There might be some place open at the airport before you get to the security gates by zebradee (Tue 15th Jan 2019 10:20pm)

Has he stopped trading already or do I still have time to grab what would be my first one, tomorrow? Had built myself up for trying this at some point but now Im panicking by zebradee (Sun 27th Jan 2019 5:40pm)

Whats the deal with buses crashing into houses? There must have been about 20 of these incidents in the past 12 months wtf by zebradee (Mon 4th Feb 2019 6:23pm)

I was in that KFC on the first day of re-opening and it was pretty chaotic. The two order kiosks, the mainpiece of the renovation, were not working. The juice was being poured into cups from bottles. The staff were overwhelmed as the renovators were asking them stuff and they were trying to take orders at the same time. Hopefully those teething problems will sort themselves out though by zebradee (Sat 9th Feb 2019 2:41am)

Its quite nice inside and the downstairs outside bit is pretty modern. Whereas The Courtyard was a bit old man-ish, Cul Cuil is a more young working professional type of an outfit. £5 for a pint of Heineken though and Lagunitas is available on tap, for like £6 I believe. Think it means "go in, go out" or something along those lines by zebradee (Fri 22nd Feb 2019 3:21am)

Ahhh, the return of neds. Long awaited yet not too soon. by zebradee (Wed 27th Feb 2019 2:34am)

Did someone in the twitter thread say it looks like Tesco Maryhill ha by zebradee (Fri 1st Mar 2019 2:03am)

Wonder whats in that big cask. Hope its whisky to feel safe in the knowledge our forefathers were kindred mentalists by zebradee (Mon 4th Mar 2019 3:30am)

Shouldnt be hard to find a few pellets in town mate by zebradee (Wed 6th Mar 2019 1:58am)

I object your honour! Always found them fit for purpose. Its no Heston Blumenthal levels of detail but rarely disappointing. Can only vouch for hot rolls but not sure about the cold fillings by zebradee (Mon 11th Mar 2019 9:46am)

Think Sprigg does vegan aswell by zebradee (Thu 14th Mar 2019 3:44am)

Good Spirits Wine and Beer or Valhallas Goat might be worth checking, they stock all sorts of stuff you wouldnt find in a run of the mill shop the sells booze by zebradee (Thu 14th Mar 2019 10:42am)

Dunno man but your use/overuse of those creepy emoticons is unsettling by zebradee (Thu 14th Mar 2019 10:41am)

and the rest by zebradee (Thu 14th Mar 2019 10:52am)

Leaving your bike at Bridge St station is probably not a good idea either. The area is a bit rough by zebradee (Fri 15th Mar 2019 2:13am)

If shes already used to commuting 3 hours a day then you should definitely choose Glasgow centre. A lot of the time people aren't aware of the commitment when they say they'll be OK with commuting x hours each and every day to get to work/uni and can burn out quickly, but since shes already been doing it she knows what shes getting herself in for. I'm from Glasgow and live in the centre and I would not be upping sticks to live in Stirling if given the choice by zebradee (Fri 15th Mar 2019 2:19am)

Yiamas for the Gyros are hard to beat, priced incredibly well too. Doner Haus for the German Doner Kebab style, however its sit in only and prices are what you would expect in a sit-in restaurant. Babylon and Shawarma King for the Shawarma style kebabs by zebradee (Tue 19th Mar 2019 3:29am)

oooft sounds like a game changer! by zebradee (Tue 19th Mar 2019 10:00am)

Should check out a blog called The Shawarma Police. It might be exactly what youre after - guy goes to places and takes pics and writes short reviews etc. The Syrian place at St Enoch apparently dish up humongous portions, so big that the guy couldnt even finish the whole thing by zebradee (Tue 19th Mar 2019 11:06am)

St Enoch barbers by zebradee (Sun 24th Mar 2019 10:21am)

Absolutely by zebradee (Sun 24th Mar 2019 10:59am)

NN10 is a pub owned by an ex Rangers player which shouldnt be too rammed as itll be a ticketed entry. Tickets might be sold out though. Failing that The Angel across the road is a good backup option by zebradee (Tue 26th Mar 2019 11:20am)

St Enoch barbers by zebradee (Tue 2nd Apr 2019 2:35am)

Went in there the other day. Ordered and got given a buzzer thing that goes off when the order is ready (already a red flag for a kebab shop wtf). On my out a cunt was standing by the door waiting to open it for me (again, is this the new kebab shop chic?) wtf by zebradee (Fri 5th Apr 2019 5:24pm)

How else will the instagram hype beasts be told what they like if theres no big deal hype around something by zebradee (Fri 5th Apr 2019 5:20pm)

Someone correct me if Im wrong but I dont think you can take an Uber directly from outside the airport? I think you need to walk out to somewhere near the Holiday Inn hotel? by zebradee (Sun 5th May 2019 10:47am)

