  • If you're heading into Pollokshields you'd be better avoiding that area altogether and coming off the Kingston Bridge at Tradeston and going via Scotland Street / St Andrews Drive. You'll still meet some traffic but nothing like the traffic at that junction. Here's the route: [https://goo.gl/maps/3K9YvRgMzSBLGMvo8](https://goo.gl/maps/3K9YvRgMzSBLGMvo8) by vollol (Thu 20th Jun 2019 1:38pm)
  • I switched from 3 to Vodafone due to city centre data being horrific and haven't looked back. ​ If you subscribe to anything like Spotify, Vodafone's ents package becomes cheaper than 3 and end up with more data. by vollol (Thu 11th Jul 2019 11:52pm)
  • Or in my development, anything you fucking like. by vollol (Wed 7th Aug 2019 5:12pm)
  • Same - just reported ours AGAIN last night. Next step will be to get on to the councillors. by vollol (Wed 7th Aug 2019 5:12pm)
  • Not open yet mate. by vollol (Tue 10th Sep 2019 11:14pm)
  • The South City Way at Shields Rd is horrible for pedestrians - there's a bike route straight into a pedestrian crossing. I go from pavement to pedestrian crossing and have to dodge bikes at full speed coming round a corner from behind with no warning. by vollol (Mon 7th Oct 2019 11:54pm)
  • Snapped a few pics on my way home tonight. What a lovely idea! https://imgur.com/gallery/gNkM6bw by vollol (Thu 17th Oct 2019 8:45pm)
  • Saramago Bar at the CCA hire out their back room. by vollol (Tue 5th Nov 2019 5:06pm)
  • No reason not to be around with a 5 year old, but regardless, as a 36 year old I don't want to be walking through that and I'm allowed out at 10pm. Shite behaviour. by vollol (Wed 6th Nov 2019 9:55pm)
  • That’s my point! by vollol (Thu 7th Nov 2019 8:28am)
  • I did wonder about that - it sounds like loads going off at once. by vollol (Sun 17th Nov 2019 7:09pm)
  • Sounds way bigger than something the council could afford tbh. It’s absolutely mental. by vollol (Sun 17th Nov 2019 7:08pm)
  • I did it online for the first time yesterday (also don't trust their fairly crappy Oyster equivalent) and it activated when I went through the barrier 15 mins later - perhaps not as terrible as it once was! u/kai_enby you can buy a smartcard season ticket from the ticket desks or from the machines - think it's "add season ticket" or something. Would recommend getting one - if you use it 10 times a week and occasional other times it's definitely worth it. by vollol (Tue 19th Nov 2019 6:13pm)
  • Elfingrove - [https://www.itison.com/elfingrove](https://www.itison.com/elfingrove) by vollol (Thu 5th Dec 2019 12:38pm)
  • Yep, Airbnb. Making my flat unsellable since 2017! (unless to another Airbnb "entrepreneur") by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:04am)
  • I thought that too! My cabbie tonight thought I was misremembering because they had those red roll up doors on the ground floor. by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:09am)
  • See also: Airbnb guests. I've had multiple guests ask me the code and when I couldn't tell them, happily came back and told me it in case I could be of help to future guests... Might have to start asking for pay / tips for my concierge duties. by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:07am)
  • Possible, but in this case unlikely. I count seven there... could it even be the Wallace Street flats? by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:05am)
  • Glad to see these guys getting a shout - brilliant folk and worth a visit! by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:44am)
  • Maggie Mays will likely show it. by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:46am)
  • Try telling that to the DVLA - they've been correcting me for years. by vollol (Tue 10th Dec 2019 1:45am)
  • Pollokshields. No one looking to own / occupy wants to live under an Airbnb (and I very much understand why.) Will probably end up selling to another Airbnb landlord and adding another locksafe to the outside of the building. by vollol (Wed 11th Dec 2019 1:24am)
  • That's interesting! Never heard of those plans, but glad they didn't come to fruition! by vollol (Wed 11th Dec 2019 1:28am)
  • That's an absolutely fascinating article. I remember being aware that those flats were extortionate at the time (must have been quite a topic of conversation for me to remember from the age of six...) but reading now that a two-bed maisonette was £164,250 in 1989... incredible. by vollol (Wed 11th Dec 2019 1:46am)
  • I have. Unfortunately the only way they can try to enforce it is to fine them £5k for not having the correct planning permission, which they're reluctant to do as apparently if the fine is paid, they can't fine them again for the same thing, so they basically end up with planning permission. Sounds mad, but this is what the council have told me. by vollol (Fri 13th Dec 2019 1:06am)
  • I'd absolutely go housing association if you can. If not, LPM are the least worst I've encountered (but that's mainly been in big developments). Hacking & Paterson and Ross & Liddel - do not even consider. by vollol (Tue 17th Dec 2019 12:50am)
  • I think you might be a wee bit under informed on that. A few things to read: [http://www.simonscotland.org/help-someone/rough-sleeping/](http://www.simonscotland.org/help-someone/rough-sleeping/) [https://planetradio.co.uk/clyde/local/news/homeless-report-rough-sleeping-glasgow-much-worse-first-thought/](https://planetradio.co.uk/clyde/local/news/homeless-report-rough-sleeping-glasgow-much-worse-first-thought/) [https://www.thenational.scot/news/17859216.many-people-still-sleeping-rough-glasgow/](https://www.thenational.scot/news/17859216.many-people-still-sleeping-rough-glasgow/) [https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/glasgows-mile-misery-number-homeless-13067774](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/glasgows-mile-misery-number-homeless-13067774) There is no magic wand that suddenly provides enough beds, or suitable accommodation, for people sleeping on the streets. There are a lot of different circumstances out there, but it's not necessarily a choice. by vollol (Tue 17th Dec 2019 1:04am)
  • It’s a Honda Civic. It goes a bit haywire when it’s been out of use. A quick jump usually gets it going. Heading for the scrapheap I think! by vollol (Tue 24th Dec 2019 2:49pm)
  • Yeah for sure. Need to get rid of it now I don’t drive every day, been a good wee motor though! Got it started in the end after being tortured with the music from George Square for an hour. Merry Christmas! by vollol (Tue 24th Dec 2019 8:31pm)
  • I was looking at their menu yesterday and have massively high hopes for their French onion soup so glad to hear it's good! OP - French food in this city is generally poor., unfortunately. Le Petit Cochon looks great but I haven't personally been. The only other place I'd suggest for French food (although they don't do French onion soup) is Bar Brett on GWR. A few very good French dishes on the menu, as well as tremendous wine and cheese. by vollol (Mon 10th Feb 2020 8:52pm)
  • Sounds good, will give it a listen! by vollol (Mon 10th Feb 2020 10:00pm)
