Thrift ships are good, go to Glasgow Vintage Company next to Inn Deep on great Western road, there is regular vintage Kilo sales in Glasgow and also try the clothes app Depop where people buy and sell their clothes by wyzo94 (Thu 1st Aug 2019 7:00am)

The Carnavron up from Pure Gym at St George's Cross does 2.50 tennents, looks a little rough but it's actually a nice bar with very decent clientele and staff who both always like seeing new faces by wyzo94 (Wed 14th Aug 2019 7:02am)

The Glasgow Vintage Company on Great Western Road is great if you like something little different and it's not very pricey either by wyzo94 (Wed 14th Aug 2019 7:00am)

Not the same scenario but when I stayed in Stirling I had an issue getting my deposit back, landlord had claimed it all back. After weeks of unanswered calls emails and texts I called him up and left a voice mail on his phone. He owned the property through a Ltd company and I company house searched him, his business was registered to his home address and I went onto his Facebook and found out he had 2 daughters and his wife's name. In the voicemail I said I would go to his home address and told him where that was and he would have to explain why to his two daughters and his wife who I named at the time why a group of young men were outside with signs calling him a fraud and a con man. Money was in my account the next day, no call or text. Just placed back in. Doesn't help your story but it felt great getting one over on someone who had a terrible landlord and didn't deserve the money. by wyzo94 (Wed 11th Sep 2019 8:03pm)

Hillhead Jordanhill Rugby Club at Hughenden in the West end has 3 senior men Rugby teams and a very successful women's team. They offer options for people who have never played before and players who have played a very high standard. As a member of the sports club you also get gym access and access to the tennis courts plus discount in the restaurant. There is a bar upstairs with a mixture of craft beer and showing all the rugby games when they are on. Very regular socials as well and there is no cliche between 1st and 3rd team players. Everyone gets along well. I moved to glasgow not knowing many people and have made all my best friends here. We train Tuesdays and Thursdays. Message me direct if you are interested and I would love to invite you down. by wyzo94 (Tue 1st Oct 2019 11:15am)

Cafe Source too in Hyndland by wyzo94 (Mon 28th Oct 2019 5:48pm)

I always wondered who is doing this, I know it's rumoured to be drunk students but when I'm drunk I definitely wouldn't manage this. Surely there is a group who regularly put the cone back up for traditional sake. Why haven't the council just permanently attached a cone to his head, must be cheaper than always taking it down? by wyzo94 (Mon 28th Oct 2019 5:47pm)

Where did you find all these cones? by wyzo94 (Mon 28th Oct 2019 7:33pm)

You can still change your supplier on a pre pay meter so shop about for who has the best tariff, When I was in your scenario I moved my TV and arm chair into my bedroom and just heated my bedroom on weeknights and lived in there. It was alright and wasn't that expensive, dried my laundry in there and everything by wyzo94 (Wed 30th Oct 2019 7:17am)

I worked at Bill Gosling/Allied International credit on the spark campaign. Essentially you had to pretend you were spark, couldn't actually help anyone and the whole job felt totally pointless. How can I help? Right, I can't do anything about that. I'll send someone a message to ask them to do it but they probably won't ever respond. Whole commission structure was very complex and very easy to not get it for one reason or another. by wyzo94 (Mon 18th Nov 2019 10:14pm)

They aren't based opposite the hallmark Hotel. If so they are a pyramid scheme. Basically you join a seller team then get your own seller team and so on and so fourth. Get a job in teleperformance or bill Gosling outsourcing they will hire most people and better than that most likely. by wyzo94 (Tue 10th Dec 2019 11:19pm)

You'll get call centre work almost instantly if you want. Places like teleperformance and Kura are always hiring. Usually a large number of bar and cafe jobs available. Use S1 jobs and Indeed. by wyzo94 (Sat 28th Dec 2019 1:20pm)

Park circus is free weekends and bank Holidays and a nice safe area by wyzo94 (Mon 30th Dec 2019 7:58pm)

You've got hundreds of options being in Glasgow for flexible work. Delivery driver wise you've got obviously Amazon and Hermes but both require you to go somewhere to pick things up. Often pay per delivery and if no one is there to sign for stuff you are just driving round not delivering things and not getting paid. Food delivery is a better option. Dominoes as previously mentioned is a good option. Local takeaways have the benefits of cash in hand however no paid holidays or pension contributions or sick pay. Uber eats is pretty flexible I believe you just sign in and start delivering and you can use your car to do that. Also you have being an uber driver if you have the right car and you like talking to people. Plus there's loads of work on weekends and evenings. I know a lot of people don't like the idea but security work. You can get some nice gigs that are a total breeze and quite enjoyable. The weekend security at my work watch Netflix and go for a walk round the building every hour at most. You can also do stewarding at football matches. Pretty popular with students so you can have a laugh with your colleagues. May get some abuse but who really cares just don't take it to heart. Beyond that there will be loads of retail/ restaurants/ cafes looking for good staff. One of my friends works in an independent restaurant/ cafe and so does his girlfriend. He gets breakfast lunch and dinner there and they both get that much food home they rarely have to go to the shops. The big chains don't give out the going off food as easy but you get holidays/ pension contributions. Gallowglass the events company give loads of weekend shifts. Literally labourers for setting up big events. Very hard work but pays pretty well. Beyond that you probably have items in your house you could sell that you don't need. Old clothes can be sold on the app Depop. Books CDs DVDS and electronics can be done through mazuma mobile. You can get an app for mazuma just scan the bar code and it gives you a price. Long term part time works the army reserves is really good. Great sign on bonuses. Ability to see the world, learn new skills and get fit. It's definitely worth looking into if long term you want to work part time. by wyzo94 (Thu 2nd Jan 2020 10:20am)

Pure gyms tend to be sounder with deadlifts, Olympic lifts, chalk and things. From what I've heard the gym group usually frown upon this sort of behaviour. I use pure gym charing Cross 1 day a week and my rugby club gym most the week. by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jan 2020 3:06pm)

Just in my experience by using charing Cross and Bath Street they seem to be cooler with this and my friends who use The Gym at Anniesland and Vinnicombe Street have been told off for things. If this sign was up I would finish my session and then move gym by wyzo94 (Mon 6th Jan 2020 7:26am)

I once took a girl to the roller disco. It's fucking solid if you're pished and she was super pished before the date started. She then made me go to the grand ole opry. Being new to Glasgow I didn't know what this place was. Went in and everyone was playing bingo dressed as cowboys. At least a hundred people. She sits us down at a table and everytime a number is called out she would scream wooooo eventually the bingo caller said whoever is doing that please stop. She got up in the middle of the hall and started shouting its him and pointing at me. She sits back down and I've only had 1 pint so I'm super embarrassed. I hear the clink of boots and 2 men dressed as sheriffs come up behind me and ask me to leave. So yeah avoid roller disco and most importantly the grand ole opry by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jan 2020 9:27am)

My actual favourite first date is just grabbing coffee and going for a stroll round one of our lovely parks. Helps conversation flow early as you can talk about your changing surroundings and you haven't got that intense looking into each others eyes all evening and the pressure to keep conversation constantly going which can be hard for 2 people who have just met. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jan 2020 9:31am)

The former captain of Croatia coaches Rugby at my rugby club. Plus there is a Croatian barman there as well if that helps. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jan 2020 9:35am)

I work in Govan and stay in the West end. It has its issues but I can't say that Monday to Friday 9 to 5 its much worse than areas now apparently gentrified like Partick and Denniston. There are lots of really beautiful tenements in Govan. They have the new hospital, building the new bridge there and building a uni campus there. Imagine this is deliberate on Glasgow City Councils part to try improve an area close to city centre and west end. I think a purchase in Govan is a good investment and this new infrastructure will lead to increase in demand and property prices. Additional security measures in the meantime aren't too expensive. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jan 2020 9:40am)

Hillhead Jordanhill who who play at Hillhead sports club in the West end. We have strong link with Croatia with 3 Croatian national players having played for us. We also were visited by Nada Split rugby club last year and were planning a tour to split this summer. We have 3 men teams and 1 ladies team however looking to add a development ladies team. A complete mix of beginners and guys who have played a high standard. Welcome to come try it out. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jan 2020 9:54am)

If your kids take up a sport like football rugby and hockey, loads of teams in Glasgow, your weekends will be eaten up with that.