Max's is very decent by zebradee (Thu 16th May 2019 1:34pm)

Spanish Butcher (amazing old aged beef from Galician blonde cows, cooked to perfect and tons of cuts available. Parmesan fries are next level), Bread Meats Bread (succulent burgers and incredible poutines) and Paesano (best pizza ever, hands down). by zebradee (Thu 16th May 2019 1:36pm)

aye right that Dominos pizza by zebradee (Thu 16th May 2019 3:58pm)

The Factory by zebradee (Sat 18th May 2019 1:20pm)

Christ, that must be fairly traumatising to see. The Police might be able to offer some assistance if you need it; if you witnessed the incident then they will want to speak to you. by zebradee (Wed 22nd May 2019 10:18am)

Kudos to you and everyone else in that situation, this sort of response delivered immediately gives the affected person their very best chance of survival by zebradee (Wed 22nd May 2019 12:22pm)

Anyone else think this photo has an 80s aesthetic going on about it by zebradee (Sat 8th Jun 2019 9:26am)

As someone who sometimes cant be arsed cooking and likes takeaways but on a budget - as long as you're not too specific on what you want then there are places who offer A) cheap (relative to eating out prices) food B) free delivery C) no minimum order value. As you can imagine, not every establishment is tripping over themselves to tick all three of those boxes but there are some that do and I've always enjoyed the food. Mostly it's been middle eastern places. by zebradee (Fri 14th Jun 2019 10:09am)

Just as well you clarified there was about to recommend the NHS for your lung woes by zebradee (Sat 15th Jun 2019 9:24am)

Depends on what you want out the room. Cant go wrong with Radisson hotels really by zebradee (Tue 18th Jun 2019 4:16pm)

Down to £5.99 from £9.99 I believe. Power move getting one solo though so hats off by zebradee (Wed 19th Jun 2019 4:16pm)

Honestly Im not a violent person but if someone tips that tub of kebab sauce oot ma possession theyre getting an intimate encounter with A. Roundhouse by zebradee (Thu 20th Jun 2019 11:48am)

how do you even go about getting a job at an afters ha by zebradee (Mon 24th Jun 2019 10:24am)

Name checks out by zebradee (Wed 26th Jun 2019 11:31am)

Bibimbap do them I think and they do takeaway by zebradee (Fri 28th Jun 2019 3:14am)

Its the same menu by zebradee (Fri 28th Jun 2019 10:48am)

Try the Secret Flyer app - they aggregate all the best deals and mispriced flights available so you can find a complete bargain sometimes by zebradee (Tue 2nd Jul 2019 3:22am)

Lots of taps but unfortunately most of them are Brewdog beers by zebradee (Wed 3rd Jul 2019 5:21am)

I can confirm they do takeaway by zebradee (Sat 6th Jul 2019 4:26am)

Scotch Egg is not Scottish btw. Scotching is another word "frying" by zebradee (Wed 10th Jul 2019 12:20pm)

Its for Bubbles to collect later &#x200B; &#x200B; *lets see if anyone gets the reference* by zebradee (Mon 15th Jul 2019 9:49am)

All their PR gaffes aside they seem like a good bunch to work for. AFAIK they do bar swaps, where one set of bar staff can swap places with another set of bar staff in the country (abroad too?) and they organise a big party annually for all their staff and send them down to Manchester or somewhere for the day. &#x200B; James Watt is still insufferable though by zebradee (Tue 16th Jul 2019 8:08am)

You should check if you are eligible for a 0% money transfer credit card. It won't cost you interest (vs a finance plan) and some of them you can pay over 48+ months by zebradee (Fri 19th Jul 2019 2:57am)

Crossmyloof n ill cut ye by zebradee (Wed 24th Jul 2019 11:14am)

Fraserburgh is up there too, maybe even tops Peterhead IMO by zebradee (Thu 25th Jul 2019 9:24am)

Your best bet might be ordering online since minimum pricing and alcohol deals seem to not apply even if shipped to Scotland, at £150 spend you might even get free delivery by zebradee (Sat 27th Jul 2019 4:18am)

Spend £40 to save £20 though by zebradee (Sat 27th Jul 2019 4:17am)

It's either Chris Tarrant or that Come Dine With Me commentator (Dave Lamb?) by zebradee (Fri 9th Aug 2019 12:52pm)

Bier Halle have a pretty large beer menu (or did the last time I was in 2 years ago) might be worth a try there by zebradee (Sat 10th Aug 2019 10:01am)

Second Koelschip Yard. Would push the boat out and say they have the best selection in Glasgow by zebradee (Wed 14th Aug 2019 11:52am)

Do the buses not have a number on the back that can be called to complain about the driving? by zebradee (Thu 15th Aug 2019 10:18am)

Pot Still sells Tshirts as well as some other souvenirs like flasks, key rings etc by zebradee (Fri 16th Aug 2019 2:02pm)

