This what I do when travelling to London, they open up 3 months in advance and for all trains usually as well. Haven't paid more than £60 there and back on a train to London in years. Did the same for Birmingham last June. The only place I can think which is not quicker to train it to is Bristol. by cass210 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 8:18am)

Seems to be missing McDonalds cups with their contents strewn. srs Nice photo OP! by cass210 (Tue 8th Jan 2019 10:08pm)

Dang that non organic box for 1 is actually quite good value! by cass210 (Sun 13th Jan 2019 12:59pm)

Thank fuck I have a date tonight so I don't need to be in the house. Still buggered in Kelvindale as I left. by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jan 2019 6:54pm)

I've got a job interview today so of course I'm up at ridiculous o'clock so I avoid having to use holidays for interviews. Looking forward to a Spoons once it's done. by cass210 (Fri 25th Jan 2019 8:46am)

Thank you! by cass210 (Fri 25th Jan 2019 9:23am)

I know, it's been 2 years since I got my current job! It's crazy for me too! by cass210 (Fri 25th Jan 2019 1:13pm)

How busy does Kelvinbridge park and ride get during the week, anyone know? Looking to use it at around 2pm today but don't want to turn up with my car and find there's no space. by cass210 (Wed 30th Jan 2019 8:37am)

Going to echo Sweat, it's never that busy even at peak to have long waits for machines. The real trick though is to exercise in the morning. by cass210 (Wed 6th Feb 2019 10:33pm)

I've been on the merry-go-round of Tinder, Bumble and OkCupid. A lot of them have the same people on them. I'm now just surrendering myself to life after being on these because I just didn't seem meet anyone who I properly clicked with, if it's just hole you're looking for tinder is your place. by cass210 (Thu 7th Feb 2019 7:50am)

I'm definitely way more sluggish if I have over 8 hours, I'm typically a 6-7 hours kind of girl. by cass210 (Sun 10th Feb 2019 10:01am)

My last day before I join club 27 tomorrow. Looking forward to some wine with my pal tonight followed by a day off tomorrow. 🤸🏻‍♀️ by cass210 (Wed 20th Feb 2019 8:49am)

You having a laugh, this is the worst Chinese I've tried. If you're going to have a Chinese in that area then NG Dynasty is your best bet. by cass210 (Sun 24th Feb 2019 9:39pm)

I've previously worked in one of the Big 4, it's pretty much driving license, passport and pass logo IDs. Based on what this guy is saying I'd probably be inclined to refuse if he didn't have a passport on him because of the hefty fines. by cass210 (Thu 28th Feb 2019 6:38pm)

I never went, the university cafe will always be my favourite in the area for just purely ice cream. by cass210 (Thu 28th Feb 2019 6:35pm)

It's my last day of the old job! Half day so I'll be offski soon. by cass210 (Fri 8th Mar 2019 1:20pm)

I'm rough from my leaving night, excellent stuff. I've been going to the catty semi regularly recently, it's very annoying that they seem to play a lot of the same tunes whenever I'm in. by cass210 (Sat 9th Mar 2019 12:25pm)

Fair enough sticking to the same bands, but I do hear the same songs a lot. by cass210 (Sat 9th Mar 2019 6:27pm)

Just finishing my first week at the new job! Seems so much more chilled than my last place, I think I'll be happy here. Can't wait a wine or two tonight though. by cass210 (Fri 15th Mar 2019 8:49am)

Going to use some of dat flexitime today so I can meet my pal for dinner before I go and see Interference! I'm excited, it looks like a Black Mirror but in 3 mini play form. Enjoy your weekend folks! by cass210 (Fri 22nd Mar 2019 12:54pm)

God I forgot that the Warner Brothers store was a thing. by cass210 (Sat 23rd Mar 2019 1:36pm)

I did the MSc IT a couple of years ago (the sister degree to the MSc you will be on) and now working as a software developer, if you have any questions please free to PM. by cass210 (Tue 2nd Apr 2019 10:57pm)

Happy new phone to me! Face unlock is a weird concept but I don't think I'm a fan of having the finger print sensor on the back. by cass210 (Thu 4th Apr 2019 8:14am)

I prefer the security of pre booking the night before. Would have the fear there wouldn't be any the night before. by cass210 (Thu 4th Apr 2019 8:16am)

Everyone always has the view Helensburgh is absolutely lovely (which for the most part it is), but then you remember Kirkmichael/Churchill exist and shudder. Nice place to grow up but I'd find it difficult to go back as I've lived in Glasgow for a fair while now. by cass210 (Sun 7th Apr 2019 4:12pm)

Genuinely nearly got landed on earlier today by a guy doing backflips in Kelvingrove today. Fucking idiot. by cass210 (Sat 20th Apr 2019 11:16pm)

Yeah I stopped going to the library after 2nd year. It's just too ridiculous unless you're in at ridiculous o'clock. Does your department have any computer labs you can use? Social sciences have some which is open until 9pm when I was there, and the Boyd Orr computer labs (if you're a computer science student) are pretty much 24 hours provided you sort out out of hours access with security in the bottom lobby. Much better than using the library. by cass210 (Tue 23rd Apr 2019 8:43am)

Does anyone else seem to win the jury duty lottery more than others? I'm 27 and feel like I've been constantly hounded since I moved to Glasgow 8 years ago. by cass210 (Sat 27th Apr 2019 8:39am)

I've got a Frank Green cup (used to be sold in tinderbox), no complaints. by cass210 (Fri 10th May 2019 8:18am)

I've never seen this place not rammed at weekends is the only downside by cass210 (Fri 10th May 2019 8:17am)

Anyone know where you can reliably buy Mountain Dew in the west of the city or even out towards Dumbarton/ Clydebank? Me and my pal are making Texas Margaritas tonight a la Queer Eye but struggled to get a hold of the stuff previously. by cass210 (Sat 1st Jun 2019 11:05am)

You talking about the guy who used to have a loo as his donation box? Not seen him in ages, I kinda liked him for his ridiculous/mildly inappropriate song choices. by cass210 (Sun 2nd Jun 2019 10:13pm)

I went to one in 2004 and I remember some Scottish lady who was popular at the time (I keep wanting to say Motorcycle but it probably wasn't) played at it. Free day off school etc. by cass210 (Tue 4th Jun 2019 4:08pm)

Nah definitely wasn't her. by cass210 (Sat 8th Jun 2019 10:35pm)

The Glasgow City Council tour is free and very informative, plus you can only do it Monday-Friday at lunchtime for some daft reason. by cass210 (Wed 19th Jun 2019 9:04pm)

There is however cobbles outside the door on the street, which is navigable but a pain for wheelchair users. by cass210 (Sat 13th Jul 2019 10:47am)

I'm not a fan of Bunker, drinks selection is poor, the clientele are pretty boring, music is average and everytime I go (not my choice, someone else I used to work with) it always signals the end of the night. Just a very meh bar. by cass210 (Wed 24th Jul 2019 1:59pm)

Not planning on visiting today but does anyone happen to know if the T Rex at the Kelvin Hall is open later than 5 on the weekdays? The website says it is but wanted to check before I waste my time. In other news what an utter washout this weekend has turned out to be by cass210 (Sun 28th Jul 2019 1:44pm)

Seems like a good shout, I'll drop them an email. Thank you! by cass210 (Fri 2nd Aug 2019 7:26am)

The receptionists at my surgery never ask why I need an appointment and they're always fine on the phone, must have found the absolute gold mine of GPs. My only complaint about them is they frequently forget to check my DOB as there's a lady at my surgery with the EXACT same name and causes the GPs to get confused when they're expecting a 60 something and get a 20 something instead. by cass210 (Sat 3rd Aug 2019 2:02pm)

Like others have said, boring but it does have a lot of amenities to make up for it. by cass210 (Sun 4th Aug 2019 9:12pm)

I've been shopping from Uniqlo for years and quite frankly I'm shocked they still don't have a store in Scotland, never mind Glasgow. by cass210 (Sun 11th Aug 2019 6:42pm)

My favourites are the ones which are in the breweries themselves. West at Glasgow Green, Drygate on Duke St (personal favourite) and Shilling in town is also worth a go. by cass210 (Tue 13th Aug 2019 11:02pm)

You got a 6" meal deal for £2.99, foot long for £4.99 by cass210 (Wed 21st Aug 2019 6:21pm)

Don't feel guilty about leaving somewhere that's ultimately having an impact on your mental well being. I had a realisation about how my job was making me feel when I was away on holiday. Toxic atmosphere, shite pay, high pressure and just making me feel like shite. 3 months after I got back, I'd handed in my notice and got the fuck out of there. Now I'm in a much better place of work and I actually feel so much more positive about the way my life is going just now. Like others have said, life is too short to stick around somewhere that's having an impact on your mental health. by cass210 (Mon 26th Aug 2019 6:28pm)

That's not true anymore, mine you had to fill blocks with water before installing the machine which you can take out when you move it. by cass210 (Fri 13th Sep 2019 8:08am)

Mine didn't have it as far as I can remember🤷🏻‍♀️ by cass210 (Fri 13th Sep 2019 11:25am)

