  • Don’t forgot about her posing with her house keys as a weapon for likes (which ultimately earns her sponsorship and money) when poor Sarah Everard was murdered. The post is still up. I unfollowed her after that. by babybell69 (Sun 9th Jan 2022 11:59am)
  • Came here to recommend rcade! by babybell69 (Mon 21st Mar 2022 10:42am)
  • I used to be mates with Natalia and Greg who at the time ran We Love To Boogie and other vintage shops in Charing Cross. I stopped hanging out with them because of the excessive drug taking in that group. I had a baby not long after and had to get away from that scene. I am so glad to be away from that mob. AFAIK Natalia came up with the idea to redo the savoy centre, pitched the idea, got the funding and was basically in charge of the operation. by babybell69 (Wed 23rd Mar 2022 6:03pm)
  • Have you ever heard of Google? by babybell69 (Thu 24th Mar 2022 8:13am)

  • This is hilarious coming from someone who defends pedophiles in their post history. Oh and you are incredibly easy to identify from your photos 🤣 by babybell69 (Fri 24th Jun 2022 4:40pm)
  • Away and take more candid ‘professional’ photos of kids without their parents permission down the park, and stick them on your Twitter, mate. by babybell69 (Fri 24th Jun 2022 5:45pm)
  • It’s almost irrelevant as the resale tickets at the cheaper price are never available. Try and buy these and I bet it says there’s no more tickets at that price available. Frustrating as fuck. But to answer your question ‘Ticket’ just means ‘standing’ in this case. by babybell69 (Fri 24th Jun 2022 9:42pm)
  • Oh look it’s the pedo sympathiser again! Your comments are just awful. by babybell69 (Tue 28th Jun 2022 9:26am)
  • They don’t use builders sand. It’s kinetic sand that easily sticks together. and is easier to mould into shapes. I used to work in the White Company on Buchanan Street and used to see one guy setting up his pitch at 8am. The statue took him about 30mins and then he just brushed it for the rest of the day. One of my colleagues asked him to create something else other than dogs, but he said they’d tried other animals but dogs always pull in the most money. If you look at the statues every other day, like we had to, you’ll see they are all slightly different. No two dogs are the same. by babybell69 (Tue 28th Jun 2022 10:04am)
  • From the Daily Mail no less: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3373121/amp/So-MailOnline-uncovers-truth-sleeping-dogs-street-art-fad-s-not-mould-sight.html by babybell69 (Tue 28th Jun 2022 3:25pm)
  • Make a police report. Spitting is actually considered assault. You also don’t know if they got picked up later on for doing the sane thing or maybe someone else got a better description and your statement would be additional evidence. In the kindest possible way, you really need to report crime if you want something done about it. by babybell69 (Tue 28th Jun 2022 9:59pm)
  • DELETED Yes. Of course, lots of times. It’s awkward because I’ve known him for a very long time. We had a friendly relationship before I moved in next door. A lot has happened since then, and as a woman living on my own, I don’t really feel comfortable confronting him. When drugs and drink are involved to the extent they are with him, civil conversation is impossible. by babybell69 (Sat 2nd Jul 2022 2:04pm)
  • DELETED When I’ve spoken to the council, they have told me to phone the police if it’s bad enough, and that will go towards the official ‘log’ of his behaviour. I have only phoned the police when the situation has been violent - not for noise etc. and yeah the police don’t do anything. The ideal situation would be for him to sort himself out and continue living there but I know that’s not as easy as it sounds. If he is just moved somewhere else, he’ll just become someone else’s problem and nothing will be rectified. But I’m just at the end of my tether. From the minute I wake up till the minute I fall asleep, I’m on edge and very anxious. by babybell69 (Sat 2nd Jul 2022 2:12pm)
  • The neighbour on his other side is a 90 year old who is deaf and never leaves her house so I don’t think she’s all that bothered. My other neighbours complain about him, but again I don’t think they’re that bothered because they are that bit further away from him and don’t share walls or a garden. I think out of all my neighbours, I am the only person who WFH so they are out for most of the day and miss a lot of the trouble. It’s a very small cul-de-sac so i think most people on the street don’t even know anything is going on, unless they live in the few houses on either side of his. by babybell69 (Sat 2nd Jul 2022 2:17pm)