Smuggling drugs are we son? by zebradee (Mon 19th Aug 2019 11:52am)

Had no idea that Seth Rogen had even heard of The Shack by zebradee (Thu 22nd Aug 2019 6:25pm)

Second TK MAxx. Could get lucky and find a suit of fairly high quality for the same price as one from Topman/Burton etc by zebradee (Sun 8th Sep 2019 6:47pm)

Can't see any mention of the Necropolis yet, but be sure to put that on your list! Best vantage point of the city and some really cool ancient buildings right nearby by zebradee (Mon 9th Sep 2019 9:36pm)

Come on, even thats free on this sub by zebradee (Tue 10th Sep 2019 11:57am)

Was in a Tesco up in Aberdeen one time yonks ago and they genuinely had security at the chilled foods aisle as all the fancy desserts were being marked down. It was a scene right from a dystopian encyclopaedia by zebradee (Tue 10th Sep 2019 9:36pm)

Co Op near central station has it, they keep it out of sight but they do have it - just need to ask for it by zebradee (Thu 12th Sep 2019 9:05am)

Cant beat the old mans pubs if youre heading out solo by zebradee (Thu 12th Sep 2019 1:06pm)

Although a nuisance, I doubt it will have any major impact on G1s revenues. by zebradee (Sat 14th Sep 2019 11:59am)

The food is fresh, authentic, high quality and cheap. The old saying that if there's people from the origin country of the cuisine eating there then it must be good, applies here. by zebradee (Mon 16th Sep 2019 9:04am)

Quite possibly in Valhallas Goat or Good Spirits. Although Im sure I've seen it in GG Brothers or somewhere like that before, can't remember if it was there or somewhere but someone might know the "Liquor City" type booze shop that I'm on about by zebradee (Mon 16th Sep 2019 10:47am)

Theres a shop on Argyle St in Finnieston that has all sort of old gen Macs etc in the window display if you come to a loose end it might be working checking there (I forget the name of it though), its not far from El Perro Negro by zebradee (Mon 16th Sep 2019 10:54pm)

Eg-lint-un by zebradee (Tue 17th Sep 2019 11:10pm)

If you're here on a whisky trip it might be worth adding The Glasgow Distillery to your visit. It's fairly easy to get to from the centre by zebradee (Wed 18th Sep 2019 11:16pm)

Donald Trump by zebradee (Thu 19th Sep 2019 9:54am)

Is this vodka creamy like Baileys or just like normal vodka? by zebradee (Thu 26th Sep 2019 11:17am)

Im a regular there, cant say I have any complaints about it. Some of the multigyms are busy if I go during peak hour but thats to be expected, however theres a duplicate of each station so the wait is hardly long by zebradee (Mon 30th Sep 2019 11:13am)

Chillis in Woodlands. Theyve a BYOB policy aswell by zebradee (Fri 4th Oct 2019 3:09am)

To add some context - this wedding was in Northern Ireland. Doesn't excuse anything though by zebradee (Sun 6th Oct 2019 4:21am)

Indeed, but some of the lyrics of the adapted version do fit in the NI context (bigoted, hateful context) e.g. fuck the pope, fuck the IRA, stuff about UVF. by zebradee (Sun 6th Oct 2019 10:18am)

I would argue that this building provides cultural value, it serves much like art. Paintings don't exactly provide much "value" by zebradee (Mon 21st Oct 2019 5:49am)

Yep and Amazon by zebradee (Wed 23rd Oct 2019 3:02am)

Upstairs in Broadcast can be quiet depending on what time/day you go. Decent beer on draught to boot by zebradee (Fri 25th Oct 2019 4:42am)

Seen some nice beaches in the Corinthian on a Friday night mate by zebradee (Fri 25th Oct 2019 9:20am)

Can second SKApade by zebradee (Tue 29th Oct 2019 3:34pm)

Cardross could be another option. It is close to Helensburgh, it has a train station and the train can take you as far as Edinburgh, small and quaint village with a pub and a wee shop and aw that stuff by zebradee (Thu 31st Oct 2019 2:37am)

Penny\_Century99 - The Merciless by zebradee (Fri 15th Nov 2019 6:20pm)

They are there but their souvlaki wrap is £6 and you don't get much for your money. If you're heading to the market just for the gyro then you're better off at Yiamas, who'll serve you a gyro 2-3 times the size and for not much more; the meat and bread are much better quality and the chips are homemade and seasoned. Can ye tell Im choking for a gyro from Yiamas? by zebradee (Sun 17th Nov 2019 7:40pm)

What sort of cafe? I didnt realise that this was an issue - if you mean smaller, informal dining places (lets say Partick Duck Club as an example) I can't say I've ever had any issues and I dine out at these places maybe 2 times week on average by zebradee (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 12:22pm)