  • Echoing previous comments, you're going to have a great time! On pets in flats, theres a current thread with good advice here (don't be put off by the title!): [https://www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/comments/f1p25y/trying\_to\_rent\_a\_place\_that\_allows\_dogs\_is\_murder/](https://www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/comments/f1p25y/trying_to_rent_a_place_that_allows_dogs_is_murder/) If you're used to Manhattan, you're best aiming for the West End as others have said. Everything is walkable, you're close to the city centre (and far enough away!) with nightlife / open mics on your doorstep. If you need to go further afield you'll never be more than a fiver or so in a taxi for most places. The south side is definitely lots more fun than it used to be and a bit of a pain to get to from most west places, but worth the occasional visit for some awesome bars and restaurants. (You'd be looking at ten pounds or more to get to Shawlands by Uber from the west end.) Parks all over Glasgow (being the dear green place) are brilliant, but not to be visited at night in general (in my opinion.) During the day, absolutely fine, but they're not well lit and can be a bit sketchy at night. Taking the dog for a walk around the west end at night will be absolutely fine though, but I'd recommend sticking to main streets just in case. Glasgow is a brilliant place to live but, like any big city, there can be shady characters wherever you go - keep your wits about you and never, EVER let someone put flyers down on top of your phone. Finally, on your anti-semitism question, as folk have said, it's not really a thing. The Jewish community are mainly focused around Giffnock,where the main synagogue is, and the south side in general, but you'll find the community across the city. Pretty much every big supermarket will have kosher food too. There's a bit of the Glasgow Necropolis that is a dedicated Jewish section that I think is really interesting and worth a visit when you're here: [https://jewish-heritage-europe.eu/2017/07/07/visiting-glasgows-major-jewish-sites/](https://jewish-heritage-europe.eu/2017/07/07/visiting-glasgows-major-jewish-sites/) The whole place is really interesting and well worth a visit. I used to use it at lunchtime at work for a hearty walk up a hill! If you want a pal when you arrive, drop me a message! More than happy to show you around in exchange for dog pets :) by vollol (Mon 10th Feb 2020 10:33pm)
  • There was a weird trend a couple of summers ago where guys would come up to people sitting outside cafes and try to sell them something. As per of the schtick they’d put their flyers down on the table, on top of your phone. When you managed to get them to bugger off l, they’d lift the flyers off the table and your phone with it. Happened to a few people I know! So right in your face but easy to miss until they’re long gone! by vollol (Tue 11th Feb 2020 2:31pm)
  • Spot on advice! Also worth having an alert on [Scarlet Mist](http://www.scarletmist.com/). It was an early ethical ticket exchange site but it's still going and always worth a look. Not sure what the script is with e-tickets these days but I'd avoid if possible - there's potential for folk to sell them and still use them, so if you don't get to the door first, you're not getting in. by vollol (Fri 14th Feb 2020 6:13pm)
  • Gallus on Dumbarton Road is decent. by vollol (Wed 26th Feb 2020 1:01pm)
  • Yep, these guys. They'll always check if it's repairable first - think I've only ever bought a new tyre once in the (plenty!) times I've been there. by vollol (Wed 4th Mar 2020 11:36am)
  • We set up a group for people who are able to help people self-isolating in the southside - over 600 members so far! https://www.facebook.com/groups/135107601261625/?ref=share by vollol (Fri 13th Mar 2020 12:04pm)
  • u/veloglasgow Just finally had a chance to check reddit for the first time in days - thanks for linking to the southside self-isolation support group! by vollol (Wed 18th Mar 2020 1:29pm)
  • Brilliant thank you! And thank you u/meepmeep! by vollol (Wed 18th Mar 2020 1:39pm)
  • Happy to help if you still need folk :) by vollol (Fri 20th Mar 2020 4:13pm)
  • Don't be an arsehole. by vollol (Mon 23rd Mar 2020 2:16am)
  • Hey u/lil-flump! I sent you a chat message after you started reposting my comment on irrelevant posts, but realise not everyone uses that! If you need some help or even just a friendly ear in these weird times I'm happy to chat with you. To explain, I said "don't be an arsehole" because your comment belittled someone who was genuinely asking for help. Remember, if you don't have anything nice (or helpful) to say, keep quiet. Now, you are more than welcome to repost that comment on pictures of my beautiful kitten, but honestly I think the members of r/ragdolls, r/startledcats and r/aww will just think you're lost. [Because who would think this thing was in any way an arsehole?](https://imgur.com/a/N7BZ6xo) Anyway, I hope you're stying well and safe. by vollol (Mon 23rd Mar 2020 3:59am)
  • Sorry - didn't mean it that way! And he is most definitely a troll. Think my initial assessment was correct. Hope your work comes to their senses soon! by vollol (Mon 23rd Mar 2020 11:24am)
  • I got flour in Sainsburys Pollokshields - first time I've seen it in a week! Going to make some soda bread to avoid having to go out for bread (my freezer chose a brilliant time to pack in!) by vollol (Wed 25th Mar 2020 3:59pm)
  • I might have one lurking somewhere. I'll have a look and let you know! by vollol (Wed 25th Mar 2020 4:03pm)
  • Oh, would love to see that! Don't have any yeast though, hence the soda bread. Suspect chances of that are low but I'd definitely give it a bash! by vollol (Wed 25th Mar 2020 6:32pm)
  • Sorry dude, searched and found every install disk (in my 2005 Mac Mini!) but that one. Recommend trying to get the iso onto a USB as above! by vollol (Wed 25th Mar 2020 9:04pm)
  • Went to school with Joe. Hope he makes it home safely, by vollol (Sun 12th Apr 2020 5:58am)
  • Thanks for posting about this. My neighbour does it and it drives me nuts, but I've had a few altercations with them before so didn't really fancy trying to discuss this with them. Hopefully environmental health will come and have a word. We have enough rats around here as it is. by vollol (Wed 22nd Apr 2020 11:13pm)
  • Yeah, saw there were a few in the area over the last few days. This seems bigger, but perhaps it's just closer! by vollol (Thu 23rd Apr 2020 10:37pm)
  • Christ it is tedious isn’t it. Out of the 10 or so that race past my house every night, only one is approaching a decent motor. The rest are Corsas with aftermarket fart exhausts that just sound broken. Naebdy’s impressed pal. by vollol (Fri 24th Apr 2020 2:25pm)
  • Probably just your battery - get a trickle charger and give that a bash. Or get someone to jump you and take it on a longer drive. Wee short runs aren't usually enough, particularly for old batteries - needs a wee motorway blast every once in a while. by vollol (Thu 4th Jun 2020 11:24am)
  • I was there, but kept very much to the outskirts. The vast majority were respecting social distancing and I saw very few without masks, but as you can see from the pictures it was impossible for the crowd around the column. Personally I wouldn’t have gone near that section, but some of the images taken from the column are not representative of what I saw. Foreshortening makes people look a lot closer than they were. by vollol (Sun 7th Jun 2020 6:57pm)
  • Stag & Thistle on Pollokshaws Road is doing it at the weekend, as is the Wee Beer Shop and I'm sure somewhere on Skirving Street. by vollol (Mon 15th Jun 2020 6:18pm)
  • I know you're set on a kitten, but from recent experience (mine was just neutered yesterday) kittens can be very hard work! My last cat was a rescue, around two years old so still had quite kitteny behaviour and was with me for 14 years until February of this year. If you want to stick with a kitten, put the word out with family, friends and people you trust - we're in the midst of kitten season and if you keep your ear to the ground you might find someone having unexpected kittens. Avoid Gumtree etc. - you'll be funding unethical kitten farms. And if you do get a kitten, **get it spayed / neutered.** by vollol (Tue 7th Jul 2020 11:39am)
