Nowhere in Glasgow suffers from the same poor hygiene and rubbish disposal as Govanhill. Its fucking awful over there. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 17th Dec 2020 12:24am)

Canny help but feel you've no seen much of the extended areas of Glasgow if you think that's the worst. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 17th Dec 2020 12:27am)

Aye ye can. Bring yer boots. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 11th Aug 2021 12:30am)

But the post just mentions they live in Woodlands, not that they're solely looking in woodlands. There aren't 3 housing associations which cover that area. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 11th Aug 2021 1:47pm)

I don't know why you're being downvoted for telling the truth. If another guy calls you doll, he's patronising you. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 23rd Aug 2021 11:09pm)

If a guy is calling you doll, he's pretty much insulting you. This comments section is mad. Lived here my full life and to a man, I don't know anyone who'd take the term doll as anything else. Half the people in these comments aren't Glaswegian, comparing it to 'pet' from the Geordies when really, it's nothing of the sort. If a builder in a roll shop said to me "gon hand me a napkin doll", I'd be like fuck this guy. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 23rd Aug 2021 11:13pm)

Your input is useless. The guy was insulting OP, if he was a complete stranger. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 23rd Aug 2021 11:44pm)

You were most likely insulted. Being called doll by another man is a sly dig, trying to hint at your femininity and noise you up. It's not similar to love or pet like others have suggested, as it's entirely female. If this guy was a stranger, it was an insult. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 23rd Aug 2021 11:47pm)

DELETED Just because someone insulted OP, doesn't mean I'd give a fuck personally if someone called me doll. I've been called worse by bigger pricks than you. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 24th Aug 2021 7:44am)

DELETED Mate, I am gay. Shagging guys makes me gay. I am fine with that. I am not offended by it in the slightest. That's not the point, we're talking about the intent from the person using the term. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 24th Aug 2021 3:38pm)

DELETED If you've never heard it used that way then I can only assume you've lived a fairly sheltered life. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 24th Aug 2021 4:10pm)

True. But calling someone out on Reddit for 'not being a nice person' when they just want to eat their dinner is a bit daft. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 8th Sep 2021 2:55pm)

Dressing Carlsberg up fancy as a Danish Pilsner. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 9th Sep 2021 11:42am)

It's mad that if you mention racially motivated attacks in this sub, you get downvoted and people denying their existence. South side has been full of them for years. Obviously the more Asians on the area increases the likelihood of Asian crime, but to deny some of the assaults are racially motivated is daft. It seems people just want to think of their area as how they want it to be and not how it is. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 10th Sep 2021 11:50am)

Surely we can aw decide ourselves what's "a better use of everyone's time". If a post is a waste of time, it's easy enough to scroll past and not comment on it. If anything, it's wasting more of your time deleting it. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 28th Sep 2021 3:24pm)

It's amazing they spent so much money on upgrading most stations, which were fine anyway, when all people ever wanted was money to be spent on a better service. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 27th Oct 2021 12:54pm)

True, bit now most stations have been 'upgraded', which they spent millions on and you still can't access in a wheelchair. Nor can you realistically bring on a pram. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 27th Oct 2021 1:32pm)

Sunday past 6pm........ With the point of the post, I thought that was obvious. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 27th Oct 2021 1:31pm)

The reason is cost. I'm pointing out that they spent a lot of money on a facelift of the stations, when the money would have been better spent on improving the service. Don't worry, I know that complaining about it on a Reddit forum is not going to incite change. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 27th Oct 2021 1:40pm)

That's just bullshit. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 27th Oct 2021 4:05pm)

Of course you need maintenance, but that as a reason is bullshit. They don't have to do it Sunday evenings after 6. I've mates who work on the railways and they do maintenance overnight, the subway could follow the same method. Do you really believe that they just push this aside during the busiest period of the year at Christmas? Or they won't be carrying out maintenance over cop26? Of course not, they adapt to suit the later timetable. The guy above is right, you just love an argument. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 27th Oct 2021 5:56pm)

I somehow ended up in Coatbridge once and had to walk back to Glasgow cause no taxi would take me. Took like 5 fucking hours. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 28th Oct 2021 12:23pm)

Eh man by blu_rhubarb (Thu 28th Oct 2021 10:48pm)

