  • I would really like to watch e-sport after playing a bit of Dota (badly) a few years ago. How do I get started finding information? by pinklaqueredskies (Tue 27th Aug 2019 7:26pm)
  • It’s so sad seeing so many gaming businesses that could be viable go bust because the people who run it are people who love games rather than understand how to run a retail/leisure business. First of all it’s important to take the right advice when negotiating the lease for the property. Advice from someone who knows the market must be sought. This is the first pitfall because if you start with a sky high occupancy cost ratio you’re already banking to go bust in the future. There must be a quality offer focused on creating turnover by enticing people with money to spend, not people who are going to take up space for hours without spending money. I think that the turnover element would be driven by food and beverage rather than gaming which ironically would be the last part of the puzzle. Another aspect would be events and promotion. Especially you want a high turnover cafe/bar that could be located somewhere off pitch with cheap rent because of the gaming aspect it’s destination rather than footfall driven. If it’s a footfall driven business people need to come in, spend money and leave as fast as possible but you would need to have the turnover to justify the rent of the location. Just my two pennies. by pinklaqueredskies (Wed 11th Sep 2019 7:51pm)

  • It’s funny because when we are in Polo we actually do egress via the door so it’s technically correct by pinklaqueredskies (Wed 12th Feb 2020 6:34am)
  • Also it’s super fun by pinklaqueredskies (Wed 12th Feb 2020 6:35am)
  • It’s a practical solution! To be honest Polo is a warren to navigate so it might actually be quite helpful by pinklaqueredskies (Wed 12th Feb 2020 1:49pm)

  • Merry Christmas 😂 by pinklaqueredskies (Sat 26th Dec 2020 3:40am)
  • I live on the outskirts of Glasgow and I just started a local gardening forum for my town which has been really popular. I’m actually also reading a book on Guerrilla Gardening that you might find inspiring. I know that there actually is a community garden in Maryhill. If you want something, be the catalyst 😊 by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 11th Mar 2021 6:01am)
  • 🤦🏼‍♀️ what’s this got to do with women. Enough, sick of casual misogyny, especially now. by pinklaqueredskies (Sat 13th Mar 2021 6:28am)
  • No. Not putting up with it anymore. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity/scots-comedian-daniel-sloss-shares-23688472 by pinklaqueredskies (Sat 13th Mar 2021 7:59am)
  • Honestly find it hilarious that whenever misogyny is called out there is always some attack dog type man who is seething at the mouth and gnashing their teeth, virulently defending their position of continuing misogyny, proving why it’s so important to call out misogyny every time that it is seen. In the link popular comedian Daniel Sloss points out that everyone has a responsibility to call out misogyny as it is happening because if everyone took that seriously the culture in which crimes rooted in misogyny cannot thrive. by pinklaqueredskies (Sun 14th Mar 2021 5:56am)
  • Every time there is a reply like this my point is proven so thank you 😊 by pinklaqueredskies (Sun 14th Mar 2021 7:21am)
  • Thank you by pinklaqueredskies (Sun 14th Mar 2021 10:04am)
  • Awesome! How do we find out more information about that? by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 8:41am)
  • I think the registry office gig is less than £250. I’m kind of looking at it like money I’m willing to lose if restrictions change suddenly. We definitely want less than £1000 but I suppose it depends on the detail. Minimum us, our kids, two witnesses and the person officiating. Anyone else would be a bonus given these lockdowns. by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 8:40am)
  • Alright mate, sorry my post was looking for information explicitly. If you don’t want to provide it don’t reply and get on with your day. I’m well aware that I can google, I’m looking for information from real people with real experiences. by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 9:09am)
  • Thank you! I will look into that! by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 9:10am)
  • Thank you! by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 9:17am)
  • A joke to you but it’s my actual wedding by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 9:31am)
  • Thank you! by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 9:45am)
  • Thank you!! by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 10:00am)
  • Oh thank you, that’s really valuable information ❤️ by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 10:17am)
  • 💜💜💜💜💜 by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 11:23am)
  • I think so but I need to clarify all of this with them. We have been approaching this so far as, legal ceremony now and proper ‘wedding’ when it’s safe to have our loved ones there so I have to be honest and say I’ve barely looked into the additional detail regarding the registry office. by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 12:08pm)
  • Thank you!!! Glad that you had a great day 💜 by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 2nd Apr 2021 1:01pm)

  • Don’t buy the property. The smell is constant. It’s awful. If you are struggling to get a mortgage, so will the folk you sell it to in the future. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 8th Apr 2021 5:59pm)
  • I wouldn’t buy now. I would wait to see when this bubble actually pops. These people are going to end up in a negative equity hell. No way this can maintain. by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 4th Jun 2021 12:36pm)

  • Oh my goodness, ANY ADVICE on how not to get ripped off in this town would be so appreciated. I want a new car so bad. by pinklaqueredskies (Sun 25th Jul 2021 5:03pm)
  • Citizen M have had a security problem for a long time. There are always vagrants coming in and out of the hotel because there is little security on the lower level and staff on the upper floor. Surprised that they haven’t been more helpful. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 5th Aug 2021 8:16am)
  • Love Bloc+ their deals are amazing and always vegan options by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 5th Aug 2021 5:51pm)

