  • It bothers me that anyone here in Glasgow supports cunts like this. by therealbighairy (Fri 18th Jan 2019 1:05pm)
  • This story definitely got around at Penilee. And I've only just realised that I could have scraped one e off that sign to make it penile secondary. by therealbighairy (Wed 13th Feb 2019 12:40pm)
  • Born in 1983? I might know you! I was born in 81. Couple of years isn't a big deal. by therealbighairy (Thu 14th Feb 2019 10:32am)
  • Solid doesn't have a jukebox, but if you ask the barstaff, they have a ton of stuff to play. And Greenock is nothing to boast about. I live there now... by therealbighairy (Wed 20th Feb 2019 4:53pm)
  • The people that can influence the council, are the same ones that pull these scams. by therealbighairy (Fri 1st Mar 2019 3:15pm)
  • Nearly. Static Games, on the corner of Parnie street is where to go. Same guys that own them, but they deal in cards. My daughter buys cards from there. by therealbighairy (Mon 4th Mar 2019 12:34pm)
  • This isn't protestants marching. This is a fucking hate group. by therealbighairy (Tue 5th Mar 2019 4:43pm)
  • Last Scots based comic I read was "Red Thorn." It was pretty good fun, but not the best book I've ever read. Still definitely worth picking up. I did try to read "Saltire", which was spammed all over reddit by the writers wife, but the writing never lived up to the art. by therealbighairy (Fri 8th Mar 2019 1:36pm)
  • We spoke in a different sub a while ago, Chief. Ended up having a discussion about the Barras. by therealbighairy (Fri 8th Mar 2019 1:58pm)

  • I doubt you know me, unless you go in there for breakfast at the weekend... by therealbighairy (Fri 5th Apr 2019 9:30am)
  • The we are very unlikely to know each other. But if you see a guy near Costa, that looks real, big, and hairy, there's a better than zero chance is me, and I'll shout you a coffee. by therealbighairy (Fri 5th Apr 2019 9:50am)
  • Not in Glasgow, but greenock... My daughter and I grabbed dixit, betrayal at house on the hill, forbidden desert, and pandemic from a barnardos, for two quid each. by therealbighairy (Fri 24th May 2019 8:30am)
  • I lived in the solid for a few years. Happy times for me. by therealbighairy (Sun 21st Jul 2019 3:47pm)
  • I moved to Greenock about 13 years ago. I remember when I was looking at flats, the estate agent offered one that was here for £8000... But they wouldn't show it. They would give me the keys, and let me go up on my own, but they wouldn't send an agent with me. by therealbighairy (Fri 26th Jul 2019 1:12pm)
  • Tokyo toys on Union Street have a bunch of gunpla. Prices don't suck too bad. by therealbighairy (Wed 31st Jul 2019 11:16am)
  • No worries, pal. Glad to help. by therealbighairy (Thu 1st Aug 2019 6:07pm)
  • I take my kid with me, and visit the place like it was fucking monkey Island. "examine monkey head. Push model car. Pick up amstrad cpc" by therealbighairy (Tue 20th Aug 2019 1:37pm)
  • Legally he can't do that. If he has watched you, personally, steal something, he can detain you. He can not search you, unless he has your permission. All he should do is hold you until the police show. He had broken the law. by therealbighairy (Sun 29th Sep 2019 8:05pm)
  • I don't understand the appeal of docs. There are cheaper, better, more comfortable boots available, that last longer. They are so fucking poser. by therealbighairy (Wed 8th Jan 2020 10:12am)
  • bizarrely, hitech magnums are pretty Good. their trainers used to have a bad rep, but their boots were great. I used to swear by karrimor, up until recently, too. by therealbighairy (Wed 8th Jan 2020 10:54am)
  • Also, a lot of timberland boots are great. I was gifted some six months ago by a very dear friend, and they have done very well. A little pricy for my taste but they are comfy, look good, and seem fairly hard wearing. by therealbighairy (Wed 8th Jan 2020 12:32pm)
  • Why? by therealbighairy (Wed 8th Jan 2020 2:51pm)
  • I haven't seen them. where are they from? by therealbighairy (Wed 8th Jan 2020 3:08pm)