Paprika MAX are god tier IMO by zebradee (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 11:49pm)

Odd day of the week to choose to go out by zebradee (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 11:47pm)

Makes sense if you've been working 5 days on the trot, I assumed you were a Monday-Friday worker ha by zebradee (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 11:50pm)

It is! Can you guess which one? by zebradee (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 11:57pm)

On yourself, I'd be doing the exact same ma man by zebradee (Tue 3rd Dec 2019 11:57pm)

Yasss! Created this account right after watching the film ha by zebradee (Wed 4th Dec 2019 12:03am)

pfft by zebradee (Wed 4th Dec 2019 10:10am)

Im sure the Co-Op next to central does them aswell by zebradee (Thu 5th Dec 2019 9:31am)

Things may seem down at the moment but they will get better, it's just a matter of time by zebradee (Mon 9th Dec 2019 12:06am)

Pot Still tends to be quite hectic, doubly so now that it's Christmas/work winter nights out season. If you're looking for somewhere quiet to chill then it's not the most ideal place. by zebradee (Tue 17th Dec 2019 4:54am)

Install CCTV and fire up a "this area is monitored by CCTV" sign somewhere really obvious (so they cant miss it). Had a similar issue and its helped Can probably get away with a fake CCTV camera aswell, as long as the sign is there by zebradee (Sun 22nd Dec 2019 10:39am)

That'll be the pre-meditated part by zebradee (Sun 22nd Dec 2019 11:49pm)

The Banter of course by zebradee (Mon 30th Dec 2019 11:28pm)

Are you looking for ideas on how to be entrepreneurial (if so then I guess everyone is) or a way to make a few extra bucks? If the latter then without a car I guess your best option is Deliveroo, otherwise you'd need to just find shifts at bars and takeaways/restaurants? Uber, delivery driver, Amazon courier etc are all the sweet gigs that you work as you wish but all require a car. &#x200B; Otherwise you can buy and sell things on eBay by zebradee (Fri 3rd Jan 2020 11:40pm)

Shared, Constantinople x by zebradee (Sat 4th Jan 2020 2:39pm)

Not to be a party pooper but Limmys accent is about medium-strength Glasgow accent, you will most likely encounter a much more difficult to comprehend linguist. &#x200B; Edit to add: the more difficult to comprehend accents are not as common to come by, depending on which part of the city you will spend most of your time in by zebradee (Mon 6th Jan 2020 11:37pm)

Max's Bar and La Cheetah (club), Berkeley Suite (club) , Brewdog bars are OK but a bit overpriced for what you get, Drygate (microbrewery) is a decent bar, Howling Wolf has a good atmosphere and is a jazz bar that's open til 3AM (one of the few bars that is open so late, only nightclubs tend to operate until late), Nice n Sleazys, Slouch (sister bar to Howling Wolf but with mixed music and with a stage for live bands, also open til 3am). There's a lot of choice in the centre area really, within a relatively small area (can walk it all in like 20 mins) you will find cheap places, high end places, beer places, cocktail places, street food eateries, fine dining places. I guess what Im saying is that the centre is not a sprawling area, everything is condensed into a night out manageable without taxi's. by zebradee (Wed 8th Jan 2020 4:13am)

Counting calories using an app like MyFitnessPal really helps - you need to be disciplined with it though and put EVERYTHING you eat/drink through the day into it. Helps mentally as you can see when you're approaching your recommended daily calorific intake and should slow down. Eventually it'll create a mental barrier, that'll make you conscious of the calories you are consuming by zebradee (Wed 8th Jan 2020 4:16am)

Mozza does any pizza for £5 by zebradee (Sun 12th Jan 2020 8:03am)

The Bay Horse might be worth a shot by zebradee (Sun 12th Jan 2020 11:09am)

Incorrect. Brown sauce is for wee boys by zebradee (Tue 14th Jan 2020 11:44pm)

Grew up outside Glasgow when I was a kid - when me and my mates got the train into town for the day (as like 12/13 year olds) our first stop would be this shop. Good ole nostalgia ha by zebradee (Tue 21st Jan 2020 11:41pm)

GDK do do takeout. Wish that Doner Haus did but alas they do not :( by zebradee (Fri 24th Jan 2020 10:11am)

Pipeworks by zebradee (Mon 27th Jan 2020 3:39pm)

I think what they meant is we've made it to the end of January, finally by zebradee (Fri 31st Jan 2020 8:33am)

Probably best to avoid Sauchiehall Street at night, large crowds amass there and while there not be a higher rate of incidents there I guess just by sheer numbers of having so many people in a small place that there might be some malicious actors amongst them. Some guy did pull a gun on a bouncer a while ago there lol Avoid taking shortcuts through any of the lanes, they are not well lit and people might lurk there and be hard to spot by zebradee (Sun 9th Feb 2020 9:41am)