  • Seems like it! Thanks. by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 7:59am)
  • That was my guess. Thanks man! by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 7:59am)
  • That’s a good point, hadn’t thought about a lack of students! by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 7:59am)
  • That’s what I thought might be happening after this one disappeared so quickly. Good luck with your search! by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 7:58am)
  • Yeah, definitely. I had been planning on buying a house but as you say the supply anywhere near central areas is so low that I’ve revised my view a bit back to just going for a bigger flat. by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 7:58am)
  • That was what I was thinking - the attraction of being where I am is proximity to the city, but not such a big attraction if you’re staying home most of the time! by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 5:49pm)
  • Thanks! Estate agent about a year ago reckoned between 5 & 10% over too. The more I think about it I think it might be better to just sell now and rent for a bit to see what the market does, hopefully get a bargain on the next step... by vollol (Sat 8th Aug 2020 5:51pm)
  • I used a guy called Stevie from SG Window Repairs for an emergency during lockdown. No idea where I got his number as he doesn't have much of an online presence (he does have a listing in the Sun directory which I won't link.) His number is 07915585353. by vollol (Tue 18th Aug 2020 8:43pm)
  • Independent butcher is a cracking shout thanks! by vollol (Thu 20th Aug 2020 5:12pm)
  • Ah, you're right - that's the ones I was thinking of having seen. They're a bit much of a muchness really though, just well-fired rolls? by vollol (Thu 20th Aug 2020 5:12pm)
  • Ah, that's the top tip I needed. Was going to stick them in a sealed tupperware to help them survive but maybe a no go? by vollol (Thu 20th Aug 2020 5:11pm)
  • Oof M&S?! Morton’s going up in the world! by vollol (Thu 20th Aug 2020 9:17pm)
  • Just tried Govanhill Lidl and no dice argh! by vollol (Fri 21st Aug 2020 2:29pm)
  • I'll test and report back. by vollol (Fri 21st Aug 2020 2:29pm)
  • Yeah, I think it's Co-op or nothing... The loose newsagents ones are definitely hoachin'. by vollol (Fri 21st Aug 2020 2:30pm)
  • My laptop speakers are pish so all I can hear is the odd bang (over the noise of my own neighbours right now...) It's incredibly hard to record the sound of another flat and accurately represent HOW loud, constant and irritating it is - I've tried to do it with the airbnb upstairs from me so I totally understand. (Imagine 8 Danish guys partying in a two bed flat above you for a week, and then it being 8 teenagers from Aberdeen kinda shite, over and over again.) A complete noise diary is the way to go, including everything you've done to mitigate it like speaking to them is what the council need. They will send environmental health out if it's bad enough, but if it's general neighbour noise / result of the shit building materials in modern flats they might not do that. You're going to have to demonstrate that it's deliberate and out of order, rather than just as a result of the construction of the building. by vollol (Wed 2nd Sep 2020 11:51pm)
  • Guitar if it’s loud enough definitely counts if it’s after 11pm and before 7am - think those are the times the council runs with for noise nuisance. The first thing they’ll ask you for is dates, times and a description of the disturbance, as well as dates and times you’ve asked them to keep it down. Have that sorted before you call them. I will say, i think it’s pretty tough to get any action on this, but wish you the best of luck mate. by vollol (Thu 3rd Sep 2020 12:33am)
  • I went to Bilson Eleven just after the restrictions were lifted. Amazing food, lots of distancing between tables and strict hygiene measures. I've been to a couple of pubs and, as mentioned, it's a bit of a mixed bag in terms of space how strictly they're applying everything. by vollol (Tue 8th Sep 2020 9:28am)
  • The CCA has a private hire space where you can have your own music - Saramago Cafe. by vollol (Tue 8th Sep 2020 9:31am)
  • Lost my Dad just over a year ago and miss his wee Glasgow stories. He knew a different Glasgow to the one I grew up in, but his stories painted a hell of a picture. Your post reminded me of that, and of him, so thank you. And thanks u/markworst. Love this piece, and I know my da would have loved it too. Gorgeous bit of work, and glad to see it inspire more conversation and knowledge about the history of Glasgow. by vollol (Mon 21st Sep 2020 8:51pm)
  • I remember being there one Saturday when somebody shouted POLIS and within about 10 seconds, the disk boxes were closed, the wee folders of lists of games lifted, trestle tables packed up and they were gone. Police arrived to a room full of people doing absolutely nothing. by vollol (Wed 23rd Sep 2020 6:49pm)
  • Bang on. Best place since Asia Style sadly passed. by vollol (Thu 22nd Oct 2020 8:56pm)
  • Ah! That makes sense. No doubt firework related. They just headed off in their van. Thanks! by vollol (Fri 6th Nov 2020 1:28pm)
  • Rumours on the local FB groups about an attempted bank robbery in Shawlands. Seems unlikely the search would extend to here but you never know. by vollol (Fri 6th Nov 2020 3:14pm)
  • Did they actually get anything? Feel like bank robberies are a rarity these days/ by vollol (Fri 6th Nov 2020 6:19pm)
  • I got my first morrison's delivery last week and nearly everything fresh was to be used that day or the next day. Was thinking about getting a pass, but not if everything has such short dates. by vollol (Tue 10th Nov 2020 11:26am)
  • Loved that book! Well worth a read. by vollol (Wed 11th Nov 2020 10:56am)
  • I donate to an organisation called Glasgow Spirit of Christmas - they do an amazing job every year: [https://www.facebook.com/glasgowspiritofchristmas](https://www.facebook.com/glasgowspiritofchristmas) by vollol (Fri 13th Nov 2020 12:34pm)
  • Just got a letter about this for my building - people aren't able to sell without it and they want the development to shell out £15k to get it done. Most of the folk in this development are BTL or Airbnb so the chances of them even responding are slim. Starting to worry I'll be stuck in this flat forever... by vollol (Fri 13th Nov 2020 12:50pm)
  • Ahhh, I knew I recognised him! The American guy? by vollol (Mon 16th Nov 2020 10:55am)
  • I got mine done a week ago. I am now obsessed with my meters. by vollol (Tue 17th Nov 2020 9:40am)
  • Might be worth giving Galgael a ring. They have a workshop that I think they might rent space, although not mouch info on their site: [https://www.galgael.org/](https://www.galgael.org/) by vollol (Wed 18th Nov 2020 11:21am)
  • I just have a friend of a friend who is a woodworker and I think volunteers there. Worth a call anyway! by vollol (Thu 19th Nov 2020 9:26am)
  • I saw someone the other day offering family tree building and it turned out they were doing it because they're Mormon. The Mormons provide free family tree research for people and use the information to baptise the dead into the church. A peculiar thing, but worth being aware of if you don't necessarily want your ancestors involuntarily baptised!