Andy trains at OBS but these guys are mainly with the BPO which is an untested fed but there will be drug free lifters there. There is central strength which is a power lifting gym in the city centre and there is one in ibrox that I can't remember the name of. There will be powerlifters in extreme gym but it's mainly bodybuilders. Personally I would opt for outcast barbell sanctuary and Central strength over extreme gym. IPF and BDFPA are the two feds that are drug free, they have slightly different rules so look up what you prefer. IPF tend to be a lot stricter on the belt you use and what not. BDFPA have you bench with your feet flat on the floor whereas I think IPF allow you to have just your toes touching by wyzo94 (Fri 28th Feb 2020 7:37am)

Think the government announcing the 80% pay which applies to lots of workers combined with the great weather led to a feeling of a bank holiday and not a global health crisis. I hadn't been great myself, still seeing friends for one last pint in our favourite pub and I'm disappointed with myself. Following the announcement today my dad is isolating for 12 weeks. I don't and didn't plan on seeing him anyway but I went and saw him in his garden at distance and to think that I can't see my brother and sister in that household has really brought it home. I know most of us won't die from this but most of us will be separated from family and friends due to this. Is that not enough motivation. We will all make mistakes in this pandemic but that's not a knock on excuse to keep making mistakes. by wyzo94 (Sun 22nd Mar 2020 10:19pm)

Feel roads and streets still far too busy today and workplaces are finding silly justification as to why they need to stay open with full staff by wyzo94 (Tue 24th Mar 2020 10:51am)

I just feel the rule of, any doubt don't go out. So if you have any doubt in your mind that your trip isn't essential don't leave. The faster we pull together the faster this goes back to normal. Surely no one is enjoying this and we can all buy in by wyzo94 (Tue 24th Mar 2020 2:38pm)

I'm an essential worker who can't work from home apparently and have come into work today, fully staffed and no work. Surely the ownus has to be put on employers by the government that this is unacceptable by wyzo94 (Tue 24th Mar 2020 2:43pm)

I have a private garage with a gym in it but it's across the city from my house, do you guys think it's OK to drive over here and use it? I'm in a toss up as the roads are so busy with joggers that surely it's a better option than sharing the pavement with loads of other joggers by wyzo94 (Fri 27th Mar 2020 8:46pm)

I have two builder trestles and a big of wood if you want by wyzo94 (Sun 29th Mar 2020 6:49pm)

I feel you may get torn apart for this comment but I somewhat agree with you. The police have a job to keep us safe and the measures in place are to keep the public safe. The rules are kind of clear but there is some interpretation of what is essential and not. I have to move out a self storage facility this week to another one, is this essential I don't know but the whole reason I'm moving is to be within walking distance of home so I can access my belongings. This trip is so I can stay within the outlined guidelines but I am worried if stopped by police I will be told this isn't essential. They are understaffed and under pressure and everyone they are stopping is probably giving them a power of grief so I get why they may have been a bit heavy handed in some scenarios. These measures will be in a long time and the longer they drag on the more likely people are to break the rules. Boyfriends and girlfriends living 10 minutes apart surely won't last 6 months of social distancing without breaking the rules, families and close friends as well. They are just doing their job so if challanged try be friendly and be honest with what you are doing and why you are doing it and if they don't agree it's essential advise that you will stop right away and return home by wyzo94 (Tue 31st Mar 2020 10:45am)

We have 3 teams at our club in the West end from very competitive to complete beginner level and welcoming of all people including adults who have never played. It's not what you imagine it to be and there is a hugely diverse mix of people. Feel free to DM me if you want further details but would be happy to show you round once lockdown is over and introduce you to everyone and help you with the game there after by wyzo94 (Mon 20th Apr 2020 7:07am)

Picture the scene, you are an underpaid private care home worker who gets little over minimum wage, you develop a slight wee cough but if you self isolate you only get stat sick pay, you tell yourself you are probably OK and have bills to pay so you continue going to work. You don't deliberately do anything wrong but your financial position feeds you uncertainty until you become certain you are fine. Until the government agree to pay private care workers in self isolation their wages we will continue to see problems by wyzo94 (Sun 10th May 2020 7:58pm)

DELETED Walked a marathon round Glasgow today and saw people sunbathing, who were spread out. I also saw a very small minority of people drinking and socialising who were obviously breaking guidelines. The most common thing I saw though was people walking past me so closely or 2 abreast with their partner getting within inches of me and some times forcing me to stop and stand upright against a wall or fence just to let them pass. This is just rude let alone dangerous in the current pandemic. by wyzo94 (Wed 20th May 2020 7:15pm)

Being an aussie do you play rugby? Hillhead Jordanhill is based in Hyndland not far from you and a few aussie boys there, got 3 mens teams of all abilities so would be nice to see you down. Good social side and access to gym and things like that. Plus loads of the players stay and often drink near you. This is all post lockdown but if you are keen drop me a message and I can sign you up to some of the social distancing stuff we're doing. by wyzo94 (Fri 22nd May 2020 3:59pm)

Kelvingrove was pretty busy and will be at capacity all weekend long from early till likely late and later than a usual summers day. Pollock country park is huge so likely find space there. However try your nearest park first as that is more in line with the guidelines. by wyzo94 (Thu 28th May 2020 8:42pm)

If you are using local sports teams grounds for sunbathing on please can you make sure it is OK with them first. Many grounds are closed to public under social distancing guidelines.

I think people wearing jackets and jumpers today is the craziest thing in 2020 by wyzo94 (Mon 1st Jun 2020 12:28pm)

797 dispersals on Saturday in Scotland by police. I imagine when the good weather slows down at the end of the week people will behave themselves. by wyzo94 (Mon 1st Jun 2020 1:35pm)

I understand the severity of racism and covid are both level pegging. It's something that affects people who have done nothing to deserve it. However I saw some people wearing full camo, berets and aviators on their way to the rally and couldn't help but think they were there for Instagram and not so much the cause. No one just has these outfits lying around and they aren't essential in spreading the message. by wyzo94 (Sun 7th Jun 2020 10:20pm)

Regardless of the noise if he is breaching lockdown rules that is worth a call. Thats dangerous and they should deal with that. by wyzo94 (Mon 8th Jun 2020 9:14am)

I get the emails and I get all excited yet nervous thinking about what I will do who will I tell and then get the courage to click on it and realise it is just the price of a pint I won. I celebrate with 10 pints. by wyzo94 (Wed 10th Jun 2020 11:23am)

I have a friend who is Indian and have seen him racially abused walking down Bath Street on a night out and also on Saturday afternoon outside waitrose Bearsden. Both were uncalled for acts where people engaged him for no reason. by wyzo94 (Wed 10th Jun 2020 11:26am)

