I’m only 33 but I genuinely look at most of the youth in Glasgow in disbelief is what they wear and look like, the make up on girls is hilarious. by deadkestrel (Fri 5th Apr 2019 6:22am)

The lads also make me laugh wearing Hugo boss swimming shorts with a Canada goose jacket. by deadkestrel (Fri 5th Apr 2019 9:28am)

Poor staff by deadkestrel (Wed 17th Apr 2019 12:01pm)

Think I’d be pissed off if my finish time was moved to an extra hour regardless of where I worked if I’m being honest. Obviously it’s great for a night out but as somebody who has worked in bars and done a ‘clopen’ this is pretty shit. In the winter/Xmas time too this will be even worse. by deadkestrel (Thu 18th Apr 2019 11:27am)

Lot of shadow bans in here by deadkestrel (Sat 13th Jul 2019 9:11pm)

That area always seems to be a dumping ground, same as the area behind lewbowskis in Finnieston. by deadkestrel (Wed 17th Jul 2019 9:56pm)

Absolutely hate driving it, the worst cunts are the guys who come onto the motorway and casually pass over three lanes straight into the fast lane in heavy traffic. by deadkestrel (Thu 18th Jul 2019 7:08pm)

Sounds like one of those bullshit companies who advertise a job as marketing/events and its really selling on the streets. Stay well clear. by deadkestrel (Fri 19th Jul 2019 6:16pm)

Bibis in Partick! by deadkestrel (Tue 23rd Jul 2019 7:42am)

Theres a rabble of them who meet outside Sainsburys on Sauchiehall Street every morning. Walk past them all the time as they are getting their pep talk from the leaders, feel like telling them to run whilst they still can. by deadkestrel (Tue 23rd Jul 2019 9:25am)

To be honest I keep bloody forgetting about it in my cupboard due to work etc so I forget to feed it and it dies. Really wanted to make a pizza tonight on the bbq and don’t have any hence wanting to buy some, by deadkestrel (Tue 23rd Jul 2019 12:10pm)

Ha, it’s by far the best Mexican restaurant in Glasgow, surprised more people don’t know it 👀 by deadkestrel (Tue 23rd Jul 2019 12:18pm)

Could they maybe empty our bins first?? by deadkestrel (Thu 25th Jul 2019 7:48am)

I work weekends so get to enjoy the pub midweek and I must say I’m surprised by the amount of places mentioned here, probably because I don’t experience it on a busy Saturday afternoon (which is my idea of hell anyway) by deadkestrel (Thu 25th Jul 2019 7:48am)

There’s the watch shop opposite Pret on Byres Road, they are always pretty good. by deadkestrel (Sat 27th Jul 2019 12:10pm)

Medical testing? by deadkestrel (Thu 8th Aug 2019 9:13am)

Used to live on park terrace lane. For such a good area the rubbish collections were terrible, they also took away the bins on the street so people just used to dump all their rubbish in the big black bins for the lane meaning they’d be full again after a day of being emptied. Well worth the obscene amount of council tax we were paying by deadkestrel (Fri 9th Aug 2019 6:06am)

Avoid it's the cunts who stop you on the street asking for money. by deadkestrel (Tue 13th Aug 2019 11:01am)

Could hear it loud and clear in Charing Cross, the gigs are never that loud are they? Pretty sure it was on until 11pm too...wonder if they got many complaints? by deadkestrel (Mon 19th Aug 2019 10:46am)

Cycling in the southside is an absolute death trap defo rather be on the pavement. by deadkestrel (Mon 19th Aug 2019 7:16pm)

I try not to use the pavement at all but sometimes you just have to, of course when im on the pavement im super slow and don't run into anybody. by deadkestrel (Mon 19th Aug 2019 7:38pm)

Partick is class, one of my favourite areas of Glasgow. You should check out Bibi's Sparklehorse Three Judges Six Degrees North Basta Namu No 16(technically Byres Road) So many more options on there too. If you're after a haircut I recommend Martin Jones Barbers just next to the train station. by deadkestrel (Wed 21st Aug 2019 8:57am)

My first job was a pot wash in a pub, could try that. by deadkestrel (Mon 26th Aug 2019 12:23pm)

Yeah let's just keep all the shops empty instead of letting small businesses in trying to make something new. It's almost as if there is a demand for something other than Greggs, vape shops and paddy power? Madness I know. Why don't you go into a local cafe or barber shop and discover why it's so much more than kombucha and 'wanky' haircuts. Patrick is an amazing mix of everything the more the fucking merrier. by deadkestrel (Tue 27th Aug 2019 8:19pm)

It's also a G1 venue. by deadkestrel (Sat 31st Aug 2019 9:20am)

Really not true, different places can taste very different based on how they keep their kegs. by deadkestrel (Wed 4th Sep 2019 9:27pm)

Getting too many of these vague threads in this sub lately. It's either food/barbers or places to live. Maybe even state what kind of food you like? by deadkestrel (Wed 25th Sep 2019 9:56am)

Is that what people are paying to live in Glasgow harbour?! Fucking hell! by deadkestrel (Wed 25th Sep 2019 2:21pm)

Fill empty shops with small young businesses. Start cleaning up litter. Stop letting old buildings go to waste. Get some decent shops in the city other than chain retailers and restaurants. Make tourists want to come here. It can't be that hard can it? by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Oct 2019 2:32pm)

Does make me laugh you always see blue badges on big range rovers. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Oct 2019 4:23pm)

A walk across the rooftops is still one of the best sounding albums I've ever heard. Perfect album to solo drink too. by deadkestrel (Thu 3rd Oct 2019 9:18pm)

Don't mean to come across as a cunt but what do you do for...fun? From the sounds of it you hardly go out? by deadkestrel (Sat 5th Oct 2019 3:46pm)

Are there plans to connect this lane to anything? As it stands its just a straight line down a road, is there a website with their proposed plans. I am both a cyclist and driver, everybody is a cunt end of. by deadkestrel (Mon 7th Oct 2019 4:55pm)

Why would anybody in their right mind spend £30 a day on this? Have no they researched Glasgow at all? by deadkestrel (Thu 10th Oct 2019 8:20am)

The one in Waitrose on byres road is really good, one of the only reasons I ever go in there by deadkestrel (Thu 10th Oct 2019 8:17pm)

Fat Buddha don't do stone island or palace. They do more workwear like Filson, Red wing and Edwin. If you want stone island you should check out 18 Montrose https://18montrose.com by deadkestrel (Thu 10th Oct 2019 8:16pm)

Err normally try something new every time. It's made fresh at the counter and is great. Beats a meal deal hands down. by deadkestrel (Thu 10th Oct 2019 9:45pm)

Yeah I'm a barber and I stay away from kids cuts absolute nightmare. Although we don't say it at the time we all hate cutting kids hair. Sorry. If the child is quiet and still then it's all good but kids constantly moving their head and crying whilst trying to operate sharp scissors is not fun. My advice would be try a busy barbers near a school as they'll be used to it and be able to do it quickly. by deadkestrel (Fri 18th Oct 2019 8:49am)

Nah it'll be empty for years like most of the street, it's far too big to take on. by deadkestrel (Fri 18th Oct 2019 2:29pm)

Surprised it lasted that long. Real shame for the staff, hope they find something. I left working in retail 2 years ago after working for 12 years in it. Saw this coming and decided to get out as soon as I could. by deadkestrel (Fri 18th Oct 2019 2:52pm)

I'd recommend grunting growler in the west end. Jehad is the man when it comes to craft beer. Not in the city but dead easy to get to. https://instagram.com/gruntinggrowler?igshid=15pllfle6gv1v by deadkestrel (Fri 18th Oct 2019 4:47pm)

Think something drastic needs to happen, as it stands Sauchiehall Street is a complete embarrassment for a supposed major European city. Put that together with all the shite on union street/four corners surprised how the council have allowed the city centre to be this shite. by deadkestrel (Fri 18th Oct 2019 6:32pm)

Bon marche just called in administrators too and it's next door to Watt Brothers, oh dear. by deadkestrel (Fri 18th Oct 2019 7:45pm)

Looking forward to the moany cunts on here going mental over this. Looks class by deadkestrel (Thu 24th Oct 2019 12:06pm)

Man you really need to get out more. Live a little mate. by deadkestrel (Sun 27th Oct 2019 6:59pm)

Same folk who refuse to pay over £5 for a haircut any time a barber thread is mentioned. by deadkestrel (Sun 27th Oct 2019 6:59pm)

Walked past this the other day and just assumed it was an old place that had shut down years ago. You can see the room above in daylight and it's full of clutter. by deadkestrel (Thu 31st Oct 2019 9:54pm)

There are traffic lights right behind Lidl?! by deadkestrel (Sun 3rd Nov 2019 11:35pm)

Cheers! by deadkestrel (Tue 12th Nov 2019 8:22pm)

That was way too organised for bams. The only thing I can think of is Diwali but that's normally in October? by deadkestrel (Tue 12th Nov 2019 8:21pm)

I live in the area and you can park in most of if for free after 6pm and sometimes weekends on certain streets. by deadkestrel (Wed 13th Nov 2019 1:34pm)