  • Best salt & chilli chicken I’ve had is from A Bite of China on Clarkston Rd but depends where you are. Next best is Panda House on Pollokshaws Rd - nothing special but tasty. by vollol (Sun 29th Nov 2020 4:26pm)
  • Kam Wa is a great shout in this neck of the woods. Been mildly disappointed in the past by salt & chilli chicken but had some other lovely stuff from there. by vollol (Sun 29th Nov 2020 5:49pm)
  • Funny wee place - I’ve only had their salt & chilli chicken but it was tremendous! Must try the fifteen but it’d be hard to drive past them for that specific dish. by vollol (Sun 29th Nov 2020 5:48pm)
  • New builds are a bit of a false economy. You're overpaying for the area as stands, and betting that it'll go up. Appreciate that fixed price is attractive in this market but you can get a whole lot more bang for your buck buying something in an existing development, with all the snagging sorted out and the ability to see what the neighbourhood is like before you move in. It's a tough decision though. Good luck with your house hunt! by vollol (Thu 7th Jan 2021 9:52pm)

  • Tonnes of sari shops on Albert Drive the surrounding streets in Pollokshields. by vollol (Sat 13th Feb 2021 11:10am)
  • Pints in pubs with dugs. Jumping on the subway to the west end for a wander, especially Relics down Ruthven Lane and the Oxfam bookshop on Byres Road. Three Judges on a Sunday afternoon for a bit of jazz / big band music. Anything decent at SWG3 (too old for the Subby these days...) And restaurants. Any of them. All of them. I just want food I don’t have to wash up after at this stage. by vollol (Sat 13th Mar 2021 9:47pm)
  • DELETED During the week you can drive through Pollok Park. They’ve banned cars at weekends for the foreseeable I think, but you’ll be fine on a weekday evening. by vollol (Tue 16th Mar 2021 3:52pm)
  • Right enough but it’s a possibility. On a weekday evening i don’t think it’s a massive deal. I’m glad it’s closed at the weekend though. Far too much traffic through there. by vollol (Tue 16th Mar 2021 8:10pm)
  • I had suggested that you can drive through one of the parks in the south side but deleted it as I appreciate it was a bit of a shitty suggestion. by vollol (Wed 17th Mar 2021 1:22am)
  • You can definitely cross if you have an appointment - just show the guy the notice. The multi-storey is free just now as well and a skoosh to get into. by vollol (Sat 20th Mar 2021 7:58am)
  • G41 is a pretty big area - where abouts are you moving to? by vollol (Thu 25th Mar 2021 1:06pm)

