You’ll be fine, busy road all the way. Depending on whereabouts on morning side street maybe the 41 bus from city centre would be better? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 9th Feb 2021 8:23am)

Recently just started on uc due to redundancy, get a phonecall every 2nd week to check how am doing and asked if I need any assistance with cv etc They seem to provide a good service. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 11th Feb 2021 10:39pm)

Remand tour? 😂 by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 11th Feb 2021 10:36pm)

I would love to get this jag now just for my peace of mind but being under 80 and not on any list I guess will be some time. Is there some sort of standby system in place so we can take advantage of people who don’t turn up by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 13th Feb 2021 12:37pm)

Sorry but gotta ask, did they flush after themselves? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 12th Apr 2021 5:31am)

Every time you see the dealer go out put some good strong glue in his door locks, just keep repeating by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 12th Apr 2021 5:44am)

I found barlinnie is a good place to make new pals and learn so many new skills, each day you join the walking group and have some great chats. You get to meet petty crime offenders to lifers in for murders. Some great friends for life there. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 19th Jun 2021 7:45am)

General rule of thumb in Glasgow if it’s a conservation area then rear of property can be upvc no issues. If any of the neighbouring flats have upvc (any style) in place then you won’t have any issue. Council are far more concerned with properties with listed status. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 19th Jun 2021 8:24am)

Great that your willing to donate to any charity, so many good causes but most are “big charities” that obtain high funding. Look closer at your local area think maybe about your local youth groups ie Scouts/Guides/Boys Brigade or even small struggling children’s football teams by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 19th Jun 2021 8:27am)

Used to take the overnight bus quite regular, my advise is to book one of the seats near the front. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 20th Jul 2021 10:12am)

That’s what the internet’s for, no? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 20th Oct 2021 8:26pm)

Age old Glasgow flat life! All of you go and confront the person at there door, ask what there problem is and see what’s said. Otherwise other option is a campaign of making there life a constant nightmare. I have in the past used strong clue to glog there locks works wonders by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 8th Dec 2021 7:01pm)

I’d suggest Maryhill Juniors decent wee team and watchable affordable games with decent grub by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 23rd Dec 2021 12:42pm)

Fair point but maybe the elite that can afford to help the environment are doing there bit for the lower classes. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 5th Jan 2022 8:47am)

Coffee in a nice hotel can lead to all sorts of adventures too by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 13th Mar 2022 8:47pm)

Had my best fare dodge yesterday, managed carntyne to Helensburgh and back not a ticket person in sight. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 16th Mar 2022 9:07am)

Think all buy a auld Skoda and do a side hustle of taxing, 1200 for a 08 plate just hang around the hotspots by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 28th Mar 2022 7:30am)

What’s the cost of non delivery out of interest by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 11th Apr 2022 7:38am)

Similar to tescos in silverburn, always park there for cinema trips, use tesco to buy snacks for cinema then walk round. Each week this private firm write with a nice picture of the car. Won’t be paying a penny by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 14th Apr 2022 7:10am)

My gran who was a staunch Church of Scotland/Woman’s Guild member got the knock on the door from the local JW branch, was a wet/windy day and she took pity on these 3 folk. Turned out it was the top man of the local hall and two followers, she invited them in and gave them tea n biscuits! She adamantly told them she wouldn’t be converting and they accepted this, they popped in every month with there magazine and this continued for 18 years. A strange organisation but these fellows from Riddrie were a nice bunch of people. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 15th Apr 2022 9:36am)

Won’t judge you for going to this gig the things you do to please family! How long do you intend to stay in Glasgow? I highly recommend Dakota hotel, expensive but won’t be full of young folk who are in town for the concert so will be quieter. If your both agile on your feet then Raddisson Red at finniston has a nice sky bar with nice views ideal for a few pre show drinks. Then 20 min walk to the stadium. Subway I’d say is best to get back to the city centre afterwards but will be busy. Are you flying into Edinburgh? If so there is a decent bus service to Glasgow from the airport. Don’t make the mistake of many tourists I met at Heathrow and drive up using a hire car! by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 15th Apr 2022 9:53am)

If you have a licence I’d suggest buy a old runabout by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 15th Apr 2022 4:18pm)