Used to love the ones at Smoke BBQ but it shut last year. Dennistoun Bar B Que is the best. by deadkestrel (Thu 14th Nov 2019 10:18am)

During day I can't think of anywhere. Most of the area is free after 6. You could park it in Govan/kinngpark as a temp solution until the permit comes through? by deadkestrel (Sat 16th Nov 2019 8:04pm)

Another empty unit on Sauchiehall street, brilliant. Hope the staff find something for Christmas. by deadkestrel (Tue 10th Dec 2019 8:42pm)

Think most sushi places will do a vegan option as most vegetable sushi will be vegan outside of maybe fish sauce being used? Unless I'm missing something really obvious in animal content. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 4:10pm)

Was looking forward to trying Sugo but this has left a sour taste in my mouth. It's a real shame as paesano is a firm favourite of mine since it opened. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 8:30pm)

Fucking hell mate calm down it's just a pizza. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 8:36pm)

I honestly can't believe people who don't like paesano, especially this guy saying the crusts are shit..absolute madness. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 8:41pm)

Well looks like I'm not going to paesano anymore, fuck those guys. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 9:00pm)

Think they are saying Manchester Sugo opened a second place after Glasgow trademarked the name. Still shite craic for them to trademark it 4 years after the one in Manchester opened. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 9:31pm)

I live just near LaMora in Charing Cross, that's my go to at the moment. by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 9:41pm)

Have you read the reply on the Facebook page by the Manchester Sugo? by deadkestrel (Wed 11th Dec 2019 11:11pm)

Sugo manchester replied to their post saying they opened their second restaurant before even knowing the Glasgow one existed and were contacted by them. by deadkestrel (Thu 12th Dec 2019 7:47am)

Errols is amazing too, if you can get in. by deadkestrel (Thu 12th Dec 2019 9:07am)

As much as I hate it I think they'll walk it. The media has played too big a part in making them look the best out of everybody else. Fucking grim. I am very eager to be wrong on this. by deadkestrel (Thu 12th Dec 2019 9:05am)

I changed my career at 30 and became a barber. Absolutely loving it, did a night course as I was working in a shop cleaning and answering phone. Can be a bit weird starting off again after 30 but if you want it you'll get it. Good luck by deadkestrel (Thu 12th Dec 2019 12:03pm)

If you are dead set on 'trashing' them why don't you go to a charity shop and get some and donate them back after use. Fast fashion is shite. by deadkestrel (Fri 20th Dec 2019 8:17am)

The whole west end is snobby patter on here is honking. Maybe the reason you think that most people in the west end aren't from Glasgow is because there is a fucking university there. by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Dec 2019 1:49pm)

Think you're the one with the hurt feelings over people using their own money to buy something. by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Dec 2019 2:12pm)

I worked in retail for 12 years as a store manager for various clothes shops. Still get PTSD around Christmas as it reminds me of working 60 hour weeks listening to godawful music on repeat being told I was a cunt by old ladies because something was sold out. Been enjoying #ruinedchristmas on twitter to relive some of the situations I used to find myself in. This is now my 3rd Christmas not working in retail, so glad I got out. by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Dec 2019 2:50pm)

This. Large parts of finnieston is littered with old beds/chairs weekly. by deadkestrel (Mon 30th Dec 2019 10:03am)

I love living here but get seriously annoyed when I visit other big UK cities and notice just how much better the city centres are competed with Glasgow. Nowhere near as much litter and not half the street of closed shops like saichiehall st. by deadkestrel (Mon 30th Dec 2019 1:50pm)

Where did you move to? by deadkestrel (Mon 6th Jan 2020 10:22am)

I changed my career at 30 from retail manager to barber. In between I took 6 months off working in bars and restaurants, going from being the boss for 12 years to being a part timer was honestly one of the best things I ever did...fuck the salary it only brought me misery (although I often wonder what exactly I used to spend £2k a month on). My advice is just fucking go for it, you have £8k in savings which is loads. Good luck by deadkestrel (Mon 6th Jan 2020 10:27am)

Because that would make too much sense? by deadkestrel (Mon 6th Jan 2020 1:50pm)

You really need to get it out of your head that people are judging you when you go out. It's a complete fabrication in your head, nobody gives a shit what you are doing. You are especially way off calling miller and carter posh when it's a chain restaurant usually just full of people with meal deal vouchers. Spend your money how you like to and let others do the same. by deadkestrel (Tue 21st Jan 2020 5:55am)

If you want something completely different I can't recommend Rawnchy enough. It's a vegan cake made with raw ingredients and it's absolutely amazing.

I signed up yesterday and it was on 30,000 people I'm still in the queue this is insane. I became self employed last year after being PAYE my entire life, I've never claimed any money from jobseekers and would really like some help now that I can no longer work. This is very frustrating. by deadkestrel (Wed 25th Mar 2020 4:58pm)

Thanks for this, this is my first year being self employed and I was waiting until next month to submit my returns as as far as I can tell they are still doing last year (2018-2019) when I was employed by somebody. I have no idea if im right in this, been trying to get help from accountants but they have all been too busy to help. by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Mar 2020 10:05am)

Has anybody got any advice on how to get in contact with the council to tell them we can't pay the council tax due to me and my wife being unable to work? The website for change in circumstances is down and they have also taken down the phone line...? Is it worth just cancelling the direct debit? Been in the queue for universal credit also for 2 days now to validate my identity....this is absolute chaos. I'm self employed and there is funding being announced today but I genuinely feel it's going to be impossible to get. by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Mar 2020 10:18am)

Cheers for this, I really mean it. I managed to get through to an accountant who is also helping me. Trying to use the gov.uk website honestly gives me a mental breakdown. by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Mar 2020 3:53pm)

So my worst fears came true yesterday regarding the self employed deal. I became self employed last July so therefore haven't submitted a tax return as this current tax year I was PAYE. In touch with an accountant and maybe they can shed more light if I can claim. Bit annoying that I've paid tax all my life and made the decision to be self employed which has well and truly fucked me. We shall see, still trying to get through to universal credit after 4 days on the phone. Just can't wait to go out to the pub again and socialise by deadkestrel (Fri 27th Mar 2020 8:51am)

Yeah I've been putting pretty much all my money away as I didn't know what to expect with the tax bill come April and didn't want to be caught out so I'm fine for cash for time being which is good.

I mean its all everybody seems to be saying these days so we are all our own worst enemy because we all have to be outside to see how many people are also out. There are a lot of people out in the west end but I haven't exactly seen many groups of people all sat together, most if not all people are practising the 2 metre thing. Only people you see not obeying any sort of rule are neds and Deliveroo cyclists. by deadkestrel (Thu 7th May 2020 1:11pm)

Not as far as I know, there's a few in the area. It's fairly big and has a red sign and is generally full with people from Asia which is always a great sign. by deadkestrel (Thu 7th May 2020 3:43pm)

If I need a long run I usually go full length of Clyde from Partick to Glasgow green then up towards cowcaddens then joining the kelvin walkway from GWR the back down to Partick again. I've found actually running on the streets is way quieter than the park. Also running up to bearsden and back from my house in finnieston was pretty decent and quiet. by deadkestrel (Fri 8th May 2020 1:24pm)

I am a barber, I haven't worked for 7 weeks. Anybody who is cutting hair right now is a cunt. End of. If you hair needs to be short I recommend you do it yourself. Even after we go back to work there's no chance we'll be doing shaves any time soon. The amount of people walking about glasgow with fresh skin fades is sickening. by deadkestrel (Mon 11th May 2020 11:54am)

What a question by deadkestrel (Tue 12th May 2020 7:04pm)

I cycle a lot and sometimes it's honestly safer to be on the pavement. If I do have to switch to pavement I move slow and basically don't be a cunt. The roads are littered with potholes which would do some fucking damage if you fell off. by deadkestrel (Tue 12th May 2020 7:07pm)

I don't think you get what I'm saying. If I'm on the pavement I'm going walking pace and not asking anybody to move and will switch to road once I get past potholes or dangerous lanes. I totally get there are people who go fast on the pavements who expect everybody to move out of the way and I agree with you is shite behaviour. Some of the roads in Glasgow are impossible to cycle on without having to be in the middle of the road and therefore blocking traffic. I'm not scared of cycling I'm scared of cars who don't give a shit knocking me over. by deadkestrel (Tue 12th May 2020 10:00pm)

I definitely welcome this idea of a street long food festival but you can only imagine the litter it'll bring. The area was a bomb site after pride/fiesta.

But you are allowed out in your car? Yes it's busy out because a lot of people live in the west end like every other suburb of Glasgow, everywhere is the same. Everywhere I've been during lockdown has been busy and for the most part I'd say 99% of people are following social distancing measures.