My gran refused to go to any old people social clubs until she was in her late 80s (she's 92 this month), but they've given her a new lease of life. I'd highly recommend seeking out something like that if she can get out. by cass210 (Sun 15th Sep 2019 10:57am)

I find people here who complain about Paesano seem to prefer the much thicker, crispier pizzas like you get out of a chippy or Dominoes. I like those too in the right time and place, but in terms of actual quality and flavour nothing beats Paesano for me. by cass210 (Wed 25th Sep 2019 1:26pm)

This is why I only give to more local charities if I can. The only charity which is a recipient of my money every month is St Margaret's Hospice, they did a really good job looking after my grandparents in their final days. by cass210 (Sun 20th Oct 2019 10:59am)

Not even a mention of Cailins Sushi? by cass210 (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 6:01pm)

Tbh the main cinema has not very good leg room, the other two (smaller) cinemas are better seating wise. by cass210 (Wed 4th Dec 2019 8:07am)

I think the tickets only thing is very common, a lot of people in this city typically just stay in and have a house party for this exact reason. Also the 1st and 2nd of January are both bank holidays in Scotland and have widespread blanket closures. 1st is pretty much like another Christmas Day and the 2nd is more like another Boxing Day. by cass210 (Thu 2nd Jan 2020 6:05pm)

Rustic Coffee Shop on Argyle Street does a lovely soup, plus you can get soup and a panini for £4 at lunch. by cass210 (Fri 10th Jan 2020 5:52pm)

See people who sit in the middle of two seats on the train so that there's not enough space for someone to sit down either side, you're the worst. by cass210 (Fri 31st Jan 2020 8:35am)

Just to add to this list, Gordon Street Coffee are worth checking out as well. by cass210 (Mon 30th Mar 2020 8:09am)

Are you me? I also slow cooked chilli yesterday and it ended up 'meh'. by cass210 (Thu 16th Apr 2020 10:40am)

Hi, do you have details for anyone who'd do this? I texted the guy who did mine last time a couple of weeks ago but he's either got a new number or is ignoring me. by cass210 (Mon 20th Apr 2020 8:20am)

There was a documentary posted in this sub ages ago about a guy who does this exact job and it was actually a good watch. Quick Google hasn't allowed me to find it. by cass210 (Wed 13th May 2020 12:29pm)

Yes this is the one! Thanks! by cass210 (Wed 13th May 2020 1:26pm)

So I watched this video and apparently I know the guy who set up Livingston Skate Park as he's interviewed in this video. I know him for entirely different reasons unrelated to skateboarding so this was definitely gave me a wee small world moment. Thank you! by cass210 (Fri 15th May 2020 8:22am)

Sorry to hear that. My Gran is still in her house (at 92) but she's very suddenly taken a turn and they're at end of life of care as well. She's currently in her home and they've been really good at organising care for her in the house so she doesn't need to go to hospital at this moment in time. Just fucking shite though, I'm close to her and made sure to visit regularly over the past couple of years so watching her come to the end is heartbreaking. by cass210 (Tue 19th May 2020 6:22pm)

My one isn't open right now, but I guess the dental hospital on Sauchiehall Street should be. by cass210 (Wed 20th May 2020 8:21am)

This guy is the reason I occasionally play Sex Over the Phone by Village People. He makes me smile, especially when he got his wee loo to collect donations. by cass210 (Thu 21st May 2020 10:41pm)

I got a mask from Pure Barkin https://instagram.com/purebarkin?igshid=1524nuk8mcmrd They're a recently graduated art student and have some quite fun designs. They might have an Etsy shop now but I ordered through their Facebook page initially by cass210 (Fri 12th Jun 2020 8:29am)

Must admit my back court has been very helpful for making me feel less locked in during this time. Mine is South facing so it's a great wee sun trap. by cass210 (Sun 21st Jun 2020 7:34pm)

Wrong way, down a one way street? by cass210 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 7:21pm)

I did a masters 4 (!) years ago now. Was easily the best decision I ever made, but it was a tough old slog. I treated writing my dissertation like a full time job, I'd make sure to get in for a reasonable time, break for lunch, get stuff done in the afternoon too. I admittedly did work a bit more than your average 9-5 but I gave myself time off at the weekends as well. I found exercise very useful as well, I'd time my day round an exercise class happening 6-7 and then make sure I did enough to be able to go to the class. You got this. :) by cass210 (Sun 28th Jun 2020 1:39pm)

There's a was a thread a few weeks ago about local producers, I bought mine from Pure Barkin if you search on Facebook. Other option is go on esty and search for masks and pick local (I chose Scotland), I got a grey tartan a la Big Nic and one from a studio in Edinburgh last night. by cass210 (Fri 3rd Jul 2020 8:26am)

I've got 2b/c hair but wasn't aware for a long time (my mum's advice was just to straighten it) until I started following some guides on the internet. I then switched to a friend of mine Sean who's in Scrimshaws in town and he politely informed me that my hair hadn't been cut for waves (first time someone has ever noticed this) and since going to him my hair has been so much better. Would recommend! by cass210 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:53am)

I'm on the committee for a local community run dance society which does partnered dancing, we won't be looking to run classes again until at least phase 4 and beyond. But definitely a good option, dancing has honestly changed my life. by cass210 (Thu 9th Jul 2020 11:39am)

What kind of dancing were you looking for? I'm very surprised you are saying you couldn't find classes for adults, although kids classes is most of the market, adults classes aren't hard to find for the things I look for. My main dance is Lindy Hop which tends to attract mid 20s onwards type of folk. The group I'm part of don't offer classes for children at all (although probably could if requested, but take up is low enough for adults that it'd have to be a very high demand. Lindy Hop is quite niche). by cass210 (Thu 9th Jul 2020 9:48pm)

As someone who has larger than average bosoms, I'd need to cut some eye holes in mine and they'd make fine fencing masks. by cass210 (Fri 10th Jul 2020 8:14pm)

I drunk purchased this 2 weeks ago and had it last week, 10/10 would buy again. Best drunk purchase ever. by cass210 (Fri 10th Jul 2020 8:10pm)

I'm a software engineer. My works set up has been pretty crappy for sending us all home and my team is very collaborative in working so working from home has been pretty hard for the team and our time developing stories has gone through the floor. I think if I had a different team and technology setup then WFH would be fine, but this set up isn't enjoyable for me in the long term. We're probably not going back until 2021 it seems like. by cass210 (Tue 14th Jul 2020 7:49pm)

So I just googled out of curiosity and yup, Joseph is a top guy. I used to get my haircut off him, but he gave up women's hairdressing a few years ago and I was absolutely gutted to have to go find a new hairdresser. Nice to see he's doing well! by cass210 (Fri 17th Jul 2020 8:27am)

This guy came out and did my car: [https://www.facebook.com/DD-Mobile-Valeting-104253517683494/](https://www.facebook.com/DD-Mobile-Valeting-104253517683494/) I think it's a part time gig for this guy but he does a really good job. Guy ended up doing half my street after I hired him thanks to my nosy neighbours (this was back in April when everyone was bored at home) by cass210 (Fri 24th Jul 2020 10:34pm)

Same here! My hair is so grown out. I'm thinking of getting some pink in mine, live a little. by cass210 (Sat 25th Jul 2020 8:33am)

I'm sure my neighbours will be delighted that I will be reducing my time spent doing HIIT bodyweight routines on YouTube in the living room. I miss gyms! by cass210 (Thu 20th Aug 2020 4:35pm)

I did do burpees once or twice but they yelled every time so had to move to apartment friendly HIIT on YouTube. Still get a decent sweat but would be nice to do them elsewhere. by cass210 (Thu 20th Aug 2020 4:41pm)

I know the Morrisons at Anniesland used to have it in their Irish food section, as did the Tesco up in Maryhill. by cass210 (Mon 31st Aug 2020 8:33am)

I used Network recently for a couple of taxis. I don't usually have a problem with Network but neither driver wore masks which makes me think they're not being particularly strict. Can anyone advise if Hampden are following the rules recently (or another company which serves the West End, I'm not particularly picky). by cass210 (Sun 6th Sep 2020 3:49pm)

I got a bag of Caputo flour from the Kothel outside deli on Crow Road (Is this still a thing?) during lockdown. Was just a plastic food bag though and wasn't loads (enough to make a couple of pizzas). by cass210 (Fri 18th Sep 2020 9:38am)

Chip Chik Inn at Temple does, I phoned up and asked recently. by cass210 (Sun 20th Sep 2020 2:33pm)

I was driving along the A81 at the back of the science park and the amount of separate groups of young teenagers for more than 6 was completely ridiculous. Last weekend I saw a group of more than 6 near the expressway, one who had a bottle of bucky and was clearly not taking it well. I'm surprised to see so many teenagers going about like this, I'm not sure if I was a teenager if my mum would be letting me out at all given the behaviour I've seen. by cass210 (Sun 27th Sep 2020 1:23am)

I bought a chair from this company earlier this year: [https://www.g13group.co.uk/](https://www.g13group.co.uk/) Everything is secondhand but my chair looked in pretty decent condition. by cass210 (Wed 30th Sep 2020 9:40pm)