Don’t stress over it, last time I heard from them was a similar letter just prior to first lockdown. Still have not had any more letters or action taken against me. I have the money available to pay them but I had a f it moment and not looked back. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 15th Apr 2022 4:15pm)

Sadly it’s at least one a week, I stayed in apartments across from the sheriff court and there was always someone who had jumped in. Ended up moving out as isn’t nice to watch police fish out the body. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 19th Apr 2022 9:17am)

Hope you have managed to secure either a safe place or transport to Bristol. Bad situation to be in by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 19th Apr 2022 9:23pm)

Keep your eye on gumtree/Facebook marketplace. There’s usually cash in hand jobs around especially for wee dodgy call centres cold calling folk by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 24th Apr 2022 7:27am)

Is this the place down a wee lane? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 24th Apr 2022 3:59pm)

I’d consider that more of a sport but fun 💦 by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 24th Apr 2022 3:55pm)

Was just curious, had the unopened letter sat for ages and yesterday heard a radio advert mentioning about legal action for failure to comply. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 24th Apr 2022 4:12pm)

I think it’s great, street food abroad is always great. Where abouts is this guy and any times? I’d buy of him by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 25th Apr 2022 9:06am)

The new Indian place in st Enoch centre does good Indian style breakfast by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 26th Apr 2022 10:23pm)

They have lights in the court, like traffic lights? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 27th May 2022 10:20am)

Many won’t agree but a 999 call mention you see some of them carrying knives/sword seems to get a very decent response, most times the young team will move on somewhere else by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 30th Jun 2022 7:39am)

Agree with many comments here, some officers in police Scotland have there own rules and are above the law. I was remanded for a breach of bail, whilst I spent 90 days awaiting the decision if I was to goto court two police officers (cid) decided to use my keys to access my empty property, I presume for a nosey. Whilst there they signed for a neighbours parcel! Poor neighbour has to wait many weeks for my return to get there parcel. My lawyer complained to police Scotland, we even had the officers name and a photo from the delivery company. Guess what, no further action and warned off Oh and my keys/phone/270 quid just disappeared Never trust the police and for sure they ain’t your friend at any time. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 30th Jun 2022 7:56am)

My favourite one when pulled over, how can you afford this car? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 30th Jun 2022 8:04am)

You have done well by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 4th Jul 2022 9:10am)

It is scary how people are expected to live in these places, I hope your situation gets better soon by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 5th Jul 2022 9:46am)

Tic tok you don’t have to show your face and easy to record on a phone by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 6th Jul 2022 9:39am)

If you have one near you I’d highly recommend using them, been a few times when I’ve hired the previous renter has left it dirty so just a quick photo to show this avoids any issues by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 16th Jul 2022 6:53am)

Your life will change forever if you go to this door, can’t say any more online about it. Just saying people are watching by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 16th Jul 2022 6:50am)

Out of interest, have you checked your online cloud storage has the “new” owner took any new pictures ie like a selfie? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 9:39am)

Listen Easterhouse shopping centre is just as vibrant as the day it opened 😁 by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 7th Aug 2022 9:38am)

I worked at Heathrow and used this bus every fortnight was very handy, arrived at Heathrow bus station back of 6am Try prebook the two seats behind the driver, then no issues with person in front reclining. If your alone then the extra seat is good for getting your feet up. Don’t rely on the free wifi it’s poor! by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 7th Aug 2022 9:53am)

There is a doctors surgery in carntyne road just off myrseside street, then further up you have a two rows of shops. The friendliest wee shop is saleems on carntyne road and has a hairdressers next door. Also close by is China king chinese takeaway, I highly recommend them. Depending on which part of the street your in the road can get busy with cars especially the loud variety, they tend to enjoy flying around the roundabout! Also Duke street is within distance if your looking at coffee shops etc too Other than that it is reasonably quiet by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 2:28am)

Miss the days of going to the barras for pirated games and the general dodgy vibes by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 2:38am)

Surprised the owner hasn’t converted it into flats by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 2:47am)

Shorts and t shirt, also don’t forget to take some popcorn for the trial by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 2:45am)

Over there you just download the app, pop in your Apple Pay etc and your off by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 3:40am)