When I lived in Stirling a few years ago my house was robbed and from process of elimination and a conversation I had with my neighbour I managed to workout it was him. I called the police and told them I couldn't lock my door because I had been robbed earlier that day and my emergency joiner hadn't showed up yet. The police were unable to attend even after several 999 calls because they were dealing with a bunch of students who had blackfaced for the Africa Cup or nations who were causing a stir in the city centre. The police eventually came when I called again for the 3rd time after an hour and told them I was with no choice and would have to defend my life by whatever means necessary. When they arrived the crazed neighbour burst into my door with a large knife. The police weren't the race issue that night but the students were. The police wasted their time with a bunch of student idiots then risked their lives to protect mine. by wyzo94 (Wed 10th Jun 2020 7:27pm)

That's my point man sorry this wasn't clear, these police officers were understaffed dealing with idiot racists all nightand still risked their lives to save mine. by wyzo94 (Wed 10th Jun 2020 7:42pm)

There will be racist police but I bet if I dig into anyone's family tree I can find someone who has said something racist at one point related to them, does that make your whole family racist? Police saved me from either dying or having to take life that night. There are good ones out there and when you experience them you will understandably be annoyed by these comments. by wyzo94 (Wed 10th Jun 2020 7:50pm)

Huge explosion at a scrap yard, heard it from Kelvingrove by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Jun 2020 10:17pm)

The hill in kelvingrove was absolutely hoaching this evening. Either fine them and send them home or just allow everyone the same freedom if it's no longer being enforced. by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Jun 2020 11:31pm)

Caught someone breaking into my neighbours garage last night. Just heard like this sound of someone breaking a lock as my window was open so looked out and heard a guy fucking about with the back gate/ garage next door, he has phone light on so I shone my phone torch on him and he left and got in his car which was parked for a quick getaway and I just followed him with my torch. Felt like a concerned Craiglang pensioner. by wyzo94 (Fri 19th Jun 2020 10:31am)

Yeah I understand the guidelines but there were groups well over 8 and none were distancing. Someone was also hit with a bottle and some police officers had rubbish thrown at them who tried to apprehend the suspect. by wyzo94 (Fri 19th Jun 2020 10:36am)

I play rugby at Hillhead Jordanhill in Hyndland and would love to have you down. We usually do some social touch rugby through the summer but can't just now due to covid. I can keep you in the loop and as restrictions change we can get you involved. I know myself and some of the guys would glady do a distance meet with you if you like. by wyzo94 (Sun 21st Jun 2020 9:03am)

Now I know why brits are hated abroad. by wyzo94 (Thu 25th Jun 2020 7:15pm)

Drunk teenagers fighting outside mine last night in the West end. The evacuation of Kelvingrove yesterday as well. Think Glasgow has worked hard to improve its reputation the last few years and these past weeks we are taking backwards steps. by wyzo94 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 6:28am)

It was actually exactly like that hahaha. by wyzo94 (Fri 26th Jun 2020 10:27pm)

There are some in Hyndland but a little pricey. Knightswood, Anniesland, Kelvindale, Govan. Think of areas where families are more likely to stay and outskirts of town but not in it. If you wanted to go further out Bishopbriggs would be a good shout and so would Paisley. I actually rent a garage in the West end. 120 a month single car garage no eletrics though. Plenty of those available on rightmove and gumtree. Really just depends on your budget and where you want to live. Could get a larger ground floor flat and convert one of the bedrooms as well. by wyzo94 (Tue 30th Jun 2020 8:31pm)

That sounds like a very positive experience by wyzo94 (Sat 4th Jul 2020 11:22pm)

I'm back now and it's tough by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:33am)

I actually wish I had taken up skating, watch thrasher videos all the time and a big king of the road fan. I love skatewear as well. How have you found getting into it as an adult? A lot of people have taken it up over lockdown and that's great for the sport by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:32am)

Yeah I've done the stupid ooooo I'm bored let's have a nice dinner too many times as well. by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:39am)

I did eggs for breakfast and now I'm back at work I've kept it up. Nice way to start the day and doesn't take as long as you'd think by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:38am)

For me I was able to get a gym sorted so focus on some strength goals plus have a great sense of accomplishment for getting the gym going. It's been nice to just have the world switched off. Life is so hectic and it's nice to just have time for life to just take a break. Catching up with friends has been great fun. Also Gangs of London on Sky/Nowtv was a big highlight by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:37am)

I think for me it's been nice to not have to speak to people that usually I'm forced to speak to. Also nice to get one on one chats with people who you often only see in group settings by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:41am)

I've not drank a huge amount and will probably reduce my alcohol post lockdown as well. If everyone thought about how much you spend on bevy in a year I think they would all cut back by wyzo94 (Sun 5th Jul 2020 10:40am)

Aye then like fucking weatherspoons or someone buys it and we lose it forever. Some of the best nights of my life have been and some of the best ones still to come are to be there. If I and other fans want to protect that then leave us alone. If you don't wanna protect that then that's your choice. I don't know anyone who has donated that feels misled. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jul 2020 8:12am)

I've had great times and want to continue having great times there. That's why my friends and I donated. We weren't misled. We're protecting one of our favourite past times by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Jul 2020 8:14am)

I'm moving just now (West end 2 bed to west end 1 bed) I'm the exact opposite, feel like there is quite a lot of choice out there and it's not as bad as I imagined that. Saying that I have lived in some of the most shocking flats you've ever seen in poorer times and I'm quite easy going when it comes to where I live. Buying though, fuck knows. Can afford to rent a 180-200 grand flat. Mortgage lenders wouldn't trust me with little more than a 100 grand flat, which are hard to come by in ok areas. by wyzo94 (Mon 28th Dec 2020 10:25pm)

It can be an absolute nightmare. Particularly on the way back when celtic and rangers have midweek games. I did it for 3 years or so. Stand still traffic everyday at cumbernauld for miles. Really would avoid it if you can. by wyzo94 (Wed 30th Dec 2020 12:04pm)

It's heat 5 tonight with Luke Stoltman from Invergordon, final is tomorrow. I watch it all year round. Stoltmans have a great YouTube channel, check them out and support them. Strongman is a real growth sport, Scotland and Britain have loads of young talent. Giants live was suppose to be in Glasgow this year but is now coming next year. Rumours worlds could be in Scotland next year as well. by wyzo94 (Thu 31st Dec 2020 9:02am)

I think you're right. The only issue is Martins, Mateuz, Novikov, Luke Richardson, Maxime, Evan and Trey Mitchell have bright future's. Great time to be a strongman fan. Just really comes down to events and staying injury free. That's why strongman is so good. It's anybodys win dependent on events and I can't think of any sport like that. by wyzo94 (Thu 31st Dec 2020 4:07pm)

Govanhill, Tollcross, Yoker/Clydebank kind of area. Tenements in the nicer areas are well pricey and always rising but if you broaden your mind beyond tenements you could find a place in budget a lot easier. Tenements are nice but there are downsides like often single glazed, thin floors if your neighbours are noisy, exspensive for major building work. Just find areas you like, I've made the mistake of nice flat bad area and it isn't worth it. by wyzo94 (Tue 5th Jan 2021 8:32pm)

Swapped to BBC Radio 6 Music last year and one of the best decisions I've ever made. Just a great mix of music that suits everyone at work, not the same stuff on loop all day and no annoying jingles. Quite nice to see colleagues hear songs that they didn't remember existed and takes them back to great moments in their lives. You do get the odd very peculiar song but you take the sunburn with the sunny days. by wyzo94 (Mon 11th Jan 2021 11:26am)