This guy has a point tbf. You're not struggling in a £950pm flat in Giffnock. A lot of Glaswegians would love to be in that position, and wouldn't "take it for granted". Fucking hell. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 29th Oct 2021 5:48pm)

Also, check out the flying duck, they often have awesome club nights and are fully vegan. Stereo, Mono, 13th note all vegan staples in the city centre. Puti Vegan Cafe does amazing food too. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 29th Oct 2021 8:23pm)

I get that but sleeping on the streets or your mum's floor is far from an option when you're making over £1,500 a month. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 5th Nov 2021 10:49pm)

Just accept you were the asshole here and try to do better. You came here thinking everyone would be on your side and can't take it that everyone thinks you're a dick. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 6th Nov 2021 8:03am)

Really? Stop eating meat and dairy products would help. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 6th Nov 2021 10:01am)

The guy is asking what he himself can do. Alot of those emissions come from animal agriculture and if the demand isn't there, then obviously there is a decrease in emissions. Yeah it's been done since the dawn of time but no t in the bastardised way it's done now. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 7th Nov 2021 10:48am)

It is a shitehole though. And if you work in Glasgow 9am the train is 7 or 8 quid for a return, for what is a 10 minute journey. Hardly "costs fuck all". by blu_rhubarb (Tue 16th Nov 2021 6:34pm)

"it has an M&S and Holland & Barrett" 😂 Fair enough I missed the part about op being a student and the travel therefore being cheaper. Sure there are shiteholes in Glasgow, it's all relative. But for me that doesn't raise the profile of Paisley because there's poor areas in Glasgow. Each to their own. It's a valid suggestion, I just canny stand the place. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 16th Nov 2021 10:50pm)

Regardless, Pedos are definitely a minority. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 4:59pm)

Honestly, do many people have had the same thought as you or have already made the move. It's making Glasgow impossible for Glaswegian first time buyers or even rental. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 5:29pm)

It's really frustrating personally, and seeing all my friends struggle. I'm all for immigration but this situation is not the same. I doubt OP or anyone else considering the move will take this into account. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 6:09pm)

You put it better than I could and I couldn't agree more. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 7:03pm)

Not particularly, no. it's not as if people are moving to new homes in these areas of Glasgow. They're pushing out the people who already live here because they can no longer afford to live here. That's the bigger picture. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 10:38pm)

Why does that ruffle you? It helps put in perspective your situation, as you have used mine to further your own point. How does it mean people are paying more taxes? People living in Glasgow are being pushed into Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and further afield because people from London fancy a change of scenery. You aren't paying additional taxes, you're paying the same taxes as the guy who can no longer afford to live in Glasgow. Your point about opening jobs in this climate is rather moot as more and more positions are becoming remote. Which is also a reason we've seen so many people move from all over the UK to Glasgow as they don't need a base for work. You say I'm grumpy, I get why it comes across like that. But tell me, who are the right people to take it out on and why are you the wrong people? by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 10:57pm)

I was referring to the fact you were ruffled I had looked at one of your most recent posts. You're not getting it. 'the larger the population of a city' - the population isn't increasing because of people moving into private let's and buying property. They're just taking the opportunity from local people who have to then move elsewhere. If you have a look throughout this sub for the past year, you'll see nothing but people struggling to find somewhere to live. You aren't increasing the population, you're replacing it. And fuck off with your condescending tone, I make a decent living and am content with that. You might want to move to Glasgow, but a lot of people in Glasgow will hold it against you. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 17th Nov 2021 11:16pm)

Is it aye? by blu_rhubarb (Thu 18th Nov 2021 1:05pm)

Interesting. Over the years I've chatted to plenty of homeless people who have all told me that roughly £20 is required per night for accommodation. Is that true? Or are you saying they're offered it regardless? by blu_rhubarb (Thu 18th Nov 2021 9:05pm)

Aye, I don't mind them at a suitable time. Relying on being in the mood to do it every day as your made of transport to work is a completely different thing. Each to their own I guess. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 6th Dec 2021 1:48pm)

Why should we help you make money off Glaswegians who need a place to live, at an inflated rate to line your pockets?

