8:01am)
  • Does anyone know how to go about getting a birth certificate certified. I need to prepare it to be accepted overseas. Apparently it has it has to be done by a public official, anyone got any recommendations? How much would something like this cost? by Wankinson (Sat 5th Jun 2021 8:48am)
  • When you were preparing your documents, how did you go about it? The way I'm going is - Get the document certified by a notary public - Mail it to gov legalisation services for apostille. - and finally get an official translation of the document. It seems a very complicated process and I think I'm probably doing it all wrong. by Wankinson (Sat 5th Jun 2021 2:06pm)
  • It's a copy I have. It still has to be certified before it can be apostilled. Cheers for your reply. by Wankinson (Sat 5th Jun 2021 2:12pm)
  • Thanks mate. I can relax and enjoy my Saturday now. Been stressing about this. by Wankinson (Sat 5th Jun 2021 2:09pm)
  • Hi, I don't mean to be nosey but do either of you have underlying conditions? I'm 38 in the same postcode still no letter. by Wankinson (Thu 10th Jun 2021 12:36pm)
  • 38, still no vaccine letter. by Wankinson (Thu 10th Jun 2021 12:36pm)

  • Away and scream into your pillow ya wank by Wankinson (Mon 14th Jun 2021 12:27am)
  • I'll be on a train for the game, scunnered. Hopefully there won't be many tunnels. by Wankinson (Mon 14th Jun 2021 9:59am)
  • A fortnight ago I went to the Mosque, Vicky and Hydro, no joy. You could lie about your postcode if they're still prioritising south side? I eventually got my appointment by calling the 08000308013 but I'm a bit older than you. by Wankinson (Mon 14th Jun 2021 10:19am)
  • Your WiFi could have connection issues. by Wankinson (Mon 14th Jun 2021 1:15pm)
  • If you're working, best to avoid furnished gha flats. I had one in pinkston about ten years ago and the rent was around £700 per month. by Wankinson (Wed 16th Jun 2021 6:28pm)
  • Buchanan galleries car park. by Wankinson (Thu 17th Jun 2021 2:54pm)
  • Finish at 8 on the dot, boss is a prick and won't let me away early. Its probably going to be a struggle to find somewhere to watch the game. Any suggestions of where to watch it around the city centre or am I best getting home and missing first half? by Wankinson (Fri 18th Jun 2021 2:10pm)
  • Can you send me a link, please? Thanks by Wankinson (Sun 20th Jun 2021 6:01pm)
  • Aye, need a certificate. I'm flying from Manchester and it's an early flight so the testing won't be open. I'm looking for something in the city centre before I take the train down. by Wankinson (Sun 20th Jun 2021 7:19pm)
  • Cheers mate but it has to be a private test. by Wankinson (Sun 20th Jun 2021 7:16pm)
  • Mrs phoned up the 0800 nhs number to ask about a missing appointment. They told her to phone the local health board and gave the number 080006783393 which turned out to be a psychic medium service. Raging. by Wankinson (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 9:55am)
  • DELETED Give it a ring. 080006783393. Why would I lie to strangers on the Internet? I would have thought "there's no way NHS call centre staff would troll someone". by Wankinson (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 11:58am)
  • Now that you mention it, it does look like that. I've edited my posts now. by Wankinson (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 1:02pm)
  • DELETED It's not really a humorous situation though, is it? Actually it's been very stressful for us as we're emigrating in 1 month and desperately need to be vaccinated. I managed to get through to someone to complain and it appears that they're taking it very seriously. I doubt it was the first time this call handler gave that number out because she seemed to have it at hand. I'm not one for getting folk the sack but that cunt should be nowhere near NHS services. by Wankinson (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 5:38pm)
  • No worries, pal. I think the psychic line asked for a card payment to continue lol. Have a nice day. by Wankinson (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 6:04pm)
  • We did consider this but she's certain that she took the correct number and recited it back to the call handler. by Wankinson (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 6:06pm)
  • You didn't go wild camping. You dossed in the woods. by Wankinson (Thu 24th Jun 2021 10:32pm)
  • Welcome to Glasgow. by Wankinson (Tue 29th Jun 2021 11:58pm)
  • Pretty hostile place for immigrants, if you're a white you'll probably be alright. My best advice going forward would be to isolate for ten days. by Wankinson (Wed 30th Jun 2021 12:03am)
  • Got them in my work but they're 30p for 2 sweets by Wankinson (Sat 3rd Jul 2021 11:59am)
  • Bullshit. Council cleaners tidied it. by Wankinson (Sun 11th Jul 2021 6:45pm)
  • I'm originally from Toryglen. Went over last month to check out the old homestead and it was gone. Brand new social housing all over the circus but it was absolutely filthy with litter and graffiti. It looked better in the 90s. Surely those newbuilds can't be more than ten years old? They look a terrible state. by Wankinson (Tue 13th Jul 2021 7:40pm)
  • Is the street closed off? Must be a nightmare for commuters. by Wankinson (Wed 14th Jul 2021 7:26pm)
  • Is that the street of the famous bollard? by Wankinson (Thu 15th Jul 2021 2:26am)
  • Bills tool store at the Barras. by Wankinson (Mon 19th Jul 2021 7:27pm)
  • There was a police cordon at the hope Street entrance earlier in the afternoon, blood all over the steps. That whole area is fucked. by Wankinson (Tue 20th Jul 2021 9:18am)