I posted about the tragedy that was my takeaway being snatched away from me on Sunday, update is I got a refund yesterday but only after an investigation by Just Eat occurred. Now I can get even more fat. by cass210 (Thu 1st Oct 2020 9:32am)

I'm a full-time glasses wearer - I found a tip on Facebook where it recommended placing a piece of tissue along the top of the mask. It's not 100% foolproof but it resolves most of my issues. In addition, I stick my glasses slightly further down my nose to try and create an extra seal. Hope this helps! by cass210 (Wed 7th Oct 2020 2:28pm)

Fair enough! I usually carry around a handbag so it's not an issue to carry round some tissues for me. by cass210 (Wed 7th Oct 2020 3:33pm)

If I could buy west beer without money going to the owner, I would. Guess I'll try the recomendations for other wheat beers. I'll stick my own in here: Wednesday Wheat Beer by Steph Union is sooo good. by cass210 (Sat 10th Oct 2020 9:05pm)

I think it is available online, but I've bought it from Valhalla's Goat and Waitrose in Glasgow. by cass210 (Sat 10th Oct 2020 11:28pm)

Yes they are, thanks for letting me know the proper name for others, I always get it misked up! by cass210 (Sun 11th Oct 2020 10:54am)

This does look nice, may have to go here for a walk sometime! Thanks for the suggestion. by cass210 (Thu 15th Oct 2020 5:46pm)

I picked up the Wednesday Wheat Beer last Friday, so they have it in stock for sure. However, one of the staff has since tested positive for Covid since I visited the shop and I saw they had closed the shop as a precaution so you may have to do your trudge to Waitrose if you really want to try it. by cass210 (Thu 15th Oct 2020 5:54pm)

I had a bunch of stuff framed recently at the Framing Workshop, turnaround was a week and the guy was saying they even had to shut orders for a bit because they've had so many. Might have calmed down now but they seemed pretty busy. by cass210 (Wed 21st Oct 2020 5:50pm)

Is it bad that I'm considering a trip to this place just to have a pie once travel restrictions are relaxed? What excellent looking pies. by cass210 (Fri 30th Oct 2020 8:31am)

I've admittedly got a very strange looking address (my building has flat number, building name, street number then street address so it looks like two street addresses) so I always leave notes for the driver. I still don't get it though as all the mapping software, if you type in my postcode it leads you straight to my door. by cass210 (Sat 7th Nov 2020 10:09am)

I did travel from GCC to another tier 3 council area at the weekend to go for a walk. Outdoor exercise counts as an essential reason. I wouldn't go to an area which has less restrictions, but with so much of the central belt being tier 3 I don't see what difference it makes at this time as long as you're not taking the piss. As someone said, the restrictions are meant to make you think twice rather than being a ban on travelling. by cass210 (Thu 12th Nov 2020 8:21pm)

I took private transportation there and back, washed my hands, socially distanced and wore a mask when necessary. I took all the necessary precautions and for me going on a walk on a nice Saturday afternoon with a friend who I've not seen for 3 months was good for my mental health. In terms of breaking the rules, I'm hardly the worst offender here when you see cases continually rising and people having gender naming parties with 50+ people despite me working from home all week and hardly seeing anyone. by cass210 (Thu 12th Nov 2020 8:41pm)

I didn't realise quite how much I was suppressing feelings about this whole thing when last night out of nowhere I had a rant about how my life has never been 'back to normal' at any stage since March. I'm a dancer and committee member of a local non-profit group. I'm normally out 1-2 times a week and regularly attend weekend trips away to dance workshops. At no point, under ANY of the proposed frameworks we've had, could any of my usual dancing activities be held. There is also no real provision to do this even if we get to a 'life until get the vaccine' stage. I think it's absolutely right we do need to stop such risky activities at this time, but it's incredibly frustrating that for some people, life did become more normal, whilst for me it hasn't. In addition, I play D&D. Again, we haven't been able to play indoors during any of the frameworks put in place. We are online so at least this can happen, but again still no return to normality anytime soon. Our full party hasn't been together since March. I've been working from home since March. Now it's dark when I finish work, and there is nowhere for me to go after work to let off some steam. On the plus side, I've ended up completing a beginners sewing course and trying to make my way into beginner's dressmaking which is something I've fancied for a while and I've never exercised so much in my life. Hopefully I can at least get a Christmas with my parents (a far cry from the 15-20+ people we usually have for Christmas). by cass210 (Tue 17th Nov 2020 11:28am)

My last out the house pint was 19th September at the SWG3 outdoors bit on a glorious Saturday afternoon, which was a very slick operation. Shame they've had to close it, I felt incredibly safe there. by cass210 (Tue 17th Nov 2020 2:51pm)

Somebody posted about a restaurant a while ago which had opened during lockdown which was serving Nigerian/Ghanian food, can anyone remember the name? I've discovered what an amazing dish jollof rice is and I wouldn't mind getting it for a takeaway one night. by cass210 (Wed 18th Nov 2020 10:55am)

Maybe not the worst, but the Chinese takeaway next to Anniesland train station does a really awful Hot and Sour soup. It always seems busy but any food I've had out of there is hoaching. by cass210 (Wed 18th Nov 2020 5:12pm)

It's the best I've had in this country, but admittedly not tried your suggestion. I'll need to investigate. by cass210 (Wed 18th Nov 2020 9:35pm)

I know football is a touchy subject in this city but I do think that posts regarding bad behaviour by either side should be allowed to be posted here. I think there's a lot of fans of either side who go 'Aye but we're not the baddies, it's them' when in reality there's hooliganism on both sides which needs to be dealt with. by cass210 (Mon 30th Nov 2020 11:45am)

It's great news, but as a late 20s healthy person I'll be lucky to have had it by summer so I'm not particularly excited by it. Feel like life will still be the same for the next while.

Just a shiter all round. Hope everyone is feeling ok. by cass210 (Sun 20th Dec 2020 10:49am)

I'm kinda talking to some guy out Dundee way just now, and he keeps talking about how dangerous Glasgow is, having never really been here. It's kinda annoying as I love this city and whilst I'm not going to deny that there's not issues, I've not really experienced much trouble personally. As others have said, issues seem to be within communities who have been present in Glasgow for a long time. by cass210 (Sun 24th Jan 2021 7:20pm)

I've just driven down Hershel Street in anniesland to witness someone has somehow managed to crash into the tiny barbers/masseuse place and are currently up on the pavement.

You need to buy the switch and ringfit which comes with the game and equipment.

Maybe everyone has worn themselves out arguing over football by cass210 (Wed 10th Mar 2021 10:30am)

I don't really follow football/sports generally so I'm pretty unaware of this issue of classism towards football fans generally, thanks for the info. by cass210 (Wed 10th Mar 2021 11:06am)

One of the cygnets recently vanished from Bingham's pond, I wonder if this is where they ended up by cass210 (Fri 12th Mar 2021 9:20am)

I'm hoping it's just been booted out of the nest for being a male swan as the other cygnet is still happily kicking about by cass210 (Fri 12th Mar 2021 11:13am)

I honestly thought Bimini was going to take it from her recent performance but I'm really happy Lawrence has snatched the crown! Looks like Ru finally got his wish of big camp queen winning the crown. Well done Lawrence 👏🏻 by cass210 (Fri 19th Mar 2021 12:00am)

Finally had a reason to sit out in my very jazzy deckchair outside, lovely weather by cass210 (Sun 21st Mar 2021 2:38pm)

I love a cremant! Prosecco has really gone down the tubes since it became popular and hopefully cremant won't go that way. by cass210 (Fri 26th Mar 2021 12:48pm)

Yeah I've had both of those options before. This weekend I'm doing an online sparkling wine tasting involving a rose cremant (amongst other wines) which seems interesting. Think that came from Tesco. I'll need to hunt down that prosecco by cass210 (Fri 26th Mar 2021 12:58pm)

Also if you'd like something really different, Valhalla's Goat stock (or were stocking) this absolutely amazing Sparkling Riesling at New Year for about £19 a bottle which although a bit dearer was absolutely amazing. by cass210 (Fri 26th Mar 2021 1:07pm)

Apparently my new memory foam pillows are turning up today. Can't wait to replace the shite that's on my bed just now by cass210 (Sat 27th Mar 2021 9:22am)

My pillows arrived 5 minutes early and they are already on my bed. Can immediately feel a difference. I'll maybe replace the side I don't sleep on with the Premier Inn ones suggested below so I can swap out if needs be. Can't believe I've been sleeping with duff pillows for so long by cass210 (Sat 27th Mar 2021 11:09am)

Ng dynasty up in temple is my go to, humongous portions. I'd highly recommend getting their own special chicken/prawns/whatever, just sesame oil and curry powder but it's dynamite by cass210 (Wed 31st Mar 2021 7:53pm)

Admittedly I've not eaten from them much lately, but always been decent when I've ordered from there. by cass210 (Wed 31st Mar 2021 9:31pm)