There is no chance you will be renting your flat in Glasgow for £500pm. As you claim, the situation 'back home' is dire, if you could get £800pm, you would chance it. Go invest elsewhere. Or do what you want. Just don't expect people in a city where there's a housing crisis to help you . Finally, you know fuck all about how much I've spent on toilet paper. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 15th Dec 2021 2:29pm)

I missed this since you have edited since your initial reply. It effects me as someone who has been stuck renting a property, who is trying to buy, but there's a shortage of properties for sale because of pricks like you buying to let. So you're not only targeting students, or temporary professionals. Your plan affects anyone in Glasgow not currently living in property they own. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 15th Dec 2021 2:33pm)

Good chance you'll end up being exploitive, and learn to enjoy the rewards and soon enough, it'll snowball. Are you gonna charge rent at the same rate as your mortgage? by blu_rhubarb (Mon 17th Jan 2022 2:33pm)

It wasn't entirely serious. You and I both know there is only one real reason why someone would become a landlord in a situation like this, and that is profit. You can dress it up however you want but profit is the bottom line. To me, the fact OP mentions that he may have the opportunity to buy before it goes to market all but confirms he spots an opportunity to make money here. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 17th Jan 2022 4:51pm)

Would it have been the kelvingrove tunnel that held raves circa ten years ago? I know they had been going longer than that too . I went to a couple though was never sober enough to remember where I entered the tunnel. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 25th Jan 2022 11:23pm)

Sorry, other side of the city for me. I've added area to the description but cheers for the suggestion. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 26th Jan 2022 11:04am)

I don't know why my comment is being downvoted, Friday night is clearly more likely to have a surge in price than a Tuesday night. Has anyone here actually been in a taxi recently, at the weekend after 7 in Glasgow? It's a fucking nightmare. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 26th Jan 2022 11:22pm)

Where's the school of art library these days? The old one was a real gem. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 8th Feb 2022 9:26am)

There are, but they charge 3 times the price. I had a guy trying to sell me a pixies ticket for £120 quid even though they'd been onstage for 20 minutes. I was trying to explain its either face value or he risks no one taking it and he still wouldn't budge. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 16th Feb 2022 7:02pm)

True, but fuck giving them a penny over face value. Contented myself that I'd seen them before and would see them again. And I have since. So fuck those tout bastards. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 16th Feb 2022 9:13pm)

I think the mistake you made there was going to see Ed Sheeran. Obviously you're in to him enough to go see him, but would you really be expecting a crazy atmosphere? It's not gonna be comparable to Slayer. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 21st Feb 2022 1:19pm)

Fair enough, I've only been once myself cause I think it is a pish venue. It would take someone I'm unlikely to see again to play it before I went back. It's been good to see a bit of a resurgence of gigs at the Barras. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 21st Feb 2022 1:44pm)

Exactly. Look at Saudi Arabia's attacks on Yemen, or China's complete genocide of Uyghur Muslims. No one seems to give a shit about these situations. The west have strong relations with China and Saudia Arabia and rely on them for business. So our governments look the other way. Russia have been pulled from several sports competitions, the eurovision and other sanctions. Israel has been bombing Palestinian civilians for years yet they still got to host the eurovision the other year. Why is that? It's horrible what's going on in Ukraine, but it's not exactly unfamiliar. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 1st Mar 2022 3:23pm)

The academy's always been down on Eglinton st. You're thinking of the ABC, which was just latterly owned by o2. And as mentioned, the roof caved in years ago in the art school fire. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 6th Mar 2022 12:22pm)

I don't see the point in having the Uber app on my phone any more. Theres always a surge on prices and if not, no one will take my fare. It searches for a driver for about 15 minutes before I cancel, try again and what do you know, the demand has made the prices surge. I suspect the drivers do this on purpose. Last week I was offered a taxi from bath street to partick for £25 quid. Of course I decided to walk it instead. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 8th Mar 2022 11:18am)

It's funny you say that, because I live fairly central and of I try to get a taxi that's a five minute journey, I get knocked back because they want longer trips for bigger fares. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 8th Mar 2022 11:21am)

I dunno man, I wanted a taxi to take me home from Tesco at half 7 midweek which is usually a fiver and they were asking for £18. There was no football on or any other mass event I could imagine causing a surge in price. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 8th Mar 2022 5:20pm)

I'm never going outwith that city centre/west end perimeter and their service is still shite. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 8th Mar 2022 10:29pm)