Can’t think of any actual cycle paths from carntyne to city centre, you have the Clyde cycle path and Cathrin braes but don’t think that’s what your thinking off. Parkhead library isn’t too far, although if cycling I’d be more concerned about getting the bike stolen whilst your inside! by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 3:48am)

One thing I noticed and felt in Helsinki is there’s quite a few cobbled stone streets along with tram lines. The scooter coped very well with the surfaces. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 14th Aug 2022 8:41am)

Been fortunate and up to last month cleared 2900 pcm after tax, but due to health condition going down to 1200 Thankfully I am a single guy and don’t have a high expenditure and have thankfully put by over last few years. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 18th Aug 2022 11:24pm)

I would imagine Vue or Odeon will at some point take over the property, Odeon more for me since they don’t have much footfall east of the quay. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 20th Aug 2022 8:23am)

Fortunate position in that a good friend owns the property who allows me to stay rent free. They stay in Australia and have no plans to come back or sell, guess if they ever sold I’d get first offer. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 20th Aug 2022 8:20am)

Am sure I saw a sign in rbs saying you have to 22nd or 28th to exchange these old notes by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 7:33am)

All of these walks/demonstrations wether it’s orange or alternative catholic walks should all be ideally moved into stadiums or enclosed parks. Then the roads could remain open, people can enjoy these events if they wish and everyone else can go about there business. I include such events like the Scottish nationalism in this too with them playing loud music. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 7:36am)

I’ve been enjoying miller n carter a bit too much of late! Found excuses and had 5 visits this month so far. Love a good steak by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 24th Aug 2022 12:27am)

I am all for people taking there right to strike for genuine better pay/conditions! What I don’t like is on return to work claiming overtime to clear up the mess it’s caused! This is purely aimed at refuge collectors. Strike didn’t affect me, I pay a private contractor who is going to empty my bins for a small fee. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 24th Aug 2022 12:25am)

My family where in very good terms of there leader from Riddrie meeting hall, he and his friends always visited us with the watchtower magazine. Even though they knew no one was converting they still came for chats. Interesting people but not for me by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 24th Aug 2022 10:04pm)

The premier inn next to the cinema has decent bar food by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 26th Aug 2022 12:52am)

We have a private contractor in our estate emptying bins on demand, Frazers waste management think it’s just Glasgow area they cover by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 31st Aug 2022 11:46am)

Does your friend realise your position? Maybe he can sort something out at least by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 31st Aug 2022 7:08pm)

£60 a month and to be fair they come every week hoovering the stairs/hallways. It’s always kept clean and tidy. I used to stay elsewhere and it’s a different world, used to find vomit or last nights Chinese all over the shop and folk in general would walk through it. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 31st Aug 2022 7:11pm)

So are these families hoping to integrate into life here, was just thinking it’s a shame they aren’t really near other folk so they can mix with our society. Positive I guess they have comfortable surroundings in the ship. Good luck to them by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 2nd Sep 2022 11:39pm)

If you really need a car, look at rentalcars.co.uk and then compare to the individual companies themselves. Companies like Easirent especially at the airport can be very cheap but just be mindful of the extra insurances or deposits needed. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 2nd Sep 2022 11:48pm)

24 hour transportation to/from Glasgow airport to the city, disgraceful still in the dark ages there! Bring back trams too Allow e-scooters and provide better/cheaper car sharing clubs by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 6th Sep 2022 11:10am)

My personal opinion is that the man should show some decorum and postpone rest of the shows. I was a fan but his position of greed and keeping the show on is unforgiving. I know folk won’t agree saying life goes on etc which is fair enough but it’s a time of reflection as a nation. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 9th Sep 2022 5:58pm)

Yeah just appeared last Tuesday, weird thing about it is av not left the house in the days before either by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 19th Sep 2022 9:57pm)

When stuck and in town it’s always a hotel toilet I aim for, never been challenged oh and if your early morning there’s always opportunity for a free breakfast….maybe will save for another thread by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 2nd Oct 2022 2:30pm)

Here’s me moaning at this one fly that I canny catch by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 4th Oct 2022 9:40am)

av used GlasGo for my last 4 airport trips, coming and going and all been fine. Was one bloke who needed a card for the barrier to get into drop off zone but he lived 2 mins from me so he jumped into his house for it by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 7th Oct 2022 3:05pm)