Keep thinking it's Friday. Pity it's not as I'm trying out Kodexo tomorrow as my friend said it's chicken worth breaking my diet for. by cass210 (Thu 1st Apr 2021 8:40am)

I never usually rewatch TV shows, but a couple of weeks ago I put on Avatar The Last Airbender as "background watching" after I watched it less than a year ago but nope, ended up rewatching it again. What an absolute masterpiece. The finale with Sozin's Comet was a tremendous way to end my Saturday night. Today I'm going to try and use up nearly all my veg box potatoes in a smoky bacon and potato soup for next week's wfh lunch. Let's hope it turns out tasty... by cass210 (Sun 11th Apr 2021 11:18am)

I kinda want to watch the film they did just to see how terrible it is. It's such good source material, how could you mess it up. I've seen Legend of Korra too, also very enjoyable. by cass210 (Sun 11th Apr 2021 10:47pm)

I didn't realise this was done by you Neil! This is fabulous. You drew my D&D party and it's hanging pride of place on my wall. by cass210 (Mon 12th Apr 2021 11:23pm)

I live near lunch which is the sister shop to this place, I like their breakfast rolls but the rest of the food is just a bit too much for me. by cass210 (Wed 14th Apr 2021 10:31am)

I'm really not sure, I always feel dead of out of place when i show up for my roll and it's just loads of spice boys around 😂. I used to be a fan of the cakes but I've since discovered Beefcake round the corner and it's a million times nicer by cass210 (Wed 14th Apr 2021 3:06pm)

They say pub garden?! by cass210 (Thu 15th Apr 2021 8:52am)

Not a Stobart spotter but I do like when I get to drive past one and see what it's called by cass210 (Sat 17th Apr 2021 9:57am)

Now is the time for trying out stuff you never had time for before! I picked up sewing (I normally partner dance but good luck to that happening in any meaningful way in the next year or so) and it's been fun learning how clothes construction works. by cass210 (Thu 22nd Apr 2021 8:52am)

We had a committee meeting last night in my group to discuss next steps, I think some stuff will happen now but not in the way it did before by cass210 (Thu 22nd Apr 2021 1:16pm)

I'd rather not say as it will definitely give away who I am, my stuff is quite niche I feel like it's more risky than an indoor contact sport, given the proximity and time with partners, as well as you said normally way more cramped environments than a typical indoor sport such as basketball. We're only looking at trialling an outdoor class of sorts with just members of the committee to see how it is by cass210 (Thu 22nd Apr 2021 2:14pm)

I remember coming across the name Jamesina at uni and I said to my mum, apparently she used to work with someone called that and she called herself Jimmy by cass210 (Fri 23rd Apr 2021 8:39am)

What is the definition of local travel? I've seen people going up to Obanish area from the central belt which to me seems a bit far but I wasn't sure if it was allowed. by cass210 (Fri 23rd Apr 2021 8:44am)

I've literally had the most boring week ever, at least Fridays are a bit more fun with my takeaway lunch from wherever will have free delivery on Uber eats and cake from beefcake. by cass210 (Fri 23rd Apr 2021 8:46am)

My dad has always been self employed and the only times he seems to get holidays is when he plans for one, perhaps you should do the same? Even a long weekend would be helpful. :) by cass210 (Fri 23rd Apr 2021 8:50am)

Going to the doctors just now is pure weird, but I do think I got an appointment quicker since people are mainly keeping away or its phone appointments. Hopefully this tinnitus with gtf asap by cass210 (Tue 27th Apr 2021 11:24am)

Funnily enough it was actually watching that film that made me realise something wasn't quite right, I guess because some of it was so quiet? by cass210 (Tue 27th Apr 2021 11:58am)

I've had it before about 8 years ago, was awful then too! I'm quite liable to ear problems it seems :( by cass210 (Tue 27th Apr 2021 11:55am)

Thanks! I do believe this is an ear infection of some sort as it's just come on in the last week or so and my ears are feeling a bit blocked. But I totally empathise, it's fucking awful by cass210 (Tue 27th Apr 2021 3:33pm)

I always hate that roundabout, not so bad if you're heading to the motorway but I've still yet to figure out what is the correct lane from the motorway to the Clyde tunnel. by cass210 (Thu 29th Apr 2021 8:49am)

Not Glasgow but my most despised roundabout is the tiny one sandwiched between Morrisons and the retail park in Dumbarton. It's far too wee for the amount of traffic it serves. by cass210 (Thu 29th Apr 2021 8:51am)

I deliberately travel the a82 way to my parents in Helensburgh because of that roundabout. by cass210 (Thu 29th Apr 2021 10:55am)

Are they still doing £5 tennents? Broke my heart last time around though yes the set up is good by cass210 (Fri 30th Apr 2021 11:40am)

Chip chik Inn does the best chippy pizza I've found by cass210 (Thu 6th May 2021 3:13pm)

It's the best I've found in Glasgow anyway. Back where I'm from, all the chippies do a decent pizza so I got a bit of a shock when I moved here and discovered it's not really a thing a lot of chip shops do well. Pure craving a pizza now 😂 by cass210 (Thu 6th May 2021 4:49pm)

I know the way she's just shouting Marxism suggests that. Absolutely dough ball heid by cass210 (Fri 7th May 2021 1:09pm)

I read somewhere that the actual phrase is that the customer is never wrong, which has slightly different nuances rather than them being right all the time. It's more about not saying outright they're wrong and gently figuring out a solution. by cass210 (Fri 7th May 2021 1:11pm)

Thank you! That was actually very interesting by cass210 (Fri 7th May 2021 2:40pm)

Such an ear worm this by cass210 (Mon 10th May 2021 8:20pm)

Not having grown up in Glasgow, but having lived here for over 10 years now, I run into this quite a lot. I have no clue why it's a thing. I recently had a first date where the guy decided it was a super nice thing to say /s that I had a Glasgow Uni accent. Maybe it's just as well it never went beyond a first date because if that's what he says when he meets me I dread to think what he'd say further down the line. by cass210 (Tue 11th May 2021 8:51am)

I think the worst part was he was from Carluke which hardly has bragging rights on what constitutes a Glaswegian accent. Hopefully he's getting some terrible hole just now. by cass210 (Tue 11th May 2021 9:23am)

As someone who loves a bit of singing in the car, this would make me so happy if this driver came and picked me up! by cass210 (Thu 13th May 2021 8:45am)

Swg3s beer garden is seemingly switching to walk ins this weekend, won't be showing sport and it's a huge space. I went once before all the pubs shut and it was probably my favourite outdoor drinking experience by cass210 (Thu 13th May 2021 4:58pm)

I do find the history of why the M8 is the way of is quite fascinating which I believe is down to this report. The guy was apparently inspired by all the inner city highways of LA which is why it's built in the way it is. Also I believe my great grandparents were affected by it as they used to live on New City Road and iirc they place were they lived is now demolished. by cass210 (Fri 14th May 2021 8:34am)

Is anyone else feeling a bit disheartened by this news? I feel like I've honestly been really good at mostly sticking to the rules (because let's be honest who's stick to them 100% rigidly for the last year) and sometimes it feels it's all for nothing when news like this comes out. by cass210 (Fri 14th May 2021 11:16am)

My aunt and uncle in their 60s just had their second jab and apparently the vaccination centre is totally empty. Guess I'll be emailing my GP to enquire about cancellations then by cass210 (Sat 15th May 2021 10:23am)

Nope, Kelvindale! by cass210 (Thu 20th May 2021 2:36pm)

I'm getting paid time off for mine and it's in the middle of the day next week so I'm buzzing by cass210 (Mon 24th May 2021 3:13pm)

Im finding it amazing how many people seem to think they are intentionally missing vaccine appointments. Sure, maybe some are doing that but 50%? Seems unlikely. by cass210 (Mon 24th May 2021 3:29pm)

Under 30 so no AZ jab for me, probably Pfizer or Moderna by cass210 (Mon 24th May 2021 4:00pm)

Runners do this to each other as well. I'm quite a slow runner and the really speedy ones just zoom past me with no warning. I've experienced the flip side of this, my mum's a runner and she refuses to do this, but then she basically is forever on the road to avoid people, even when there is enough space to pass comfortably and the risk of passing someone is minimal. She lives in a small town with minimal traffic though so she can get away with a lot of road running. by cass210 (Tue 25th May 2021 8:21am)

I've been seeing someone recently (going suspiciously far too well) and not ran into this so far. He's done the bookings though, not me. Didn't even know my surname until date 2. by cass210 (Tue 25th May 2021 11:18am)

I've been eating overnight oats for a while, I find getting the right combo is key. Here's a rough estimate of what I use for mine. I put my bowl on a scale and then add: 50g porridge oats Top up with milk until 200g ish If adding frozen fruit, add 80gish and put in the fridge. In the morning, I take it out. If adding fresh fruit, chop and add it now. Top with chia seeds and a sprinkling of cacao powder if I fancy some chocolate goodness. by cass210 (Sat 29th May 2021 11:25am)

I was there yesterday. Yeah it was busy but I didn't see anything that was too concerning. Plenty of socially distant groups in my end of the park. by cass210 (Tue 1st Jun 2021 10:35am)