Koelschip Yard in the southside, if not on tap then they will definitely have some bottles in their fridges. Brewdog Doghouse in the Merchant City is probably your best bet in the centre area by zebradee (Tue 11th Feb 2020 1:54pm)

You could rent a single room in a cheap hotel/airbnb/hostel when you arrive and then start searching for flatshares, once you find one of a desirable description you can go and meet your potential flatmates to see if you would be happy to live with them. I have not rented in a long time but I guess meeting people you'd potentially be spending a lot of time with in close quarters would not be weird or unreasonable before committing to anything. by zebradee (Tue 11th Feb 2020 7:28pm)

Im sure I seen it in Drury St pub by zebradee (Tue 11th Feb 2020 10:57pm)

Absolutely - some people will not answer if their phone to an unfamiliar foreign telephone number by zebradee (Wed 12th Feb 2020 8:36am)

No bother! Feel free to ask any other questions you might have! by zebradee (Wed 12th Feb 2020 8:58am)

A flight to Norway takes less than 2 hours I guess :) (in all seriousness you will be unlikely to find snow at ground level 2hrs from Glasgow) by zebradee (Wed 12th Feb 2020 9:19am)

That's what I thought too. Had a looking for Carrington Street on gmaps and it's a wee side street. I guess the victim left with this American lassie, went down that street after partying somewhere (says early hours in the article), was somehow attacked and maybe ashamed to report it. I'm making morbid assumptions but I don't think it was a robbery, since you'd report that shit right away. by zebradee (Wed 12th Feb 2020 4:31pm)

Brewdog Doghouse in the Merchant City, I think the other Brewdog pub in the West end is dog friendly too by zebradee (Mon 2nd Mar 2020 10:02am)

Yep, through a friend I know a personal chef who works for a celebrity and can confirm they will want someone with 99+ years experience and a glowing CV to work for an apprentice salary by zebradee (Fri 6th Mar 2020 10:32am)

Wiping their bums by zebradee (Sun 8th Mar 2020 11:23am)

Checking-in by zebradee (Mon 9th Mar 2020 6:46pm)

Off-peak train tickets from Queen St to Waverley are like £14 return. Depending on your working hours this could be an option by zebradee (Tue 10th Mar 2020 10:21pm)

Were there any pictures to accompany the words? Could be some advice for people travelling between China and the UK with regards to corona virus. As already mentioned there is a large student population but also there is a workforce/relatives of students here who might not be as able to speak English as the students themselves. &#x200B; Either way I know that my attention could be captured if I caught a glimpse of an advertisement entirely in Chinese (if I were Chinese) here in Glasgow so I'd be enticed to read what it says by zebradee (Wed 11th Mar 2020 12:46pm)

Sugo and Paesano confirmed shut as of yesterday by zebradee (Thu 19th Mar 2020 4:08pm)

It's funny when he's surprised that when Sauchiehall street continues in Charing Cross, it's just as shite as in the centre by zebradee (Fri 27th Mar 2020 12:21pm)

Looks like they've got [previous](https://twitter.com/GlasgowSEPolice/status/1245281030589812742?s=20) for being artsy by zebradee (Wed 1st Apr 2020 3:47pm)

True. Accent might be heavy but his dialect is pretty light by zebradee (Sun 5th Apr 2020 5:55pm)

Valhallas and Good Spirits Wine and Beer are doing local deliveries by zebradee (Thu 16th Apr 2020 1:43pm)

if you have instagram or facebook then try contact them via there. They're quite active on those channels by zebradee (Fri 17th Apr 2020 11:36am)

n wit by zebradee (Fri 24th Apr 2020 3:58pm)

They're not just in petrol stations, seen one in the Sainsburys across from central station main entrance. Might be in other shops too by zebradee (Sat 25th Apr 2020 2:40pm)

Order some clippers and shave your hair off. I think most people on the street will reserve judgment on your look given the circumstances by zebradee (Mon 11th May 2020 12:54pm)

¿whay? by zebradee (Fri 15th May 2020 6:32pm)

SpitFire are opening up on Friday. Only been in a few times so can't now remember if they do iced coffee as it's not something I usually order by zebradee (Wed 20th May 2020 6:07pm)

Yeah, I'd say if they didn't give you a heads up in the first place and have not made any effort to get it from you nor have you had any success that you should not suffer any financial damage plus any responsibility of it as it travels from you to Amazon by zebradee (Thu 21st May 2020 11:34am)

Someone got stabbed with a meat needle by zebradee (Sun 24th May 2020 9:46pm)

Erect a scarecrow by zebradee (Mon 25th May 2020 2:13pm)

Don't see people saying they love the weather here very often :D by zebradee (Wed 27th May 2020 12:18pm)

Pretty morbid to think that there's people out there to whom the ease of deleting history is appealing by zebradee (Tue 2nd Jun 2020 1:32pm)