400K vaccines a week by end of February, quick maths means Scotland should have some normality back by start of May, this is allowing some time for the inevitable fuck up as well. Plus time for hospital admissions to reduce and the vaccines to start becoming effective. 🤗 by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 7:00am)

My sum didn't include who is done now and up till end of February to make an allowance for not ever hitting the full 400K a week. Should have made that clear sorry. by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 7:42am)

Which would decrease the number of hospital admissions , hospital admissions are the main factor driving lockdowns. We now have data today from public health England saying having covid and recovering from it can protect you for upto 5 months. This data, plus the massive vaccine roll out and the better weather should give us as close to normal as we've been for a long time. Will we be taps aff in the subby in May? Most likely not. Can we internationally travel without restrictions? Most likely not. Can we locally go for pints with friends and hug our families? I think and hope we can. by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 8:32am)

I hope people are more chill after this and focus on what really matters to them. For many this has been important reflection time. by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 8:42am)

Likewise! Just planning a trip within the UK this year as that seems like the strongest chance of actually happening. Hope you get your holiday 😀 by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 8:40am)

I imagine some touristy countries will allow people in if they prove they are vaccinated. The UK will probably allow you back in but may have to do a PCR test to prove you aren't a carrier of the virus. That's the grey area my colleagues and I were most stumped on a prediction for when doing these sums. by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 8:48am)

Very true, I'm not predicting the end of the pandemic but maybe Tier 2 or Tier 1 from then. by wyzo94 (Thu 14th Jan 2021 9:29am)

The UK will have more people vaccinated than recorded number of positive covid cases in the next few days. A huge milestone in our recovery from this awful time. by wyzo94 (Fri 15th Jan 2021 9:09am)

If current covid vaccinations continue at the current rate everyone in the UK will be done by mid August. But, vaccinations are going to massively ramp up with 24 hour vaccinations and special centres set up. End is in sight 😊 by wyzo94 (Sat 16th Jan 2021 8:34am)

Got to do the ultimate thing every employee with a bad boss wants to do yesterday. Got dragged into my bosses office and given a huge lecture over basically nothing for an hour. Left the office, took a phone call and it was a job offer. Got to go back in an hour and a half later and tell him I'm gonna resign. by wyzo94 (Sat 16th Jan 2021 8:36am)

My colleagues would have found shagging him equally as funny though. by wyzo94 (Sat 16th Jan 2021 10:08am)

I don't believe everyone will get double dose vaccine, just the most at risk and the front line key workers. Everyone else I believe will get the lesser protection of just first dose. I have to agree that doing this every year is a worry, but I imagine it may be reserved for at risk people, key workers and people going to high risk countries. by wyzo94 (Sat 16th Jan 2021 10:13am)

I actually have one in my flat, probably the same block by the sounds of it. It's alright man, rent is cheap, leccy is a little steeper but the cheap rent offsets by a mile.

You can also report anonymous online Coronavirus law breaches. Lots of people coming and going could be a party for all you know. Don't feel bad about calling them for every small infringement as if he is breaking the law, even if that's covid rules, you have the right and should contact police. This is a hugely difficult scenario and anxiety enducing scenario but one you can get out and will get out of. Try not be afraid as fear is their only power. They are the criminals and they should fear you reporting them. Get CCTV, get a personal alarm for the hall and when restrictions allow have lots of friends round regularly. Be kind to your other neighbours and band together. by wyzo94 (Wed 7th Apr 2021 10:46am)

10 years. 10 years I have invested in you. The lies, the confusion, the heartache, the sitting on the edge of my seat for weeks on end. Then, after everything I gave I get shafted with that H reveal. Raging doesn't cut it. Glad I don't pay my TV licence now. by wyzo94 (Mon 3rd May 2021 10:27am)

If you see a window cleaner doing someone else's windows nearby ask them or find out who does your neighbours ones. If they are already in that area chances are they'll be cheaper as less time between homes. If someone's quoted you 25 quid but they have to drive 15 minutes to you, set up, clean them then 15 minutes to their next job its actually a fair deal. by wyzo94 (Sun 9th May 2021 10:55pm)

I walk down that way a lot and there is always a few jakeys about but they've never bothered me. There's often police on bikes on that trail. by wyzo94 (Wed 2nd Jun 2021 9:28pm)

Removal man here. If the properties are older sometimes they were designed before white goods were invented or were common so there's not always an obvious space. It's actually quite common to have these in weird places or to not have washing machines at all and use laundry places. by wyzo94 (Wed 23rd Jun 2021 7:27pm)

Central Strength in the town. Outcast barbell sanctuary in Clydebank. Elite gym in Ibrox. Extreme gym in Scotstoun and one in Denniston, these 2 are totally fine but don't have power bars like you would get in the previous 3. Future fitness on Kilmarnock Road has lots of bodybuilders so probably not too bad for powerlifting but not somewhere I've been. Personally I commute through to Anvil Strength Gym in paisley. It's amazing and the perfect place to train powerlifting. Well worth the 10/15 minute drive and as there's so much kit there you save time once you're in there as you never need to wait on anything. by wyzo94 (Thu 1st Jul 2021 6:14am)

Seagulls are fucking savage at the moment. Been dive attacked on multiple occasions by wyzo94 (Sat 3rd Jul 2021 7:06pm)

Go from the west end, through old York Hill Park, round back of the yorkhill hospital, over the express way on the bridge at SWG3, all the way down the Clyde to Glasgow Green. Particularly nice on Sundays as all the rowers are out. At Glasgow Green. Just follow the Clyde till you decide to turn back by wyzo94 (Sun 4th Jul 2021 8:11am)

Side bar. Do not move house on a Friday. Lawyers are super busy on a Friday as there's loads of people wanting to move for the weekend. Often there will be a delay and your stuff will spend the weekend in my removal van and a second removal will be charged which you will have to claim back from whatever party is at blame, if you get it back. by wyzo94 (Mon 5th Jul 2021 10:11pm)

Anywhere on the underground line like Ibrox Kinning Park, Cessnock. Also try Anniesland, Kelvindale, Knightswood. Denniston isn't the best to the West end but if you did you'd have to get the train by wyzo94 (Thu 8th Jul 2021 7:14am)

I'm a removal man. Go all over our city meeting people and honestly it's just your luck with neighbours. I've lived in the West end and denniston with bad neighbours but I've met lovely people all over Glasgow. The city is gentrified and most areas with a bad rep are now a lot nicer and getting better all the time by wyzo94 (Thu 8th Jul 2021 7:31pm)

Nice N sleazys probably. Broadcast and the box maybe. Club 66 in Paisley is often industrial. SWG3 may have acts on.