  • I'm not a fashion guy. I'm a work guy. I'll take your recommendation and look into them, thanks. by therealbighairy (Wed 8th Jan 2020 3:25pm)
  • ah. they are Good boots though... by therealbighairy (Thu 9th Jan 2020 9:34am)
  • Just a whole bunch of dead cats. by therealbighairy (Fri 31st Jan 2020 12:44pm)
  • Portugal did the same, and had massive success. It's amazing that people can see real world success and still decide that it's not a thing they want. by therealbighairy (Tue 25th Feb 2020 7:03am)
  • I work at a port out in greenock. We have had the same issue with our hand sanitiser stations being broken open by truck drivers to get the pouch out. by therealbighairy (Sun 8th Mar 2020 3:00pm)
  • I'm out in greenock now, but live opposite a chemist. When it's closed for lunch, they would hang around my close waiting for him to reopen. Until one day I was going clay shooting with my pal, who sees them at the front door of the close... He went to the back of his fancy merc, lifts a double barrel out, breaks it open, and puts it over his shoulder. Junkies stared at him as he walked towards the close door. "does the big man know you cunts are hanging about his door?" he asked them. They left. They don't hang out in my close any more. by therealbighairy (Tue 10th Mar 2020 7:27pm)
  • They just switched to blitz ball down there. by therealbighairy (Wed 11th Mar 2020 12:32pm)
  • You live next to my old primary school! by therealbighairy (Wed 1st Apr 2020 12:39pm)
  • I wonder if they might be better served sharing non filtered photos? No judgement of how the girl lives, but these types of pic rarely demonstrate how a person looks in life, making them all kind of...samey. by therealbighairy (Tue 14th Apr 2020 5:44pm)
  • Why would it be parody? It's pretty close to how I sound. by therealbighairy (Sun 3rd May 2020 11:13pm)
  • I worked just around the corner from here for a couple of years. Didn't even know it was there! by therealbighairy (Thu 7th May 2020 12:26pm)

  • I can see two of my old homes. by therealbighairy (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 5:18pm)
  • Christ. I did a while day with them, like... Fifteen years ago. At the time they were called tiger team marketing. Might not be the same guys, but it's exactly the same scam. by therealbighairy (Sat 8th Aug 2020 5:13pm)
  • Because most of it was ornamental shite. by therealbighairy (Thu 13th Aug 2020 1:24pm)
  • You joke, but I actually did! Seven years of kenjutsu, and one whole lesson of fencing. (I'm embarrassed to admit I actually did buy a sword from VM before my first lesson. Turns out the steel was shit, and the handle was actually plastic...) by therealbighairy (Thu 13th Aug 2020 2:03pm)
  • We get dolphins down here quite often as well. by therealbighairy (Sun 23rd Aug 2020 8:40pm)
  • East India harbour, greenock, to be specific. Those vessels belong to clyde marine. by therealbighairy (Sun 23rd Aug 2020 8:40pm)
  • My beard is to cover up scars on my face (well, under my chin), and it's been there since just after i got stabbed. Seventeen years without seeing my actual face. by therealbighairy (Fri 25th Sep 2020 9:56am)
  • Not my intent, brother. Or possibly hirsute sister. I don't judge. I was an ugly fucker before hand anyway. by therealbighairy (Fri 25th Sep 2020 11:42am)
  • The way i always look at it... Somebody else losing a leg, doesn't mean your broken finger doesn't hurt. by therealbighairy (Fri 25th Sep 2020 11:56am)
  • More than forty quid?! by therealbighairy (Wed 18th Nov 2020 9:38pm)
  • Yeah, but he's decent at being racist. When you get insulted for your race he gets the race right first time. Top quality racism right there. by therealbighairy (Wed 18th Nov 2020 9:36pm)
  • Misread the last word as "mascots" the first time. That would be the creepiest but also most adorable, cabal meeting. by therealbighairy (Mon 30th Nov 2020 12:32pm)