I did! I'm surprised as I thought it was in short supply by cass210 (Tue 1st Jun 2021 1:13pm)

Fair enough, tone is difficult to convey on the internet so I didn't realise you were pleased to see people out. by cass210 (Tue 1st Jun 2021 1:13pm)

I'm just happy to get it tbh! And who knows, maybe you'll get it as well. by cass210 (Tue 1st Jun 2021 1:17pm)

I know it's not the exit in the OPs post but if you're one of those people who does this at the GWR exit (the one I use to get home so I'm justified in whizzing past everyone in the middle lanes) then know I've definitely cursed your name when driving and questioned if you actually saved any time. by cass210 (Tue 8th Jun 2021 1:14pm)

Do we thinks pubs, bars and restaurants will be busier generally? I don't really watch football but I've been enjoying being able to get out and about but already struggling with bookings for some places as people are getting more out and about. by cass210 (Wed 9th Jun 2021 4:13pm)

That makes sense, thank you! by cass210 (Wed 9th Jun 2021 11:16pm)

Not threading, but I've had a good experience with Designer Waxing in town, they seem to actually pay attention to my brows natural shape unlike the many various ladies I've had my eyebrows threaded with over the years. Lockdown eyebrows has made me realise how bad they were, but looking much better now after months of uninterrupted growth. by cass210 (Mon 21st Jun 2021 9:39am)

A lot of people think I'm really weird for rarely ordering anything off Amazon, I pretty much exclusively shop on eBay for anything that I'd need off there. I find the prices are a bit lower and I don't need to jump through hoops to get free shipping. Amazon is only really good these days if you have prime, which I don't. by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 8:32am)

That's so rough! A lot of people don't seem to realise the risks associated with hormonal birth control. I myself decided to go with the copper IUD after deciding I didn't want to carry on taking hormonal birth control almost 5 years ago (!) and although it was sore getting it in, I've had a much greater piece of mind. Hope you're feeling better soon! by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 9:40am)

I know I'm about 20 years late but recently started watching Firefly and it is a great wee show, how did they cancel it. by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 1:33pm)

I've never been but I've only been to Alton Towers in the UK so I imagine I would be highly disappointed. Surely there's scope for a theme park like Alton Towers or Thorpe Park but in Scotland/North of England. Or is that what Blackpool is supposed to be? by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 1:55pm)

I'm watching on Disney + and I believe that's the exact order I've watched the episodes. Somebody was listening there! I can imagine it would get confusing, especially if they did the second one with Christina Hendricks before the one where she was introduced. by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 2:31pm)

I've stayed at the Alton towers hotel (was pals with a girl whose family only ever went to theme parks on holiday) and what I will say is that the Alton towers hotel is super nice from what I recall, and you could get up early to get on rides before the park opens. They also used to have a mad water park themed hotel which was great fun too, but this was a good part of 20 years ago so it could have changed. by cass210 (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 8:13pm)

At least I got to experience a Scotland goal in a men's international football tournament final. I'm of an age where I don't remember them in France 1998, though there is evidence that I was dressed up in Scotland t-shirts on holiday in France for the occasion. And also not losing to England, I'll take that. by cass210 (Wed 23rd Jun 2021 8:24am)

I'm looking just now and I think my problem is that the market moves so fast you need to act quickly on anything you like. I've never done anything like this before and the whole process scares me by cass210 (Wed 23rd Jun 2021 10:39am)

I got my helix done by Lola back when she was at Forevermore Tattoo, I believe she has her own place now. Would highly recommend by cass210 (Wed 23rd Jun 2021 1:27pm)

I've used Networks app with no issues by cass210 (Mon 28th Jun 2021 12:13pm)

I grew up not far away from Luss, I only visit during the off peak. It's far too crazy for me otherwise. by cass210 (Tue 29th Jun 2021 11:55am)

I need to go to IKEA soon, have the queues calmed down to get in? I'd need to go either evenings or a weekend so advice appreciated on those times. by cass210 (Thu 1st Jul 2021 11:44am)

Thanks! by cass210 (Thu 1st Jul 2021 12:35pm)

On my yearly stroll round hillington as my car is in for it's MOT. At least it's better than last year in that places are open for sit in. by cass210 (Sat 3rd Jul 2021 10:28am)

It is terrible that I also thought of this when I saw this question posted. First Bus in Glasgow are something else by cass210 (Mon 5th Jul 2021 1:05pm)

I think Helensburgh seafront offers some of the best sunset views in the central belt, but I'm biased since I grew up there. Also has the bonus you could get a meal and some ice cream from Dino's (accept nothing else there, even if he is the grumpiest owner of an ice cream shop you ever did see) before sitting on the front and watching the sun set over the Forth of Clyde and the Rosneath Peninsula. by cass210 (Mon 5th Jul 2021 4:20pm)

My team moved to AWS last year so I always feel like a pure n00b, but I checked out what you're using on AWS and I actually understood all the words! Success. by cass210 (Tue 6th Jul 2021 8:43am)

That's good! The Steamie is the perfect candidate for a lambda tbh, given how it's just a once a day type job. And yeah I can imagine it's much easier to administer! The documentation on how to do stuff on AWS is actually pretty comprehensive, my main complaint is that the company I'm with (for security reasons) won't give us extra permissions because our account setup means that live is in the same account as Dev and it's difficult to separate permissions by environment apparently with their setup. But that's on them to give us separate accounts for environments. 🙃 by cass210 (Tue 6th Jul 2021 9:03am)

Oh I didn't spot that, but still ideal for lambda type situation. Nice one! by cass210 (Tue 6th Jul 2021 9:16am)

It's my last day of work before my week off and it looks as though I should finish the story I've been on for a couple of weeks today. What great timing 😸 Getting some extra holiday nails later and I'm absolutely buzzing. 💅🏻 by cass210 (Fri 9th Jul 2021 8:34am)

I remember that unit being my favourite H&M ever back when I was a teenager, fulfilling all my emo needs back in the mid noughties, but not as this book shop. by cass210 (Fri 9th Jul 2021 2:17pm)

About to leave Scotland for the first time since 2019, feels practically exotic at this point. Hit me with your favourite service stations, especially ones with decent coffee, we're heading to Somerset so we have a fair journey to cover! I already know about Tebay x by cass210 (Sun 11th Jul 2021 10:38am)

I started sewing during lockdown so Im in the habit of buying everything online and then just getting it printed A0 and sent to my house. I managed to pick up a used Love at First Stitch by Tilly Walnes which I would recommend if you like the look of the patterns, it's a great reference book. All the patterns are printed double sided so you will need to trace. by cass210 (Tue 13th Jul 2021 8:40am)

I'll need to check them next time I need a pattern printed, I'm currently using some company in Plymouth as theyre the first result on Google. Thanks! by cass210 (Tue 13th Jul 2021 9:21am)

Think that was the one I went to! by cass210 (Thu 15th Jul 2021 5:51pm)

My holiday has went far too quick. 😭 by cass210 (Fri 16th Jul 2021 9:32am)

The amount of emails I've had offering me "Freedom Day" discounts is ridiculous, at least I can maybe pick up some discounted items without having to be subject to the chaos that's about to ensue down south. by cass210 (Mon 19th Jul 2021 11:26am)

Well that's awfully sad. The dancing community I'm part of has been using the basement there since it began. We were getting turfed out just before lockdown as they were going to make it a restaurant. So many happy memories in there. by cass210 (Tue 20th Jul 2021 11:09pm)

I've been having lukewarm showers for weeks now, how else would you survive a Scottish summer otherwise by cass210 (Thu 22nd Jul 2021 8:42am)

Guess who slept in this morning after waking up far too early yesterday so turned off my alarm so it would not be blaring away waking the neighbours. Thank fuck I'm wfh and for Flexi time by cass210 (Tue 27th Jul 2021 9:00am)

Well that's rubbish news about Joey Jordison. His drumming was honestly mind blowing and really fitted with the sound of Slipknot. I was also very disappointed about the no thunderstorm, I love some slightly dangerous weather from the comfort of my home. by cass210 (Wed 28th Jul 2021 8:46am)

I ordered the number 16 at home as a drunk purchase in the midst of lockdown. 10/10 would buy again, shame they've not been doing them much since lockdown 1 by cass210 (Thu 29th Jul 2021 11:08pm)

I can't believe this weekend is here! I booked a sewing retreat in deepest darkest lockdown earlier this year and by some miracle it's going ahead. This hobby has kept me sane over the last year so I'm very excited to hang out with a bunch of sewists and maybe drink some wine. Have fun whatever you're doing! by cass210 (Fri 30th Jul 2021 8:37am)

I do actually own this badge: https://hoyfc.com/products/here-we-fucking-sew-enamel-pin?_pos=2&_sid=cf7090bf1&_ss=r by cass210 (Fri 30th Jul 2021 9:03am)

I'll try and remember to pm you after! by cass210 (Fri 30th Jul 2021 1:12pm)

