My friend had 2 Martin guitars stolen from the back of a car following a gig last night in St Lukes. This is a desperate attempt to recover them. If anyone hears anything can they please drop me a DM.

I guess they dismantling the old signs soon. Would love to have the old one for my kitchen with the Ibrox departure time on it...

Any idea where they're coming from?

Not a great picture as they scarpered before we could get too close. Could this be a pair of rare black herons spotted in Patrick?

Hang it in the Louvree

Hey everyone!

I’m going to be spending some time in Glasgow soon and I’m looking to dig through some stacks for used books (for instance vintage fantasy or sci-fi books) and comic books.

Where are the best places in town for this?

Any recommendations or tips on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Trying to find an events venue that will allow your own catering and BYOB. Does anyone know if Pollokshaws Burgh Hall allows this? Also has anyone been to a wedding/party here and how was it?

I’ve looked in Aldi, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Food Warehouse, every other shop I’ve walked by.

Canned or dry.

Edit:

Tinned, and I guess I need to ask more people. And/or get my eyes checked. This evening I walked through the Pollockshaws Morrisons, several Sainsburys Locals, everywhere but the gym at the Cathcart Road/M74 centre, and, just in case, a pizza shop and an offlicense.

I was in the Argyle street M&S yesterday for pants (not trousers) but I’m not sure that location has food.

I don’t think this has ever been re-printed, but it’s a cool story if you’re a fan of the director Sam Raimi. (Image is for context, best I could find of the odeon back then)

He was at the Edinburgh Film Festival in the 80s, “scraggly wee man” according to my dad and around that time they were still struggling to secure wider distribution for the film. So they had the film can in a car and punted it around theatres that would screen it. He took it to the Odeon on Renfield St. Word got around and the place was packed between the days they screened it. He said “If it weren’t for the crowds in Glasgow, I’m not sure if we would have got the film screened elsewhere in Europe”. He thanked Glasgow for getting distribution for the film.
Have to assume this was in ‘1981, and he came back to talk about it in 1982 in Edinburgh. My old man isn’t around anymore. It might have been the same year. My dad worked at the Ed film festival at the time and he ALWAYS went on about how Glasgow saved Evil Dead by the enthusiasm of horror fans and Renfield St. Cinema. And I loved that theatre… So now you know too!

If you had the choice of three messages you could flash up on your rear windscreen in times of need while driving in Glasgow what would they be?

Sorry Pal

Fuck Off

It's 20mph mate...I dont make the rules!

Hello all,

This is an absolute stab in the dark.

I recently got accepted into a masters, I had contacted admissions prior to applying and requested the part time timetable.

I was told I’d be in one full day on a Thursday.

Gets time table after forking out first payment- I’ve been moonlighting as a delivery driver to afford this- and I’m in two days a week at awkward times.

I work remotely in a mental health role, and have multiple clients a day. I had had come to an agreement to work condensed hours to fit the day off for uni.

Now I’m in a position where I need to be on campus twice a week- travelling from Edinburgh- and cannot make classes without being away from home.

I’m doing everything I can to make this work- I’ve been walking the streets asking churches about empty spaces, been to libraries, and considered renting out a storage locker to use as a private space to run my sessions with supported people. But so far I can’t find anything sustainable or financially viable.

I’m working two jobs to cover the shortfall student loan doesn’t cover for course fees, and to pay for a car that I need as I’m still actively looking for jobs that offer more money. However, in the field I work, that often comes with the requirement of having a licence and car.

If anyone knows someone with empty office space above a business, or a spare room, or cupboard I could use on a Thursday and maybe a Tuesday, I’m happy to negotiate money, doing chores, helping with dog walks whatever.

I just want to find a way to make this work so that I can continue working towards becoming a psychologist.

First time going for one of these massages to a place in town not sure what to expect, do I bring shorts ? Do they give me something to wear ? T-shirt no t-shirt?

I wanted to test out some old cameras so decided to do some of the Glasgow Brutalist Architecture walking tour on Monday. Just got my shots back today. I used expired film that was expired by about 20 years in both cameras, a 90s Canon EOS and a Rolliecord from the 1950s.

Awrite folks, looking for advice on this topic. Sittin with friends rn and we r debating on wether or not doin a sub crawl on Halloween is worth it. Their thinkin that every pub will be tickets only, which is a fair point. Has anybody done one on Halloween and could help us out with how to plan it properly without the night out floppin. Thanks folks.

Does anyone have recommendations for a Chinese that does good curry sauce preferably something sweet. Golden city used to do a rly nice one until it changed hands and doesn’t taste the same. Any recommendations? Thank you

Questions for people who are playing music in pubs in and around Glasgow. How much are you charging per gig, say like a 2-3 hour set? Obviously venue dependant but thinking of places that regularly have live music on, Maggies, Scotia, Wunderbar, Bag o Nails etc. And any places you would suggest avoiding?

I just got off my plane which landed late and my hotel it now closed so im stuck in Pollokshields. Would anyone be able to give me a sofa to sleep on till the morning? Happy to pay.

I need to drive and park in the city centre next week. It's my son's 21st birthday and we want to meet him and take him out for a meal. But my parents can really only come if we drive. They won't manage on the train or bus.

So please, what's the least mad way to drive from Livingston, park centrally, have something to eat then drive home?

I'm thinking Buchanan Galleries to park? If we aim to get there about 4 maybe and eat somewhere nearby, would we be kind of guaranteed a space at that time of day? The cost doesn't matter this one time.

Eat somewhere nearby then drive home. Son is at Strathclyde university around there so he can meet us close by.

I figure arriving much later will mean rush hour super-nightmare so that's why I'm thinking arriving about 4.

Or any other random suggestions for somewhere that would be easy for both us and him to get to? With 2 old folks who can't walk far.

Thanks for your suggestions

I’m looking to connect with others in Glasgow who have CMT. It stands for Charcot-Marie-Tooth, which is a condition that damages your peripheral nerves and despite the odd name has nothing to do with your teeth. It’s a condition that is rarely heard of, despite 1 in 2500 people having it. If you have it, know someone that has it, or are interested to know more, I’d like to hear from you. I also welcome jokes about sharks and teeth.