There’s a 🔔🔚 on tic tok with this name, I’d guess it’s about him by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 14th Oct 2022 3:30pm)

Delivery driver has no right to open your front door to deliver, they should have simply left on your door step and took a pic for there own proof of delivery. As for people giving you abusive messages, can the op send these to admin for action to be taken. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 15th Oct 2022 11:24pm)

Life changes, I think the whole lockdown procedure gave us all much more time to reflect on our lives and for me realise what’s important and what isn’t. I quite enjoyed the lockdowns I had no excuses for being a social loner and suiting my self. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 15th Oct 2022 11:30pm)

Handy a old building just catching fire adjacent to a large new development that’s nearing finishing by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 16th Oct 2022 11:22am)

Savoy deffo gets you out there, if you don’t succeed at last man standing then the taxi/bus ranks are always fruitful by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 16th Oct 2022 5:25pm)

Done this for a mortgage company I left was no chance I was asking people where they shopped then telling them to shop at cheaper places. If I was you stick at it, keep your head down and take the salary and keep looking for whatever your ideal job may be. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 16th Oct 2022 10:42pm)

If you have the stomach for it make there time a misery, glue there locks every odd week, phone police from a burner phone to arrange welfare check at silly hours of the day, if there fuse box is in communal area every now n then turn there power off and lastly make them live in fear thinking someone’s after them ie like leave notes on there door demanding payment for a tic bill by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 16th Oct 2022 10:50pm)

I prefer unhinged at times by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 17th Oct 2022 8:08am)

Very unfair of your friend, I’d guess her plan all along was for the boyfriend to move in with her, the fact she’s never told you at the start she’s knows you’d have said no. If your a true close friend she will understand if you tell her you don’t mind the odd night for him staying but not 24/7 End of day if she doesn’t like it then wish them best of luck in finding new accommodation and get someone else in. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 17th Oct 2022 11:37am)

Would love to know what goes through these folks heads when damaging other property. Take care of your self by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 18th Oct 2022 7:55am)

The way things are going that’s a distinct possibility, thanks by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 19th Oct 2022 9:38pm)

Normally these factors when faced with non payment would contact whoever has the first charge over the property ie mortgage company. Who usually end up paying the debt and adding to the mortgage account. Not sure about commercial property but must be similiar. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 19th Oct 2022 9:35pm)

I am back n forth to Heathrow every second week, hand luggage, check in online and usually make it for final boarding. Last trip arrived at airport and 15 mins later the aircraft was taxing by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 27th Oct 2022 11:01am)

Not a chance this century of this happening by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 28th Oct 2022 2:53pm)

Overnight bus to London, if you don’t want anyone sat beside you then book two seats by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 3rd Nov 2022 10:50am)

Very fortunate, never hear or see my neighbours. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 4th Nov 2022 11:00pm)

Noticed quite a lot of new builds around Robroyston heading towards Cumbernauld they look okay plus the big shopping area is not bad. Definitely more designed for car users with lack of local bus transportation. Whereas Rutherglen has loads of transport by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 7th Nov 2022 11:38pm)

Scotkart in Cambuslang or Clydebank if you have funds available plus transport, or laser quest by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 7th Nov 2022 11:35pm)

Anstruther is a nice little stop to stretch the legs, and a bonus of having a fish tea there! by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 8th Nov 2022 11:36pm)

Went to Easterhouse earlier today for both jabs and was approx one hour waiting time by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 10th Nov 2022 4:05pm)

First thing is try not to be nervous, speaking from having been other side of visitors table your brother will be extremely happy to see you, and it gives him something positive to look forward to when you visit. As mentioned take some coins for vending machines and if you can afford it put some cash into his canteen, basic items like irn bru/sweets/pot noodles cost a fortune inside! Prisoners love visiting time, you see guys spending hours making sure there “best” prison jumpers are clean/ironed before a visit. Lastly, hope it goes well and you make regular trips to see him. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 12th Nov 2022 7:33am)