It's basically two days of sewing time in a hotel, getting to meet some new people and try and blast through a project! I'm making some new pyjamas! This evening though I'm staying nearby (cba getting up too early tomorrow) and treating myself to a wee payday dinner. by cass210 (Fri 30th Jul 2021 1:12pm)

I naïvely thought it wouldn't come for me, but I've got the vaccine lurgy after my second vaccine. 🤒 by cass210 (Wed 4th Aug 2021 10:02am)

Everyone I know who's had Moderna felt like shite the next day (including me) by cass210 (Wed 4th Aug 2021 10:45am)

Thanks! I'm very rarely ill so I'll be taking full advantage today (once I stop hanging out in my bed...) by cass210 (Wed 4th Aug 2021 11:15am)

I basically started feeling quite tired last night around 10ish (unusual for me) after my jab was at 5. Today I've been feeling quite achey and tired. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better by cass210 (Wed 4th Aug 2021 4:19pm)

It was really good thanks for asking! Been hanging out in the pyjamas I made all day. by cass210 (Wed 4th Aug 2021 6:28pm)

I think it was this sub who informed me that apparently Fred West had an allotment in Glasgow and they believe someone is buried there, but they can't prove it because apparently there's small tiny thing called the M8 that was built on top of it by cass210 (Thu 5th Aug 2021 9:11am)

I've always heard is as tatties from my relatives. Where abouts do your relatives stay? by cass210 (Fri 6th Aug 2021 8:47am)

Don't go to my granny who made it for me because 1) she's dead and 2) it was so shite that it put me off mince and tatties for life. I have no idea why everyone loves this dish so much, each to their own I guess by cass210 (Fri 6th Aug 2021 8:46am)

I'm only just feeling back to nearly myself after 48 hours, think it'll be another early night for me! I'm back at work today by cass210 (Fri 6th Aug 2021 10:26am)

I've got a lovely weekend of fuck all in front of me which I'm actually ok about as I've been dead busy last two weekends. My only plans are this evening where I'm going to have a chippy tea round at my Mum's and admire her new TV. Genuinely excited to see her new TV because her old one was we think one of the first smart TVs out which couldn't receive updates and had no useful apps bar netflix and prime. She'll feel like she's living in the future with this one. Have a fun one! by cass210 (Fri 20th Aug 2021 8:33am)

My current place is a 3 bed flat and one bathroom so I think it's uncommon. by cass210 (Fri 20th Aug 2021 9:46am)

I decided to watch Princess Mononoke last night, what a film that is. Would recommend if you fancy dipping your toes into anime, I'm just one of those basic bitches who likes the odd Studio Ghibli. My plans for later is going to consist of Dumpling Monkey and that makes me very happy. by cass210 (Sat 28th Aug 2021 10:55am)

Thank you for prompting me to contact the company I saw cleaning the next building's windows yesterday. I've not had my windows cleaned for a couple of years because, no joke, my ground floor neighbours complained that the pole cleaning my window messes up their windows.

When I was in Krakow 6 years ago, the pretzels off street vendors weren't even a zloty, back when it was 4 zloty to the pound. I ate like a king when I was there by cass210 (Thu 9th Sep 2021 8:15am)

Has anyone had any recent experiences with the Leather by Morgan shop round the back of St Enochs? I've been trying to up my wardrobe game and I fancy a nice biker jacket. Due to my body type I'd rather make sure it actually fits before I fork out the cash for one. I saw there was a thread a couple of years ago in here but it didn't mention what the typical price range was, which I can't Google as they have no internet presence. The guy has got excellent reviews on Google so he must be doing something right. Similarly if there's anywhere else anyone would recommend for a biker jacket then let me know. Cheers! Also what the fuck with with this rain, yesterday I wore a tank top and summer trousers for working from home and now it's looking like a monsoon by cass210 (Thu 9th Sep 2021 8:21am)

I met Billy Boyd at the King's Panto when I was 10, which was in-between the release of the two towers and return of the king. He was super nice to me being a massive LOTR fan girl by cass210 (Thu 9th Sep 2021 10:00am)

I remember one night me and my ex went to what seemed like a reasonably fancy restaurant and I ordered confit duck leg for my main. Cost me £5 by cass210 (Thu 9th Sep 2021 11:46am)

Yeah, I figured it would be an expensive purchase, just needed to know how expensive. Time to save those pennies, thanks for the recommendation! by cass210 (Thu 9th Sep 2021 3:54pm)

I've just been through this hell, should have looked at the steamie before I left Musselburgh over 2 hours ago 😭 by cass210 (Sat 11th Sep 2021 1:41pm)

When I was in Vancouver they had a very similar system but with lots of vehicles and it seemed like a real alternative to owning your own. Wish they'd do something similar here by cass210 (Thu 16th Sep 2021 8:26am)

I think realistically, of course public transport should be improved by integrating the ticketing systems, but there's no getting round that some areas of the city are just a pain to get to without a car. As you say, increasing on demand car hire would negate people owning their own vehicles and reduce the amount of cars parked doing nothing 99% of the time Edit: also forgot that they should just improve some journeys. Why does it take me 2 buses and over an hour to get from Anniesland to Dennistoun when I can just take a taxi and it takes 20 minutes by cass210 (Thu 16th Sep 2021 8:36am)

I have used the train, it is good. I think the main problem is that trains to there from Anniesland are limited, typically two an hour when I last checked. by cass210 (Thu 16th Sep 2021 11:41am)

True! by cass210 (Thu 16th Sep 2021 11:54am)

Correct, in the past for me it gets in at odd times for meeting people, more a wee moan I guess by cass210 (Thu 16th Sep 2021 2:06pm)

I got Iollas last year and they're still great. The price has gone up slightly but because I'm so blind it's still hell of a lot cheaper to go there than go to normal opticians. by cass210 (Sat 25th Sep 2021 11:25am)

Yup, I'm about -5 on both eyes and can confirm that thinning still comes as standard. by cass210 (Sat 25th Sep 2021 2:02pm)

I've been on this sub for a while (nearly 10 years on Reddit...oh boy) and I think the thing that made the biggest difference was the no news rules. I think it's incredibly important to discuss city news, but due to the actions of one user (we all know who they are) it's effectively banned. I'm not sure what can be done about it, this isn't a big enough traffic sub by itself to set up another sub, this is par for the course in other big subreddits when the user's don't agree with mod rules but alas I'm not sure what can be done about it on Reddit. by cass210 (Tue 28th Sep 2021 12:50pm)

AFAIK they are still banned and posting in some subreddit they made up themselves by cass210 (Tue 28th Sep 2021 1:07pm)

I live quite near the giant puddle on gwr and I couldn't believe my eyes when I came out and saw like 4 cars abandoned in it when pulling out earlier. You'd think people would learn how to drive through these puddles by cass210 (Wed 27th Oct 2021 10:14pm)

I left my house around 6pm and there was about 4 cars abandoned there, this must have been shortly before then by cass210 (Wed 27th Oct 2021 10:33pm)

And here was me thinking that my old walks home from city centre to kelvindale were outrageous, you've absolutely out done me all. I've done this walk steaming a few times because I'm an awful lightweight and taxis driving too fast at night can make me whitey. I usually walk through finnieston, Dumbarton road, McDonald's at crow road as a "reward" and then up through gartnavel to home. Considering I was drunk, alone and I'm a woman it's a miracle I've never had anything happen to me. I now just pay for a taxi or get someone to walk with me. by cass210 (Thu 28th Oct 2021 7:05pm)

That walking home thread has been having me in stitches, we're all mental with a drink in us by cass210 (Fri 29th Oct 2021 8:43am)

Does this mean that argyle street at finnieston is closed? It's not listed as closed on the get ready Glasgow website. I have something to attend in finnieston on Thursday evening and I usually drive by cass210 (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 1:20pm)

As long as it's open Thursday evening that's all I need. by cass210 (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 1:40pm)

Not on this occasion, but thanks for asking. That's Saturday. by cass210 (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 11:35pm)

This thankfully doesn't happen to me too often but I live in a dead end and cars park on one side, if I don't get out before the bin men do I'll be stuck in for another 20 minutes or so. by cass210 (Tue 9th Nov 2021 9:39am)

Nah honking the horn at the bin men definitely won't help, not sure what they expected to achieve by cass210 (Tue 9th Nov 2021 9:51am)

Off to the Yorkshire woods for a few days, never seen this part of the world so very excited. Our cabin has private hot tubs so I'm very excited! Have a nice weekend everyone ☺️ by cass210 (Fri 19th Nov 2021 10:04am)

The only thing good about coming back to work is remembering how good the Aldi sourdough part baked rolls are at having a wee roll to stick in your homemade soup (lentil, fyi). Perks of wfh I guess by cass210 (Mon 29th Nov 2021 1:18pm)

Why is this a thing? I'm usually one for observing a safe speed but fuck me if nobody actually follows that 50mph rules, including the police by cass210 (Mon 29th Nov 2021 1:43pm)

Just a shame the owner of West is absolutely bat shit crazy by cass210 (Fri 3rd Dec 2021 8:39am)