  • The council shouldn’t be solely responsible for the place looking like a trashfest. Just put your shite in the fucking bin and recycle more. by babybell69 (Wed 17th Aug 2022 3:04pm)
  • I was a teenage mum and my kid is now 24. Sure I missed out on some girls nights out and holidays, but I gained some amazing memories and holidays with my son which are far more important to me. My son is my greatest achievement and I’m so proud of him, and myself! I’m still young enough that I retrained recently and now have a job that I love, so your parents probably are still young enough to experience things they may have put to the side while they were raising you too! I love my son more than anything and wouldn’t trade him for a different life. I am sure your parents feel the same way and would be horrified if they thought you didn’t know that. Speak to them, or speak to a friend, colleague, a helpline - you can even message me! by babybell69 (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:18am)
  • 100% by babybell69 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 12:21pm)
  • It is owned by Richard Davies (abandon ship) and his wife Amanda. Avoid like the plague. McMerry just transferred the lease to them when Richard stopped working at the abandon ship bar. There was an interesting thread in here about The Last Rodeo and Richard’s constant cultural appropriation from a Mexican’s pov. Don’t know if it’s still up. by babybell69 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 12:20pm)
  • You’re splitting hairs mate. Richard owned Abandon Ship and he was a co-owner of various bars with Phill from McMerry. They went their separate ways after they got outed for treating staff terribly. Richard now owns Last Rodeo (formerly Luchador which was a McMerry x AS bar) with his wife Amanda. It’s literally owned by the abandon ship owner. by babybell69 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 12:27pm)
  • I guess it’s not a non-Mexican’s person right to say what is culturally offensive and what is not, to their people. So maybe wind your neck back in. by babybell69 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 9:33am)
  • Buy a pack of really good quality cloths and then you can wash them and re-use. by babybell69 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 11:30am)
  • Maybe for a single person living alone, that income would be doable. I’m a single parent and just got a pay increase to 35k and the only difference now is that I can afford all my minimum payments for the debt I accrued when I was earning less. by babybell69 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 11:35am)
  • Wouldn’t you get income support on top though? by babybell69 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 1:58pm)
  • I meant that if you’re living as a couple with only that income coming in, that would be harder. 21k will be supplemented with benefits no? I’m sure I got some when I earned that salary but might be different as I was a single parent. by babybell69 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 1:57pm)
  • Not sure why we’re getting downvoted. It’s true. by babybell69 (Wed 24th Aug 2022 8:56am)

  • Do you also buy puppies from puppy mills? You’re part of the problem if you know they are exploiting staff and you don’t do anything about it. If they are investigated they will have to pay these students you’re so worried about, more! You’d be doing them a favour. by babybell69 (Mon 5th Sep 2022 6:28pm)
  • There are different minimum wages for different ages though. If you’re only 18-20 then min wage is £6.83 by babybell69 (Mon 5th Sep 2022 6:25pm)
  • Do you know the forwarding address for your neighbour or their first and last name. The council should be able to track them down to make them pay for uplift. by babybell69 (Mon 5th Sep 2022 7:34pm)
  • That sucks. You should be able to report it as fly-tipping and they will uplift it. by babybell69 (Mon 5th Sep 2022 10:05pm)

  • Violence breeds violence. Never the answer with kids. by babybell69 (Mon 19th Sep 2022 1:29am)
  • Engaging with your kid, talking to them, having dinner together, doing things together as a family - doesn’t need to cost money - could be just going for a walk or visiting a free admission museum, encouraging empathy, discussing current affairs with then, discussing popular culture with them, finding common ground like a hobby that you can share, talking to them about and encouraging their own interests. As a parent you can join the PTA, community action groups, volunteer and set up clubs for children/teens to keep them off the streets causing trouble. In my own experience as a former teenager and a current parent of a 20 something, doing things as a family, and getting your child involved in a hobby has proved to provide a path away from negative behaviour. If your child does take part in negative destructive behaviour, violence is not the answer. Talk to your child and ask them why those behaviours have happened. Is it boredom? Are they angry? Are they sad? Is it peer pressure? Most kids are bored and find a sense of community within the group of friends they are engaging in these behaviours with, because they don’t have that bond elsewhere. by babybell69 (Mon 19th Sep 2022 1:30pm)
  • Of course, but you asked for some ‘answers’. You can’t moan about me not giving an ‘answer’ and then slate me for trying. These are things that worked for me and my child. But you can have the ‘perfect’ family life and still rebel with negative behaviour. You are imagining my tone. I’m being condescending or anything like that. I’m just saying what worked for me and others I know. It might not work for others, but it’s a suggestion which is better than using violence against your child. by babybell69 (Mon 19th Sep 2022 3:01pm)
  • I don’t know why you’re having a go at me. You said I didn’t have an answer, I offered my answer as I thought it might help someone. If not, that’s fine, I’m just a parent trying my best like a lot of people out there and I’ve made more mistakes than I’d like to mention. by babybell69 (Mon 19th Sep 2022 3:29pm)
  • Dude take a day off. by babybell69 (Mon 19th Sep 2022 11:02pm)