  • I think Edinburgh is a more beautiful city. I also think the people in Glasgow are something special. by therealbighairy (Mon 7th Dec 2020 7:02am)
  • I went the other way. Moved from Govan to Greenock. It was kind of a lateral move... by therealbighairy (Thu 31st Dec 2020 6:53pm)
  • You don't use haircare products on windows, dude. by therealbighairy (Wed 10th Mar 2021 10:12am)
  • If we had gone indie in the 70s, running the oil as a nationalised industry would have made us one of the world's richest nations. Instead, the profit was reported as being in London, and now Scots national waters start north of Edinburgh. Its disgusting how much was taken from us. by therealbighairy (Wed 17th Mar 2021 5:43pm)
  • She must resign! What sort of political precedent is she making for other politicians by trying not to be a weasel? Just makes the rest look bad. She's doing it intentionally! by therealbighairy (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 5:15pm)
  • Either weasels or zealots. I would at least trust a zealot, because they mean what they say. by therealbighairy (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 5:28pm)
  • There was a tory a couple of years ago that said the snp were only handling a situation well, intentionally to show up Westminster. The context is lost to me now, but the quote stuck. I was referencing that. by therealbighairy (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 5:27pm)
  • Then the context was even more list to me than i thought. Thank you for the correction. I appreciate the help. (to be honest, I'm mostly glad i didn't just imagine it) by therealbighairy (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 5:43pm)
  • I'm not on twitter/Facebook /Instagram. I miss out on a lot of that stuff. by therealbighairy (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 5:53pm)
  • I assume you have Galloway in that collection? by therealbighairy (Mon 22nd Mar 2021 5:58pm)
  • Bad pizza, but really good at being bad pizza? Used to be a place in govan that did the best bad takeaway pizza. by therealbighairy (Thu 6th May 2021 6:53pm)
  • About 350k for one of them. One was on Rightmove a couple of months back. I was doing the "if I win the lottery..." game and saw it. There was a gym for residents inside, too. by therealbighairy (Mon 10th May 2021 2:48pm)
  • I like simple. Only have one kid, and don't need a mansion. by therealbighairy (Tue 11th May 2021 9:50am)
  • I'll second bute. On the west side there are some of the nicest, and quietest beaches I've seen in Scotland. by therealbighairy (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 8:07pm)
  • Your still a bit too close to pure clyde there for my liking. I wouldn't swim any further east than Kilcreggan myself. by therealbighairy (Thu 3rd Jun 2021 8:05pm)
  • Used to be nice enough. Very little in the way of trouble, and handy for everything. Sometimes it could get noisy, but not terrible. Bear in mind though, my experience would be fifteen years ago now. by therealbighairy (Fri 25th Jun 2021 1:29pm)
  • I thought maybe your first comment here could have been an aberration. Turns out you actually are just a knuckle dragging cunt buried in bigotry. by therealbighairy (Thu 1st Jul 2021 9:57pm)
  • Same reason I hate the kkk. Exactly the same reason. They claim not to be a gate group, but one of their favourite songs is about being up to their knees in fenian blood. Hate someone for who they are, that's fine. If he's a knob, he's a knob. Don't hate someone for what they are. by therealbighairy (Thu 1st Jul 2021 10:02pm)
  • Still fucking wrong though. Guys singing about murdering each other because they got a different flavour of Christianity. by therealbighairy (Fri 2nd Jul 2021 7:59pm)
  • I get you. It just riles me up that there are people out there, quite often in threads like these, that are okay with "their side" doing these things. by therealbighairy (Fri 2nd Jul 2021 11:34pm)
  • Is this Stefanos in govan? by therealbighairy (Tue 6th Jul 2021 7:33pm)