It's that classic thing of tasty beer but I don't want to give money to the owner. It's bloody hard with so many bad hospitality owners though. by cass210 (Fri 3rd Dec 2021 9:55am)

Can't really pin it down to a particular incident tbh, but if you Google west and look for news stories you'll see plenty of them. Mainly around staff wages and treatment of staff. by cass210 (Fri 3rd Dec 2021 12:58pm)

A situation I warned people about 6 days ago in work ended up coming to fruition thanks to a new pushy manager wanting software out and people forgetting what I'd mentioned. At least I have teams evidence to back up that I pointed this out. by cass210 (Wed 8th Dec 2021 9:59am)

It's actually really minor in the grand scheme of things, basically the business wanted some new change out but I warned them a few days ago that a last minute enhancement to it meant it would be tied up with a story that I'd put through and thus would delay release as our team generally doesn't want untested code in production. A new manager didn't understand this, the developers who worked on the story forgot my warning and basically half my story got released into live without it passing QA process. Thankfully it wasn't a new feature or something which would have broken being half released but it was more the principle of it than anything else. by cass210 (Wed 8th Dec 2021 11:27am)

Just adding words on there but I think there is a move in our team to feature toggle everything so you can safely release untested code into production. It's crazy but I can see the logic by cass210 (Wed 8th Dec 2021 1:17pm)

Aldi specially selected all butter mince pies. Not bad! by cass210 (Wed 8th Dec 2021 4:30pm)

Still not put the tree up. Anyone else? by cass210 (Mon 13th Dec 2021 8:34am)

Well I did it, I put up the Christmas tree. I'm honestly convinced at this stage that real trees are less of a faff than real ones. by cass210 (Tue 14th Dec 2021 8:20am)

Mine was about 28 hours, went for a test at Wednesday 6pm and got it at 10pm last night by cass210 (Fri 17th Dec 2021 3:13pm)

After my PCR scare last week, I'm hiding until Christmas. by cass210 (Mon 20th Dec 2021 12:06pm)

I didn't realise the post the other day was from them, they've always got something interesting to say. I'm going to echo the sentiments of everyone else and hope they'll be doing ok very soon. ❣️ by cass210 (Tue 21st Dec 2021 2:24pm)

Final day of work until the 10th, absolutely done and buzzing for Christmas by cass210 (Thu 23rd Dec 2021 8:46am)

Sandyford is absolutely flat on its arse just now, I just had the joy of replacing my 5 year IUD, they were barely releasing the appointments but I managed to get it replaced it with one day left to spare. by cass210 (Mon 27th Dec 2021 9:38am)

Just to add, you can report SORN vehicles for being left on a road. I did this at my house because somebody had left a car there which was SORN, but they had parked it like a proper dick which meant it was causing a nuisance to all the neighbours. Not long after I reported it was gone. by cass210 (Tue 4th Jan 2022 10:15am)

Reading all the comments is making me realize how uncommon fireplaces are. My flat has the original fireplace (50s build) but alas the landlord has never got it checked or upto scratch by cass210 (Fri 7th Jan 2022 9:33am)

Same. I've been off for 2 weeks now, but somehow it's still not enough by cass210 (Mon 10th Jan 2022 9:07am)

For those who are trying to buy a property just now, I've just managed to get an offer accepted at 3.5% over home report value. This was after bidding at 10-15% HR value on other properties and not getting them. Keep trying and you will get there. Also yay I'm a homeowner.

His chippy order from the university cafe gives me nightmares by cass210 (Thu 20th Jan 2022 10:27am)

It's the cheese and curry sauce combined with the haggis which is an issue. I do like a haggis supper! University cafe is great, the ice creams are 🔥my granny lived until her 90s and she said that place had never changed so that's the sort of vibe it has by cass210 (Thu 20th Jan 2022 12:47pm)

Hi, my first degree was in social sciences and then I did the MSC IT at Glasgow University, which is a one year course. I did have some previous experience in IT from school so starting wasn't too bad but it did ramp up. I'm now 5 years into a software development career and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. When I did it you could get funding for the fees if you were Scottish which was very helpful. Afterwards I managed to get a job relatively easily. I know that CodeClan and that are a viable option but unfortunately some HR departments are quite strict on needing a degree. Hell one place even rejected me because I didn't have a 4 year degree in Computing Science. Feel free to PM if you have any questions by cass210 (Tue 25th Jan 2022 3:57pm)

Probably the comment about CodeClan, I'm just talking from personal experience! My manager turns down CodeClan folks immediately due to corporate HR requirements. by cass210 (Tue 25th Jan 2022 6:38pm)

Does anyone know where I can buy Coats and Moon/Moon thread in a shop in Glasgow? My sewing machine seems to hate Guttermann for some reason but that seems to be thread of choice for most sewing related shops in Glasgow or the wider area. I need some thread for a project but I'm not fancying my chances of matching this online from a grainy picture on eBay. by cass210 (Thu 27th Jan 2022 12:34pm)

Dunno about cheap but that might be something Mandors can do for you by cass210 (Thu 27th Jan 2022 12:33pm)

Mandors sells Guttermann, I'll see if Fabric Bazar will do what I'm looking for by cass210 (Thu 27th Jan 2022 12:56pm)

Not even anywhere to sit after you get it! by cass210 (Sat 29th Jan 2022 10:22am)

It's weird as I think the community could support another decent pub/restaurant but there's just not the takers for some reason. I'm moving right next to lock 27 soon though so at least I'm stumbling distance home by cass210 (Sat 29th Jan 2022 11:08am)

Conversely, I work for SLC and I love my job. However, I'm in technology group which is a vastly different kettle of fish than say operations. by cass210 (Tue 1st Feb 2022 2:52pm)

The promotions thing is still an issue which they're currently trying to fix, I'm hoping to get a promotion fairly soon under it but if I don't you can bet I'll be looking for a new job! But apart from that, think it depends on the team you get. My team is great. by cass210 (Wed 2nd Feb 2022 11:46am)

Virgin is good but I've decided to chuck them as they're so expensive. by cass210 (Thu 3rd Feb 2022 4:20pm)

Yeah I've done the same thing, just left it to go up and up. They didn't even offer me any decent deals to stay after 1 hour 40 minutes on the phone. Maybe I'll go back in the future if they're offering a decent deal but until then I'm moving to someone else and feeling like a rich bugger on a much cheaper deal. by cass210 (Thu 3rd Feb 2022 5:41pm)

Dunno how I managed this but I got a flat for 5K over in Anniesland back in January. by cass210 (Sat 12th Feb 2022 9:01am)

As someone who's taken up dressmaking up as a pandemic hobby, please do this. I think there's definitely space for a more fashionable fabric shop in Glasgow. I'm just about to hit my 30s but I feel far too young to shop in most of the fabric shops currently available in Glasgow (not been to Bawn, but that's because I live West and currently don't have a reason to visit the Southside much). by cass210 (Sat 12th Feb 2022 6:15pm)

I've only been to one gig there but it was amazing, the Kerrang Relentless tour 2009 (could be 2010) with MSI headlining. I don't think they come round to Scotland too often so it was a good thing I caught them. by cass210 (Thu 17th Feb 2022 10:00am)

Is the Cathouse open? by cass210 (Fri 18th Feb 2022 1:06pm)

First day of my 30s. So far it's been spent in joggies with a square sausage sandwich. by cass210 (Mon 21st Feb 2022 11:30am)

Has someone seen the advert that Paesano are putting out for Professional Pizza Taster? Basically they want free social media coverage in exchange for a pizza every couple of weeks. by cass210 (Fri 25th Feb 2022 10:31am)

Congratulations! I'll be you in one weeks time. Yesterday I signed my life away at the solicitors by cass210 (Sat 26th Feb 2022 10:18am)

Would you consider a style analysis? I had one last year and it's a total game changer as to how to approach your wardrobe. If you're wanting to start afresh especially. I can't confirm if she's any good yet but I recently bought the analysis plus shop package from style man stylist on Instagram for my bf and I thought it was very good value considering I paid the same for just an analysis last year (can't recommend the one I had as I think they only do ladieswear but it's styled by Susie if you want to look them up) by cass210 (Sun 27th Feb 2022 9:16am)

What's the quickest way to get boxes in the west end? Despite not owning a lot, I've apparently underestimated how many boxes I need for moving 🙃 by cass210 (Wed 2nd Mar 2022 7:06am)

I'd be happy to take those off you when you're back! by cass210 (Wed 2nd Mar 2022 8:12am)

I need a quote for a replacement sink (joys of house buying), where's the easiest place to get such a thing? I know there's check a trade but thought I'd ask here in case there's something more local I'm not aware of by cass210 (Mon 14th Mar 2022 12:42pm)

Unfortunately it's for my bathroom which is pretty cramped as is! Thanks for the tip by cass210 (Tue 15th Mar 2022 8:16am)

I was worried this was about me for a second until I realised there's no way you can fit a family of 3 in this flat I've just moved into unless you like no space by cass210 (Thu 17th Mar 2022 1:19pm)

Dunno if he does repairs but I think that Leather by Morgan shop would know where to go for this by cass210 (Tue 22nd Mar 2022 8:22am)