I’ve noticed him on various socials showing his bank statements/apartments and cars. Always seems to be taking swipes at folk who I guess see through him. Surely he’s going to end up with a sore face one day if he’s running illegal schemes/scams by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 14th Nov 2022 8:54pm)

I hope you find a room to let or even a air bnb, I had similar issue few years back, was just out of jail. Moved down south, slept in back of a cheap car (cost me 250) and managed to find employment. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 14th Nov 2022 9:01pm)

Security staff only do a simple observation of you when entering, some will decide to give you a small pat down also briefly looking inside bags. If your caught inside the venue with your stash then your marched off the premises so it’s a gamble of missing your show/gig by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 17th Nov 2022 9:00am)

I’d suggest a neighbour or someone with a grudge is contacting 101 with a enquiry suggesting you have harmed yourself or about to harm yourself. Hence them coming into your property, this is a welfare check. No warrant is required. As far as them searching, you have given them that permission, I’d suggest the officers at that stage being speculative of perhaps finding something or you becoming “cheeky” so they could do you on a public order offence. Moving forward, I’d suggest making your door very safe ie get a steel door. The police even using there equipment will take a long time battering them in. Although if your in a house or bottom flat then they can smash a window but again you can take steps to secure them. They can turn up night or day for these welfare checks it’s a bad situation to be in. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 17th Nov 2022 2:08pm)

Sorry to hear that this is happening especially if it’s in Bannerman ( my old school) Does it still cover such a large catchment area by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 21st Nov 2022 4:41am)

Scrap yards are handy places by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 21st Nov 2022 12:52pm)

I have a prescription app with my docs it’s called patient access, I order my repeat prescriptions on it and in the notes if I need something else I just put a note in for the doctor and they prescribe it by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 21st Nov 2022 12:50pm)

Report animal cruelty and they will arrange a welfare check on the animal, if there’s shit bags at the door they may make comment by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 1:43pm)

Spare room, you considered growing some crops? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 1:45pm)

I have not made any changes to the way I live, still spend at shops probably more these days, have the heating on more or less all day. Life goes on and need to keep ourselfs fed n warm by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 24th Nov 2022 1:45pm)

Think your neighbour needs a reality check, they should be pleased you hoovering is the worst noise they have. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 24th Nov 2022 6:54pm)

Don’t stay in the sheilds, I am scheme boy but when I was younger I definitely had a expensive car with the private plate, speed around recklessly didn’t drink a lot and stayed with family. The young ones will grow out of it when they grow up and eventually have to join the formality of adulthood. What am saying is, if it’s not harming you let them enjoy a wee bit of fun and I guess they all come from many family backgrounds not all will be 3rd/4th generation ethnic families by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:47pm)

Sounds like the start of a money pit, guess you bought new I hope you took gap coverage. If so get it back and get it mysteriously burned out in a random fire attack. Claim the cash, pay off the finance and start with a car that won’t cost as much for parts by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:52pm)

Worth checking out the area where your office is located, maybe there’s a local community cafe or family centre that would love support from a local business, whether that’s the form of cash donations or staff spending paid time volunteering for them. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:56pm)

Sadly transport after the festivities is a problem, always has been. Pre covid found myself “stuck” but managed to gain entry to a hotel, security just presumed I was a guest as I happened to have a keycard for that chain in my wallet. I then found a cosy corner out of sight and knapped till 6am, was a bonus of pretending to be a guest for a freebie breaky too Then wondered out, and got a train home. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 26th Nov 2022 7:23pm)

I fly down to Heathrow once a fortnight just with hand luggage, check in online and I usaully turn up 45/60 mins before boarding and never had a problem. If your concerned go 2 hours early and be bored or buy fast track security by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 28th Nov 2022 6:27pm)

Variety is the key, I done the 9 to 5 grind for the one company for 20 years since I was 16 then after a year or so of travelling ended up purely by accident into security work at football, by chance then ended up in a well paid position, after 6 year got fed up with the politics and somehow ended up driving a recovery truck for a year. So if you can try and vary what you apply for to learn new skills plus you meet loads of different folk. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 6:35am)

I wouldn’t worry about the potential of your possible new home collapsing in the future, that’s why you take buildings insurance. If there’s any risk in the home report then you’d find your bank etc won’t lend you the cash in first place. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 6:41am)

Had similar issues with Glasglow or whatever they’re called previously, driver explained cash is better for them as gives them immediate funds towards paying there weekly rental fees.