  • I think we only have gift shops. by Wankinson (Sun 25th Jul 2021 12:19am)
  • Why didn't he get his results posted to him? It seems a bit odd to be finding out your results in a newspaper. by Wankinson (Wed 28th Jul 2021 11:41pm)
  • I feel like an idiot now, thanks. If it's of any use, the Scotsman keeps and publishes back issues online. by Wankinson (Thu 29th Jul 2021 12:00am)
  • Handbags and tights too, often without socks. by Wankinson (Sat 31st Jul 2021 8:36pm)
  • Do they embrace the term spice boy like neds did? Are there any on here who can confirm? by Wankinson (Sat 31st Jul 2021 8:35pm)
  • I got my first in Glasgow and second in Mexico but struggling to get proof of fully vaccinated status. The main thing is that I'm safe but it would be useful to be able to prove it. There needs to be some kind of international coordination on this. Sure it's my fault for moving here so please spare me the down votes. by Wankinson (Sat 31st Jul 2021 8:43pm)
  • Ours was the same but we called it Soviet green. by Wankinson (Sun 1st Aug 2021 4:26pm)
  • DELETED Just woke up and learned that where I live now has gone to red semaphore, basically our version of level 4. Beaches closed and mandatory masks in the streets. Still don't wish to be back in Glasgow. by Wankinson (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 1:40pm)
  • Scotia Bar upstairs. by Wankinson (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 1:48pm)
  • Thanks by Wankinson (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 5:23pm)
  • I'll delete my post if it hurts you so much. by Wankinson (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 5:24pm)
  • 100% Glaswegian but, aye, this looks dodgy as Fuck lol by Wankinson (Mon 9th Aug 2021 7:07pm)
  • Thanks very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. by Wankinson (Mon 9th Aug 2021 7:05pm)
  • They're hardly struggling, obviously got help from mummy and daddy if they're looking solely in the West end. by Wankinson (Wed 11th Aug 2021 10:20pm)
  • Anyone who aspires to be another man's boss is indeed a complete dick, no exceptions. by Wankinson (Thu 12th Aug 2021 1:37pm)
  • It really gets me so pissed off reading the comments on Facebook about the situation in Afghanistan on Glasgow news pages. The vast majority apathetic racist bastards. I really hate how Scotland is portrayed as this tolerant and progressive society when in actual fact it's full of lumpen scumbags. The working class there are so backwards. It's a terrible shame. by Wankinson (Tue 17th Aug 2021 1:45pm)
  • Probably best heading up to Maryhill Road. Most of the west end places cater for the vegans and people with a bit of extra money. by Wankinson (Sat 21st Aug 2021 2:22pm)
  • Filthy City of filthy people. Not uncommon to see grown adults who should know better just throwing their shit on the street. Even the new build social housing is totally trashed within months. I can only assume that people enjoy living in filth. by Wankinson (Sat 21st Aug 2021 6:23pm)
  • Overpriced garbage. It's also a chain. by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 12:59am)
  • Rafa's is the closest to authentic you'll find. Best heading through to Edinburgh, there are a few decent ones there. Even better, go to Lupe pinto on GWR and make your own. by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 12:58am)
  • Henry Healy on Mitchell Street. by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 1:02am)
  • Well, he was asking for Mexican food and it doesn't have any Mexican dishes on the menu. It's decent for a munch but if you're looking for Mexican food you'll be disappointed. My comment wasn't really aimed at you but to help the OP. by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 1:08am)
  • Try Rafa's 👍 by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 1:13am)
  • Ahuja holdings, super slumlords. They have lots of shitty flats, no deposit, DSS welcome. Clearly preying on the most vulnerable. [Daily record article](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/airdrie-woman-describes-nightmare-year-4574513.amp&ved=2ahUKEwiy-6Lh8M7yAhVxlGoFHaSUBvEQyM8BMAV6BAgDEAM&usg=AOvVaw2FcPBzjFB5zn8nhTreYYxO&ampcf=1) Scumbags. by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 3:22pm)
  • Edited. Realised linking to their website is probably not a good idea. They don't have Westmuir Street listed. by Wankinson (Thu 26th Aug 2021 8:21pm)
  • The earth is round. by Wankinson (Sun 29th Aug 2021 1:12pm)
  • Why are people so toxic on Facebook local news pages? Racists and proud of it but hiding behind pictures of their children or dogs? Reddit seems a bit more civilised, why? by Wankinson (Tue 31st Aug 2021 6:06am)
  • ⚓ by Wankinson (Wed 1st Sep 2021 3:08am)
  • Probably protesting against lockdown. by Wankinson (Thu 2nd Sep 2021 4:57am)
  • Can a private business actually prevent you from entering as it's a public space? by Wankinson (Fri 3rd Sep 2021 5:14pm)
  • I agree. It's a complete myth peddled by the nationalists and those who don't set foot outside the west end. Sure it's improved somewhat but we've a long way to go by Wankinson (Fri 3rd Sep 2021 5:33pm)
  • Total bamfest. Honestly wouldn't even go if it was free. Even ten years ago things like t in the park, gig on the green etc were aimed at music fans of all tastes. by Wankinson (Thu 9th Sep 2021 10:37pm)
  • Where are they playing? by Wankinson (Thu 9th Sep 2021 11:32pm)