I did it a couple of days ago and I'm glad I did. Also very lucky that the place I've moved to is warm after an hour or two of heating. by cass210 (Fri 1st Apr 2022 8:41am)

Not relevant to this thread but I've missed out on the subsidy because I had the audacity to have a completion date on my house set for after they've paid the subsidy into the council tax account. Annoying. by cass210 (Mon 4th Apr 2022 2:41pm)

I paid £5k over for my flat in Anniesland, but that's because the flat needed work and nobody else wanted it except from me. by cass210 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 5:15pm)

I didn't get a hand written letter and now I feel cheated by cass210 (Thu 14th Apr 2022 1:12pm)

Is JawBrew worth visiting? I live in Anniesland so dead easy for me to get to Milngavie and I love a craft beer pub by cass210 (Fri 15th Apr 2022 1:44pm)

I quite like non Viet for a Vietnamese, the pho is 👌🏻 by cass210 (Fri 29th Apr 2022 9:21am)

The other screens are ok but the main screen, even me as a 5'6 woman thinks the the seating is a bit small for me by cass210 (Wed 4th May 2022 8:49am)

I live there and I would say it has good facilities as others have mentioned, and not too far from places which have hip bars and restaurants that you're looking for. If you're from London then getting to the cool bits will seem mega quick to you. One thing I will mention which nobody else has is The Kitchen behind Morrisons, great wee place for a morning roll and soup/toasties at lunch. Mega cheap too. Also Lock 27 serves a lovely Tennents. by cass210 (Thu 12th May 2022 4:53pm)

Love the chip chik Inn! They do a decent chippie pizza which is a thing where I'm from but not so much in Glasgow it seems by cass210 (Sat 28th May 2022 11:17am)

Didn't think this warranted it's own thread, does anyone know if Belle and Blackley in town work with wavy hair? I emailed them about a month ago to ask if they would do a curly cut for me and apparently I've been so busy I've not noticed that they didn't reply until now, their website seems to be more heavily focussed on curly/kinky hair, whilst I'm definitely in the 2b/c camp. Not sure where else you can get a curly cut for wavy hair by cass210 (Tue 31st May 2022 9:19am)

I've not heard of this guy before, I'll give him a Google. I'm in desperate need of a chop. Thanks! by cass210 (Tue 31st May 2022 10:21am)

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. They seem to get rave reviews but not replying to my communication at all has really put me off trying again. Glad to hear you've found somewhere which meets your needs. ☺️ by cass210 (Tue 31st May 2022 11:56am)

Does anyone happen to know if the empire in Clydebank is still doing the saver Tuesdays? The last update on their website is from 2015 and it's been that long since I went that I can't remember if the price for booking online is the same as the saver Tuesdays tickets (I remember them being £5-6 ish? Like I said it's been a while) by cass210 (Mon 6th Jun 2022 11:03am)

Isn't this also the case with houses though, since it will be left before the owner is up and they'll be liable to theft? I always find the exclusion of flats an odd one by cass210 (Mon 20th Jun 2022 5:07pm)

I bought tickets for the Edinburgh runs in February 2020...been rescheduled twice but hopefully I can finally see it this September 🤞 by cass210 (Tue 21st Jun 2022 3:40pm)

Since booking I've moved house and apparently I selected tickets by post! Thankfully has been sorted now by cass210 (Wed 22nd Jun 2022 8:40am)

The Sandyford is the correct answer, however they seem to release very limited appointments. I tried for a couple of months to get an IUD removed and replaced and I only managed to get an appointment about 1 week before it was due to expire, during COP26 funnily enough by cass210 (Wed 20th Jul 2022 4:07pm)

I moved earlier this year and ended up with heaps via asking friends and family, a wanted ad on Olio and even a Reddit user in this sub when I commented in the Steamie. I ended up with so many I donated a bunch to my ex neighbour who was also moving. Best of luck with your move! by cass210 (Sat 23rd Jul 2022 7:58am)

For future reference, Designer Waxing in town is honestly the best experience I've had with waxing ever. I go for a Hollywood and I can easily get a 7 week wax out of them when previously I was 5-6 weeks. Everyone is dead nice and it's worth every penny, hardly have issues with ingrowns anymore. by cass210 (Mon 1st Aug 2022 5:46pm)

I went to see My Old School at the GFT last night, would recommend seeing it as it's only out for a couple of weeks. I'd never heard of the story the film covers but it's absolutely wild that he got away with it for as long as he did. by cass210 (Fri 26th Aug 2022 9:58am)

I got recommended Bryan Gallacher in this sub as I was looking for a curly cut and honestly he's brilliant. He's based in Charing cross so relatively convenient by cass210 (Thu 15th Sep 2022 10:12am)

I recently changed to using Loud Nails (find them on Instagram) and she seemed pretty clued up on this sort of thing. Worth dropping a message to her by cass210 (Wed 30th Nov 2022 11:15pm)

Yeah she was really good with me, I'm getting back to it from what I thought was my nails being weird...she thinks it's an allergy to hema and gave me this whole spiel about the gel bottle in particular. Hope it goes well for you! by cass210 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 12:13pm)

Bryan Gallagher has really transformed my hair since I started going to him in July. He's based at the Seven Sins salon in merchant city. by cass210 (Sat 17th Dec 2022 7:33pm)

Some of the February dates are not out for Avanti: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/44703.aspx If you keep an eye on that page that will let you know when it's out. I've managed to get the advance tickets nearly every time over the last few years with this method. by cass210 (Wed 28th Dec 2022 1:20pm)

My mum works at the college, it's something to do with the windows. That's all I know. by cass210 (Wed 11th Jan 2023 11:29am)

It wasn't until I went out last night that I'd heard about the burst water main in Milngavie. Even weirder considering that someone I knew had absolutely no water in Ibrox, meanwhile I just noticed some lower than usual pressure in Anniesland/Temple sort of area. by cass210 (Wed 25th Jan 2023 9:01am)

I see what you did there by cass210 (Thu 26th Jan 2023 8:47pm)

Since 2019 I've been cited 3 times. 1st time I got to court and didn't get picked. 2 years off. December 2021 I got cited again, as they were doing automatic excusals for employees deemed essential by the government (I work in the civil service) I was excused with a photocopy of my letter from work. I moved house and thought it would get me a break but nope I was cited again in October just there, but had to get a fairly last minute excusal as I had a death in my family. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get picked. Out of everyone I know, I've been cited the most times and nobody else seems to get bothered. by cass210 (Thu 26th Jan 2023 8:58pm)

Does anyone have a recommendation a nice margarita cocktails in the city centre? I'm going there for dinner with a friend this weekend but unsure where does a good one. The place we're going for dinner doesn't do cocktails (I think) by cass210 (Thu 2nd Feb 2023 4:10pm)

This looks interesting and I've not heard of, I'll keep it in mind. Thank you! by cass210 (Fri 3rd Feb 2023 9:01am)

Yeah I reported one on the approach from bearsden road to the roundabout just outside anniesland Morrison petrol station and it's already been fixed! You can also report lampposts being out which seems to get them dealt with quickly. The council is shite but I guess they don't have eyes everywhere so for me reporting it means at least I know I've done something about it. In addition, anyone who gets their car injured would hopefully find out the council was aware of the issue. by cass210 (Fri 3rd Feb 2023 10:55am)

Just to add to this, some places are accessible but perhaps have dodgy pavements or even cobbles to overcome to get inside (specifically thinking of Stereo for this one) by cass210 (Sat 4th Feb 2023 11:06am)

I would suggest dropping them off outside BBC Scotland - there's a great big roundabout and it's only a couple of minutes walk over the river to the hydro. Same applies for pickup. by cass210 (Mon 6th Feb 2023 12:30pm)

I'm a two minute walk away and have been around the area during the day when I take my car to the garage at the industrial estate not far from you. It seems pleasant and quiet enough. It may not be the most happening area but you're not that far away from other areas where stuff is happening. I like being able to come back to my flat and everyone is having a nice quiet evening and I can get decent sleep. by cass210 (Fri 10th Feb 2023 12:07pm)

The post has been deleted on Instagram but locavore were looking for volunteers for a half day every week in exchange for...wait for it...a veg box. Even if you bought their most expensive box it would be worth less than just paying someone. Thankfully the commenters pointed out all the fund raising they've done recently 😂 by cass210 (Thu 2nd Mar 2023 10:54am)

I've been on their veg box for a few years because I like the idea of eating more sustainably, but the number of times recently I've received fruit/veg which are very clearly off when they packed it is just frustrating. by cass210 (Sun 9th Apr 2023 8:37am)

Grid Fabrics is an online shop who's office is based across from central station - worth keeping an eye on their Instagram page as they do the occasional open days. They might be open to letting you swing by if the times match up - I'd message on Instagram by cass210 (Wed 14th Jun 2023 11:23am)

H&P are the factors for my close, however I just told them that the gutters needed cleared (3rd floor) and they just did it without having the owners needing to vote for whether the works are required. Get them told. by cass210 (Wed 19th Jul 2023 10:55am)