I completely agree, the Uni has acknowledged their role and done some good. A museum was suggested in here and that's a good idea. Changing names for the sake of painting a rosy picture of the history of this city is an injustice to those were affected by zebradee (Tue 2nd Jun 2020 2:14pm)

The sum of history is a balance of good and bad. Why should we remember only the good things? The fact that people are upset now by this, people who weren't there and were not directly touched by the actions that happened before they were even born, shows that what these street names have done is keep afloat the memory of the atrocities that happened back then and that will benefit us moving forward in the future. If we delete, then we forget and then the cycle restarts by zebradee (Tue 2nd Jun 2020 2:12pm)

It's took an incident in the USA for us here to organise a rally though by zebradee (Thu 4th Jun 2020 9:56pm)

Get out of here with all that logic and reason by zebradee (Sun 7th Jun 2020 2:49pm)

It will be moored there until the Cruising market picks up again post coronavirus. Essentially it'll sit there with minimal crew who will be keeping on top of maintenance etc by zebradee (Thu 25th Jun 2020 3:42pm)

Dr pepper, paprika walkers max and a galaxy bar &#x200B; However for a wee while I was hooked on chicken shawarma crisps from the co-op. I can categorically say, without any science to back my theory up whatsoever, that chicken shawarma crisps cured my hangover every single time by zebradee (Tue 14th Jul 2020 4:10am)

I'd recommend booking into a council operated MOT centre as they have no incentive to pick up on bits which are passable but some private garages might choose to fail you on to get some business out of you, as they generally are only testing centre and not repair shops. &#x200B; Disclaimer: I'm not sure where or if there is such a centre in Glasgow, the last time I had a car was when I lived in Aberdeen but I got my MOT done there at one of the centres I described by zebradee (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 10:16am)

Football tickets for either Celtic or Rangers games will range from £25 to £50 depending on the game. If its not a big game the tickets will be cheaper. A ticket to a Celtic v Rangers game will only really be obtainable from either someone you know who has a spare ticket or from someone selling their ticket either outside the stadium or online on a forum by zebradee (Mon 3rd Aug 2020 10:28am)

Could be performance art or could be on the kit. Its a fine line by zebradee (Thu 27th Aug 2020 4:28am)

St Enoch barbers are pretty decent and only £14 for a fade by zebradee (Mon 21st Sep 2020 10:42am)

I understand why its frustrating but its not surprising, during the first lockdown there was tons of cunts drinking in parks or outside the pubs that were doing takeaway pints and the police did nothing. Maybe they were even instructed to turn a blind eye so long as there was no trouble. by zebradee (Sun 27th Sep 2020 9:36am)

Some places sell food so cheap, plus the app takes 30% off their sales, that you wonder how they could possibly make any money yet they somehow survive. Compare that to a big fast food chain, who sell their food at the lowest possible price to make a profit and theyre more expensive than this local Glasgow chain by zebradee (Sat 10th Oct 2020 10:13am)

I've wondered how the delivery drivers rate is set - I take it the delivery fee that users see on the app is not what the driver will get paid? Some places do free delivery so I wondered where the money for the driver comes from, is it taken from the cost of the meal? by zebradee (Fri 16th Oct 2020 12:00pm)

Fair enough. I guess as a driver you'd want the long distance deliveries, whereas as a cyclist you could maximise with surges by zebradee (Fri 16th Oct 2020 6:57pm)

I'd tip taxis drivers if they didnt speak to me ha by zebradee (Sat 17th Oct 2020 10:36am)

I'm in G1 and currently on the fastest plan available to me. Uninterrupted 4K Netflix you can forget about for example, as well as having too many devices connected. It sucks and I've been here for a while and it doesnt seem like that'll change any time soon. by zebradee (Thu 29th Oct 2020 9:14am)

Don't know if it'll be the majority but there will be lots of places offering takeaway after 6pm by zebradee (Thu 5th Nov 2020 9:58am)

Slightly off-topic but Aldi are doing a 2 metre continuous pig in blanket sausage (i.e. not those little nibble bites) from beginning of December I think. That's 850g ye kin buff in one night by zebradee (Wed 11th Nov 2020 12:42pm)

Seconded by zebradee (Sun 14th Feb 2021 9:13am)

Is it not owned by the same people as Bucks? by zebradee (Mon 29th Mar 2021 10:14am)

Thunderbird wings are amazing. The hot sauce ones proper blow your mouth off, kinda like USA level hot (unlike most vanilla strength heat for the UK palate). Big wings with plenty meat on them too and the sauce is thicc. El Perro Negro wings are small but also up there. by zebradee (Mon 29th Mar 2021 10:16am)

FWIW I'm interested in investing in crypto too, and obv in Glasgow. Haven't sought out any groups tho but would be happy to chat ideas or whatever should you ever want to PM by zebradee (Wed 7th Apr 2021 4:24am)