There's an abundance of jobs out there right now, wouldn't take a chance on anywhere that seems a bit sketchy by wyzo94 (Tue 24th Aug 2021 11:05pm)

A little bit of a further walk, but a nice walk, William Cafe on Queen Margaret Drive does the best bacon roll I've ever had. Everyone who knows it says the same, coffee is great as well. by wyzo94 (Mon 27th Dec 2021 7:22pm)

I got tested 11am Xmas eve. Got my results back 10am Xmas day. Thankfully negative and was able to go and drive to my family by wyzo94 (Tue 28th Dec 2021 9:07am)

The Jarritos Mexican soft drinks are all natural. Not sure if they do lemonade but their other drinks are amazing. You can get them at William cafe on Queen Margaret Drive by wyzo94 (Thu 30th Dec 2021 8:10am)

Cheers. I wouldn't have realised anyway. Hope you find what you are after. by wyzo94 (Thu 30th Dec 2021 7:13pm)

Yeah I do agree that the best use of police time wasn't engaging a drunk idiot in an argument, telling him to leave but standing in his way. Maybe just ignore his rude comment as he's leaving then he's gone the issue is sorted. by wyzo94 (Sat 1st Jan 2022 11:03pm)

Glasgow Wood Recycling is your best bet. Also I recently built a kitchen table from an old door which I got from Glasgow Architectural Salvage. Both of these places are on south street by wyzo94 (Sun 16th Jan 2022 5:10pm)

I think if all landlords spent a weekend in their rental property before letting it all rentals would improve. I've had some great landlords and some bad ones. Like anything by wyzo94 (Tue 18th Jan 2022 5:39pm)

I got poppers in my eye in there. Now I where glasses by wyzo94 (Sun 23rd Jan 2022 10:46pm)

What type of sport? by wyzo94 (Wed 26th Jan 2022 6:01pm)

Old thought. Most places in Glasgow City are OK nowadays. Drumchapel is probably one of the least desirable at the moment but it's on a slow up and certainly not a decline. I'm a first time buyer and I am considering it. by wyzo94 (Wed 26th Jan 2022 6:00pm)

Now this is something I'm an expert in. Everyone says Lebowskis and Lebowskis is great for a wide choice of Russian but very expensive. Broadcast have a brilliant white Russian that is very well priced. The Variety bar also has a fabulous white Russian. Nice N sleazys use Tia Maria instead of Kahlyua but still pretty class and some may even prefer it. As Sleazys, Variety Bar and Broadcast are all next to each other why don't you try 1 in each bar? by wyzo94 (Wed 26th Jan 2022 8:20pm)

Extreme gym is your best bet by wyzo94 (Sat 5th Feb 2022 10:50pm)

I sell as a side business. Predominantly through vinted by wyzo94 (Sun 13th Feb 2022 9:16pm)

Your best bet is one of the extreme gyms or future fitness. Both have a large number of professional bodybuilders training there. Maybe look into getting a coach. @Amsmuscle on Instagram is a popular bodybuilding coach who's based in Glasgow but there are many others. by wyzo94 (Sat 19th Feb 2022 1:57pm)

Central strength is a hidden gem in the city centre by wyzo94 (Sun 10th Apr 2022 8:50pm)

There's a lot of people recommending pure gym and such. Pay a little more at central strength and it means you can train in peak hours and not have to queue in the gym. by wyzo94 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 6:52am)

A lot of talk of these price rises slowing due to the massive increase in the cost of living. So hopefully us first time buyers won't be quite so stung in the next few months. by wyzo94 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 9:37pm)

In this particular instance, for the property in mention, yes that's all they'll lend you :) by wyzo94 (Wed 13th Apr 2022 9:42pm)

Central strength, probably your best bet. Elite gym in Govan is literally a room of squat racks and is right next to ibrox subway. Beyond that it's the commercial places. by wyzo94 (Mon 18th Apr 2022 3:59pm)

I did once. Me and my flatmate both got food poisoning and we only had one bathroom. He was shitting and I was dancing about the hall waiting to shit and shat myself. Just couldn't hold out any longer. by wyzo94 (Mon 2nd May 2022 7:26am)

07404963048 Alex Murray John, currently doing my mortgage. Also you will need a lawyer. I've just had quotes from around 10 lawyers and McCarrys in Maryhill and Harter and Co in ibrox came back as the best prices. by wyzo94 (Wed 4th May 2022 4:40pm)

Clyde Masters in Govan by wyzo94 (Thu 5th May 2022 8:54pm)

I'm currently using Harter and Co. Not very expensive and very good. Plus will do me a will included in the purchase. https://www.slab.org.uk/solicitor-finder/harter-and-co-solicitors/ A lot of people recommended Ian McCarry in Maryhill as well. Again not too expensive. I just live very close to Harter and Co and I'm buying in their area. https://mccarrys.com/property/ I would be very surprised if you find anyone who is as affordable and responsive as these two I was quoted around £1000 all in by both these agencies. Around £400 cheaper then other firms in Glasgow. by wyzo94 (Sun 15th May 2022 7:12pm)

To take your van to the dump with the old flooring you are at least £160 as it's commercial waste. If you dispose of it in your car it's free and £15 for a valet. by wyzo94 (Tue 31st May 2022 10:29pm)

When I amass loose change I just go to a self service machine with a handful of it. Pour it in and tap anything else on my card. I just keep doing this until its all gone. Although you have quite a lot more than I usually have by wyzo94 (Fri 1st Jul 2022 5:19pm)

I actually worked there around 5 years or so ago as a stop gap between jobs. They do have an office in the Philippines and they did run significant credit checks on me and what not for what was a shitty paying job. I'm surprised your details were hacked, in the couple months I was there they were frustratingly above board and anal about things like GDPR and personal information. However, it's a low paying job and not a great place to work. There were stories of employees who had stolen bank details in the past. If you reported this to them with a strongly worded email threatening action I imagine they would answer you back. Be glad you don't work there. It was easy for me at the time as I was a 10 minute walk away and they gave me a job straight away when I'd been made redundant but it was pish. Wages were shit, they treated you like shit, you answered phones but had no actual power to do anything so all felt pointless. They randomly changed my shift pattern with no consultation. Had a good bunch of people in my team though and got a good laugh sometimes. You were dead busy so your days flew in. If you showed up on time/ showed up at all you could basically do whatever you like because it was like a revolving door of staff. by wyzo94 (Sat 9th Jul 2022 7:44am)

Bought last month, was 5% over but the property requires renovation. Lost out on many flats by a huge margin. Although I reckon it is slowing now or at least starting to show signs of slowing by wyzo94 (Mon 11th Jul 2022 2:28pm)

I deliver and install furniture. If you can get a van just get free stuff. A van for rental is gonna set you back £120 for Saturday Sunday plus diesel. The charity shops on Dumbarton Road is a good shout. Salvation army or Emmaus or usually the best prices. Beds, try gumtree or the independent bed sheps dotted everywhere. A new double divan will set you back £150. IKEA do zero percent finance as well. I just got my first home and was able to get free stuff as didn't need to pay for the van/furniture from work that didn't meet standards but all fine by wyzo94 (Tue 12th Jul 2022 7:07pm)

A lot of people are dressing homes to sell them, so make them look stylish but minimal like a show home. Makes it seem like a lifestyle of less clutter. by wyzo94 (Sun 17th Jul 2022 10:04pm)

If someone goes above and beyond then yeah. If not then nah. I would never complain about bad service cos everyone has a bad day at work. I wouldn't tip bad service just cos it's the thing to do. by wyzo94 (Tue 19th Jul 2022 10:22pm)

Second Opportunities in Govan. They are a charity and they will take it. I work there and I collect/ deliver their washing machines. If you wanted to get it down the stairs it depends. Smaller washers like 6/7kg ones I can take up stairs myself just by hugging it. The big ones, if you had to, just kinda walk it by putting the weight from corner to corner. When you get to the stairs get your hand in the drum, where the lip is lift from there and lift it down stair by stair. Take you ages and very risky so don't bother if you don't have to. We will come collect it free of charge. Top tip, if you need to get your washing machine in the gap but don't want to damage the lino, put fairy liquid on the floor and it'll slide in. by wyzo94 (Fri 22nd Jul 2022 9:12pm)