If airport isn’t a option next best suggestion I’d say a hotel lobby, holiday inn/premier inn both close to bus station but lobbies I’d say not a option. Next biggest one is the Maldron Hotel or Citizen Z you could sit in these to pass the time in the warmth. Although I’d ensure you buy a coffee or something whilst there. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 15th Jan 2023 11:24am)

Such a shame this is happening in your street, as you mentioned confrontation isn’t your wish but if you can video him on a few occasions doing this I am positive that the licensing board at the council would be keen to take action against someone bringing taxi services into disrepute. Taken very serious especially if a black hack cab. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 20th Jan 2023 11:02pm)

Feel your pain about Feltham, the bus from Heathrow to high street is easier by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 26th Jan 2023 11:24pm)

Bad public transport is the problem in Glasgow, for example I visit stobhill hospital twice monthly for check ups, from east end where I am it’s two buses and takes approx 90 mins one way. Sadly can’t use Glasgow royal as these are specialist clinics. In the car, 10/15 mins at most! Car ownership is becoming more of a necessity but sadly the poorer members of our society it’s out of there reach and they’re spending more on taxis therefore never getting chance to improve there financial well being. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 26th Jan 2023 11:20pm)

Doing taxi work seems a lot of outlay but I guess put the hours in, you’ll get the rewards. Short term immediate work without a sia would be doing safety steward work, football/events/gigs Done this myself for fuel money years ago and ended up a full time job, great for travelling the country during festival season. Downfalls lots of standing around and if unlucky some really rubbish jobs especially if your face doesn’t fit! I was lucky ended up travelling around europe with a football team, home/away games then gigs at hydro. Typically not counting festivals, average wage of £50 (supervisor) and £30 odds per football game Quicky adds up by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 2nd Feb 2023 7:00pm)

Scouts/Boys or Girls Brigade good places to make a positive difference and not many hours needed. Then next you have various youth clubs that may need a hand. If you have a skill you can bring then it’s a bonus, lots of these places like cooks/mini bus drivers/sports coaches/arts n crafts capabilities. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 2nd Feb 2023 7:05pm)

Good Luck hope the police locate the other driver for you, if they’re unwilling or not keen at least you have a crime reference number for the insurance.

City centre is on its knees, shops closing, bars closing and lots of office staff working from home. Many folk perhaps can’t dependably use public transport due to expensiveness of it and it’s certainly not reliable. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 27th Feb 2023 12:24pm)

I picked Eon when I first moved in, billed monthly and to be fair no issues. There app is quite easy to navigate so I can clearly see charges for each kw of useage. They email each week with the incentive of a “money saving hour” where you try to cut down your useage and your credited the saving, only like 70p but small steps!

But, where do these people go, does them getting chased out not allow them to disappear into society where they can change names and hide. Sadly a couple of these protests appear to have turned sour in the less desirable areas where the local young team takeover potentially causing civil unrest.

Looks like it’s going to be a nice venue, another music venue will be good for the east end. My only downside thoughts looking ahead this removal of car parking provision on match days, that’s a lot of cars know looking to park elsewhere that doesn’t exist. Also what if in the future there’s a need to expand Celtic park. Personally I think this may have been better suited in the unused corner next to the emirates (London road/Springfield road) by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 17th Apr 2023 6:36am)

It’s common with this type of gig, head of security have a liaison with artists management and give the nod if they need the show stopping, although most times the artist will stop mid flow You’ll never see a “organised” pit area in any Scottish venue, security/organisers can’t be seen to promote the practise as then makes them liable if any problems occur. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 18th Apr 2023 10:40am)

Glasgow is not alone with social behaviours it’s all around the world. Some areas sadly are full of people in bad situations and maybe they find it difficult to get out of there social circles. I’ve lived in a extreme scheme and luckily also a couple of nicer areas in Glasgow and the difference is huge, in scheme life was always something going on outside compared to where I am now it’s night and day. I see your a teenager you will I hope get opportunities to see different areas not only in Glasgow but worldwide. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 23rd Apr 2023 4:21pm)

Used to frequent the Cineworld in town twice a week and on the odd occasion you got someone talking or on there phone, quick exit and told staff.