[https://www.classicvideo.co.uk/](https://www.classicvideo.co.uk/) &#x200B; Could give these guys a call, they advertise the service you're after. by zebradee (Thu 1st Jul 2021 5:25pm)

There is a golf thing on Bath St towards Buchanan Street side by zebradee (Mon 5th Jul 2021 12:15am)

Thundercat for an amazing deep pan chicago style pizza or Spanish Butcher for an amazing steak. Then a walk along to the Necropolis to sweat the food off by zebradee (Sat 7th Aug 2021 6:28pm)

American Candy Store by zebradee (Thu 19th Aug 2021 1:16pm)

Stick them on ebay listing the faults (aside the TV I guess). Some folk who repair broken items might be in search of some of the parts you have destined for the bin. Something productive might come out of it yet again maybe not. by zebradee (Sat 21st Aug 2021 11:17pm)

Something that's good and that def won't be found in Glasgow is the North Star Benrinnes bottling made for Good Spirits Co 10th anniversary. It's about £50-60 and tastes like a tropical fruit cocktail. It's really good by zebradee (Fri 15th Oct 2021 9:08am)

Personally I found the KSF wrap to be much greasier than the SK. Damasqino is worth a shot, they are running a 2 for 1 promo on Uber Eats at the moment too, so you can get 2 for £5.50 + delivery fee by zebradee (Mon 25th Oct 2021 11:42am)

Hyndland used to be a good tennis club. Haven't been there for years tho by zebradee (Sat 6th Nov 2021 3:04pm)

Can find Pide at Mezze and a Lahmacun at German Doner Kebab. Can always buy a kebab box and top them to your satisfaction by zebradee (Mon 8th Nov 2021 9:56am)

Once a robbing bastard always a robbing bastard by zebradee (Mon 8th Nov 2021 10:12am)

I would say it's not worthwhile visiting any of the bars that surround George Square if you want a Scottish feel, they are mostly all chain pubs with not much character. Worth visiting The Counting House though just to see the interior of that building by zebradee (Fri 26th Nov 2021 7:02pm)

Either fly direct from Aberdeen to Norwich or fly Glasgow to Stansted then get the train. by zebradee (Sun 28th Nov 2021 9:36am)

Can't even count on two hands the amount of times I've wanted to eat some nice chilli somewhere. The only place I've found that does a chilli I like is Dennistoun BBQ but it's only a side dish there :( by zebradee (Sun 5th Dec 2021 5:17pm)

Are buses going to be running on the 1st of January? Never had to use them so never paid attention but now I've made plans which may involve taking a bus and as far as I can see theyre all off?! by zebradee (Sun 26th Dec 2021 5:29pm)

If the council lower business rates or provide economic incentives to companies who want to fill empty units then we'll end up with more tartan and American candy stores. Not the sort of US trade anyone wants by zebradee (Wed 19th Jan 2022 1:44pm)

Doesn't require that much extra time, since it's a long haul flight you should look to turn up 90-120 mins before take off by zebradee (Fri 11th Mar 2022 8:56pm)

Errol's Pizza in the southside is NY style. One of, if not the best pizza in town IMO by zebradee (Sun 20th Mar 2022 11:01pm)

Berkeley Suite or La Cheetah? by zebradee (Sat 26th Mar 2022 5:12am)

Ibrox/Cessnock might fit your criteria. Got subway stations and generally in good proximity to the centre by zebradee (Sat 9th Apr 2022 10:56am)

Thundercat do hot wings with a thick sauce, very close to what you'd find in the US. Extremely hot by zebradee (Mon 25th Apr 2022 11:52am)

although it doesn't conform to the typical "Asian street food vendor" image, to me the chippy is the Scottish equivalent. Can be eaten on the go, is generally quickly made and probably greasy, can be eaten after pubbing/clubbing on the way home and is synonymous with helping to soak up a belly full of booze. The humble chips cheese and curry, cant beat it by zebradee (Sun 1st May 2022 12:05pm)

I guess everywhere will be busy and some places ticket only. The Auctioneer, the Maltman, Oswalds are a few city centre suggestions. Over in PRW the Rangers pubs will show it I imagine. Hopefully a fan zone will come to fruition by zebradee (Wed 11th May 2022 11:28am)

Surprised noones mentioned Spanish Butcher here, which gives me the impression that it qualifies as a hidden gem. Pricy but really hard to beat. They use meat from old dairy cows by zebradee (Sat 18th Jun 2022 2:05pm)

Not entirely relevant to the story but I did watch the thing about this on STV news yesterday and they showed the councillor trying to stick some piece of paper to the soaking wet wooden dookit with some masking tape. What a total shambles by zebradee (Mon 20th Jun 2022 8:45pm)

It's "Frites" will be on Hope St near Central by zebradee (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 5:13pm)