  • That helps! G41 is a huge postcode and you're at the very edge of it. Afraid I can't help as my GP is pretty far from you, but hopefully someone will be able to help with a GP around PRW / Kinning Park. by vollol (Thu 25th Mar 2021 1:10pm)

  • Same. Argyle St does free delivery on just eat over £5. by vollol (Thu 8th Apr 2021 8:45am)
  • I live alone in Glasgow and generally feel safe. I live on a fairly busy street and the ground floor so occasionally get folk coming up to my windows but it's generally harmless. When there have been issues (a guy who lived across the road decided to start sending me mad love notes, sticking them through my letterbox because the main door was constantly left open) the police have been quick to respond and have a word. Probably worth mentioning that the "love notes" got increasingly threatening... I wasn't just calling the police because he asked for my number... I'd do as others have suggested - it's really not a problem living alone in Glasgow but just worth getting to know your potential close / street first. by vollol (Mon 19th Apr 2021 5:58pm)
  • I can't help with the school question, but figuring out where you want to live will be a big factor in enrolling in a school! Presuming you're looking to rent if you're only here for your degree? If you want to live outside the city in a house with a garden, it'll depend a bit on your budget and will likely get you into a few different council areas which will have different processes for school enrolment. My first thought would be somewhere like East Kilbride - it's a decent distance from the city but the train to the city centre is only \~35 mins and there's plenty of family accommodation. If you can share a bit more info on what you're looking for / budget etc. it'll be easier to give you better recommendations. There's also some good info on the Wiki here: [https://wiki.glasgow.social/moving\_to\_glasgow](https://wiki.glasgow.social/moving_to_glasgow) by vollol (Tue 11th May 2021 8:05pm)
  • If you're not set on a house with a garden, that opens up a lot more! You'll need to head fairly far out of the city for a house with a garden without a pretty big budget but if you're happy with a flat you can go a bit closer to the city. Really just depends what your priorities are. Schooling - plenty of really great schools in all the local authority areas but the ones with most competition for places tend to be in East Renfrewshire (Giffnock / Clarkston / Newton Mearns). I think at primary level it's slightly less, but you'll be competing against parents who are trying to get their kids into the secondary schools there and it can get messy. Area - if you're looking for a flat, there are more options closer to the city like the west end or the southside if you want to be a bit closer to pubs / restaurants. I would say that if you have a young family, being a bit further out with more space / cheaper rent might suit better as long as you're not bothered by a 30-45 min commute to uni each way. Great advice from the commenter below on schooling but as I said, figure out where you want to live first and then get in touch with the specific council about schooling arrangements. Best of luck! by vollol (Tue 11th May 2021 10:51pm)
  • Brilliant. Will pop down if I can! Living Rent guys are doing a great job in highlighting the awful practices of landlords. Hoping you and your wife have somewhere to go?! by vollol (Tue 11th May 2021 11:04pm)
  • Fair play to you in being open to a discussion on this. I live near-ish Ibrox and don’t support any football team. You’re right that this behaviour is just a segment of the fan base - plenty of my pals who support Rangers were posting pics of them having a great celebration in their garden yesterday - but this segment is unbelievably destructive. I’d suggest that the clubs (Celtic too) make a concerted effort to identify these people and ban them from the stadiums but I imagine that the majority there yesterday don’t pay for a season ticket and just see it as an excuse to get out and cause havoc. A stronger condemnation from the fans in general (again on both sides) would go some way - as soon as anything like the sectarian chants start up its self-policed by the fans telling them to wrap it. I’ve seen a lot of folk who weren’t there still defending what happened - if everyone whether fan or not came out and condemned what is objectively horrendous behaviour and didn’t try to blame the police, the government or Pollokshields it would be easier to see a road out of this mess. But they’re not. Thuggery, violence and destruction is being defended by large numbers and there are attempts to pass the blame. by vollol (Sun 16th May 2021 12:28pm)
  • Really not like this in every city in the world. by vollol (Sun 16th May 2021 12:43pm)
  • I live nearby and today’s fire was another devastating one. There’s speculation on local groups that there is sadly one fatality. The number of major fires in Pollokshields is unbelievable - I count 4 in the last year or so. Never really hear what caused them. The kids setting fires in the quadrant last night was ridiculous. Gangs of kids cut about there every summer being wee shits. I nearly crashed my car on Kenmure Street last year after they threw a water balloon through my window. In concept, pretty funny, in reality it’s a bit of a fucking shock when you’re driving and very dangerous. by vollol (Tue 1st Jun 2021 7:27pm)
  • Wiring was my thought too. I've never heard of a cause of the Kenmure St fire - just that an investigation was underway. by vollol (Wed 2nd Jun 2021 9:08am)
  • Good advice already here, but definitely get involved in the local FB groups - lots of good info on there if you can be arsed to used FB (I only do for those groups and because I have to for work...) I'd also join nearby ones as you'll find out about more stuff going on (while wading through the parking / dog poo / missing cat posts...) A few of the main ones: Govanhill Go!

