  • Yup, just make sure you have separated them out into bundles as they just weigh the coin bags instead of counting them out, it will save you from hanging about... by games247_co_uk (Wed 6th Apr 2022 12:23pm)

  • Had the same down in London. The fella asked for some cash, I replied "Sorry, I dont have any on me" which was not a lie for a change and he offered to walk me to the nearest ATM that didnt charge for withdrawls. You can get yersel tae fuck pal! by games247_co_uk (Wed 20th Apr 2022 1:55pm)
  • Oooft - this is a honkin' take. People can be empathetic to someone's situation but you cannot help everyone. by games247_co_uk (Wed 20th Apr 2022 2:00pm)
  • I donate to the Glasgow city mission both directly and via my employer, so I guess you actively do similar. What I object to is the holier than thou tone, everyone knows that homeless people have a tough life and it’s not one that anyone would choose unless it was the last resort. That doesn’t mean that someone who is not homeless doesn’t have any funny stories about engaging someone who is, the topic of a joke is the target of a joke. by games247_co_uk (Wed 20th Apr 2022 6:18pm)

  • Check out whats been organised on [https://www.meetup.com/](https://www.meetup.com/) There are usually events for all sorts of folks, from exercise groups to group cinema trips etc and comedy nights. by games247_co_uk (Sat 7th May 2022 9:45am)
  • A glory hunter huh.... From my experience of American football fans, Partick would be the right choice, I don't think you lot are built for the bile that follows the big Glasgow teams! by games247_co_uk (Thu 12th May 2022 10:24am)
  • I had 3 trips cancelled after being charged the other night. I am guessing the drivers didnt fancy heading out to East Kilbride... by games247_co_uk (Wed 25th May 2022 2:42pm)

  • Scottish Labour is deid and this sort of coalition should have real labour supporters cringing with embarrasment... by games247_co_uk (Thu 26th May 2022 6:45pm)
  • The difference is that to facilitate a labour/lib dem coalition, they have had to part their cheeks to the tories. You dont think they stood aside for any other reason, do you? All that happened is that more posts are going to be filled by that uncaring mob. Labour has sold its soul now, its done. edit: typo by games247_co_uk (Thu 26th May 2022 6:59pm)
  • I will never trust the tories, its just how I see the world... I always expected this type of thing from the borders and Aberdeenshire, but it happening in and around Glasgow is mindblowing. My take on things is lets get independance sorted, then we can vote for whoever best supports the people of Scotland, perhaps then Sarwar and his cronies will start to be relevant again. by games247_co_uk (Thu 26th May 2022 7:14pm)
  • How many were in the original bag? Perhaps it was a 1:1 swap... by games247_co_uk (Wed 1st Jun 2022 9:15am)