That's exactly what it was. Seen a vid of fans doing it by zebradee (Tue 16th Aug 2022 4:37pm)

“Ah yes, nothing to see here. We are just processing driving license applications. Oh no, you see in China we do the application in restaurants” by zebradee (Thu 27th Oct 2022 6:33pm)

Feel like doing that tbh any time I need to interact with any governmental department by zebradee (Thu 27th Oct 2022 9:26pm)

The London route might be quite busy as it's a business route, especially during that hour (arrives in London early for meetings). I assume since you've got a connecting long haul flight you'll be checking a bag in at Glasgow and that's where most of your time will be taken up. I've been in similar scenario before - fly to London then connect for long haul; turned up 1.5hr early only to be queued out right to the far side towards the international arrivals area. They were quite switched on tho and since there was people checking in to BA for various flights taking off within 30-1 hour from each other, they shuttled all the earliest take-off to the front of the check-in desk to get them up to security by zebradee (Tue 20th Dec 2022 8:00pm)

This is the death of the independents, from April onwards no more support with bills from gov for businesses. The concentration of big chains is going to become greater by zebradee (Tue 10th Jan 2023 9:54am)

It’s annoying cos I imagine the principle business activity of the airport now are car parking services. Should work on improving the airport and attracting more operators who can offer access to more and decent destinations by zebradee (Tue 28th Mar 2023 6:44pm)

Knew that was happening when Manchester raised theirs to £5. I’m sure it’s the same group that own Glasgow airport by zebradee (Tue 28th Mar 2023 6:42pm)

They are owned by a different company but aye they’ll use the same justification but the rise might not be proportionate to GLA by zebradee (Tue 28th Mar 2023 6:45pm)

Ah, I should looked it up. I had MAG in mind (thought that meant Manchester, Aberdeen and Glasgow but it doesn’t at all 😂) by zebradee (Tue 28th Mar 2023 7:15pm)

Have used them abroad before and found them to be no different than MegaBus tbh by zebradee (Thu 6th Apr 2023 2:36pm)

What do you recommend as an alternative? by zebradee (Fri 5th May 2023 6:30pm)

Might be worth checking out Greaves Sports, they used to stock lots of Scottish teams kits incl lower league teams by zebradee (Mon 8th May 2023 12:47pm)

Got one there today too. Absolutely solid price for a fancy independent coffee shop right outside a major train station in the centre by zebradee (Fri 12th May 2023 7:34pm)

Were they all heading back to the same hotel? It would definitely be unusual to leave someone behind like that if so. If everyone’s going their own ways after then I don’t think it’s strange to just organise your own travel by zebradee (Sun 18th Jun 2023 9:39pm)

No doubt about it, OP mentioned “cooperated” travel which the own arrangements was in response to. Abandoning someone is def not acceptable by zebradee (Sun 18th Jun 2023 9:55pm)

The response you are looking for is "it's time tae get a watch" by zebradee (Sat 22nd Jul 2023 11:55am)

Disagree with that statement too - I made friends while on holiday in a bar who I have now known for 10 years and have celebrated New Years and even an xmas night out with them. Fully encourage chatting to folk at bars! by zebradee (Mon 24th Jul 2023 1:46pm)

You can get in by train and subway, the bus would involve a short walk. Would rather "suffer" 10 days of inconvenience in turn to be able to host a world event. If this event was hosted in Edinburgh or London, they'd still have to close city centre roads off. It's not just because its Glasgow by zebradee (Sat 5th Aug 2023 3:47pm)

I would argue that the disruption isn't that huge - if you are a local then how are you struggling to get in? It's only closed to car traffic. I see Tantrum could not get stock in yesterday but are back open today, so clearly first day teething problems have been resolved. I see most other businesses are fully operational today by zebradee (Sat 5th Aug 2023 4:07pm)

Totally agree - I'd rather we cut the number of cars on the roads in the centre. There are situation where people require a car to get into town - disability car, moving into a property, doing a huge shop, but if you just want to come in to go to a cafe then Glasgow must be the best connected city in Scotland for public transport. You can get in from most anywhere in Scotland and beyond with relative ease by zebradee (Sat 5th Aug 2023 4:29pm)

Can’t even enjoy a succulent shadowboxing session without being interrupted these days by zebradee (Fri 25th Aug 2023 10:31pm)

The Spanish Butcher. Best steak and sides in the city. On the ££££ side though by zebradee (Mon 18th Sep 2023 7:07am)

Brewdog in Kelvingrove. Window seats look over KG art gallery by zebradee (Sun 15th Oct 2023 1:42pm)

They are a shower of incompetent shite. Property manager was on holiday half the time and when pushed to get some works started, he’d be “away for lunch” whenever we tried to call. I had an unpaid bill and they chased me for it in the end by zebradee (Wed 25th Oct 2023 8:17pm)