  • This will absolutely encourage more fly tipping. The southside will be (even more of) a dump in a couple of weeks. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 5:26pm)
  • I absolutely agree. However I have 100+ flats of neighbours / landlords who don’t. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 6:34pm)
  • That’s not true in my experience. I had a mattress, booked it in, they gave me a date and I put it out the night before, gone before I got up. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 6:38pm)
  • Same here. So we get charged now, rather than reporting it for uplift. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 6:36pm)
  • Not sure you meant to reply to me? But on your point, people’s laziness and ignorance is horrific, I’m with you. Living in a development where lazy landlords just dump stuff is challenging - how am I meant to fix that? by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 6:41pm)
  • I understand, but quoting me with something I hadn't said is a bit confusing. That's 100% not my thought process. I wish I could convince my neighbours to be more sustainable, but they are anonymous landlords who just dump loads of stuff out of nowhere, and often in the middle of the night. GCC might save some money, but that then pushes everything on to private owners in big flat developments like mine (fly tipping will increase and GCC won't touch it so we have to pay private companies to take it away) or it pushes it onto the streets and lanes nearby, where GCC will have to pay. Either way, it's not an "I pay too much council tax" issue - it's a how to deal with a very real, easily recognised waste problem. A £35 tariff is not the answer. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 6:53pm)
  • No worries! It’s a complex issue for sure. My immediate reaction to this is it’s going to make the issue in the south side worse. That’s based on many years of living here, and while I would love for people to take more responsibility, the landlords are going to be the issue. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 7:03pm)
  • That used to get dealt with by the regular uplifts - if the uplift was on a Friday, guys would go round in vans and pick up the stuff worth taking. Making it an individual uplift service increased costs and reduced recycling. by vollol (Mon 28th Jun 2021 8:34pm)

  • Agree with everyone - won't be too many raised eyebrows if you work in a pub during the day here, but your best best is somewhere big that won't mind if you're hogging a table at lunchtime. Second Offshore and Waterstones recommendations. If you want to work in a pub where you definitely won't get any hassle, Brewdog do a deal for unlimited tea and coffee all day and a pint when you're finished for 7 quid: [https://www.brewdog.com/uk/locations/bar-experience/desk-dog](https://www.brewdog.com/uk/locations/bar-experience/desk-dog) There's one just across from the Kelvingrove Art Gallery which is a nice wee space.

  • It’s in the place with cafe coco, the safes and the clothing store at the lights. I had some pretty decent sushi from there once, but delivery to me has been hiked to something like £6.

  • I’m so gutted about Panda House. Used to be a great Chinese takeaway, but it went to shit. I’ve been touring other options for weeks now and they’re all crap. My Friday nights are a constant fucking disappointment. by vollol (Thu 9th Sep 2021 11:00pm)
  • Second the advice to go to your local councillors if the police don't turn up in time. Are you in a block of flats? Try and get your neighbours involved as well. I feel your pain as I live on one of the routes folk drive round in circles on with their shite exhausts and those stupid road trike things. At least here they're just there for a few moments and then fuck off, before reappearing 20 mins later. We got local council involved and now have tonnes of speedhumps - arguably makes it worse as they speed up for 15ft, then slow to a crawl because they can't get over them at any more than 1mph, then speed up again for the next 15ft. One occasionally scrapes their chassis along the ground if they hit it too fast... can't deny that's a bit satisfying. by vollol (Mon 13th Sep 2021 3:39pm)

No idea if the baths are still there, but I believe those loos are now gender neutral so it's possible they might be available for use...

  • Just in England. They have a set of categories that you have to pick from - if you’re not immunocompromised, 40+, a carer, frontline healthcare or a teacher / prison staff you’re not yet eligible. I’ve wondered about the several posts about people struggling to get appts to be honest - just assumed everyone posting was in one of those categories.

  • They had to close Shields Road a couple of weeks ago because the potholes on the narrowed bridge were so dangerous and completely unavoidable. There were police there redirecting traffic for about 12 hours while they did an emergency repair which lasted about 2 days. Repairing promptly would presumably cost less, but I report it every day and it doesn't seem to make any difference. The bridge seems to be some kind of war of wills between GCC and Network Rail, but honestly, closing it for a few months would be absolutely worth it at this stage. by vollol (Tue 22nd Feb 2022 4:14pm)
  • Absolutely. They put in the narrowing fences as a "temporary" measure about 20 years ago and have just fucked about ever since. From what I've heard the bridge is absolutely gubbed and needs rebuilt. They're doing the one on Nithsdale Road in the next few weeks and it's going to take 3 months, but the Shields Road one is much much busier and I would say more urgent. I live nearby and get notifications that they're doing work on the line (in the middle of the night) every couple of weeks so it seems like desperate attempts to repair a ruined route. by vollol (Tue 22nd Feb 2022 4:29pm)
  • Yeah, definitely don't think the barren landscape at the bridge helps much, but it's a major artery for accessing all of the motorways for the south side so it really needs to be a higher priority. I just checked back and this was the response councillor Jon Molyneux shared from GCC: "Regarding your enquiry for an update on discussions with Network Rail about the replacement of the bridge, Network Rail is working on the design of the new bridge and is going to have a cost estimate in the next few months. At present there is not a definite date for works to commence although at present Network Rail is aiming to start the works for the replacement of this bridge sometime in 2023, although this date is not definitive and could be delayed." Jon is a decent councillor so trust him to keep the pressure on, but it really does seem that NR & GCC are at absolute odds here. by vollol (Tue 22nd Feb 2022 5:11pm)
  • Have to say I hard disagree on all of these, except Grahamston as I haven't tried it. Last time I was in Butchershop I had the gristliest steak I've ever had - 15 years ago it was great, but it's gone massively downhill. Miller & Carter is absolutely overrated and the quality of their steaks vs the price is ridiculous. Anchor Line is part of DiMaggios Group, and it absolutely lives down to that. Would you really rate these above Tiffneys and Porter & Rye? by vollol (Wed 23rd Feb 2022 2:11pm)