Best thing to do is just get out there and explore areas of the city you’ve not seen, get a idea of what areas give you a good vibe.

At the moment, I self finance myself a budget of 1200 per month and I do find it a struggle even “lending” cash to my son.

Rentalcars dot com is good for getting prices, as mentioned above if you hire from them and take out there added protection be aware most hire companies will then attempt to sell you there policy in a hard sell technique! Sixt car hire in Waterloo street or Enterprise in Oswald street both have a good range of cars, if your want upgrades to a nicer car my tip is take out insurance at the desk so the person serving you gets commission! Bring the car back with same as you got it otherwise the fuel charge is more expensive than what it costs at pump. At airport there are a few “cheaper” companies be very careful with them and hidden charges. Av worked 3/4 years previously in that industry by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 21st May 2023 6:56pm)

I’d love to have a e-scooter for local journeys especially in summer weather rather than use the car. See so many every day whizzing past and kinda makes me jealous that I am missing out.

Not as common a service compared to London unfortunately, you would have the cost of the hire vechicle which in its self can be expensive, I recommend sixt car hire for the more prestige cars. Your then looking at a reasonable hourly rate for your driver and hours per day, you would need to pay a room for them if your overnighting too. Fairly adds up! If your dates work out I’d offer my driving skills and knowledge of the roads around those areas, clean licence with no issues. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 4th Jul 2023 9:51am)

Depends really are you in a proper camper or are you set up as a stealth camper? If your stealth then you will be able to park anywhere you feel is safe and quiet, plenty of industrial estates around the city. Residential areas can be quite built up and might be a lack of space.

I’ve spent a good few years employed by europcar and sixt. These main companies along with enterprise/Budget/Avis are usually at a premium but if your in any of there loyalty programs then your looked after. Don’t be tempted by Greenmotion/Easirent and Drivalia which I suspect is Easirent under new colours! A couple of the big boys offer “budget hires” under different company names which offer good value and at Glasgow airport look for Keddy (they’re owned by europcar) You may have a insurance waiver in place or built in with your credit card, when at the desk 8/10 times the agent will attempt to sell up there own insurance so be strong, I have seen customers refused the car for not complying some agents are naughty and do you over. If you book the car minus cover, when you arrive at the desk the agent will most times dangle the “free car upgrade” if you take insurance at the desk. If you don’t take any cover with the company I recommend filming every part of the car inc tyres prior to driving off otherwise you leave yourself open to lost deposit and horrendous charges for minor damage. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 3rd Sep 2023 8:54am)

HML a mortgage company ran by skipton building society during my time they managed mortgage books on behalf of Bank of America and other investors. Management was very demanding on increasing repossessions of properties from poor folk who just couldn’t afford there payments, the sub prime mortgage market. 20 years I spent in the finance banking industry and these guys where the cowboys. I whistleblew on them to the fsa and they eventually received a large fine.

Heard a male manager/supervisor raping a fellow male employee, the guy was like quite old dunno if he got jailed or what happened to him. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 23rd Sep 2023 4:14pm)

Heard the story straight off the culprit seemed a nice older family man, I soon discontinued the conversation and moved away from him. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 23rd Sep 2023 4:34pm)

Think myself and a few other neighbours will be over talking to them later with a gentle reminder there equipment can get damaged over night by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 30th Sep 2023 9:43am)

If there’s spare seating they will try to accommodate you but be aware could be a lot of stairs by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 30th Sep 2023 2:30pm)

Surprised you’d think that was a good venture, with its size I wonder what they will do with the space, indoor rollercoaster? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Wed 4th Oct 2023 8:46am)

Love seeing these old images by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 9th Oct 2023 12:17pm)

It’s true and well publicised the deaths on both sides prior to this latest escalation. But this time round thanks to social media the world witnesses events first hand. Sadly for Palestine they have came across very badly in this latest instalment been filmed killing children n woman. Posing with elderly vulnerable woman it’s all quite sickening. Good luck to the folk attending but a think they will be portrayed as terrorist lovers by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 9th Oct 2023 12:16pm)