E & P Garage. In ibrox but just through the tunnel and next to ibrox subway. They are class. by wyzo94 (Sat 23rd Jul 2022 10:32am)

Elite gym in ibrox is always quiet. Mainly just free weights but if you're into strength training it's perfect. Central strength in town is also good. Focused towards strength but pretty decent. Bodybuilding wise you have extreme gym. 1 in Whiteinch on South Street and 1 in dennistoun. They are filled with bodybuilding kit. You've also got Y3T gym in the East of Glasgow. There is also sanctuary gym in linthouse which has loads of bodybuilding kit. by wyzo94 (Mon 25th Jul 2022 3:44pm)

Very good gym and really nice community environment by wyzo94 (Mon 25th Jul 2022 4:58pm)

William Cafe on Queen Margaret Drive. My favourite breakfast in Glasgow and the best breakfast roll I've ever had. by wyzo94 (Thu 28th Jul 2022 10:13pm)

I pre booked an uber, never showed. Ended up having to drive and park there. by wyzo94 (Sat 30th Jul 2022 9:43pm)

I just bought my first flat at 27. Cost 70 grand. I've worked 2 jobs for 6 years. Been very hard and I question if it was really worth it. Although it's nice to spread my payments over a longer term and relax a bit more. It's really hard because everyone offers "advice" but most of it feels just patronising. That's the bit that hurts. There's a big emotional difference in eating beans on toast because you love a childhood throwback vs eating it as a necessity. by wyzo94 (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 9:04pm)

Elite gym in ibrox. I go at about 4.30pm and I'm often the only one in at that time. Never has it ever been too busy. Never. The extreme gyms often aren't too mobbed either by wyzo94 (Fri 5th Aug 2022 5:57pm)

Elite gym in ibrox is 24 hour if you fancy a subway ride. It's 24 hour and mainly just free weights. by wyzo94 (Sat 6th Aug 2022 8:28am)

Moving Home Made easy are great! by wyzo94 (Sun 7th Aug 2022 7:42pm)

Recently just made my first purchase. If you rent there's no bad time to make a first purchase. The money you pay in rent you'll never see again. Might as well burn it. If you buy a house, so long you aren't overstretched, you'll see some returns for your money even if the market collapses. I was cautious with my purchase. I borrowed only 3 times my salary and stretched my mortgage over a long term so that I have more ready available cash for the upcoming money struggles we'll all face. by wyzo94 (Mon 8th Aug 2022 6:40am)

The price of property has been high so landlords have sold up. Try further afield, our subway system is brilliant and the train and buses aren't bad either. You will just potentially have to stay further out by wyzo94 (Sun 14th Aug 2022 9:11am)

I'm 27. Just bought my first place. Since covid loads of my mates have just bought their first places as well. Interest rates were low and covid was a good time to save. by wyzo94 (Sun 14th Aug 2022 9:17am)

I did but have taken on a 2nd job doing food delivery. I also work casually in events. I still have to watch the pennies and I'm tired hahaha. by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Aug 2022 8:03pm)

I know a lot of people who are. I don't drink or smoke. I make tuna mayo or egg mayo sandwiches and take them to work along with in stant coffee and soup in flasks. All made up of value brand ingredients. My car is owned outright and its a small wee car. My mortgage is 280 a month. My heating isn't on. I don't have tv packages. My wardrobe isn't designer. I don't have takeaways, I am having beans on toast for dinner. Yet people want to tell me if I cut out my Saturday and Sunday morning take out coffee I'll be more comfortable. Yes it's DEFINITELY something I'm doing. That hurts. It cuts deep. by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Aug 2022 8:21pm)

I've also recently just bought. As much as a mortgage is cheaper than rent I'm petrified of a huge repair bill coming through that will wipe out my small savings by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Aug 2022 8:31pm)

I get a coffee twice a week as one of my seldom treats and it's from a friends cafe. It's as much to support them as it is a treat by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Aug 2022 10:09pm)

My girlfriend is at uni still and it's hard to explain that I'm working this much because it's just the world we live in. The dream you're sold when you apply for a degree is on the most part a fabricated truth. by wyzo94 (Thu 18th Aug 2022 10:10pm)

William Cafe - Queen Margaret Drive. Great food as well by wyzo94 (Sun 21st Aug 2022 12:45am)

It's as much to do with your overheads as your salary.. If you make 21 grand a year but you are mortgage free, have no dependable and no car with a short walk to work you're probably more comfortable than a household bringing in 60K with 2 cars, a big ish mortgage and 1 child. by wyzo94 (Tue 23rd Aug 2022 2:11pm)

I stay near here and can get to the airport in under 15 minutes. Game day is the only issue by wyzo94 (Sat 27th Aug 2022 5:02pm)

Are you sure they weren't blue angels? From what I understand The Hells Angels were unable to ever get a foothold in Scotland due to the blue angels. Byres Road and Ashton Lane years ago was a no go area as the bike gangs all hung out there. It is in theory a club but the blue angels have been linked to serious organised crime in the past. by wyzo94 (Sat 27th Aug 2022 5:34pm)

They are also linked with serious organised crime. My friend was cell mates with one for a while. I also use to be close with one of the founding members grandsons. by wyzo94 (Sat 27th Aug 2022 5:44pm)

Goon: a violent, aggressive person who is hired to intimidate or harm people. Yeah, I agree. by wyzo94 (Sat 27th Aug 2022 6:21pm)

Regardless of the current economic climate. There is a lack of supply of homes, we are a desirable city. Prices will continue to rise but will stagnate if the economy carries on the way they are. I'm a recent first time buyer and bought at the low end of my budget. Some of my friends bought beyond their budget and God knows how they are going to keep up with payments with the way things are going. by wyzo94 (Sun 28th Aug 2022 10:01am)

A lot are well expensive or social housing. by wyzo94 (Sun 28th Aug 2022 12:41pm)

Old boxes are also good if you get a gap in what you're packing into the van, fold the flat box up till it fills the gap. If it can shift, it can break. When packing the load, builders, boxes and bags. Builders are things like chest of drawers and tables. Bags include things like chairs, light things. Start with the awkward stuff as that catches you out at the end. by wyzo94 (Tue 30th Aug 2022 4:18pm)

Removal man here. Old blankets, curtains, duvets work. Even if you get old boxes just break them to flat and fold that over the furniture. Can usually find free moving boxes on gumtree and old curtains in charity shops. by wyzo94 (Tue 30th Aug 2022 4:15pm)

Rangers are playing at home by wyzo94 (Tue 30th Aug 2022 9:13pm)

Yesterday I was driving through Shawlands and a car full of celtic fans was next to us. There was a dad and his daughter who was about 5 years old both in rangers tops and the car passengers shouted "enjoy the game you big specky mongo" as he stood there holding the hand of his young daughter waiting for the lights to change. I love this city and the football can be a bit of fun between friends but that made me feel sick. by wyzo94 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 2:17pm)

https://www.jpakremovals.co.uk/ I'm an ex removal man. Try these guys above. I have no links to them whatsoever but everyone I know in the industry always said if you're ever moving abroad these are the guys to do it. You can hire a van and do it yourself. You'll need 2 drivers though. It's actually very tiring driving for that long and you'll start to cramp up after about 5 or so hours. by wyzo94 (Tue 6th Sep 2022 10:19pm)

I love William Cafe on Queen Margaret Drive. Always friendly, great coffee and a brilliant breakfast roll. by wyzo94 (Wed 7th Sep 2022 9:57pm)

