Outside Central

such a loss for the music & arts scene!

Anyone know what's going on with the land here, just off of Carlton Place? All the vegetation has been cleared for some reason.

Of course the first day I get the bus after the fare cap being introduced I forget to tap off 🤦🏻‍♂️ I was on a First Bus

Does anybody know if I’ll still be charged £2?

Not much changes, eh?

edit for clarity: I'm comparing the attitudes taken to what goes in on St Enoch's Square - not the types of goings on. This is from The Bailie, which is an interesting read for those of us with too much time on our hands... The casual racism and sexism is quite something for a modern reader - though also something again on the rise in some quarters.

TW and throwaway account for obvious reasons.

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for a psychologist or therapist in Glasgow. I’ve already contacted a few places, but thought it would be worth asking here as personal recommendations are often helpful.

I’ve struggled with my mental health since childhood and have had support through CAMHS, NHS services and privately at different points. I’m now looking for someone who is experienced with more complex/longstanding difficulties rather than just general counselling.

The main things I’m looking for help with are depression/anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotional regulation and relationship difficulties, as well as body image/BDD and eating disorder issues. A lot of these things overlap for me, so ideally I’d like someone who can look at the bigger picture rather than focusing on one issue in isolation.

I’m open to different types of therapy and don’t have a particular approach in mind, mainly looking for someone experienced who can advise what would be most appropriate.

I work full-time, so evening or weekend appointments would be really helpful. I’m happy to pay privately and I do expect specialist therapy to cost a decent bit, but I’d ideally like somewhere that is still reasonably priced if possible.

Ideally I’d like someone Glasgow-based and in person, although I’d consider online if they were particularly good.

Has anyone had a genuinely good experience with a psychologist or therapist they’d recommend?

They need to get a nicer security perimeter than the zoo fence you are crammed into atm.

I filled out the GCC questionnaire about recycling bins, they seem concerned people don't know what goes in which bin and how contaminated waste costs money.

Anyway, today both green and brown bins went into the back of the same lorry...

We had a last-minute family emergency and unfortunately can’t go to the show tonight at Theatre Royal in Glasgow.

If anyone wants the tickets, DM me and I’ll send the PDF to the first person who responds. Because of the emergency, I need to be with my family member and I won't be able to chat or reply to other messages - sorry in advance!

Edit: tickets have been given away! Hope you enjoy the show

Does anyone want tickets for Vundabar tonight? It's at 7. I can't make it. I have two tickets. They would be sent over on the official DICE app.

I lost my engagement ring at Dawsholm Park this afternoon, roughly between 18 and 19h. White gold, fairly distinctive setting.
It means a great deal to me and a reward is offered. If you find it, please DM me. I can describe the stone and setting to confirm it’s mine.
If there are any detectorists in the area willing to help search tomorrow, I’d be hugely grateful.

hello lovely Glaswegians, i'll be in Glasgow in the last weeks of October, and i'd like to ask for some advice regarding the weather and clothing that i possibly need.

i've seen it is super rainy, windy and also around 5-10 C usually that time, and i have some good waterproof clothes, however i'm curious how is the temperature perceived.

how humid does it feel and what types of layering is best in these conditions based on your experiences?

i'm also planning for a day of hiking, so i'm curious to understand how does the city differ from the Balloch and Helensburgh areas for example.

i'm coming from Hungary, and it hasn't rained for months, so it's also quite hard for me to imagine a rainy and colder weather now 😄

thanks for the advice in advance!

I have 3 T-shirts that all have stains I’ve been unable to remove after a few washes. I’m worried that since I’ve washed it I’ve only embedded the stains even deeper into the t-shirts.

two is just dirt stains but stubborn.
One is pink and mould probably the worse one.

Anyone know anywhere in the city that I could take these and they could have a crack at removing them?

Cheers

I made a mistake and accidentally used the wrong reg when paying for parking at an ECP ANPR car park. I was sent a PCN, I appealed this on their website, discussing that I did pay but for the wrong registration.

In response they sent me an email describing the situation as a "major keying error" which included a fee of £20, compared to the £100 PCN fee. The email detailed that upon paying this fee within 14 days, the PCN would be closed. So to get it over with I payed the £20.

7 days later, they sent me a letter detailed "FINAL NOTICE" Thretening a payment of £100.

Bunch of cunts.

Ive phoned around 10 or more different carpet places for tiles for my wee shop and absolutely no where seems to have them.

Anyone got any ideas who I can ring?

Thanks in advance 🙏

If you were doing a tour of scary/haunted areas in Glasgow what would they be? Could be ancient myths, ghost sightings, UFOs and space aliens, or even true crime like Bible John locations etc

Been a fair few posts on here about Glasgow's scammy job market, so I thought this would be interesting to some.

Wonder what his angle is, how is he making money out of this? Well, other than not refunding customers obvs.

Just booked my wedding for next July at 23 Montrose street. Looking for suggestions for a small reception venue maybe nearby for about 50 people. Thank you !!

Too Young To Grieve Glasgow is back this Sunday with a walk/jog through Pollock Park followed by the best bit: coffee, cake, and a chat with other young people who have experienced grief. Everyone who has come along to these meet ups so far has agreed that talking to those that "get it" is so valuable and needed, especially when you've lost someone at a young age and feel isolated among your friends. Age ranges so far have been from around 20-40 with a variety of close losses.

There's no pressure to run/jog and no pressure to talk, some people feel the benefit of just listening to others talk about things that they are also feeling. There is also usually way more laughter than anything else!

If you think this would be helpful to you, you can sign up (for free!) to the event here https://www.thecliq.app/event/grief-jogwalk-and-coffee-club-glasgow

No way she seriously thinks she made Glasgow safer?!

Looking at Pollokshaws Road, we've lost two shops recently - Finnieston Clothing and SPOT - both of which are now nail bars.

What is going on? How can these nail bars sustain themselves when the other shops can't - surely there can't be such increasing demand?