  • Hey you, you are not alone! So proud of you for getting yourself out there. Honestly go to polo! I’ve been a few times but I don’t drink anymore. I noticed that there does seem to be people there on their own too but I had assumed it’s because they are in the closet. I don’t drink anymore and nightclubs honestly seem like my worst nightmare. I’d noticed that there are a few non-booze events that might be worth checking out. There’s a weekly event called Pride in the Park in Pollok Country Park, a LGBT+ history walking tour being launched and also Mardi GLA coming up next weekend (easier to be alone in a crowd!) Maybe worth giving LGBT Health Scotland a buzz too to see if they can link you up to good events that are easier to meet people in too. They helped me massively when I came out in my late 20s. They are great people and will know much more than I, I think their helpline is open two evenings a week so check their website!

  • There are management issues that arise with your proposal. You would be better off contacting a commercialisation agency who would broker short term deals between you and the Landlord, that should help you do what you would like to do. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 10th Feb 2022 9:28pm)

  • Narcotics anonymous have online meetings. Wishing you all the strength and power. by pinklaqueredskies (Mon 23rd May 2022 6:42am)
  • Hey, I can’t comment on the physical addiction side of things but I wanted to let you know that there’s plenty of online meetings for Narcotics Anonymous (NA) since the pandemic which might be easier to attend than in person. Google search should sort you out. If you can’t find them message me and I think that I can point you in the right direction. by pinklaqueredskies (Fri 29th Jul 2022 11:14pm)
  • Morrisons do frozen and they are pretty good by pinklaqueredskies (Tue 16th Aug 2022 8:09am)
  • Thank you for sharing and for the recommendation. I will research that one! by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 12:47pm)
  • That’s so good! I’m happy that you have found a routine that’s helping your mental health, that’s awesome!!! My wife spends £60 on CrossFit so I am looking to budget about the same for whatever I do you see if it means that I’m not just freestyling it. I did JD Gym for a while and whilst I liked the venue I didn’t make much fitness progress because I wasn’t sure what to do. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 1:41pm)
  • Thank you! I will definitely be checking that out as I love the concept. My issue is though that it’s the other side of the city from me :( by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 1:47pm)
  • I gave it a go. I used to like running but I fell off a climbing wall 9 years ago and got a leg injury so after a while I find that the impact builds up and is pretty hard on my knees/ankle unfortunately. My problem area is my midriff whereas my legs are consistently my best feature so running maxes out something for me that is already pretty good if you see where I’m coming from by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 1:54pm)
  • What a lovely reply, thank you! I’m so happy that you had good results for yourself, especially after a back injury because that just sounds so rough. I will check out that calorie counting idea. I’ve always been quite afraid of calorie counting because it makes me feel terrible and overly focused on food. I eat a totally vegan diet so as long as I’m not overdoing carbs or junk food style meals I tend to be okay. I do want results though so maybe I should be looking into this further. Thanks for the response! by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 1:52pm)
  • Wishing you all the best with your fitness journey :) by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 1:54pm)
  • I have an injury too so this interests me! Did Pilates get you into shape then? I’m going to look into this. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:08pm)
  • Thanks for these tips. I’m going to look into them after work. I did actually enquire about dance classes but I got the absolute fear when they got back to me and realised that my anxiety would mean that I’m unable to do it. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:07pm)
  • Thanks! It’s alright, I have learned to live with it :) by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:05pm)
  • Thank you! Not far to drive for me too. I’ll look into that after work. I appreciate your help :) by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:16pm)
  • Thank you! I will research this after work. I appreciate your help. by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:15pm)

  • I think that my main issue at the moment is actually being in the midst of active depression. Normally I am quite a motivated person but last year I was bullied at work which damaged my confidence to the core. I am just waiting on my visa to Canada to relocate and change things up but it’s even hard to get excited about that at the moment. Coming online to work with the same people just brings me down so much but there’s no point in leaving until I move. I also know that even after I leave the scars will remain. I am gay and they have always excluded me, it’s a brick wall and I’ve just given up on trying. I am missing having positive social interaction like I had at my old job pre-pandemic. My experience of being at fitness settings in the past has always been feeling like the odd one out so it’s a difficult question to answer. In all honesty, I have no idea what motivates me anymore. I just hate looking in the mirror at the moment and I’m missing the way my body used to be when I felt good about myself. Good advice to start small but I just need to find out what small change I will make first. If that makes me feel any better then I might feel more motivated. Sorry for the essay! by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 2:50pm)

  • I love a Munro :). I didn’t get out much this summer though because I was in flatter than flat Ontario. Have you done Ben Arthur (Cobbler)? I like that one by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 3:41pm)

  • That’s so lovely, thanks for the offer! I’ve decided to initially try yoga/Pilates and I’m going to sign up for that on Sunday. If I feel like adding more into it once I’m established into that routine I may well reach out! I am so glad that your routine is going well :) by pinklaqueredskies (Thu 18th Aug 2022 7:50pm)