  • I don’t know why people don’t just lie and say they’re not students. If you have the money to pay, why is it the landlord’s business how you get it. by babybell69 (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 1:21pm)
  • “Non violent”. Smashing up windows with a hammer with passers-by around is pretty violent imo. I wonder what he’d have done if someone had intervened. by babybell69 (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 1:25pm)
  • I don’t give a shit about a bank’s windows. I’m more worried about a hammer wielding maniac when there’s folk around. If I were to see that in person, I would definitely be scared not knowing initially it was a “non-violent” protester. I can imagine someone trying to intervene, not to save the windows, but to prevent them from hurting anyone. by babybell69 (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 5:13pm)
  • Oops! I didn’t even see that! Will edit now. by babybell69 (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 5:10pm)
  • I’ve never been asked this in all my years of renting. Rented 3 places in the last 6 years and private landlords have never asked. It sure about letting agencies though as I think some run credit checks etc. by babybell69 (Thu 22nd Sep 2022 5:16pm)

  • Just be wary - any junk removal company that will do it for less will probably be fly tipping it. There was a guy in my boy who’s set up a business and was undercutting the council and everyone rise to move beds, sofas etc, and he caught on cctv dumping the stuff on wasteland. by babybell69 (Tue 27th Sep 2022 10:34pm)

  • That’s not a good sign by babybell69 (Mon 5th Dec 2022 10:52pm)
  • The comments on that thread are pretty racist. Im shocked. I had no idea that is who was running it. He sounds terrible. by babybell69 (Mon 5th Dec 2022 10:51pm)
  • Ok that’s fair. I hadn’t heard about his rep and cultural appropriation. Reading the other thread now. by babybell69 (Mon 5th Dec 2022 10:55pm)
  • I know the shelf lol. Awkward to sit at that bit. by babybell69 (Mon 5th Dec 2022 11:09pm)
  • I had no idea. I wish I had known as I live round the corner and used to go in quite often with my dog. There’s a lot of negative info about him online. Didn’t even know he had a clothes shop. by babybell69 (Wed 7th Dec 2022 1:01am)
  • The epitome of being a thick cunt is being unnecessarily abusive “anonymously” while also posting personal photos in other threads which are easily discoverable elsewhere online…along with your real name and place of employment 🤣 by babybell69 (Sat 10th Dec 2022 9:23am)
  • Aye I’m looking at my 4am sleep-deprived post in the cold light of day. by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 5:03pm)
  • No. There’s the usual limit of holiday days. Which is why their 4 day week thing doesn’t make sense at all. by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 5:01pm)
  • Thanks! Fingers crossed! by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 5:42pm)
  • Just another bit of ick. They describe their employees as the ‘wolfpack’. 🥴 by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 10:22pm)
  • Just saw this on their website: “PLEASE NOTE: we are currently unable to offer interviews to previous applicants or employees” Why tho? I couldn’t have applied even if I’d wanted to. Good to know for the next time I’m having an existential crisis in the middle of the night. by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 10:27pm)
  • Yes! They describe themselves as a ‘marketing agency’ when they are a telesales call centre outfit. The job I went for was a Digital Marketing Associate and the job was cold calling…which isn’t digital marketing! by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 10:25pm)
  • Please let the SSPCA know. I can’t imagine how distressing it would be for the original owner to phone for an update to only to be told that they never received the cat! The original owner might need closure. by babybell69 (Sun 15th Jan 2023 11:42pm)
  • Are you on Facebook? (Probs not coz you’re 21) but there’s a good group called something like ‘Glasgow bartending) and there’s lots of jobs posted in there. They also tell you which places to avoid! by babybell69 (Tue 17th Jan 2023 12:06am)
  • Do you ask everyone you meet? I’m willing to bet most people who own or rent a property be contents insurance. If they don’t, then that’s just plain stupid. by babybell69 (Fri 20th Jan 2023 6:22pm)
  • Cheap cctv camera and put up a faux GCC sign saying that people who litter will be fined £500. by babybell69 (Sat 21st Jan 2023 12:14am)
  • Please don’t do anything to his car or put a sign on it. Taxis have dash cams and cctv in them. Don’t do anything that you could get into trouble for legally, or that he would personally retaliate for. Shop him into GCC, install a cheap cctv pointing at where his taxi is parked, to get footage. by babybell69 (Sat 21st Jan 2023 12:17am)
  • You can hate fireworks and not be against multiculturalism. by babybell69 (Sun 22nd Jan 2023 5:34pm)
  • I don’t mind as much when non-white cultures set off fireworks as you know it’ll just be one night only. Diwali and Chinese NY fireworks don’t start and finish 2 weeks either side of the date. by babybell69 (Sun 22nd Jan 2023 5:36pm)