With people able to work from home now, people have been moving to Glasgow in droves from London and other expensive parts of England now they can work from wherever they like. You see it in this sub a lot. There's only so many properties to rent in Glasgow and now these people are competing with the students and the competitive market that you experienced, which has only grown year on year since 2016. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 9th Mar 2022 8:27pm)

Where are you moving from? The real driving force is the shift in work patterns forced by the pandemic. So many people can work from home and are not required in office. Therefore, so many people have moved from down south to live in Glasgow, a city they see as cheaper than where they've moved from. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 9th Mar 2022 8:30pm)

I mean, I know I've seen your username prop up frequently in these sort of threads stating you've recently moved from England. Sure there are people doing it, plenty of them have posted on this sub and it's a niche corner of the internet in the UK/Glasgow. I'm not sure what you want me to provide as evidence. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 9th Mar 2022 10:30pm)

To be honest, it's been more than just a couple. I'm not basing it on 3-5 people mentioning here that they've moved from England. There have been plenty. Again, I'm not just basing it on Reddit comments, but real life interactions. Of course, me telling you I have a new neighbour who's moved from London, or spoken to people on nights out could all just be fabricated to suit my argument. But my experiences and those of people I know, are the basis of my claim. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 10th Mar 2022 1:46pm)

What is your/their living situation? Are the privately rented flats? Housing association? by blu_rhubarb (Fri 11th Mar 2022 6:49pm)

You're likely on to plums, best bet would be a private investigator. You could search the land register, but it looks old enough to be on the sasine register and if it is, the owners contact address is gonna be about 30 years old and quite possibly no longer current. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 11th Mar 2022 11:07pm)

Definitely scraping. & That's if you live in shared accommodation. I did it years ago and it was tough, prices on rent and everything have just gone up and up since. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 15th Mar 2022 8:55am)

Ye shouldn't need the torch on your phone when going for a pish. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 4th Apr 2022 5:46pm)

The thing is, the landscape has completely changed. You're not just competing with people from Glasgow. With remote working, you're competing with people from all over the UK. A crash or slowing down of the market may not come as people with higher salaries moving into the area can afford these properties. You're more likely to see locals being forced into renting or moving outwith the city unless they have some strong financial standing. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 24th Jun 2022 11:45pm)

I don't know it well enough, hence why I didn't attach any descriptors like shitehole tbf, I felt a lot more people can vouch for it. Why it's a lot cheaper than Glasgow though, should be pretty obvious. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 28th Jul 2022 7:13pm)

Suissi is my favourite restaurant in Glasgow. You should check it out. Over in Partick on Dumbarton road. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 29th Jul 2022 12:19am)

I'm late to the party. Where did you end up? by blu_rhubarb (Sun 31st Jul 2022 12:32am)

Not Glasgow, but Rage are playing Edinburgh on 24th August. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 9:43am)

As it stands, landlords currently get reduced rates on vacant properties by blu_rhubarb (Sun 7th Aug 2022 9:18am)

Aye, but this is r/Glasgow by blu_rhubarb (Sun 7th Aug 2022 12:35pm)

In Glasgow there's heavily discounted [rates](https://www.mygov.scot/non-domestic-rates-relief/reliefs-for-empty-or-newly-re-occupied-properties#:~:text=Empty%20Property%20Relief,a%2010%25%20discount%20after%20that.). Are there exceptions? Probably. But it doesn't negate the point. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 7th Aug 2022 1:14pm)

Usually about half 10, curfew 11 I think by blu_rhubarb (Mon 8th Aug 2022 6:06pm)

That's the thing though, it's not costing the energy companies much more to produce energy, they're posting successive record profits per quarter. Over £9bn a quarter in profits and our prices are still gonna go up in October. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 9th Aug 2022 1:03am)

Another good tip, learn more than 4 songs. As someone who works on Buchanan Street it's painful hearing the same 4 or 5 songs being repeated over and over for hours. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 10th Aug 2022 1:13pm)

A lot going on there. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 24th Aug 2022 9:47pm)

Really? I always thought this was one of the worst in the city. Is it still hosted by that guy that hogs the stage? by blu_rhubarb (Wed 24th Aug 2022 9:56pm)

What area are you in that £430 is the going rate? by blu_rhubarb (Sun 28th Aug 2022 7:50am)

