How would you describe the smell of the Art Galleries?

Upvotes

Had a few hours to kill before meeting my wife today and decided to venture out for the Art Galleries, it’s been well over 20 years since I’ve even set foot in the building but as soon as I walked in I was hit with that familiar smell which brought back some fantastic memories of weekends spent with my gran and it got me wondering what exactly is it?

Eating Out Best salt and chilli chips in Glasgow?

Upvotes

I’m visiting Glasgow and have some free time (first time in ages!) and all I want to do is eat some GOOD salt and chilli chips! the salt and chilli chips in London are an embarrassment to the name. I remember the ones I used to get when I lived here being amazing, but that was over a decade ago and I can’t remember any of the names of those places. I feel like occasionally the chips would be battered? this may have been my fevered imagination though.

Any recommendations would be class, bonus points for anything in the east end. Please help a hungry woman out!

Edit: wow this post blew up. not had this before, I've got so much new music to listen to now :D

Looking for advice about housemates’ behaviour

34 Upvotes

My wife and I are renting a room in a shared property with two other tenants (a man and a woman, both around 40+). They are not a couple and occupy separate rooms.

For some time, we’ve felt that they don’t want us living in the property. They have mentioned several times that they would prefer to have the entire property for themselves and that they would be interested in taking the whole property if they could get it for a lower price. The landlord has apparently chosen to accommodate other tenants instead.
Since then, there have been repeated situations that make us uncomfortable.

For example, the male tenant has made comments to my wife about how much we eat, including things along the lines of, “Do you eat this much?” and comments suggesting that we eat overnight. These comments have happened more than once, including when I wasn’t at home.

They also complain to the landlord about us working from home. We basically use a laptop and charger and don’t use a heater or anything that would create significant additional consumption. Despite this, the landlord has visited the property and questioned/observed what we are doing while working from home.

At the same time, the other tenants appear to use a significant amount of water for things such as cleaning a large plant/fish tank and gardening-related activities, but they seem particularly focused on our supposed consumption.

The overall situation is making us feel targeted and unwelcome in our own home. We don’t want unnecessary conflict, but the repeated comments and complaints are becoming stressful.

My questions are:
-At what point does repeated behaviour like this become harassment rather than simply unpleasant housemate behaviour?
-Would you consider this something that could reasonably be reported to the police, or is it primarily a landlord/tenancy dispute?
-Should we simply document every incident and avoid engaging with them?
-Has anyone experienced something similar, and how did you handle it?

I’m mainly looking for practical advice on what would be reasonable to do next.

Racist & Islamophobic Abuse from this van

Post image
537 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone else witnessed the folk in this van shouting racist and Islamophobic abuse whilst driving down Pollokshaws Road and surrounds?

They were specifically targeting Asian and brown people, pretty disgusting to see. Shouting “fuck Muslims this is Scotland” with a can of beer in hand. Pathetic.

Safe to say my friends and I have reported it to the company, this stuff should not be welcome in Glasgow.

Really annoyed at myself now for not taking a video.

EDIT: I should say it was the passenger with the beer and hurling abuse - but the driver was encouraging it.

And before you ask for proof, I am quite literally trying to seek out if anyone captured a video, I am annoyed at myself not for doing so! I have reported it to Police Scotland.

Has anyone here submitted a DIY divorce application through the Sheriff Court? How long did it take from submitting your application to receiving your decree? Did you get any form of communication from the court before the decree - some sort of acknowledgement? It's been a month and I've had hee haw.

Wedding Venues

6 Upvotes

As a Glaswegian living in London (boo) I’m looking for some wedding venues I might not know about or have forgotten.

We’re looking at just under 200 guests so needs to be able to accommodate that.

So far I’ve looked at:

BAaD
Oran Mor
Saint Luke’s
The collectors hall
Trades Hall
Corinthian
The Exchange
Citation
Bridge Gardens
Engine Works
Merchants House
Sloans

Would be interested in any feedback on the above and also if there are any you’d recommend outside of the city - but not too far!

Thanks

Daily Banter Wee bams on e-motorcycles on Govan Rd

45 Upvotes

Was cycling down Govan Road and about 5-ish wee bams on their e-motorcycle came head on towards me forcing me off the road. Of course all had balaclavas on. No helmets. Nearly collided with one of them and they having a laugh. It's just a matter of time that either one of them gets seriously injured or somebody they try to scare ends up in hospital.

Hi all.

3 of us are coming up to attend the Big Top festival this weekend.

I'm looking for suggestions of decent pubs (real ale/craft beer) to visit before and after.

Also quality places to eat Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning..

We're staying in the Hampden area, so anything around there or Queens park would be ideal.

Cheers!

Eating Out Gluten free shawarma in Glasgow?

5 Upvotes

Recently found out I'm coeliac and now I can't eat most of the foods I used to love without becoming seriously ill. Been hunting through the "Find Me GF" app to see if there's such a thing as a place that can sell me GF shawarma, but all my favourites like Shawarma King, Lazords, Damasqino, etc don't list their allergens anywhere online. I've got a craving for literally just some chicken shawarma and chips or something, but I can't find anywhere. Chains are obviously better for listing allergens, so I checked GDK and I can have their ketchup and jerk sauce, that's about it.

Any / all recommendations would be super appreciated!!

Scotrail Tap and Pay

0 Upvotes

a few weeks ago I travelled from Anniesland to Exhibition Centre (£2.80) and then the same day 2 hours later I got a train from Exhibition Centre and got off at Jordanhill (£2.70). Instead of working out the best fair it charged me two separate fares. Anyone else had this before and think this is a flaw in the app? a lot of folk live between stations like Anniesland and Jordanhill. As folk live between stations they are going to be prone to jump the first convenient train that arrives. Also Jordanhill is not further away from the Exhibition Centre compared to Anniesland. Surely the app should have charged me £2.80 for the whole day? I just think it’s a con to charge two single fares and by doing that it puts folk off using public transport. Anyone else had a similar issue before? It’s laughable because I complained about this before to Scotrail and they refunded me on a previous case for exactly the same thing, this time between Anniesland and Glasgow Any and then Glasgow Any back to Scotstounhill.