West end is mainly council and commercial chain gyms. Extreme gym at Whiteinch is a hardcore bodybuilding spot.. Elite gym through the tunnel or on the subway in ibrox. That's mainly Olympic lifting. Glasgow Uni is also good but now students are back it will be busy. Outcast Barbell Sanctuary further out at Clydebank. There is a free weights room at Hillhead Sports club that has just been refurbished but it's small. by wyzo94 (Sat 10th Sep 2022 7:20pm)

Part of the role is shop work. Done a 5 hour shift and 2 deliveries before. Spend as much time in the shop doing dishes and preparing meals as I do out and about. It's honestly not bad. by wyzo94 (Mon 26th Sep 2022 12:49pm)

I make between 21 and 22k in my day job. Took on a second job and make 30k now. Feel a lot more comfy but had I been making this when I bought my flat I probably would have bought a bigger one and a nicer car etc. You just spend more tbh. by wyzo94 (Mon 10th Oct 2022 12:06pm)

My flat was 70 grand and my car isn't fancy. It wasn't a bad wage a few years ago. I genuinely saved up for 7 years. I also have had a few second jobs and done plenty of cash in hand work over the years which couldn't go to my mortgage affordability but did allow me to use cash and save my wages. So a bit of a fudged 22k. I'm quite tight and near gave up drinking for the 12 months prior to purchase. Honestly don't even know if it was worth the work. The one thing I would say though is I'll never ever ever complain about paying my mortgage because the graft it took to get here will never be forgotten. by wyzo94 (Tue 11th Oct 2022 6:16pm)

A team sport. When I moved to Glasgow I joined a rugby team and made friends that way. My brother lives elsewhere and wanted to make friends so he took up rugby in his early 20s. by wyzo94 (Mon 17th Oct 2022 6:53am)

I am an ex removal man. There was a guy who was bloody amazing at it but he's moved back to the Czech Republic. If it's a grand piano you need someone pretty good. An upright is pretty easy tbh. People I know who are very good and experienced at this are Moving Home Made Easy and Lomond Removals. For a grand you need an item called a piano sleeve and not all companies have one so you are best using a real removal company and not a man with van service. by wyzo94 (Thu 20th Oct 2022 11:37pm)

So you take the legs off a grand and a couple other bits. You put the main body onto it's side and into a wooden almost pallet type thing. You put removal ties onto the piano securing it to the sleeve and then you put more ties through gaps in it and lift it using the ties. An upright is pretty easy. Any reputable removal firm should manage that. A lot of good removal firms are hesitant to just do one off jobs but if you're really adamant you want the best service tell them that and they should be willing to provide it. Moving Home Made Easy are very good. I know a guy at Lomond Removals who is very good at pianos. Kilmarnock Removals in Ayrshire have a good name but personally I don't know them. There's a lot of removal companies. Tell them you want it export wrapped. That's protective packaging for international shipping. by wyzo94 (Fri 21st Oct 2022 12:08am)

I deliver for a pizza hut part time. I did 12 deliveries last night and got £1.60 in tips. I'm usually happy if I get enough in a week to get a coffee and roll on Saturday morning from my favourite Cafe. Tips have declined since the world went cash less. by wyzo94 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 6:48am)

I used Harter and Co in ibrox during the summer this year. They were really good and did my purchase for £1074 all in. This included my Will as well. by wyzo94 (Wed 9th Nov 2022 6:23pm)

Agree with second hand opportunities. They are really good for white goods as well. Got a washing machine and fridge for under £100 for the pair this year. by wyzo94 (Wed 9th Nov 2022 6:27pm)

Elite gym in ibrox. Central Strength in town. Future Fitness in Shawlands. Extreme gyms in Whiteinch dennistoun and East Kilbride. Y3T gym near Rutherglen. Outcast Barbell Sanctuary in Clydebank. Anvil strength gym and the foundry in paisley. JPs gym in Coatbridge. That's all the ones I'm aware of. The 3 Extreme gyms, future fitness and Y3T are more your bodybuilding focused gyms whereas the others are more centered round strength and conditioning https://instagram.com/y3t_gym_glasgow?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/extreme_gym_glasgow_official_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/futurefitnessglasgow?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/elitegymglasgow?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/centralstrengthglasgow?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/anvilstrengthgym?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://instagram.com/obsgym?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= by wyzo94 (Fri 11th Nov 2022 6:55am)

Anvil is pretty amazing and the owners are very nice people by wyzo94 (Fri 11th Nov 2022 11:50am)

I am a removal man but sound's like you need more a man with van type service https://alphapackandgo.com/ Stelios owns this business. He's fully insured and is a bit of a character in a nice way. He's who I usually recommend if someone is looking for a man with van instead of a more high end removal service. If you decide to rent a van don't use Arnold Clark or anyone like that. Use AMK or Portman van hire. They are much much cheaper and also a local business. If you want to message me privately I can potentially help with it as well. by wyzo94 (Sun 13th Nov 2022 10:07am)

I work 2 jobs and pick up shifts in a 3rd place. I've always lived quite tightly so couldn't really see a way to cut back anymore. I actually don't mind the multi jobbing as I like to be kept busy and keeps me from spending money as I'm at work. by wyzo94 (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 6:33pm)

Ermmmm the only bits I can think of near the royal that have houses aren't great. Loads of people live with dogs in flats. Just have to get a breed suited to a flat environment by wyzo94 (Sun 4th Dec 2022 7:22pm)

Second opportunities in Govan always have loads of office furniture by wyzo94 (Tue 6th Dec 2022 10:26pm)

People moan to me about the lack of taxis. Then next breath they moan they are skint. Sounds like they know their solution and thats jumping on an taxi shift a couple nights a week. by wyzo94 (Thu 8th Dec 2022 8:18pm)

Opal moon on Queen Margaret drive by wyzo94 (Sat 10th Dec 2022 9:22am)

They have a maximum occupancy in the shop. Makes it elusive. It's also jam packed so a lot of stuff to browse and it's affordable. Lots of unique pieces. I can understand why ques develop. by wyzo94 (Sat 10th Dec 2022 10:16am)

Anvil gym in Paisley. It might be a strongman type place but no one is bothered what you are upto when there's someone flinging stones in the corner. It's a real nice community vibe and not filled with posers. by wyzo94 (Sun 11th Dec 2022 8:25am)

Somewhere expensive and with a dense population. School grades and quality affect house price's so wealth helps with that. Dense population because supply and demand. More people = more stuff to do. by wyzo94 (Mon 12th Dec 2022 7:04am)

Dehumidifier. If you can't afford that you just have to air the house. Open the windows wide at both ends of the flat twice a day for about 5 minutes. https://hannahteslin.com/expat-life-and-tips/what-is-lueften-germany it's actually law in many tenancys in Germany. by wyzo94 (Mon 12th Dec 2022 6:45pm)

Join a sports club. Worked for me and my brother recently did the same after moving to Dundee. by wyzo94 (Mon 12th Dec 2022 8:07pm)

That's a real shame. I work for a charity and went to a pensioners house today in Johnston. She had a jacket on over her dressing gown and loads of layers on. Duvet on the sofa. The condensation was streaming down the windows so much there was puddles on the floor. Some people are really this desperate. by wyzo94 (Tue 13th Dec 2022 9:07pm)

I'm working more just because work is warm and if I'm not in the House I'm not spending on bills by wyzo94 (Wed 14th Dec 2022 9:36pm)

Frank Mitchell in Paisley will take it. Really nice guy by wyzo94 (Mon 19th Dec 2022 7:55pm)

William Cafe, Queen Margaret drive by wyzo94 (Fri 30th Dec 2022 11:01pm)