Aye, but Larkhall's not glasgow. You're far more likely to get a kicking walking about larkhall than Glasgow. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 28th Aug 2022 10:29pm)

People will claim it's not bad, it is. There are a couple of nice bits but even then you're quickly reminded of how shite is when you head to any of the shops. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 28th Aug 2022 10:26pm)

Honestly, I'd look elsewhere cause you're most likely on to plums in Glasgow. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 30th Aug 2022 7:39pm)

Honest question; why would the city benefit from trams given the high costs that are likely gonna be involved in bringing them back? by blu_rhubarb (Mon 5th Sep 2022 1:06pm)

Tbf, it is pretty clear what they mean on the rent front. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 5th Sep 2022 1:13pm)

The section up behind cowcaddens and into Maryhill is nice by blu_rhubarb (Wed 7th Sep 2022 4:05pm)

I meant the venue, the market has lost its shine but probably still worth a visit at least once. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 8th Sep 2022 9:43am)

lol what did they do to you? by blu_rhubarb (Mon 12th Sep 2022 11:08pm)

Taking effect from December I assume the correct notice will be given. Not that it'll stand. Also worth noting evictions will be banned. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 12th Sep 2022 11:14pm)

Reminds me of Duncan from Maryhill who walks around growling partick thistle chants loud as fuck at all times. He also howls at the moon. A lot. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 13th Sep 2022 10:59pm)

Aw man the palace is a shite hole. Megabar in Motherwell? I went once and got checked for a knife on the way in. That was a new experience. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 16th Sep 2022 9:23am)

DELETED I rented a room out via spareroom. The issue is, while there are several adverts, the response is overwhelming. I had 200 results within the first two hours of the post going up. I couldn't possibly reply to everyone. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 16th Sep 2022 7:29pm)

Get yerself some koka noodles. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 19th Sep 2022 12:48pm)

Better venues for local bands would be the flying duck, stereo/old hairdressers, the hug and pint, broadcast and sleazys. Tenement trail is a great festival and a fun way to see more of what the Glasgow music scene has to offer. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 25th Sep 2022 5:08pm)

Also consider this, there will be 100s of applicants per property, the landlord is most likely to choose an option that doesn't come with a pet as it's less risky, unfortunately. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 30th Sep 2022 4:37pm)

Bold as brass. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 2nd Oct 2022 8:35pm)

Naw, zero interest in going tbf. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 2nd Oct 2022 8:49pm)

Haha fucking hell. Calm down big man. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 3rd Oct 2022 10:12am)

Fuck, 26 isn't even old. What are your mates in to now? by blu_rhubarb (Sun 9th Oct 2022 1:53pm)

Children busking are the worst. I work on sauchiehall street and it's the kids with the amps blaring, often no instruments just singing shite bland songs into a mic for hours on end that are by far the worst offenders. They all sing the same songs too, and usually sing about 3 or 4 songs each on rotation for the duration they're there. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 13th Oct 2022 2:31pm)

Hahahaha. "I am a progressive metal musician". by blu_rhubarb (Thu 13th Oct 2022 4:57pm)

You go to a pub in Glasgow by yourself, before you know it, you'll strike up a conversation with a stranger. Could be for better or worse, that's the gamble right enough. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 14th Oct 2022 10:00am)

Nowhere near enough to survive. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 17th Oct 2022 1:51pm)

Didn't think I'd need to add the /s tag in this sub. Fuck sake. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 17th Oct 2022 2:05pm)

Yeah, I was kidding. We see posts like this often enough and it's ridiculous that any OP would think this isn't a salary they can live on. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 17th Oct 2022 2:29pm)

The way Glasgow is just now, I'd stay in Canada. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 24th Oct 2022 8:08am)

You know it's more than likely they're smiling at your cousin because they know damn well why she's there and they just don't want to take their bins out? by blu_rhubarb (Tue 25th Oct 2022 11:32am)

Really sold yourself here. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 25th Oct 2022 9:57pm)

Check out places like the Priory, old hairdressers, sleazys , hug and pint, broadcast, flying duck, bloc, stereo, mono and the 13th note . Will depend on what you're into, but you can't go wrong with those venues. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 27th Oct 2022 11:48pm)

I don't think it's hipsters, it's the insane lack of rental properties available in Glasgow pushing demand further afield into nearby places like Paisley. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 28th Oct 2022 8:13am)

