  • My boyfriend went to uni there and hardly spoke any English at the time. He totally fell in love with the city and the people, and now speaks English very well but with a Glaswegian accent. I think the reputation is that the people are very friendly and welcoming. You’ll find your niche. It helps especially having a uni program you’re excited about. You’ll find like-minded people out there I’m sure :) And it’s great to graduate not having loads of debt hanging over your head. Good luck with your decision and schooling!! by passionfruit2087 (Wed 4th Mar 2020 6:55am)
  • What?!?! Jeez! by passionfruit2087 (Tue 10th Mar 2020 8:04pm)
  • A cruel crime 😔 Sorry, and hope you get it back! by passionfruit2087 (Tue 24th Mar 2020 8:16am)
  • Just moved to Glasgow and I can confirm that I’m struggling with the accent! I think it’ll just take some time and a chance to really be immersed in it. by passionfruit2087 (Sun 5th Apr 2020 11:08am)
  • I’m so sorry this happened to you and I really hope you’re ok... fuckers...! Absolutely vile words and people. I’m disgusted. And also, NO ARRESTS?!?! What do the police do here? Pretty sure any of these people could be arrested for inciting violence, hate crimes, etc. So frustrating by passionfruit2087 (Mon 15th Jun 2020 12:58pm)
  • Interesting point, but didn’t they arrest 100 of these idiots in London this weekend? Does Glasgow not have enough police to arrest violent rowdy idiots when important to do so? Or are they just this soft? Arresting people like this would make quite a statement. Doing nothing has also made a statement: that police are not on the right side of this. Not impressed. by passionfruit2087 (Mon 15th Jun 2020 2:41pm)
  • I’ve just seen that there is a ‘criminal identifier’ spray that you can buy or an ‘odour spray’ to deter attackers. Interesting alternatives to the ‘bear’ spray you get in other countries. by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 10:31am)
  • Yes, I agree with you that it’s likely being underreported elsewhere but not when it happens in the city centre in the middle of the day. That’s a particularly shocking attack where as there are many attacks that are not as shocking and sickeningly just a part of city life. I just want to get a sense of how women in this city protect themselves and what the general situation is. It’s not fear, it’s being informed and keeping yourself safe if possible. by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 11:14am)
  • Stay safe out there ❤️ by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 11:37am)
  • Yeah, I feel like the police would turn a blind eye to a rapist complaining about being pepper sprayed... but I’d be happier to face charges for that than get attacked in the first place... just saying! by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 11:35am)
  • I’m not sure why this has been downvoted. Thanks for sharing. I don’t feel like that’s too much to ask either. I’m going to be writing to MPs, the police and the council until we’re safe to walk the streets again x by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 3:52pm)
  • Here’s a report: https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/rape-sauchiehall-street-glasgow-scott-18486430 No real details and no updates as far as I can see today. So frightening... by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 9:08pm)
  • Completely agree with everything you’ve said 🙌 Wtf is going on with all the downvoting here? The rapists are watching this thread or something?? by passionfruit2087 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 9:05pm)
  • I don’t understand the downvoters here. While the spray is illegal here, there are alternatives and honestly with the news reports these days, would rather be safe than sorry. There are lots of legal alternatives also like what you’ve linked to. Very clever identifier spray and all sorts. Seems like the cops are trawling reddit and downvoting people for speaking rather than patrolling the streets and saving a woman from being raped in the middle of the day last week in the centre. Absolutely appalling. by passionfruit2087 (Mon 29th Jun 2020 10:38am)