Me and the wife went down to the Clyde along hydro for a nice walk in the sun and we had to get off the path as it was honestly a free for all of cyclists, runners and people. I don't mind people being out as they are just doing what we were but honestly some people have no grasp on what's going on and manners. I don't mind cyclists and joggers as I am one of them but its the ones who honestly don't read the path in front of them and just try and squeeze in an inch space to get past. Idiots man, all you need to do is wait a minute for the path to be clear then move on. Or the ones who come up behind you at speed with no bell warning, its the reasons why people hate cyclists. by deadkestrel (Sun 31st May 2020 9:52am)

Paesano actually bought their own bin and places it at the bottom of the gates on Gibson street. They recognised their boxes were a problem and attempted to fix it unlike GCC who seemingly do fuck all every year. I live just next to the park and I pay a lot of council tax for this shite. Really hate Glasgow sometimes. by deadkestrel (Mon 22nd Jun 2020 3:11pm)

I genuinely don't understand why younger people can't just sit down and relax when they drink on the park, why so they have to run about shouting at the top of their lungs and why are 14-17 year old girls now basically wearing underwear when they are out, why do they all have their arse cheeks out. Fucking bizarre behaviour. by deadkestrel (Fri 26th Jun 2020 10:11am)

From what I've read they've housed the majority of the homeless and junkie population in the hotels around town.

As a barber looking at my books when we go back...we really aren't by deadkestrel (Sun 5th Jul 2020 3:52am)

My car got keyed in dennistoun recently too, fucking annoying. by deadkestrel (Sun 5th Jul 2020 4:26am)

It's been closed since lockdown. It's back open 15th July by deadkestrel (Sun 5th Jul 2020 4:31am)

Aye I can imagine, is the entrance on the side of watches of Switzerland? It'll be fun when they start building that hotel just up the road on bath street in terms of noise. Must get some amount of junkies there too I'm not a fan of city centre living myself as every time I've done it you basically pay over the odds for a white box in the sky but I really like the look of that garden area. by deadkestrel (Sun 5th Jul 2020 7:24am)

It'd be a junkies paradise up there if it was open to public by deadkestrel (Sun 5th Jul 2020 7:37am)

It being a new build there too you probably won't get much resale value too. by deadkestrel (Mon 6th Jul 2020 7:31am)

Is this for some beer garden or something? by deadkestrel (Mon 6th Jul 2020 3:59pm)

Nothing is open until the 15th to sit inside. by deadkestrel (Tue 7th Jul 2020 3:52am)

What industry were you in? by deadkestrel (Tue 7th Jul 2020 2:26pm)

Right so the hospitality industry? Try the Glasgow bartenders club on Facebook. by deadkestrel (Tue 7th Jul 2020 2:47pm)

You need more than £16k in savings to get UC must have been a pretty decent package you got by deadkestrel (Tue 7th Jul 2020 5:55pm)

Tbf a large chunk of donations came from DJs. Calvin Harris donated 20k by deadkestrel (Thu 9th Jul 2020 6:13am)

What a cunt reply. Literally everybody I knew when we went out clubbing on drugs would also drink booze all night. by deadkestrel (Thu 9th Jul 2020 6:11am)

I don't get why they've all flown to a private party for Peggy gou and showed no social distancing popping off magnums of champagne. All very insensitive. by deadkestrel (Thu 9th Jul 2020 6:10am)

In my experience the only people who drink water were the chinstrokers stood next to the booth. by deadkestrel (Thu 9th Jul 2020 9:32am)

I'm a barber in the west end. This restyle fee sounds weird as it'll only be 3 months growth? All it'll need is a high guard on a clipper to get the bulk off and get it back to a desirable length which will take all of 5 minutes. My place is only charging £1 for a mask as we feel it's kinda ridiculous to place the extra costs on the customers during this. We are all skint and we've all had a difficult time so why should you pay more? We charge £20 already for a cut so we aren't losing out on that much, looking at my books it's the completely opposite as we are full until a week Monday. If you feel the prices are too much or they are taking the piss you should message them and tell them you aren't happy to pay, most people should accommodate. I've seen some absolutely ridiculous charges for PPE (I saw a hairdressers asking for £25 extra on the cut which is obscene) by deadkestrel (Tue 14th Jul 2020 10:32am)

Nothing to do with shop rental figures or equipment costs then? by deadkestrel (Tue 14th Jul 2020 12:20pm)

Not sure if I'm allowed to, will accept a DM though :) by deadkestrel (Tue 14th Jul 2020 3:12pm)

Good thing council tax is about to go up again! by deadkestrel (Thu 16th Jul 2020 2:12pm)

I went to this pub once as I live nearby and had the worst pint of guiness I've ever had in my life, couldn't even finish it. Really horrible atmosphere in there too and looked dirty as fuck. Just go the bon accord if you're in the area as it's one of the best pubs in Glasgow and they have a huge selection of glendronach whisky. by deadkestrel (Mon 20th Jul 2020 9:36am)

They should knock down the old bhs building and make that into a green space, same with the ruins of Victoria's. by deadkestrel (Tue 21st Jul 2020 12:32pm)

For a major European city Sauchiehall street is honestly an embarrassment. by deadkestrel (Tue 21st Jul 2020 8:41pm)

I mean the night club that burnt down a few years back on Sauchiehall st just opposite the bhs. by deadkestrel (Tue 21st Jul 2020 9:49pm)

hasn't been there for a while its over in the banking district now. by deadkestrel (Sun 26th Jul 2020 6:06pm)

It was like pretty much all of May and early June wasn't it? Definitely more than we normally get. by deadkestrel (Thu 30th Jul 2020 12:03pm)

Dismissing new and different things happens a lot on here too when a new restaurant/bar/event is discussed. I'm English with a Glaswegian mother and also my wife is Glaswegian and lived here for 6 years. I've definitely noticed this thing in Glasgow where some people really take pride in being working class and anybody who strives to break out of the class is almost defecting from being a true glaswegian and their roots. I find it really bizarre as surely everybody just wants to make the best of their life any way they can. by deadkestrel (Fri 31st Jul 2020 4:58am)

If you are planning to be there for hours a coffee an hour isn't really a fair deal for the cafe. by deadkestrel (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 7:53am)

I live in G3 and my place is the sandyford surgery on argyle street. The women on reception are honestly some of the rudest people I've ever met. Trying to get an appointment is like trying to get it to Fort Knox and is usually met with American psycho laughter down the phone. by deadkestrel (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 8:12am)

Anybody doing the restaurant thing today? by deadkestrel (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 8:10am)

We've booked Partick duck club tonight. Looking forward to it. by deadkestrel (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 9:34am)

I try and avoid cycle posts on fb it just winds me up so much the people spitting out so much vitriol and hatred towards cyclists. by deadkestrel (Thu 6th Aug 2020 7:02am)

Cranside kitchen is good just at the rotunda along the Clyde. by deadkestrel (Thu 6th Aug 2020 11:58am)

What job requires you to list this? Sounds a bit intense by deadkestrel (Thu 6th Aug 2020 7:38pm)

You do realise it was set up to keep restaurants in business? They won't be easily able to bend the rules to do takeaways as this would lead to millions around the UK just declaring fake meals and claiming back millions of pounds from the government. If there is a restaurant actually trying to do this then fuck them so much. by deadkestrel (Fri 7th Aug 2020 5:00am)

https://www.facebook.com/1542742226037534/posts/2563952590583154/?d=n Ramen dayo doing 20% off their takeaway right now. I imagine a few other places will follow suit soon when the mass redundancies start. by deadkestrel (Fri 7th Aug 2020 7:12am)

I think there will be mass redundancies in every industry when the furlough ends so there won't be as many people eating out. Whilst I hope I am wrong I just can't shake the fear I have that the new 6 months are going to be heavy shite for everybody. I already have around 5 friends who been made redundant throughout the UK. by deadkestrel (Fri 7th Aug 2020 7:25am)

Gonna need a breakdown of the bill cause this doesn't seem too bad for 9 people's food? That's £6.67 per head? Also you said to deposit was to secure the booking meaning you knew it wasn't for the food before you booked it? Something doesn't seem right about this at all? by deadkestrel (Tue 11th Aug 2020 1:06pm)

DELETED Ah right with you now, yeah very strange. by deadkestrel (Tue 11th Aug 2020 1:17pm)

Yeah bit of a brain fart with this, even so not getting £30 back between 9 people isn't the end of the world? You'd tip more than that normally on a table that big by deadkestrel (Tue 11th Aug 2020 1:20pm)

£3 each? Come on tightarse by deadkestrel (Wed 12th Aug 2020 7:08am)

Guessing you never tip then? That is completely normal for a group of 9 people surely? £3 each! Seeing as you got your 50% off discount too may as well give the staff something as they'll be so busy at the moment and working in the service industry is absolute shite at the minute. by deadkestrel (Wed 12th Aug 2020 7:19am)

Some fun you are, do you always pay individually for what you had in a big group too? by deadkestrel (Wed 12th Aug 2020 10:34am)

You can just park on a street near by. by deadkestrel (Thu 13th Aug 2020 11:51am)

Whilst I agree with most of what you said I regularly run along both sides of the Clyde and don't agree what you said about the paisley rd west section, it's a bit rough about the edges but it's more than fine to walk/run or cycle on. It is annoying that this is blocked though, I mean it would make far too much sense to have it open wouldn't it? Would be so good to have bars and restaurants along the Clyde but alas Glasgow CC strike again. They are supposed to be putting bars and shops with the Barclays head office thing aren't they? by deadkestrel (Thu 13th Aug 2020 6:43pm)

It's not the fault of the vendors it's the fault of the guys who own the place and charge ridiculous rents. At least platform was capped at £5 before covid. by deadkestrel (Sun 16th Aug 2020 2:27pm)