  • That’s really useful, thank you! I rang bellahouston based on the other comment - honestly didn’t think to do that as council services don’t tend to answer the phone! They recommended booking a slow lane via the app (which is a buggy bastard) so I’ve done that and will see how I go! I didn’t want to book recreational because I’m going to be on my own but if it’s possible to swim there that might be a better bet. It’s been so long, I’m hoping I’m actually secretly just an amazing swimmer but excited to do it again! by vollol (Wed 23rd Mar 2022 12:49pm)

  • Do you have a diesel generator outside your bedroom window? by vollol (Wed 23rd Mar 2022 1:43pm)
  • And if they were doing DIY every day for the foreseeable from midnight to 6am you’d be cool with that? OP is night shift, presumably in a busy area, but I live in a similar area and while general traffic and noise is ok, a diesel generator outside your window will rattle the windows and is generally horrible. OP isn’t looking for absolute silence, just whether a very loud thing is ok. by vollol (Wed 23rd Mar 2022 1:51pm)
  • No, but I suspect you sleep between midnight and 6am. OP said they work nightshift. That’s why I brought it up. Cool if thats what it was like when you moved in, but what if it was new? Would you like me to bring a big Diesel generator to your street? (Probably couldn’t afford to run it but that’s by the by) by vollol (Wed 23rd Mar 2022 1:59pm)

  • All important, but point 6 in particular is problematic. It feels, as a GCC taxpayer myself, like we’re shouldering a significant burden for public functions that are enjoyed extensively by residents of neighbouring councils. Glasgow Life is clearly a disaster of an arm’s length organisation, and consumes a huge chunk of budget. Call folk from neighbouring councils tourists all you like, but it’s a hard pill to swallow when I pay more council tax in a two bed flat than pals a few miles away (in much nicer surroundings with better bin collections etc) pay for a four bed house. by vollol (Thu 31st Mar 2022 1:53pm)

  • Never had any issues parking on Bell Street! by vollol (Sun 5th Jun 2022 1:11pm)
  • There are several airbnbs in my close. Glasgow City Council do absolutely nothing about it in my experience. Fortunately the ones in my close seem now be more like this kind of let (several months) which is much better, but when they were advertised as party flats it was a nightmare and no amount of reporting could prompt the council to enforce that rule. by vollol (Tue 14th Jun 2022 10:28am)
  • That’s good to hear. They’re not causing any bother for the moment but if it goes back to folk pissing in the close and jumping out of windows I’ll get back on to them. by vollol (Tue 14th Jun 2022 10:30am)
  • Cafe Gandolfi would be my choice - brunch ends early (11:15) but the lunch / dinner menu is lovely and it's a great space. by vollol (Tue 14th Jun 2022 11:23am)
  • I reckon we went to the same school. Agree on the shit you had to fight against. It wasn’t major, but if I could choose to live without it I would have. I think it really comes down to which is the better school, but of the kids have been baptised it’ll make it easier to get in to the Catholic school. The can then (like I did) just refuse to participate (politely) in any religious services. by vollol (Mon 11th Jul 2022 4:11am)
  • I went to a Catholic school in the 90s and there was significant sex education, just with a strong recommendation that abstinence is the only “acceptable” contraception and no sex before marriage was definitely preached. I certainly didn’t leave school not knowing what an ovary was. Perhaps the fact that your friend didn’t even realise he was at a Catholic school until after he left is an indication of his level of general understanding? And I definitely didn’t have to pray multiple times a day… a few times a year maybe, but definitely not every day. Pro-life clubs can absolutely get to fuck though. by vollol (Mon 11th Jul 2022 4:17am)
  • Sounds like bullshit. I know the (likely) school, went to it in the 90s and was taught both in biology and RE. I’m all for calling out schools and other orgs for shite behaviour but unless they’ve gotten extremely more conservative in the last 20-odd years, which seems unlikely, this is absolutely not true. by vollol (Mon 11th Jul 2022 4:22am)
  • That’s an insane amount of praying! by vollol (Mon 11th Jul 2022 11:20am)

  • [Here's the info on £5 tix.](https://assemblyfestival.com/blog/5-tickets--welcome-back-to-the-fringe) by vollol (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 5:38pm)
  • In Glasgow right now you won’t find much - everyone will be over in Edinburgh. Once the students are back there will be more going on (check out STAG - Student Theatre at Glasgow, at the fringe this month but have a few performances a year.) If you’re up for heading to Edinburgh this week, you could just about do it on your budget with a bus ticket on the mega bus (£10 return) and a £5 ticket from assembly festival for any of their shows if you have a Glasgow postcode. Plenty to choose from! Think the cheap tix end Sunday. by vollol (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 5:37pm)

  • Something a bit fancy, but not wanky - go for red onion. Not cool enough to be overwhelmed with wankers but very good food and a nice enough place to get a bit dressed up for. by vollol (Wed 10th Aug 2022 10:05pm)

  • What are you on? by vollol (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 9:05pm)
  • As a driver, I completely agree. Much prefer it when cyclists are fully visible and acting like a car on the road. One thing that does bother me slightly is when cyclists coast along large stretches. I absolutely understand that you can’t be going like the clappers all the time, but coasting towards every green light along a busy route definitely causes a bit of irritation. by vollol (Wed 31st Aug 2022 2:00pm)
  • Non Viet is excellent. Definitely worth a visit! by vollol (Wed 31st Aug 2022 3:17pm)
  • Definitely not. Owned by the same folk as the chip, and now bought over by some pub chain. by vollol (Wed 31st Aug 2022 3:16pm)
  • Yeah, I actually submitted the appeal before spotting the evidence, completely convinced of my innocence as I fully believed I'd paid the parking fee at the correct place. When I saw they had photos, I looked out of curiosity and that's what made me realise my mistake with the location number (20102 vs 20120) so technically I am in the wrong - I was definitely parked (literally under the sign hah) in the 20120 zone. Just completely confused by these pics - at first I thought they were suggesting these were evidence of a paper ticket I had bought, that they had somehow gotten out of my locked car but that can't be. Also wondered if they were trying to suggest that that was the time my RingGo expired, but that doesn't make sense with the times I paid for, never mind the fact I paid at the location around the corner! by vollol (Mon 12th Sep 2022 6:26pm)
  • RingGo actually have a handy wee parking ticket appeal letter generator which made it really simple with the VAT receipt and everything - just hoping it gets in front of someone who's feeling generous that day! by vollol (Mon 12th Sep 2022 6:38pm)
  • Aye definitely. I've submitted an appeal, but suspect it'll fail because I did choose the wrong location, and I'll be on the hook for £60 :( by vollol (Mon 12th Sep 2022 7:27pm)
  • It’s defo 30 quid if you pay in 14 days (which is up tomorrow) but from what I’ve read appealing doesn’t freeze it so tempted to pay the first one just in case. by vollol (Mon 12th Sep 2022 8:34pm)
  • That makes sense, thanks! Just very confusing with no explanation. by vollol (Tue 13th Sep 2022 9:19am)