Bellahouston probably cheapest. The village gym has a pool, maybe worth the additional if closer and using regularly. by wyzo94 (Sat 31st Dec 2022 9:53am)

Literally any fast food place. All are crying out for staff. Most are pretty laid back. by wyzo94 (Sun 1st Jan 2023 11:36pm)

These places use to be bad but have gone out of their way to make it better for staff in recent years. Source, work part time in a fast food place. by wyzo94 (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 3:28pm)

Always better using someone independent for Car/ Van hire. My brother had a quote for Arnold Clark and saved just under £100 by using an independent for a 1 day hire! by wyzo94 (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 2:58pm)

Easy storage/ Lomond removals at polmadie. Lens self store in kinning park. Storage vault in kinning park. A to Z storage in East Kilbride. Moving home made easy. GTW Storage in city centre. All reputable. Get quotes around. Source, I'm a removal man. GTW is worth a visit because it's a pretty cool unique old building in the town. by wyzo94 (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 8:06pm)

If you want a man with van service you may be worth using an actual removal company who do a packing service. Moving Home Made Easy do this really well. If you are storing stuff for a year or two I'm assuming it's either valuable or sentimental. By having it properly packed it'll last the test of time and survive through storage. Alternatively I can recommend cheap man with van services as well if you'd prefer that but seems you cherish your belongings and that's why you are storing them for so long. by wyzo94 (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 9:48pm)

Second opportunities in Govan will collect white goods and furniture. Fridge's are hard things to dispose of but they'll take it. by wyzo94 (Thu 12th Jan 2023 4:36pm)

Where's the best place for second hand books in Glasgow? by wyzo94 (Tue 31st Jan 2023 11:00am)

Sound cheers. I'm too disorganised to borrow from libraries and I like owning them by wyzo94 (Tue 31st Jan 2023 11:25am)

Location wise that's quite handy for me by wyzo94 (Tue 31st Jan 2023 11:25am)

Doughballs. I actually work a for a different pizza place and we all rate doughballs by wyzo94 (Fri 10th Feb 2023 2:00pm)

I wore a NYPD police department t shirt and kept interrupting them with insights I'd learned from CSI. I wasn't called back. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Feb 2023 10:15am)

Apparently people don't usually ejaculate when they assault someone so there was no semen on the scene and reading all the Rebus novels doesn't give you the undisputed highest qualification to head up a jury. by wyzo94 (Sat 11th Feb 2023 6:05pm)

Cafe Source too in Hyndland. Might get one this week. Nice so they are by wyzo94 (Mon 13th Feb 2023 10:08pm)

The book shop on Otago lane, thistle and Ross or something or other. The interesting books shop on skirving street. Caledon books on great western road. They would buy the rarer copies. For the more common books you can get an app called We Buy Books and scan the barcodes. I sold to we buy books last week. The Magpies eye in Govan will take what you can't sell. I love reading and usually buy my books second hand and trade them back in on We Buy Books. by wyzo94 (Sun 19th Feb 2023 8:26pm)

Simeone's on byres road had a sign in their window today that they were hiring kitchen staff. by wyzo94 (Sun 19th Feb 2023 9:13pm)

Can you drive? Do you own a car? by wyzo94 (Sun 19th Feb 2023 9:11pm)

Any fast food place. McDonald's are recruiting hard and so are dominoes. by wyzo94 (Sun 19th Feb 2023 9:10pm)

There's always loads of jobs available as cleaners as well if you are after part time work. Big chains are a good place to look like subway, Gregg's and loads of other places. Just think we has literally loads of employees and go on the careers page on their website and apply. by wyzo94 (Sun 19th Feb 2023 9:17pm)

Try looking on indeed for call centre, contact centre work. They will hire you in a hard beat. The big ones are Kura, Teleperformance, Bill Gosling Outsourcing, Capita and call centres owned by the likes of BT and vodaphone by wyzo94 (Sun 19th Feb 2023 9:15pm)

I used Harter and Co in Ibrox. Really affordable, super helpful and friendly. I will use them for my next purchase. I emailed about 20 lawyers and they quoted me the best price June last year. by wyzo94 (Mon 27th Feb 2023 5:33pm)

The only people I know who'd use this service are people who'd do it once for the gram. Then they'd move onto the next fad they can put on their Instagram and forget about you. If you cut good hair, you'll be successful. If you make good food you'll be successful. If you combine the both nah, it won't work. If people are around you are telling you this is a good idea you need to find other people to bounce ideas off. by wyzo94 (Mon 27th Feb 2023 11:48pm)

With the cost of living and the short staffing crisis right now there's no suppliers. Everyone I know says their work is understaffed or the staff they do have are so fresh and undertrained they may as well not be there. by wyzo94 (Sat 4th Mar 2023 1:57pm)

Aye. Source, someone I know was in prison with one of their owner's. by wyzo94 (Sat 4th Mar 2023 1:55pm)

I always confuse them and McGills buses. One got done for fraud and the other was drug dealing. Morton's were linked to a known criminal who was accused of racketeering other bakeries. by wyzo94 (Sat 4th Mar 2023 2:08pm)

William Mcilvanney (aided by Rankin in his last book) his Laidlaw serious is based in Glasgow. J.D Kirk and his DCI Logan crime series are centred around Glasgow major crime unit. Two good options if you like crime books. by wyzo94 (Sun 2nd Apr 2023 9:19pm)

They shouldn't have done that but doesn't really matter tbh. No one cares so long it tastes ok. by wyzo94 (Tue 11th Apr 2023 8:45pm)

William Cafe on Queen Margaret. Wouldn't go anywhere else for them. Taken all my colleagues there and they agree. Drive a van as well so me and my colleagues have sampled our fair share. by wyzo94 (Thu 13th Apr 2023 2:16pm)

There's some good book shops though Magpies eye in Govan. Magpies eye do 3 fictions books for a quid. The Oxfam shop on byres road. My most sacred place, the beautiful temple that is Waterstones on sauchiehall street. Scotland's biggest bookshop and the dopamine just rushes over me every time I step inside. by wyzo94 (Thu 8th Jun 2023 7:58pm)

I've worked at least two jobs for 8 years now. If you drive food delivery is your best bet. Whether that's Uber eats etc, through a chain like Dominoes, Papa John's and Pizza hut. Can also do independents takeaways. Did some event crewing through cop 26. That's through companies like five star crew and gallowglass. They set up and set down events. If you have the funds to put yourself through an SIA badge you can do door work. Football stewarding you can do without an SIA badge. You can also get cafe work, waiting work, bar work. There's a whole power of weekend work out there. I enjoy it, it doesn't feel like working when you're there one day a week, just catching up with work mates. Doing something a bit different. by wyzo94 (Tue 13th Jun 2023 10:30pm)

I always liked it here but feel guilty I haven't been in a while. This is yet another reminder to myself that if you don't use something you really like you lose something you really like. by wyzo94 (Tue 20th Jun 2023 9:14pm)

Try Event Crewing like Five Star Crew or Gallowglass. Can also do event stewarding via rock steady and G4S. Event venues like the hydro and The O2 academy take on casual bar staff by wyzo94 (Mon 23rd Oct 2023 7:21pm)

I've rented loads of vans, AMK are best if you need 24 hour drop off. Portman in kinning park is slightly cheaper if you just need it for say 6 hours. Don't use a chain like Arnold Clark, enterprise or whatever they are usually at least double the price, no exaggeration by wyzo94 (Tue 24th Oct 2023 1:35pm)