The rule came in on Friday for all pubs and restaurants in Scotland. by deadkestrel (Sun 16th Aug 2020 4:11pm)

Jesus, really? Didn't even realise that was a thing? Surely airbnb can see it on their end...this guy sounds dodgy as fuck. by deadkestrel (Mon 17th Aug 2020 2:59pm)

Yeah I know some vendors who work at these events and they make all their own food from scratch whilst others use frozen shop bought ingredients which they deep fry and charge £7 for. The owners of these food markets are the real enemy though they charge so much fucking money for rent. by deadkestrel (Tue 18th Aug 2020 7:30am)

I'm a barber down towards kelvingrove and I've took on a few of his clients now as he's gone awol. All his ex clients have basically said they can't contact him and nobody knows where he is? Never met the guy but hope he's alright. I've met Lisa though and she is absolutely mental. by deadkestrel (Wed 19th Aug 2020 6:42am)

You're not wrong, I used to run through town as it was way quieter than the west end and it was like the walking dead. by deadkestrel (Wed 26th Aug 2020 4:17pm)

I mean i guess it's caused a bit of disruption but there's plenty of ways around the west end which avoid kelvin way? You can go through the bottom of park on elsderlie street up through park circus and be on Gibson street in like an extra 5 mins. Wouldn't say that kelvin way being closed is the end of the world? I love it being closed personally. by deadkestrel (Sun 30th Aug 2020 5:26pm)

I work next to it and I use it every day, whenever I walk or run down it it's pretty busy? 🤷🏻‍♂️ by deadkestrel (Sun 30th Aug 2020 7:45pm)

Five March, Cail Bruich, The Gannet. by deadkestrel (Sun 30th Aug 2020 9:11pm)

I live just next to KG park and we pay a fucking price for council tax and it annoys me to no end how everything has just stopped. Basically paying for nothing at this point..im sure the big bosses are still taking their big wages and bonuses at the end of the year though. It doesn't help that people are also fucking stupid by just chucking their rubbish anywhere they want and even when it comes to recycling bins people are putting huge cardboard boxes in the bin without breaking it down. Victor Meldrew mode engaged! by deadkestrel (Mon 31st Aug 2020 8:59am)

Pretty much every pub I've been to has been great and the ones that aren't I just leave. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 5:54pm)

Pubs bars and restaurants etc all have measures in place for social distancing whilst houses don't...it makes sense. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 5:51pm)

They are all (mostly) controlled areas with social distancing measures in place whilst your mates house isn't. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 5:50pm)

Look man I'm on both sides of the argument I just think at this point what's the point in moaning, it's happened let's just get on with it. It's not a bad thing at all if it helps us get the fuck out of this fucking virus. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 6:09pm)

Well I dunno which ones you are going to as the ones I've been in town centre and west end have all been great. The only ones who don't give a shit that I've seen are the likes of Nicos and Sanctury etc by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 6:20pm)

Have a day off by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 6:49pm)

I'm assuming you don't work in hospitality or the service industry and can work from home right now? Another lockdown would effectively destroy the economy and half the population would be unemployed. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Sep 2020 8:02pm)

There's just no middle ground anymore people either really hate everything or they love everything. by deadkestrel (Wed 2nd Sep 2020 5:35am)

Imagine an actual leader of a country actually caring about the people who live in it? Madness I know! I think she's just doing all of this just to inconvenience you personally mate by deadkestrel (Wed 2nd Sep 2020 6:57am)

I think the UK government on a whole would prefer a full lockdown again but it's really not an option at this point is it? If only they actually did something in the first one 🤔 by deadkestrel (Wed 2nd Sep 2020 7:00am)

Www.thebriargrovebarbers.co.uk Highly recommend Stephen by deadkestrel (Thu 3rd Sep 2020 6:31am)

The record factory have just posted they have had a positive case too, bet its the same guy doing a pub crawl. He needs some serious fines and community service. by deadkestrel (Thu 3rd Sep 2020 4:18pm)

I genuinely dont know how people don't walk out after even spending 1 minute in the interview process. I did it back in 2016 and I just walked out as soon as I sussed it was a complete scam. by deadkestrel (Thu 3rd Sep 2020 4:19pm)

he went out whilst waiting for a test result I think and it came back positive after he'd been to all these pubs hence why track and trace is happening. by deadkestrel (Thu 3rd Sep 2020 5:25pm)

Yes, let's do nothing about the huge problems in drug use and homelessness, I'm sure the people who are effected by this are fine because you know...this is Glasgow! Idiot by deadkestrel (Sat 5th Sep 2020 6:09am)

By law all barbers now need to do appointments for track and trace but if they have space when you get there they'll just book you in for that slot. by deadkestrel (Sat 5th Sep 2020 6:05am)

I actually ran past this the other day, I knew it happened in the summer of 18 due to the insane days we were having, is this the same damage from the or is it new? Wouldn't want to be stood at the bottom of a tile falls off, there's even splodges of the stuff on the floor below it. by deadkestrel (Tue 8th Sep 2020 7:42am)

I too live off Sauchiehall st just near five March and there seems to be a car that drives up the street very loudly every fucking night at around 9/10pm. If all the lights are green you can pick up some speed from mother India all the way to Charing Cross. by deadkestrel (Sun 13th Sep 2020 6:44am)

I've pure turned into victor meldrew recently over this, and at the actual speed most people seem to go at the minute. There was a crash on the crossroads of Cliffton st yesterday as people seem to go up that road up to park circus at ridiculous speed. There's usually that huge white van parked on the street so visibility for the stopping cars is terrible. by deadkestrel (Sun 13th Sep 2020 8:50am)

just generally best to avoid old man pubs at the moment as they always tend to be a free for all inside. Some exceptions have been lis mor, three judges. Feel sorry for the staff in all these places as they are doing everything they can but the customers seem like turbo wankers by deadkestrel (Wed 30th Sep 2020 3:46pm)

You have to book now due to track and trace. The only option I can think of where you'll be able to walk in will be some dodgy Turkish place that'll take your crown off for £8. by deadkestrel (Wed 4th Nov 2020 6:58am)

I'm a self employed barber and am just in shock that I have to close yet again after bending over backwards doing everything I can for COVID procedures. Any cunt that won't wear a mask in a supermarket for 15 mins needs to try wearing on in a hot shop for a 10 hour shift. Ack, it is what it is...hopefully we get a self employed grant again as that saved my bacon last time as I refuse to do home haircuts. by deadkestrel (Tue 17th Nov 2020 4:50pm)

Is anybody aware if the Scottish government are going to release another newly self employed grant? I am only a year being into self employed and dont qualify for the self employed grant the UK gov has released yesterday. I got a grant in the first lockdown which really helped with the bills and mortgage.

No, it's always been 6pm sorry. My business had to close in tier 4 and we made sure straight after the announcement to find out when it ended.

Then as they get older they all seem to adopt the fake tan, black and white David Beckham sleeve tattoos wearing white McQueen trainers with skin tight jeans on. Oh and their house is 100% guaranteed to be grey inside with lots of silver metallic things and crushed velvet. by deadkestrel (Sat 26th Dec 2020 6:40pm)

Don't remember that part of Wall-E by deadkestrel (Sun 3rd Jan 2021 2:20pm)

This was basically the sub during May. People posting pics from various parts of Glasgow saying they couldn't believe how busy it was and that many people shouldn't be outside but it was perfectly ok for them to be. by deadkestrel (Mon 4th Jan 2021 9:48am)

Ah fuck I remember loving this program when it was originally on. by deadkestrel (Tue 12th Jan 2021 10:51am)

I live just next to KG park and pay a decent whack for my council tax. The bins round here are the same, luckily if they get emptied once a week at the minute. There's fucking shite everywhere, doesn't help that you had all the traffic from the park in the past week from all the snow etc. by deadkestrel (Tue 12th Jan 2021 1:05pm)

Sorry but fuck going to places like Starbucks during this, much much much rather go to a small independent place and support local. by deadkestrel (Thu 14th Jan 2021 9:02am)

Yeah fair. by deadkestrel (Thu 14th Jan 2021 9:24am)

Oh man this a thousand times when anybody on here asks for a 'cheap but good service'. Happens all the time too when people moan about paying £20 for a haircut. I am a barber and know all too well the costs involved in cutting your hair I'll be lucky to walk away with around £6 of the £20 after costs/taxes by deadkestrel (Thu 14th Jan 2021 9:29am)

Now you know why dog groomers charge what they charge? by deadkestrel (Thu 14th Jan 2021 9:31am)

Old news I know but what the actual fuck is happening with the bins around Glasgow? The bins outside the coop in Charing Cross are actually all over the street. Does that GCC rubbish reporting thing still exist? by deadkestrel (Sat 16th Jan 2021 1:58pm)

I'm in west end just next to KG park and it seems some bins have finally been emptied whilst loads of others have not. The bottle bin lat the east end entrance was overflowing and rather than emptying the entire bin they just took the bottles that were on the floor around the bin. KG park bins are all overflowing with coffee cups (thats another story) If you walk by all the back streets around the west end all the bins also overflowing. I've never seen anything like this before. by deadkestrel (Sun 24th Jan 2021 10:31pm)