  • Old school, I like it. by games247_co_uk (Tue 14th Jun 2022 3:42pm)
  • Had the same message. Was told to expect a call - didn't get one. Was asked to call the juror update line after 5pm each day, was never asked to attend the remote juror centre. Called in on the Thursday and the message excused all jurors from that week. by games247_co_uk (Tue 21st Jun 2022 2:46pm)
  • Sadly there is no laws that currently stop cunts being cunts... by games247_co_uk (Fri 24th Jun 2022 5:26pm)
  • When things start to go south, the first people blamed are immigrants and the poor. Just look at the bile thrown at the RMT just now! The Tories are just this in a diluted format... by games247_co_uk (Sat 25th Jun 2022 5:22pm)
  • Its about 45 quid from East Kilbride so I would expect 50ish from town. by games247_co_uk (Sat 25th Jun 2022 5:39pm)
  • That would be my advice too. If you dont fancy the fiver it costs to go from the Premier Inn to the airport, you can walk it in 20 mins or so. by games247_co_uk (Sat 25th Jun 2022 5:38pm)
  • We are a bit of an anomaly, caught between places in Europe where tipping just doesnt happen and the US of A, where you tip even if you have shite service... I echo whats been said a few times before, 10% and rounding up to the nearest 10 kinda works for me. by games247_co_uk (Mon 27th Jun 2022 9:39am)
  • Exactly! Of course the will accept a tip, the difference is that its not automatically expected. Folks downvoted my comment without actually knowing how things are in other parts of the world... by games247_co_uk (Mon 27th Jun 2022 3:14pm)
  • Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Belgium to name but a few. Do yourself a favour and go and see places that pay people a wage that they can not only survive on but have a great quality of life... by games247_co_uk (Mon 27th Jun 2022 3:11pm)
  • Thanks for the ideas. That’s the thing, one is an adult and one is still a wee kid. Tough balancing act. by games247_co_uk (Mon 27th Jun 2022 4:26pm)
  • Thanks for all the suggestions - they are very useful! by games247_co_uk (Tue 28th Jun 2022 12:43pm)
  • Ho Wong is excellent but not cheap. by games247_co_uk (Mon 4th Jul 2022 8:57pm)
  • The high street is gone, brick and mortar stores cannot compete and are not financially as viable as online options. by games247_co_uk (Fri 8th Jul 2022 10:06pm)
  • The local "characters" loves to see Ned Sheeran play live! by games247_co_uk (Tue 12th Jul 2022 1:43pm)
  • Not even close, I have just seen the folks that belt out his songs in town... by games247_co_uk (Tue 12th Jul 2022 2:03pm)
  • I was trying to be more diplomatic than saying "jakies" by games247_co_uk (Tue 12th Jul 2022 4:12pm)
  • Another thing to bear in mind is that a landlord needs to give adequate notice before ending tenancy to sell up, its usually about 6 months... [https://www.mygov.scot/ending-a-tenancy-as-a-landlord/private-residential-tenancies#:\~:text=In%20most%20cases%20landlords%20will,to%20move%20into%20the%20property](https://www.mygov.scot/ending-a-tenancy-as-a-landlord/private-residential-tenancies#:~:text=In%20most%20cases%20landlords%20will,to%20move%20into%20the%20property). ​ Might not change your situation but it might buy you some more time. by games247_co_uk (Tue 12th Jul 2022 7:11pm)
  • So it will never charge more than the cost of a weekly pass for example? by games247_co_uk (Thu 21st Jul 2022 9:36am)
  • Quick question, do you need a dehumidifier per room or will a decent one work across a larger space? (2 bedroom flat in my case) by games247_co_uk (Tue 26th Jul 2022 2:06pm)
  • They are appealing to folks who want to get rich quick, in the current market nothing legit is going to give you that kind of return. by games247_co_uk (Wed 27th Jul 2022 9:29am)

  • Thanks for your input! by games247_co_uk (Sun 31st Jul 2022 9:51pm)
  • Limmy summed it up pefectly. I'd like Glasgow to host Eurovision, but I'm already cringing at the possibility of a Glesga Uni accented presenter doing a bit about all our fantastic Glesga words and phrases. "Hey, don't be glaiket wearing a jaisket, this is taps aff weathurrr" Ooofffff (https://twitter.com/DaftLimmy/status/1538114661937291264) by games247_co_uk (Fri 12th Aug 2022 10:44am)
  • You can almost make out the pish stains under the bridge where the junkies have relieved themselves... Isn't technology wonderful! by games247_co_uk (Fri 12th Aug 2022 4:10pm)
  • Live in EK but work in an office in town. Been going into the office 3 days a week for the last year, and working from home on Mondays and Fridays. This feels like the right balance for me. I didnt like WFH full time so knowing that I need to wrap up at 5.20pm to go get my train home gives me the reason to not check emails and work into the evening... by games247_co_uk (Thu 18th Aug 2022 12:15pm)
  • By coming here to ask the question, I think that deep down, you already know the answer... by games247_co_uk (Mon 12th Sep 2022 6:37pm)
  • Dafuq? by games247_co_uk (Mon 12th Sep 2022 6:48pm)
  • Aye but the original post was indecipherable by games247_co_uk (Mon 12th Sep 2022 6:52pm)
  • Dafuq? by games247_co_uk (Tue 13th Sep 2022 1:12pm)
  • Awww no! What am I, a dug owner, going to have to moan about all through October??? by games247_co_uk (Mon 3rd Oct 2022 12:38pm)
  • The logo on the back of every jotter handed out in primary school... by games247_co_uk (Thu 13th Oct 2022 3:27pm)
  • I think it would have been good form to leave a tip based on a percentage of the "full" bill rather than what the discounted price worked out to be. I agree that mandatory tipping is crap but I think I would rather be left no tip than a lowball one... by games247_co_uk (Wed 25th Jan 2023 1:45pm)
  • The area out the back of Brel is nice by games247_co_uk (Thu 20th Apr 2023 12:27pm)

  • Its the only way to be sure... by games247_co_uk (Wed 23rd Aug 2023 8:24pm)
  • Something has to be done about the level of alkies and junkies in and around the city. Union Street, while never being a utopia is a battle ground most nights, with the walking dead rolling out of the Rennie Mac hotel and rampaging up and down the road. On Monday night, I seen a group of young asian guys accosted by a crowd of racist jakeballs outside and its becoming an all too frequent thing... by games247_co_uk (Wed 27th Sep 2023 1:50pm)