  • Are we calling the shops stores now? by Wankinson (Fri 10th Sep 2021 7:12am)
  • I remember a few scrambles in the early 90's. Kids these days would probably be too proud to participate. by Wankinson (Fri 10th Sep 2021 6:55pm)
  • Due to Partick being a residential area, licenses are harder to obtain. The record factory on Byres Road closes at 2. by Wankinson (Fri 10th Sep 2021 7:45pm)
  • I really don't get the appeal of this wanker. Mediocre lad shit. by Wankinson (Sat 11th Sep 2021 3:27am)
  • Is there any point in keeping countries on the red list when they new variants are already rampant and no attempts being made to keep the numbers down? by Wankinson (Sat 11th Sep 2021 8:54am)

  • I'm guessing hitchhiking is no longer a thing since covid? by Wankinson (Mon 13th Sep 2021 10:10pm)
  • It's always been a thing. I've hitchhiked all over the UK and Europe and never encountered any movie situations. In my experience Scotland is (was?) one of the easiest places to do it. by Wankinson (Mon 13th Sep 2021 10:52pm)
  • Yes by Wankinson (Mon 13th Sep 2021 11:40pm)
  • I know plenty of women who hitchhike. They actually have more success than me and other male hitchhikers I know. I've stood on motorway entrances for hours thumbing while multiple women got a lift before me. by Wankinson (Tue 14th Sep 2021 5:45am)
  • I reckon it's probably a lot safer nowadays due to having technology, GPS etc. 20 years ago when it was probably more popular you had no means of informing friends or family of your whereabouts. You were out on your own with no means of contact. I guess it depends on the person. If I had the money sure I'd fly or take a train but for a lot of people thumbing was the only way. Not everyone has the luxury and part of living is taking risks. by Wankinson (Tue 14th Sep 2021 5:53am)
  • Hard man hiding behind a screen. I bet you have a picture of your dog or your weans on your Facebook account and you have a top fan badge on the local news pages. by Wankinson (Tue 14th Sep 2021 9:36pm)
  • Did you give glasgow live permission to use your video? by Wankinson (Wed 15th Sep 2021 10:55pm)
  • I'd like to think you'd have said no to the sun. Good job getting the story out there. Hopefully the bastard gets prosecuted. by Wankinson (Wed 15th Sep 2021 11:16pm)
  • Has anyone done a managed hotel quarantine? Do they let you order alcohol from uber or the supermarket? I'm a smoker too and it's going to be very difficult for me if they don't let me outside to smoke. Not looking forward to this at all. I have to come back for a family emergency. I've had my first jag in Scotland and second here so I don't have proof of double vaccination in order to circumvent the hotel quarantine by spending ten days elsewhere. Fucking nightmare scenario. by Wankinson (Thu 16th Sep 2021 6:22am)

  • Nothing we can do when society at large rejects socialism but complains at every aspect of the current broken system. by Wankinson (Mon 4th Oct 2021 6:15pm)
  • How do you know? OP didn't mention the brand. by Wankinson (Mon 4th Oct 2021 6:27pm)
  • Have you even been there? Have you been to Wyndford, Ruchazie, Easterhouse? I was brought up in a toryglen and Govanhill was never safe to walk around 20 years ago. I went to Govanhill last year and walked about at night to see what all the fuss was about and I never felt intimidated. Victoria Road seemed very vibrant and safe. Its not the nicest place but certainly not the worst. What don't you like about it? by Wankinson (Mon 4th Oct 2021 6:32pm)
  • Might have been Jamieson or Powers. by Wankinson (Mon 4th Oct 2021 7:32pm)
  • My thoughts exactly. Why would the manager give a shit when he's off duty having a pint? Someone's telling fibs I think. It doesn't even have a bar that you could run around. by Wankinson (Mon 4th Oct 2021 9:01pm)
  • Have I been pronouncing it wrong all my life too?? by Wankinson (Mon 4th Oct 2021 9:11pm)

  • So it would be a big inconvenience if members of the public removed the rubber seals? Would this be a criminal offence? by Wankinson (Wed 6th Oct 2021 7:45am)
  • I think you only need the single status certificate in from the Scottish government (Certificate of no impediment) . You also need your birth certificate apostiled by your government. Your best bet is to get someone back home to do this for you. by Wankinson (Fri 8th Oct 2021 7:43am)