Naw. I can only imagine Americans calling it that. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 28th Oct 2022 11:13am)

My basements free if you'll let me take some pictures of ya. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 28th Oct 2022 2:42pm)

As I've got older I've done it plenty of times. Don't mind it at all. Except sometimes in between bands it can feel loooong. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 29th Oct 2022 3:10pm)

What you got lined up? by blu_rhubarb (Sat 29th Oct 2022 3:16pm)

Buy a cheap bike. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 1st Nov 2022 12:53pm)

You'd also be right, the cheapest way is not to use it. The bike will still get him to Buchanan st though, unlike staying at home. It's a fair suggestion. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 1st Nov 2022 2:15pm)

Pish analogy really. OPs looking to get in to the city centre, how is suggesting a bike any different th the multitude of replies suggesting he gets a bus? Aye, walking is another fair suggestion. If he's looking to save money, there's obviously going to be a downside to that. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 1st Nov 2022 2:31pm)

It's not an argument to be won, there's your issue. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 1st Nov 2022 6:25pm)

Almost guaranteed a friend of a friend will be looking to sell one nearer the time for £50. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 4th Nov 2022 1:33pm)

Dunno what's more offensive, describing Pulp fans as an 'older crowd', or suggesting it'll be the least popular. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 4th Nov 2022 1:37pm)

Here's hoping. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 4th Nov 2022 2:50pm)

That's a bit disingenuous though innit. Pulp are pretty much only remembered for their 90s work, and they're no playing anything older than that. I wasn't being serious in my original post, I know there's gonna be plenty of 40+ in the crowd. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 4th Nov 2022 3:58pm)

Eh, the Bristol Bar this coming Sunday. Take the family. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 10th Nov 2022 11:36pm)

ScotRail was still shite 5 years ago. Also, if you were a conductor, would you confront people with shit behaviour? by blu_rhubarb (Wed 16th Nov 2022 8:45am)

Ok. Next time you see someone being a dick on the train, you confront them about it. Doesn't matter if the conductor approaches them, attitudes here are so that people will most likely double down and refuse to cooperate. Conductors can't physically throw people off the train or they'll be open to assault charges. It's not worth the pay cheque. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 16th Nov 2022 11:35am)

Aye, as if the transport police have enough resources to chase down every roaster that's loudly playing tik tok videos on the train. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 16th Nov 2022 1:27pm)

Are you suggesting that one guy drinking a can of beer on the train is just gonna start shouting? You're generalising because you don't like groups of drunks. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 3rd Dec 2022 11:24pm)

Not to mention that it's legal in Edinburgh just an hour away. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 3rd Dec 2022 11:21pm)

Nah, you're just full of shite pal. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 3rd Dec 2022 11:36pm)

But that's just it. You're equating anyone who has a single drink on a train to a "buckfast swilling dickhead". It's your attitude that needs adjusting. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 3rd Dec 2022 11:44pm)

How is anyone on Reddit gonna know the way your building works? You couldn't even buzz them in, you seem like the useless one here... by blu_rhubarb (Sun 4th Dec 2022 3:07pm)

If I was looking for something specific and searched the sub, it wouldn't have crossed my mind to look there.

The switch over from Sasine began early to mid nineties. But if the property has been purchased in the last 20 years, there should be a new title on the register, complete with map. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 16th Dec 2022 6:15pm)

Ah, I see. I should have read the rest before commenting. You can go on Zoopla and look at sold prices if you enter your postcode, that'll tell you the sale date of neighbouring properties. You could possibly locate a neighbouring property there sold post 2015. Trusting your solicitor is also a good option! by blu_rhubarb (Fri 16th Dec 2022 6:26pm)

But why? If I Admit in Gregg's that I'm gonna gift the sausage roll I'm about to buy to a homeless person, should they refuse the sale? Once the sale has been made it's none of their business. Only one person is getting to use that ticket. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 18th Dec 2022 12:08am)

Also worth noting if the rent arrears are so excessive, that it's not the current cost of living crisis that is the major component, an eviction can still be carried out. A notice of proceedings only needs 28 days for eviction after service. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 24th Dec 2022 2:02pm)

As much as I miss the ABC, the resurgence of the Barras has been great for gigs and arguably wouldn't have happened without the void of a venue with a capacity under 2,000 people. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 5th Jan 2023 3:17pm)