Well deserved, eaten here quite a few times and the food is excellent. by deadkestrel (Mon 25th Jan 2021 8:02pm)

I think it's kinda frowned upon in the restaurant world to up prices as soon as you get a star. Hopefully Cail Bruich won't, I know a few of the staff and chefs and the are all pretty grounded. Not as if it's cheap to begin with, getting a table will be carnage now. by deadkestrel (Mon 25th Jan 2021 8:58pm)

Wow they've emptied some of the bins I've finally been able to take my Xmas recycling to the bottle bank. by deadkestrel (Tue 26th Jan 2021 12:24pm)

Wouldn't buy a new build if you paid me. by deadkestrel (Thu 28th Jan 2021 4:45pm)

It's not just the build quality it's living in a soulless estate with nothing around you except a Tesco megastore. I'm sure for loads of people it's ideal but it's my idea of hell. I spent the last part of my childhood in one in England and it was awful. by deadkestrel (Thu 28th Jan 2021 6:26pm)

Yeah perhaps I was being a little vague, I meant the huge out of town estates, that's generally what I think of when somebody says new build. by deadkestrel (Fri 29th Jan 2021 2:02pm)

I lived in one which was just about 200 houses and nothing else, I was too young to drive so I had to walk at least 30 mins to the nearest train station. I was a little harsh with my original post. by deadkestrel (Fri 29th Jan 2021 2:04pm)

I'm just near KG park and our bins are terrible, what's it like for those of you who live further out in houses rather than tenements/new build flats. Are you bins getting collected regularly? Surely we can't go on with the city looking this shit, what are they gonna do in November when we have the climate change meeting? by deadkestrel (Sun 31st Jan 2021 10:35am)

Now that Topman has been sold thats another huge empty building in Glasgow city centre. If anybody on here worked there im sorry and I hope you are OK. The city is going to be a ghost town isn't it once this is all over. by deadkestrel (Mon 1st Feb 2021 12:30pm)

For sure, I worked in clothing retail for 12 years and left 3 years ago cause it was just getting ridiculous trying to keep up with the targets they were giving us with half the staff. Don't think I'd last one day working in a shop now without telling somebody to fuck off by deadkestrel (Mon 1st Feb 2021 1:37pm)

Even before covid it was embarrassing how many empty units there were in the town. For a supposed major European city it's just fucking crap to be honest. I'm a barber and was looking to get my own shop in 2019 and just couldn't believe what the landlords were wanting in rent. by deadkestrel (Mon 1st Feb 2021 2:46pm)

There are also lots of other things like pubs, restaurants, Greggs etc. There are a lot of people in Glasgow 👍 by deadkestrel (Mon 1st Feb 2021 5:27pm)

Cheers man, not getting any support as I'm newly self employed so yeah it's been a tough time. Just got to stay positive I guess and try not to get too frustrated when you see hundreds of people in a supermarket or long queues for coffee as previously mentioned. by deadkestrel (Tue 2nd Feb 2021 3:28pm)

I can't stress this enough but only get it from a shelter or charity such as Cat's Protection. I would heavy heavy heavy recommend you dont go to some gimp on Gumtree charging you £250 in cash for a kitten with absolutely no jabs or information about where it's come from. We got two kittens in Feb last year from cats protection, the process was easy, you apply for the kittens then an agent comes to your house to see if its suitable for the kitten to be around. Once they say its cool you get the kittens then its months of being woken up at 4am, enjoy! by deadkestrel (Sat 6th Feb 2021 5:50pm)

We've actually recently had to put them in our spare room which leads into the kitchen so they have tons of space whilst we sleep in our bedroom. It was getting ridiculous being woken up every night so had to take some action, miss them sleeping with us though cant lie. by deadkestrel (Sat 6th Feb 2021 7:02pm)

I read this thread last night and that picture made me so angry I really struggled to sleep. I went out myself at 9am this morning and the big hill again was littered with broken plastic, I picked up around 9 bits and put them in the bin. How fucking hard is it to do that? Cans and bottles everywhere too? It's actually infuriating. by deadkestrel (Thu 11th Feb 2021 12:29pm)

Lidl are surely the best by deadkestrel (Thu 11th Feb 2021 9:41pm)

Since lockdown I've noticed that a large number of people especially groups just don't move out of the way in general. It really frustrates me when you get w group of 4 people walking towards you in a line and they make absolutely zero effort to make a gap for you to walk past forcing you into the road. Dog walkers and mums with prams also big offenders by deadkestrel (Fri 12th Feb 2021 10:01am)

What do we think we'll get tomorrow with the update on schools going back etc? by deadkestrel (Mon 15th Feb 2021 5:46pm)

I've always wondered what first time travellers would think when they come out of central on union street and head down to the four corners. I've lived here for 6 years now and the city centre is easily the worst out of the 5 other uk cities I've lived. Great architecture right enough but literally fuck all else there. It's depressing when you see photos on lost Glasgow of the city in the 50s/60s as it look as absolutely amazing by deadkestrel (Tue 16th Feb 2021 9:18am)

I honestly don't get what the fuck GCC are even doing these days, sure the big bosses are enjoying their 5 figure salaries when they can't even do simple things like empty a bin or fix a pothole in a street. I think the only good thing I can think they have done in the past 12 months is pedestrianise Kelvin way, but even that is still full of dead Christmas trees. by deadkestrel (Tue 16th Feb 2021 9:16am)

Cycling on a lot of roads without cycle lanes can be hell due to all the potholes. There's also large areas where people park on cycle lanes especially southside.

DELETED Not a bad wage there for effectively doing nothing over the last 11 months. It just find it staggering that you can't even ring up to sort your council tax as there aren't people in the office. I have a mate who's dad works for the council and he said even if you have the slightest cough you get two weeks off 'isolation' full pay and literally everybody is doing it across the council. They aren't stupid are they these folk by deadkestrel (Wed 24th Feb 2021 7:57am)

I second the South Indian garlic chili opinion. If you're in finnieston I recommend the curry pot on Dumbarton road that seems to be the most consistent place. The one you get to cook at home from mother India is also pretty good. by deadkestrel (Sat 27th Feb 2021 10:49am)

A good route but defo avoid at the weekend it's carnage by deadkestrel (Sun 28th Feb 2021 7:26pm)

This route is ok during the week but completely avoid at the weekend. If you head further west from Patrick you're being good and is generally quiet, Victoria park is decent. Complete first world problem but running through the west end sometimes during the pandemic is carnage, there's people everywhere and nobody wants to move out of the way for each other. by deadkestrel (Sun 28th Feb 2021 7:25pm)

Has anybody had the Mother India cook at home stuff recently? It was mine and the wife's go to curry as we liked the fact you can pick it up and cook at your own leisure. We had one last night and the packaging has changed to this vacuum sealed ready meal stuff and Im sorry to say it was absolutely awful. Had zero flavour and almost as if its not cooking in house anymore? Had better tasting Lidl ready meals. Gutted, nothing worse than a shite takeaway. by deadkestrel (Fri 5th Mar 2021 9:02am)

They are usually amazing, but like I said the packaging has all changed and it just looks like its been cooked in a factory and put into a packet now. Used to work just near it so would drop in past week and pick up some curries to cook at home was really good. I dont think we'll be trying again for a while after last nights. It's a shame because the sit down restaurant is unreal. Back to the curry pot on Dumbarton road next time for us. by deadkestrel (Fri 5th Mar 2021 11:20am)

Well it's usually the a selection of the same curries they have in the restaurant put in Tupperware which you simply heat up at home. These ones last night were definitely different from the usual..don't often complain to restaurants but thinking of messaging them. by deadkestrel (Fri 5th Mar 2021 11:37am)

The city is already a shithole, George Square will be covered in cans tomorrow morning. The litter is not as bad as the risk of COVID spread but it's still a shit thing thats gonna happen.

It's actually insane how little there is to do along the waterfront compared to most cities that have a river through it. Bristol is a great example of how to do it well.