  • Department store wise, I’d say fraser’s has gone downhill horrifically unfortunately, but would have been the place to go. Or Debenhams but also sadly gone. John Lewis maybe but probably not enough choice. When I was a bridesmaid we found a lot more choice in Edinburgh - maybe making a day out of it might make it more special? by vollol (Sat 29th Oct 2022 2:23am)
  • A wee recommendation for Stephen Devine - based in shawlands and worked with Jimmy Moon. Did a lovely job on my guitar. by vollol (Wed 16th Nov 2022 3:34pm)

  • If you’re looking for something a bit fancier than a pub, Red Onion has a good veggie / vegan menu. by vollol (Tue 7th Feb 2023 5:49pm)
  • Most bigger venues will allow over 14s with an adult. Smaller stuff is trickier, but some Tut’s gigs definitely allow over 14s, but check on the specific gig. A gig there, no matter who’s playing (just about!), will always be fun. Maybe also have a look at R-CADE on the saltmarket. Haven’t personally been but had it flagged as somewhere my teenage nephew might like. by vollol (Tue 7th Feb 2023 9:39pm)

  • Brilliant, as always. by vollol (Thu 9th Feb 2023 9:25am)
  • Wee mistakes happen and are totally understandable. But the overwhelming number of irresponsible dog owners in Glasgow made this inevitable. A real shame. by vollol (Thu 9th Feb 2023 9:31am)

  • Speaking to estate agents recently, they were saying it’s calmed a bit from the highs of 2020, but still definitely at least 5-10% above home report value. Try looking for things that have been on the market for a while, they might consider HR value. by vollol (Sun 2nd Apr 2023 6:40pm)
  • I hadn’t been for a while but took my cat in a few weeks ago to find they’d set up a cat friendly bit of the waiting room. A wee bit shaded off for cats so they don’t get scared by the dogs, feliway in the vet’s room before he went in etc. My wee pal had a great time (even despite the intrusive examination!) Thought that was a lovely improvement there, and they’ve always been great with my cats. by vollol (Sun 9th Apr 2023 2:00pm)

  • Could it be a council or housing association property? If so, it’s not. If it’s privately rented it would be and you could report it to the council. by vollol (Mon 10th Apr 2023 1:10pm)
  • Of the two (and both are a wee bit odd for holiday!), I would go with Thornwood. Walking distance to the west end where you’ll find lots of nice bars and restaurants. by vollol (Thu 13th Apr 2023 1:29pm)

  • Excellent, cheers by vollol (Sat 15th Apr 2023 1:53am)

  • It's not even Gold! In a tea-mergency I had to go to the wee shop down the road and they only had something called "Fresh Brew" tea. Nothing fresh or a brew about it. Cheap though, £1.65 for 80 bags if you like slightly browned water. by vollol (Tue 25th Apr 2023 11:37pm)
  • 44 from Newton Mearns to the West End. Not the longest, but one of the more frustrating - plenty of getting stuck in wee side streets and a great tour of most of the south side. It was the 44D when I used to take it, but I think the number might have changed now. by vollol (Tue 25th Apr 2023 11:41pm)

  • Is it mine?! If it was, I would be going for The Buttery (although I think the PDR only takes 8 people) or Brian Maule. The Malmaison and the Blythswood both have private dining rooms but haven't been to either in a while so not sure how good they are these days. I believe Ox & Finch have one, but might be a bit tight for booking it now. A few of the restaurants in Finnieston will give you the mezzanine area for private dining so worth looking at them too. by vollol (Mon 1st May 2023 5:24pm)

  • True, but I don’t think the OP was asking about whether it was better to be in a couple or not. And if he or she was to find a partner, that wouldn’t reduce their tax burden unless they decided to find a job that paid half the salary. The only point where it doesn’t pay to earn more is somewhere around £50-60k, and only if you have children because you lose child tax credits. by vollol (Sun 10th Sep 2023 6:15pm)

  • That’s good to know. I imagine we’ll easily spend £20 per person but paying up front felt like a bit too much of a commitment for somewhere I’ve never been! by vollol (Thu 5th Oct 2023 8:58pm)

  • There was a developer application a few years back to turn those buildings into houses and commercial blocks. The plans looked pretty good but went nowhere. by vollol (Sat 14th Oct 2023 10:27am)
  • Yeah. It would really help the area. It’s an absolute wasteland along that whole road, where there used to be a community. by vollol (Sat 14th Oct 2023 10:37am)
  • All sorts of interesting stuff done there. Early forms of air conditioning too. by vollol (Sat 14th Oct 2023 12:29pm)
  • The absolute state of those bins outside Bistro. by vollol (Wed 18th Oct 2023 5:23pm)
  • There’s the Nan McKay hall in Pollokshields which does loads of stuff: https://www.seinglasgow.org.uk/nan-mckay-community-hall Also plenty of groups on meetup.com by vollol (Sat 11th Nov 2023 1:01pm)