It is mental the amount of delivery drivers recklessly flying over the place, always wonder these folk using expensive electric bikes how can they afford these? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 9th Oct 2023 12:20pm)

Bribe the dogs, treats usually win them over by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 31st Oct 2023 6:35am)

This makes sense, I always found it weird how some of these people where jumping around in bikes worth over a grand. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 31st Oct 2023 6:40am)

I have two friends that moved to Manchester a few years ago to live a new life with there other half’s. Both very eager to get back but both families can’t afford to rent/buy property in Glasgow where they once lived. To the op for me the Winning part is having Loch Lomand area / Edinburgh all within easy travel distance that you can explore during your days off. Compared to Manchester, the nicer spots to visit aren’t so many by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 31st Oct 2023 6:48am)

Bear or pepper spray them, then smack them with your household weapon of choice. Brings back memories my gran living two floors up, her area had mad folk who’d climb up the drain pipes to get into houses. She would always say anyone at her window will be shoved back out it and police told they must have slipped. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 31st Oct 2023 6:56am)

Thanks everyone, I am more reassured that at least I can order one on the day and get to the family. Might stay with them the night and see what public transports available following day. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 10th Nov 2023 8:47am)

Noticed lots of social media post about this missing boy, hope he gets home and gets things sorted. Such a difficult time being a teenager. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 13th Nov 2023 11:18am)

Nice to hear a tourist getting help from the police, hope your bank resolved things quickly and the rest of your stay is pleasant by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 13th Nov 2023 11:16am)

If only Hamas allowed the Palestinian people to move freely and not use them as human shields. The hate and anger I have saw within small groups in these marches is frightening, the demonstrators have been marching for what 4/5 weeks maybe more? What have they achieved? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Mon 13th Nov 2023 11:23am)

Worked with them good few years back, great work place and plenty of banter. Get the appointments in and booked alls good. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 18th Nov 2023 3:16pm)

Do you have a driving licence? You can get to say for example Heathrow for a quid then just get tube Hire car companies at Glasgow airport allow you to take there cars/vans back down south, you pay £1 You’ll need space on your card for the excess so just don’t crash etc https://www.driiveme.co.uk/?partnerId=97&partnerId=97&gclid=CjwKCAiAx_GqBhBQEiwAlDNAZlHwDdQHwAkidPNmVYLNZvcYQLF2p1oejCj6ZEa-wn_WgjTb8HF1MxoCLfQQAvD_BwE by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 21st Nov 2023 9:29am)

They move electric cars, I took a Volvo polestar to Heathrow from Glasgow and didn’t have to stop or charge it Paid £1 Saw family down there and friends then sadly had to pay £46 for a flight back. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Tue 21st Nov 2023 12:16pm)

Seeing things like this about cash they have is what worries me with charities. Naturally it’s volunteers cooking and feeding folk but does the “bosses” take a wage? If so anyone able to put figures down? by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 23rd Nov 2023 12:57am)

Slaters would be my first call at least they will measure you and if they can’t help use those measurements and buy from jacamo online by Yer_maw_loves_it (Thu 23rd Nov 2023 1:31pm)

Tollcross area around the park is fine, good bus choices to city centre too Some parts maybe not so good if you’re a car owner. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 24th Nov 2023 8:56am)

The salavation army on Tollcross road usually do everyone’s welcome Xmas dinner on the day so folk who are alone etc can be out by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sun 26th Nov 2023 5:58pm)

Last year I was working 2 months away at a time, when winter came am 2 floors up in modern block I left heating on a timer, used Alexa for lights and had the little indoor amazon cameras set up. Had no parcels due for deliveries etc so nothing ever left at door. Neighbour next door had keys in case of water or fire emergency Never had a problem. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Sat 2nd Dec 2023 3:03pm)

I presume you will perhaps be hiring from sixt, they will have your flight number and will give you the chance to take the car. They all share counters in one small building so maybe that would close up but round the corner they all have small cabins. For peace of mind email the station just so they know your on the flight. by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 8th Dec 2023 3:09pm)

Enterprise should do similar for you by Yer_maw_loves_it (Fri 8th Dec 2023 3:42pm)