Anybody have any idea what happened to r/ukpolitics? They can't be that pissed off about sturgeon surely by deadkestrel (Tue 23rd Mar 2021 8:23am)

It comes in pouches that are normally found in fridges in Asian supermarkets. It's good shit. by deadkestrel (Tue 23rd Mar 2021 8:28am)

Cranside kitchen received 10,000 reservations since it opened its books yesterday. Glasgow will be carnage when pubs are back open. God I can't wait for a pint of guiness. by deadkestrel (Wed 24th Mar 2021 7:44am)

Tantrum donuts way better not sure if the one on Gordon street is open? by deadkestrel (Wed 24th Mar 2021 8:06am)

Never been, not usually a fan of these big open pub gardens with street food. They are all the same. Give me inside a pub with a fire any day of the week. by deadkestrel (Wed 24th Mar 2021 9:19am)

The cheap proseccos from lidl etc give you such a fucking terrible hangover too. by deadkestrel (Fri 26th Mar 2021 4:09pm)

tbf Trnsmt had Radiohead headlining on their first year, god knows how they bagged that. by deadkestrel (Fri 26th Mar 2021 4:05pm)

I feel like there are lots of hidden comments in this thread? The replies look really weird by deadkestrel (Mon 29th Mar 2021 2:05pm)

Last year I think. Saw them twice since they got back together and both shows incredible. First one was 2008 in Manchester saw Radiohead the day after and I went to ATP 2009 Nightmare before Christmas curated by them. I actually think mbv is on par with Loveless. by deadkestrel (Tue 30th Mar 2021 3:44pm)

It's bad enough going inside a Frankie and bennies who the fuck is ordering a takeaway from there? You're better off with a Lidl microwave meal. by deadkestrel (Tue 30th Mar 2021 7:47pm)

Looks like cctv is being installed on KG park? Not sure how I feel about this to be honest.... by deadkestrel (Thu 1st Apr 2021 3:53pm)

I think this is ridiculous to be honest. Every other city in Europe doesn't do this. Just put more fucking bins on the park. Loads of people in Glasgow don't have gardens so parks are the places they go when they want to relax, saw they are installing new cctv cameras too on the big hill. I'm not having a few young folk ruin the park for everybody else. by deadkestrel (Thu 1st Apr 2021 5:42pm)

So because of a few people none of us can relax and have a good time on the park? Aye right. by deadkestrel (Thu 1st Apr 2021 7:18pm)

Kimchi cult is one of my fav glasgow restaurants, its such hit and miss with delivery though. Id recommend you try again once you can sit it, the fried chicken is normally 10/10 by deadkestrel (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 9:16am)

Handsome jacks in shawlands! by deadkestrel (Mon 5th Apr 2021 6:50am)

I live just a bit further along towards Five March and it's a great area. Where I stay its fairly quiet and we have no real foot traffic. Always wondered how noisy the flats were facing the motorway. And you'll be near one of the best pubs in Glasgow the bon accord. by deadkestrel (Tue 6th Apr 2021 3:26pm)

4th day back in work cutting hair, I officially can't feel my feet. by deadkestrel (Thu 8th Apr 2021 7:33am)

I did that last summer when we went back and it almost killed me. Whilst the money was amazing I ended up hating the job for a while. I'm just doing my normal hours, it's not normal working 12 hour days 7 days a week like I was doing last summer. by deadkestrel (Thu 8th Apr 2021 8:07am)

Most people's is fairly manageable to be honest. Few rescue jobs with shape on top but nothing too drastic. It's the guys with longer hair who spend 15 mins of the 30 min appointment trying to decide what they want that are a problem. by deadkestrel (Thu 8th Apr 2021 8:45am)

People in real life absolutely do not do this. by deadkestrel (Sun 11th Apr 2021 8:32pm)

Saying that the only reason people are 'queuing like fannies' and going to a place like scran is so they can take a photo of the food for their Instagram is just such a ridiculous take man. Why don't you actually try and support a small independent business instead of coming out with blanket statements like this. by deadkestrel (Sun 11th Apr 2021 9:21pm)

One million times this. Please do not buy from gumtree. Buy from a cat charity that actually has details for the cats and the cats come chipped jabbed. Highly recommend cats protection by deadkestrel (Wed 14th Apr 2021 12:50pm)

Yeah I won't go anywhere else, even if he doesn't have it in the shop he can probably get it for you in a few days. Love that shop so much by deadkestrel (Fri 23rd Apr 2021 7:02am)

Barbershop has been completely dead this week due to the rush being over. Sure been nice to sit in the sun outside though. Tax return for last year done, only 3 months worth of income so tax bill extremely small. Got accepted for the 4th self employed grant also so happy days.

Merchant city will have outdoor seating I think? by deadkestrel (Sun 25th Apr 2021 7:32am)

I do agree with you and feel sorry for these kids because they basically have fuck all to do and nowhere to go. Yeah some of them are violent but so are adults on a Saturday night round Merchant City. Just wish they would behave a bit better when out and basically not cause all the shit they are currently causing, then I think the larger population would respect them a bit more. I would absolutely hate being 13 years old right now to be honest. by deadkestrel (Sun 25th Apr 2021 7:36am)

Had veal chops on the bbq from the butcher last night after seeing them on the hairy bikers Mediterranean show on the bbc. Really really fucking good. I also have an incredible hangover, game of golf this afternoon at Balfron will sort that. by deadkestrel (Sun 25th Apr 2021 7:40am)

Yeah it is weird how in the uk veal has a really bad reputation whilst people have no problem with lamb etc. It came from a good butcher so I know it came from a good place. by deadkestrel (Sun 25th Apr 2021 6:00pm)

The hospitality industry has been like this for absolutely years and I'm glad after the pandemic that the practises used are starting to come to light and be questioned. by deadkestrel (Mon 26th Apr 2021 9:36am)

Probably not I would imagine. by deadkestrel (Mon 26th Apr 2021 11:45am)

Crabshakk tonight. Also got five March and ka pao booked in coming weeks. I'm not that fussed on pints it's all about restaurants opening for me right now. Can't wait to get into Chinatown and ka ka lok also. Ran past a few pubs in finnieston last night and it looked brutal in the cold haha by deadkestrel (Tue 27th Apr 2021 6:13am)

Just typical really imagine how good it would have been this past weekend too and the amount of money the pubs would have made. Better days ahead either way by deadkestrel (Tue 27th Apr 2021 9:04am)

That's not the old college bar is it?! by deadkestrel (Tue 4th May 2021 2:02am)

Yeah this, all hospitality staff will be very busy in these coming weeks and will need time to adjust after not working for so long. I've deliberately not gone for a pint yet because of this although I went for a meal at the crabshakk last week and the service was 10/10 like it always is. by deadkestrel (Tue 4th May 2021 9:12pm)

Yeah must be shit then mate by deadkestrel (Tue 4th May 2021 9:23pm)

Old college bar by deadkestrel (Wed 12th May 2021 5:16pm)

I'd try Cail Bruich or maybe bilson eleven. If you buy the voucher and email them to send you a different worded voucher they will be more than happy to help I am sure. I have done this in the past with fancy restaurants and they have always been happy to help. Highly recommend The Kitchin in Edinburgh if u fancy splurging a bit of cash. by deadkestrel (Wed 12th May 2021 5:22pm)

I'd just book to be safe, last thing you want is running around town trying to find somewhere. by deadkestrel (Thu 13th May 2021 8:55am)

Just getting all the rain out of the way for a glorious summer. I honestly reckon this summer will be unreal by deadkestrel (Thu 13th May 2021 9:01am)

All that food and prep probably wasted, I honestly feel so sorry for them. by deadkestrel (Fri 14th May 2021 5:48pm)

DELETED I'm not in any way a Rangers supporter but will be interesting to see the reaction to this compared to hundreds of people gathering in the southside in support of the two refugees. by deadkestrel (Sat 15th May 2021 4:09am)

I mean it isn't a 'shitey comparison' whatever happens today at George square it's going to be a shitstorm of reactions compared to this weeks events with the two guys. On paper it's still two large gatherings of people without masks on. I fully 100% support the incident in pollokshields so I don't think that allows me to criticise other large gatherings regardless of what they are for. by deadkestrel (Sat 15th May 2021 6:25am)

Righto, well I'll just leave it here then. Enjoy your weekend pal. by deadkestrel (Sat 15th May 2021 6:34am)

I'm honestly dreading the shitstorm on here after whatever happens on George square today. by deadkestrel (Sat 15th May 2021 6:52am)

Got lunch booked at Ka Pao today, cant bloody wait. Going to eat my own bodyweight. by deadkestrel (Sun 16th May 2021 10:39am)

Yeah my wife is an estate agent and this is wrong man. by deadkestrel (Mon 17th May 2021 7:34pm)

My wife is an estate agent. It's honestly the worst time to buy right now she says, great time to sell. People are buying property at full whack and will never make any profit on it. by deadkestrel (Mon 17th May 2021 7:44pm)

Please no by deadkestrel (Tue 18th May 2021 7:43am)

You just get that feeling that this is going to be a lot longer than a week don't you? When I'm talking to my clients it seems none of us know what the fuck is going on anymore I'm just glad I'm still able to work and we are somewhat busy. Also glad I can eat out again but so feel so sorry for all those restaurants who got told on Friday they can't serve booze, just ridiculous. by deadkestrel (Tue 18th May 2021 7:47am)

I'm a runner and live in west end and it can be a nightmare sometimes with people everywhere, one thing I'll never do is run past somebody with hardly any space between us. There is nothing worse then you're walking and a runner/cyclist comes behind you at full speed without letting you know. I tend to put my keys in my pocket so people can hear me, if that doesn't work I'll scuff my shoes against the floor so people are aware im behind them. If they don't hear me I just wait until I have space to pass by. The kelvin walkway used to be my fav spot but it's carnage down there these days. by deadkestrel (Tue 25th May 2021 8:47am)

Jesus just saw the pics of the bandstand...why are people like this. by deadkestrel (Tue 25th May 2021 8:50am)

One of my cats went missing last night, absolutely devastated and worried for the little thing. We've been out searching for him but I think it's just a case of waiting for him to stroll back in as if nothing ever happened. by deadkestrel (Sat 29th May 2021 6:36am)

Big black cat with very long tail and green eyes. Woodside/kelvingrove area thanks! by deadkestrel (Sat 29th May 2021 4:28pm)