A switch of mindset is probably needed here. If you're only spending 50% of your income on these things, you're in a far better position than so many others who earn a respectable salary. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 6th Jan 2023 10:37pm)

Not true. In the 10 years I had the same landlord, they didn't increase the rent from £500 for a 2 bedroom. The flat was in a great location and during covid, they reduced the rent to help us out. I realise I was luckier than others and obviously, they were still making money off me. However there are decent landlords out there. by blu_rhubarb (Mon 3rd Apr 2023 4:16pm)

Why are you under the impression the bills and council tax are included within the rent charge? Has the landlord advised you of that or are you just assuming? If he has provided a breakdown of what your rent covers and this includes the above, plus £80 for factoring, then it may be legit. Plenty of landlords add in a £50+ sum to the rent charges to offset and recoup factoring charges, though it's not usually something the tenant is aware of. But please do not find yourself making payment of factoring bills or any additional charges charged by the factor as this is not your responsibility and lies solely with the landlord. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 19th Apr 2023 12:24pm)

That's simply not true. If the police have been out 13 times in 2 years, the HA will act on that, if complaints are raised by the other tenants. I used to work in the court until fairly recently and anti social evictions were common enough. The suggestion that the relevant organisations won't help us just what you'd prefer to believe. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 9th May 2023 11:05am)

King tut's is the most overrated venue in glasgow. All gigs at bloc are free. Sleazys, flying duck, old hairdressers, broadcast and stereo also have a lot of great gigs and most of them will likely be under a tenner. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 14th May 2023 8:02pm)

Yeah, it's overrated. It's pretty much solely relying on that good reputation now. It's been baws for years. by blu_rhubarb (Sun 14th May 2023 11:06pm)

Fair enough, but they're not really comparable markets. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 16th May 2023 1:31pm)

Yeah you won't get back in if you leave. You can go out to smoke, but it's a dedicated area and you can't just roam anywhere. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 20th Jun 2023 2:00pm)

Yeah, security at the flying duck etc is nowhere near the level at venues like the barras, academy and hydro. Would be interested to know the answer to this now. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 20th Jun 2023 5:26pm)

It's really not the norm. What sector are you looking in? I think zero hours mostly applies to retail and hospitality though I could be wrong. It's definitely not the norm across the board. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 30th Jun 2023 1:59pm)

They absolutely do not exist in every sector. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 30th Jun 2023 2:12pm)

Disagree. Have you seen them live? by blu_rhubarb (Sat 8th Jul 2023 9:41am)

Exactly. It's a bigger waste of time going back and no having the parcel. Probably didn't even try the day before and just got lucky you were out. Had that happen plenty of times. Sitting waiting for it and they claim you're no in. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 20th Jul 2023 12:23pm)

This is asked fairly often, if you search the sub you'll probably find a few recs that can sort you out. by blu_rhubarb (Thu 20th Jul 2023 3:16pm)

Depends what you're after. But Cathouse is probably your best bet if you're going to Blink. by blu_rhubarb (Fri 1st Sep 2023 12:02pm)

I'll get downvoted for this, but it's not the great venue it's hailed to be. Yes it's won some awards, a while back. It's decent, but far from the best in Glasgow. The layout of the place can be annoying, so make sure you're over stage left before the gig starts. If you're on the right there's a constant stream of people going to the bar/toilet. by blu_rhubarb (Sat 23rd Sep 2023 11:53am)

Thought this sounded nice and looked into it, £120 quid for a single from Glasgow to Mallaig. £185 if you want to come back. I know it's not an issue for OP, but what a fucking joke that is. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 4th Oct 2023 1:38pm)

Was the price on the scotrail app when I looked earlier. by blu_rhubarb (Wed 4th Oct 2023 4:04pm)

I had it down as Glasgow any, checked again and it was the same price. Looked at the journey details and amazingly it's Glasgow to Mallaig via London because of industrial action. That'll explain it! by blu_rhubarb (Wed 4th Oct 2023 5:26pm)

They had Radiohead on the first year and even if you don't like them, that's a solid headliner. Hadn't played Glasgow since 2004 and haven't played again since. Since then, it's been pretty pish though pulp was a good headliner last year. by blu_rhubarb (Tue 21st Nov 2023 10:31pm)