  • See this makes them a firm I would like to support. I can't afford to, but I'd like to. by therealbighairy (Wed 14th Jul 2021 11:35am)
  • Good luck. by therealbighairy (Mon 26th Jul 2021 7:05pm)
  • What? You saying you aren't a gambling man? by therealbighairy (Tue 24th Aug 2021 7:38pm)
  • There was a comedian that used to say that sports shops in Glasgow had sold a thousand bats, and exactly one baseball by therealbighairy (Mon 6th Sep 2021 11:23am)
  • Train to Wemyss Bay, ferry to Rothesay, head north to the Colmac standing stone circle. by therealbighairy (Sun 12th Sep 2021 12:20am)
  • There is always someone looking to badmouth an area. I remember when I was looking at buying a place to start with, and my ex wife refused to entertain moving to Cardonald /Hillington because there was nothing there at all... by therealbighairy (Fri 17th Sep 2021 5:48am)
  • DELETED Slightly odd suggestion... Nice and sleazy. You don't actually have to go into the bar, just turn left as you go in the front door, and there is plenty to read on the walls. by therealbighairy (Mon 11th Oct 2021 12:46am)
  • This used to be the bar of choice for railway staff. My dad always drank in there. by therealbighairy (Tue 16th Nov 2021 8:24pm)
  • Argyle Street is pretty much a shell of what it used to be as well. by therealbighairy (Sun 12th Dec 2021 3:55pm)
  • I'm probably older than you. I remember Glasgow in the eighties. It was a filthy shithole. Almost a citywide slum. I've seen it drag itself back up from there before, and I'm sure it will again. It just takes time, intent, the will of the public, and a government that isn't fleecing the country for personal gain. by therealbighairy (Sun 12th Dec 2021 7:05pm)
  • No. The snp have been mitigating the policies that caused this as much as possible. by therealbighairy (Mon 13th Dec 2021 5:53am)
  • We all know that what the people in power really want is to destroy the economy, kill those below them, and lose all their wealth which is predicated on the current capitalist societal structure. Its easy to see. Just look at all these massive for-profit companies taking in billions. Communists the lot of them. They are just worried that if we knew the earth was flat, we would walk to the edge, climb the ice wall, and just fuck off top the next earth over, where we could join in small neighbourhoods, looking after each other and all working together towards the goal of a true, safe capitalist society. If I need a /s then there is something wrong between your ears. by therealbighairy (Fri 14th Jan 2022 11:12am)
  • We had the same stories in penilee, and cardonald. by therealbighairy (Tue 15th Feb 2022 11:44pm)
  • Could you maybe give an idea of what artists you mean? I feel like hip hop covers a huge swathe of ground, so narrowing it down might be helpful. by therealbighairy (Tue 14th Jun 2022 1:09pm)
  • He's insinuating you are a police officer, grubbing for info. by therealbighairy (Mon 4th Jul 2022 12:52pm)
  • I'm not going to pretend I'm not curious. When I was younger, cocaine was like... The rich people drug. First time I was ever offered it was when I moved to Los Angeles, and I'd never seen it here. Just a few years later, I heard about an acquaintance, literally losing his shit in Glasgow, because he was out of his face on Coke. First I'd ever heard of anyone here doing it, in the lower echelons by therealbighairy (Mon 4th Jul 2022 1:03pm)
  • Same money behind them. by therealbighairy (Sun 31st Jul 2022 8:01pm)
  • Saw these on Saturday, when I was there with my wife and kid. Was disappointed that none of the coos were in the fields there, but still got to see them in the fields behind pollokshaws road. by therealbighairy (Mon 8th Aug 2022 4:43pm)
  • No. On the roof is the infinity tomato. What does it cost you? Everything. Requires a sacrifice of your child over the side. by therealbighairy (Sat 20th Aug 2022 8:17am)