His name is Kimchi and he is a large all black cat. He never came back home on Friday and we are all so worried for him now. He is shy but friendly and has a very long tail. My wife and I are so very upset that he is missing as he comes from a very loving home with a sister cat who is also missing him. Please if you have seen him can you please let me know. by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 9:49am)

Yeah we've done that on Saturday, hoping it helps by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 10:53am)

Thanks for this. I'm afraid he doesn't have a collar stupid I know. He is chipped tho by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 11:48am)

Yeah please by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 12:04pm)

Sorry which back alley? by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 12:04pm)

Yeah have done that since Saturday, no luck so far :( by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 12:20pm)

Ah perfect just took a walk down as I live on the next street along no sign of him I'm afraid by deadkestrel (Mon 31st May 2021 12:33pm)

Im holding onto the thought now of somebody taking him to vets and getting his microchip scanned. He still hasn't showed up and I'm honestly devastated. His sister cat is going crazy calling for him which is making it so much worse by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 7:30am)

Cheers man I just took a drive over and couldn't see him. If you see him again could you possibly take a picture by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 7:29am)

It's what keeps going through my mind that somebody saw him and took him home. He's an insanely beautiful cat and is so friendly. We only just started letting them go outside for the last 2 months and he always came back. Kicking myself now for letting them go outside, our other cat went missing too on Saturday but we found her a couple of streets along. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 8:12am)

Guys we found him!!! He was in an office on the street behind us and was locked in there since Friday due to the bank holiday. Fucking hell I am so relieved. Thanks for all your help by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 8:40am)

The sister cat is actually acting a bit strange and is growling at him and hiding under the bed. Not sure if it's because he's been away for more than a couple of days. Sure they'll be back to spooning soon enough by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 10:45am)

poor little fucker was trapped in there best part of 5 days, he's a little skinnier and shaken but other than that he seems fine. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 11:40am)

I'm a self employed barber in west end. Some clients tip some dont, I really dont expect it but its always nice to get something extra. It definitely helped me after only working 3 out of the last 12 months. I often pay it forward when I get a taxi or a meal in a restaurant. After my chair rental, equipment costs and taxes you come out with very little after a £20 haircut despite what you may think we earn. If you don't tip your stylist its really not a problem, dont think too hard on it. by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 3:20pm)

No problems at all happy to help. Just you do you really. There are no rules as far as I can see by deadkestrel (Tue 1st Jun 2021 5:59pm)

Just wanna say thanks for all the comments on my missing cat post the other day there. We found him trapped in an office behind our flat over the bank holiday weekend thank god we put a flyer through their door. Now we have the task of getting his sister to like him again as she's not liking his scent....they should be fine in a couple of days by deadkestrel (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 7:04am)

Whilst it is nice to receive good service you really can't expect some 21 year old earning fuck all 'to go out of their way' to give you amazing service. I would expect them to do the basics of their job and anything else is a bonus. If youve ever worked in the industry you'd know how hard it is to deal with customers all day especially in a cheaper restaurant where you're going to get absolute idiots in all day every day. by deadkestrel (Mon 2nd Aug 2021 7:14am)

I used Japanese Binchotan charcoal cause im a hipster wank but it stays lit for fucking ages. Bit difficult to get going as you need to keep it under constant flame for about 30/40 mins but well worth it. Once its lit it stays for hot for hours and is even great to keep you warm in the evening once it gets a bit colder. https://www.thebasic.london/products/white-charcoal-binchotan-10kg?variant=31908844208190&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic by deadkestrel (Tue 3rd Aug 2021 10:07am)

Unsure of what you mean by Costco sourced as if it's a bad thing? You are aware of how all restaurants get their ingredients? I've worked in a food market before and the reason they charge what they charge is usually because the owners of the market are charging obscene rent for them to be there.

I used to work in high street tailoring, I may be wrong but it looks like Forbes is just made to measure which means they use an outside company to make the suits. All they do is fill in the measurements they take from you and send it off via a template form. They always seem to measure the suits far too small for their clients too. It wouldn't be my go to if I'm being honest but there's not exactly a huge amount of choice in Glasgow at the moment. I would definitely recommend this guy if you want a good suit made. https://instagram.com/hunter_kingsley_tailoring?utm_medium=copy_link by deadkestrel (Sun 23rd Jan 2022 7:12am)

Would like to see more green space like on the plot of land where Victoria's was. That would be a great little park area, probably knock down the old bhs building too and make that into a park/food truck area. Would also give a lot of students the opportunity to own their own little shop along the street wether it be a clothing boutique, cafe or art space. Give them super low rates and rents for 5 years to get the streets buzzing and make it a real destination. by deadkestrel (Fri 28th Jan 2022 7:34am)

DELETED Where is you salon? by deadkestrel (Wed 2nd Feb 2022 5:48pm)

DELETED No offence or disrespect but you are paying for somebodies time, skills and equipment use when getting a haircut or any other service like it. I'm a barber and there is no such thing as a 'simple trim' like most people think. The cut needs to have a shape and be even and blended in, this alone takes time to do properly. It's not just a simple case of cutting a tiny bit off. You mentioned your hair is curly which again requires time to get correct. Then you have the styling from wet which for a standard ladies cut takes a good amount of time to do well. We don't charge for amount taken off. Also the rents we pay for our shops atm are absolutely insane by greedy landlords unfortunately this needs to be factored into the cost of the service. by deadkestrel (Wed 2nd Feb 2022 5:56pm)

Are there any other cities in the UK like Glasgow where they just let historic buildings just fall into disrepair? I’ve lived in around 5 and i can’t think of any that do as well as Glasgow. by deadkestrel (Thu 17th Feb 2022 7:55am)

I went to the one in 2018(?) when they released their last album. Also went to the gigs at swg3 year after and they were class by deadkestrel (Thu 17th Feb 2022 6:27pm)

Is everybody here going to continue to wear masks after March 21st? by deadkestrel (Wed 23rd Feb 2022 10:33am)

I am in no way disagreeing with you, just to play devils advocate for a second. If you are fit and healthy are you not better catching it now especially when the symptoms of omicron are so mild? That way you build antibodies along with your vaccines which I assumed you have taken. I had it December 2020 and it floored me and would wish it on my worst enemy but everybody who’s had it since omicron has said they didn’t even notice it. I have to wear a mask all day in work and I’m in two minds wether or not I’ll be ditching it, not sure I can take another summer of wearing it 10 hours a day to be honest but I obviously get the reasons behind them being in place. Like many normal sane people have pointed out there has to be an end to this at some point right? by deadkestrel (Wed 23rd Feb 2022 3:32pm)

Im a self employee barber and use a card machine, the money indeed doesn’t come into the account straight away and you do get charged a small fee also which can be annoying but it is what it is. I know a few barbers who use the old card machine is broken line but it’s always bullshit, mine has never broke once in 4 years of using it. by deadkestrel (Wed 9th Mar 2022 8:34am)

Just reading that paesano vs pizza punks thread. I’ve been to paesano probably more than 50 times inside and takeaway and I have never once had a cold soggy pizza from them. by deadkestrel (Wed 30th Mar 2022 7:52am)

Kimchi cult every time. by deadkestrel (Thu 31st Mar 2022 6:42am)

Had to jump in and shout at a guy in paesano last night cause he was talking to the front waitress like a piece of shit over takeaway wait times. He was going nuts cause he had to wait for his pizza in a queue and why there wasn’t a booking system. Couldn’t stand the way he was talking to her so kindly jumped in and to told him to fuck off, paesano gave us free drinks all night cause of it! Honestly can’t stand the way some older people talk to service staff. by deadkestrel (Thu 31st Mar 2022 6:46am)

So what do you think a taco made by a small independent business with huge overheads should cost? by deadkestrel (Fri 8th Apr 2022 7:41am)

Well there you go you don’t work in business so have no idea what things cost. I know lots of people around Glasgow who own small food places and these people are just breaking even mostly. If you think it’s bad value then too bad but please consider the cost it takes for these 3 tacos to be made for you with the owners seeing at least a little bit of profit after all their overheads. by deadkestrel (Fri 8th Apr 2022 8:13am)

This is pretty much happening all over the world and is not a Glasgow exclusive thing. by deadkestrel (Mon 11th Apr 2022 11:44am)

Thought it was a great match as a neutral, very tight with both teams pretty much equal on every part of the pitch. Rangers bringing on Ramsey for a pen was madness and cost them the game. Great to see a Scottish team in a major final. by deadkestrel (Thu 19th May 2022 7:28am)

3 cheers for the absolute arsehole who parked his 4x4 on the curb at the entrance of akbars in Charing Cross pretty much blocking access to the curb for pedestrians.