  • You can buy a video doorbell on Amazon for £50. It acts as a deterrent as thieves recognise them. And if you do get broken into, at least you might have some footage. by babybell69 (Wed 25th Jan 2023 9:21am)
  • I got mine because the same group of annoying kids kept banging my door and running away stressing out my dog. Showed the footage to one of this kids’ mums in the queue at Tesco (yeah I’m a grass) and hasn’t happened since! by babybell69 (Wed 25th Jan 2023 9:34am)
  • A lot of misinformation here in the comments. Phone the council and ask them to put you on a repayment plan and to set up ur direct debit for council tax moving forward. No need to contact the debt recovery people. If you know you’re going to struggle paying your council tax future payments, tell them. You may be entitled to a discount or benefits.

  • What I really miss from video stores like Blockbuster is I used to go in every month and they’d let me choose from all their posters and life size cardboard cut-outs. The cinema used to be good too, but I heard the chains auction them on eBay. by babybell69 (Wed 8th Feb 2023 6:18pm)
  • I took my son there 20+ years ago and remember having to pay because I thought it was going to be free. I didn’t bring cash and they didn’t have a card machine! My dad had to drive up with cash for me! Worth the money as we spent a good few hours there and kept the wee man entertained! by babybell69 (Sun 12th Feb 2023 9:55pm)
  • My dad was a teacher in the 70s and gave the belt to my aunt (this was before he met my mum). This is, of course, a story brought up every Christmas! When it got banned, he brought the belt home and it was kicking about our house for years. Me and my siblings used to chase each other around the garden and whip each other with it. We were talking about it recently and he said he felt terrible looking back but all the teachers did it and nobody questioned it. He said he used the belt exactly 22 times and after he had his first baby (my brother) he wouldn’t use it again. He is a very passive guy and never once laid a hand on any of us. by babybell69 (Sun 12th Feb 2023 11:39pm)
  • Just like the death penalty. There would be no murders if that was a successful deterrent. Violence doesn’t solve anything. by babybell69 (Mon 13th Feb 2023 12:06am)
  • You’ve totally lost me with this. While I agree that it was offered (by some teachers) as an alternative to lines (see my post above), this was 50+ years ago and sadly a sign of the times. There will be plenty of people who will have been traumatised by abuse from teachers at school. There’s no excuse for you to be smacking your dog in 2023. by babybell69 (Mon 13th Feb 2023 12:17am)
  • My dad was a teacher in the 70s and he said parents never complained when their kids got the belt. The teachers, parents and kids all thought it was normal because it had been that ways for decades before. Looking at it through today’s lens isn’t necessarily fair. That said knocking someone out with a cricket bat is insane. My dad said there were always teachers who took it too far. by babybell69 (Mon 13th Feb 2023 12:34am)
  • Aren’t you worried about your dog getting hand-shy? My friend used to bop her dog on the nose whenever it acted up or growled. Her dog ended up getting fed up of the nose-bopping and bit her. by babybell69 (Mon 13th Feb 2023 1:02am)

  • My parents live just down from where it happened. It’s the same guys who speed around the area on their stupid, dangerous dirt bikes. Most if not, all motorcyclists have proper lights as they aren’t crazy. The dirt bike wanks are a real problem up there. It’s kids too 14-16 years old.

  • JSL Plumbing did ours. I got a new Vokera boiler for around £1400. I didn’t do this with JSL, but when I was with my ex, he asked the plumber if we could pay cash to swerve the VAT. He saved us a whack of cash that time. I didn’t think to do it this time round when I got my new boiler. 🤦🏻‍♀️ by babybell69 (Thu 2nd Mar 2023 7:29pm)

  • Honestly? You could probably get away with not paying. The man in the flat above me refuses to pay his and everyone rise just pays a tiny bit more and the work still gets done.