  • Which means they could hear you rubbing one out to the sound of them banging... by therealbighairy (Sun 21st Aug 2022 9:45am)
  • Bugger. My kid was looking forward to it. by therealbighairy (Sat 3rd Sep 2022 7:26pm)
  • It was rough for her. She was old enough to finally get to go to concerts... And COVID hit. She was so looking forward to it. by therealbighairy (Sat 3rd Sep 2022 10:38pm)
  • That's a lot further back then I would have thought. by therealbighairy (Sun 4th Sep 2022 5:34pm)
  • Greenock display at battery park is on. Like... One street over from fort Matilda train station. by therealbighairy (Sat 5th Nov 2022 11:59am)
  • My American wife, inexplicably, quite likes the blue lagoon. My daughter and I always look at her as though she's daft when she suggests it. Having only been in there drunk before... I'm wondering if she's hinting at a secret drinking problem. by therealbighairy (Wed 21st Dec 2022 4:31pm)
  • Twirl? He might be the first diabetic squirrel. by therealbighairy (Sat 25th Feb 2023 9:58am)
  • That's what I do. It's a mile. Just a mile. by therealbighairy (Fri 14th Apr 2023 5:37pm)
  • I've been on a bus that had this blasting the entire time we were on it. My wife, daughter and I were trying to get to balloch one day, but a fire on the tracks stranded is in singer. Getting the bust back from dinner, as all trains were off, the driver hit something that caused this to sound. He drove the whole way with it going. by therealbighairy (Thu 1st Jun 2023 2:41pm)
  • Ah. Sorry. I'm not up on all the sectarian bull, intentionally trying to ignore it. Thanks for clarifying that for me. by therealbighairy (Thu 22nd Jun 2023 11:24am)
  • Onion Bear? by therealbighairy (Thu 22nd Jun 2023 11:19am)
  • It's all shameful. Most embarrassing thing about the city. by therealbighairy (Thu 22nd Jun 2023 12:25pm)
  • An intentional brainwashing campaign, run over social media with its roots in foreign powers seeking to destroy their enemies using a propagandised form of soft power, targeting the disagreed, ignored and stupid, using foreigners as scapegoats? Is that what you mean? by therealbighairy (Mon 24th Jul 2023 6:23pm)
  • So...a different hate salute? Same same. by therealbighairy (Mon 24th Jul 2023 7:37pm)
  • Ah. So you're confused. Globalist implies that there aren't any nations. The two are mutually exclusive. It's it so hard for you to believe that people want to move where they think that can have a better life? by therealbighairy (Mon 24th Jul 2023 7:35pm)
  • I'm aware. I'm Jewish, ethnically. I'm used to these pricks being Nazis, but scared to admit they are Nazis. by therealbighairy (Mon 24th Jul 2023 8:18pm)
  • I can already speak German... by therealbighairy (Mon 24th Jul 2023 9:00pm)
  • When we walked past, we heard what sounded like a kid railing against gay and transgendered people. My kids called on of them fucking mental. I was oddly proud. by therealbighairy (Sat 29th Jul 2023 5:20pm)
  • I got rejected by the actress Alison brie there once. I think. by therealbighairy (Sun 30th Jul 2023 8:24pm)
  • Not with my face. I'd rather be with the wife I've got now, anyway. She's amazing. And never reads over my shoulder. by therealbighairy (Sun 30th Jul 2023 8:29pm)
  • I'm of Jewish extraction, and I've genuinely been asked this by some neds in govan. I was supposed for a second trying to work out if they were joking or just dumb. by therealbighairy (Sat 9th Sep 2023 12:12pm)
  • Went with my wife and kid. The food was pretty good, but not amazing. The decor and service were crappy. It was interesting to let my wife try a lot of food that she hadn't before. I was proud of her being a little adventurous. I think buffets are good for that. by therealbighairy (Fri 15th Sep 2023 8:07am)
  • Amazon was my port of call. It's my wife's preferred brand, and she didn't really cotton to Newman's own that you can get at Tesco. I figure if she moved to the country for me, the least I could do is get her the sauce she liked. by therealbighairy (Thu 28th Sep 2023 12:11pm)