3 cheers for the 4x4 owner who parked directly outside akbars in Charing Cross last night completely blocking access to the curb for pedestrians. The guy was literally taking up the entire pavement. I saw a guy challenge him about it to which he was told to fuck off. People make Glasgow eh hate to be all victor meldrew about it but it really was ridiculous by deadkestrel (Mon 23rd May 2022 6:28am)

I live in the area and it constantly pisses me off, this time it was a guy going to eat in there instead of the I assume owner of the restaurant. Fair play to the young guy who tried to call the owner out as you’ll never know what you’ll get when you approach idiots like this. He had a baby with him so I think he held back from kicking off. by deadkestrel (Mon 23rd May 2022 9:35am)

I used to manage a shop on bucanhan street just outside princes arcade and I can tell you with the upmost certainty that we are not enjoying any form of busking. Every shop has their own music system and its just jarring trying to serve customers with two songs playing at once. Sorry to be a dick I know you're just trying to make a living but hearing the same songs over and over again is just infuriating. by deadkestrel (Mon 6th Jun 2022 10:13am)

Flew back to Glasgow last night and arrived at 11pm. Got outside to get taxi home to find zero taxis and a queue of about 75 people all waiting for one. I looked at Uber and they were quoting me £35 to get back to finnieston which is literally a 15 minute drive. Utter carnage. by deadkestrel (Mon 4th Jul 2022 10:27am)

Felt sorry for the people visiting the city in that queue. The steward at the taxi stop just basically said they’re aren’t any taxis you’ll be better ringing a local paisley firm. by deadkestrel (Mon 4th Jul 2022 1:16pm)

Had to call my wife who was in bed at the time to come pick me up. I tired Uber but it wouldn’t pick any up for me. by deadkestrel (Mon 4th Jul 2022 7:37pm)

I’ve flown twice and it’s fine, it just takes a bit longer to check your bag in if you are doing that. Each time I’ve travelled light so sailed through security. The pubs inside were very busy when I flew last Thursday. Getting back home on Sunday night though was a complete nightmare. There were zero taxis in the rank and about 70 people waiting for them. Uber quoting me £35 for 15 minutes drive. by deadkestrel (Wed 6th Jul 2022 9:17am)

You say that but I went the first year for Radiohead and that crowd was fucking horrible, loads of people trying to start fights and push by you even though I was at the front of the barrier. I get big crowds are often stressful and people need to move about but this was so aggro. Never again. by deadkestrel (Wed 6th Jul 2022 9:26am)

Im a driver and a cyclist and drivers are way worse and get away with so much shit. The amount of times you look in your rear view mirror and the person behind you is on their phone whilst driving is insane. Cars speeding through the last second of an amber light just to make the junction only to be stuck in the tail end of the traffic of the next set of lights is also insane, see Charing Cross for the best example of this. by deadkestrel (Wed 13th Jul 2022 9:13am)

I am really not a fan of this new trend of card machines asking for a tip at bars now when ordering at the bar. Was at the locale last night and got one drink and the machine asked me if I wanted to tip…wtf. Have seen it in a few other bars in Glasgow recently too. Im not anti tipping at all and tip regularly when eating out etc but one pouring me one drink is ridiculous by deadkestrel (Sun 31st Jul 2022 7:10am)

Out of interest what is your job and are you able to change it? I was in a similar position in my late twenties and I took a night time college course and changed my career and earn way more than I used to than when I was in retail. by deadkestrel (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 7:02pm)

You shouldn’t have made a throwaway account, you should be proud to be making that money you have obviously worked for it and have a good job. by deadkestrel (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 7:07pm)

I went from retail to barbering. I’m now self employed and fully booked most days, money is great and stress is low. Highly recommend taking it up, although it’s definitely not easy and the first few years are tough trying to build a clientele. I started off the first few years working employed at a barber shop earning a wage then was able to break away once I got my clients in. Reading your original post reminded me so much of myself when I was stuck on the same wage and constantly skint whilst all my mates were on holidays and buying stuff all the time. by deadkestrel (Thu 4th Aug 2022 6:06am)

Do these countries make businesses pay insane business rates? Was in Portugal recently and it was so clean and saw the shopkeepers cleaning their bit of the street every morning.

I flew back from Portugal few weeks back and arrived around 11.30pm and there was around a queue of 200 people outside with no taxis it was fucking absurd.

Whenever the topic of cyclists pops up on Reddit/twitter/Facebook etc I just click off it now cause I genuinely get so angry at some gammons opinions.

I went to cotton rake the other day for lunch, got a sandwich and a drink. Cost me £8.50. All the server did was hand me a sandwich out of the glass display cabinet directly in front of her, when I went to pay with card it asked me do i want to add a tip, I pressed no and she looked absolutely furious at me. All you have done is literally hand me a bottle of drink and a sandwich gtf by deadkestrel (Thu 26th Jan 2023 8:56am)

Really hate a lot of places now use the dojo card machines and basically force you to either leave a tip or press no when paying with card. I have no problem pressing no but I feel it really creates a negative experience for the customer.

Yes I get that, and when the entire population of Glasgow thinks that way this is where the problem lies. Everywhere you attempt to drive in and around Glasgow you are either met with traffic, road works (roads damaged due to insane number of cars using them). We also have the issue now of parking and the streets not having enough space for all the cars which is why we are seeing cunts park on pavements and across crossings etc. Public transport must be improved ten fold to make any sort of change happen, its only going to get worse. I remember growing up in the 90s and most streets would have a few cars parked, where do kids even play curby these days? by deadkestrel (Tue 4th Apr 2023 7:18pm)

Sorry but you mentioned you are disabled so this will entitle you to a blue badge so you can use a car to aid you in and around the city? by deadkestrel (Tue 4th Apr 2023 8:13pm)

I also don’t think the city centre is in decline at all, have you been recently? It’s mobbed, even more so at the weekends. There is a myth of the city centre dying because a few big chain stores closed down after covid. by deadkestrel (Tue 4th Apr 2023 8:12pm)

No I don’t because I am not disabled, you said you were so I asked the question? Not sure why you’re being defensive on this. by deadkestrel (Tue 4th Apr 2023 8:52pm)

Of course, not saying it is but it is a constant rhetoric on here that the city centre is some sort of zombie apocalypse wasteland which really couldn't be further from the truth. It is also worth saying if you think the city centre is in decline go in and shop and make it better!

If it’s the same money what’s the difference? It’s just because you’ve decided you don’t like one option. It’s a big world out there mate by deadkestrel (Thu 17th Aug 2023 4:05pm)

Glasgow City Council working hard as usual, renewed my parking permit valid from 2nd August. Been getting tickets all week from them, oh the joys. by deadkestrel (Sun 20th Aug 2023 11:13am)

You just have to nip it in the bud and tell them straight away and make sure everybody around you hears you say it too I find. I think a lot of people don’t even realise they are doing it and get quickly embarrassed by deadkestrel (Mon 21st Aug 2023 7:34am)

Sounds like you’d fit in with that title, at least you’ll be near the dealers by deadkestrel (Mon 21st Aug 2023 7:35am)

Now onto the second week of trying to contact the council with no reply over them mistaking two letters of my car reg on the new parking permit. Have had three parking tickets and have now had to move the car away from the house into a non permit zone. Four emails, phone leads to a voice saying email us and the live chat is open 10 to 4 when im working, its absolutely infuriating. I have no why idea its always such a fucking hassle to renew the permit every single year. by deadkestrel (Fri 25th Aug 2023 8:02am)

Rafas is absolutely class. I live in finnieston and it’s been great to see how much it’s grown, the anxiety of turning that corner to see how many people are waiting is real by deadkestrel (Sat 16th Sep 2023 5:14am)

£18 is £4.50 a week man, not gonna get much better than that surely? by deadkestrel (Sat 16th Sep 2023 3:01pm)

If you think this is a faff just wait till you have to renew it next year. Good luck by deadkestrel (Sat 16th Sep 2023 3:00pm)

I walk through Kelvingrove park every morning to work and they’ve actually taped up the bins and put fences up around them so people can’t use them. In what normal city would this happen? by deadkestrel (Tue 19th Sep 2023 7:52am)

They actually do a made to measure service now where they make the suit for you. Obviously not 100% tailored like. A Saville Row house but the service seems decent. by deadkestrel (Fri 22nd Sep 2023 6:31am)

I find it honestly fascinating that as soon as you even criticise the Israeli occupation on the smallest minute detail you are called anti semitic. Yeah I really don’t think questioning a full blown military regime regularly killing folk from Palestine means I hate Jews. by deadkestrel (Mon 9th Oct 2023 6:56pm)

I moved up here from London 9 years ago where I cycled daily, within a year of living in Glasgow I gave up cycling after very nearly being killed quite a number of times. The city has got better since with added cycle lanes throughout city but generally speaking i avoid main roads, it’s just not worth it. I feel it’s a battle you’ll never win, drivers just can’t be changed. by deadkestrel (Thu 16th Nov 2023 8:23am)

I got banned for trying to sell tickets on here btw so I’d delete this post asap and post to Glasgow market by deadkestrel (Thu 16th Nov 2023 8:26am)

It’s a safe line up that even if it’s shit weather people will come in their droves to see Liam Gerry and Calvin. The same every year, not sure why people are even surprised anymore. Also trnsmt organisers still don’t know what a women is eh? by deadkestrel (Tue 21st Nov 2023 6:57pm)

This is entire UK and is a product of a failed government and education system. by deadkestrel (Fri 1st Dec 2023 7:28am)

The government who have given us 13 years of austerity which have taken away jobs and money from the parents who have these kids. The government and parents share the blame by deadkestrel (Fri 1st Dec 2023 10:14am)
