With your particular non-local accent I wouldn't try to convince anyone you're a Rangers fan though. Just say, "I don't know much about football and I'm not really interested in it" and people will say, "Oh you must be a Partick Thistle fan then".

This ex-Dennistoun residentโs top tip for anyone moving to Glasgow is avoid living close to the route of an orange walk unless you like that kind of thing at 8am on a weekend.

Don't forget Glasgow's fourth team, Queen's Park, who have just had to vacate Hampden Park for a much tinier ground.
The church bells on a Sunday morning in Dennistoun were equally insistent and irritating when I lived on Roslea Drive.

A bus driver held the bus at a stop this afternoon for me until it calmed down enough for me to get off and run into a shop, there was an actual wall of water heading up the road towards the bus that his wipers wouldn't clear. It's fecking brutal out there

Reminder that Glasgow had an anthem for its american football team (with a rap) but because it's glasgow all the joy has a backdrop of grey bleakness and it's very special. pic.twitter.com/U5wHF6LS9S— Michael M (@michaelmphysics) February 18, 2020

I haven't been to East Kilbride shopping centre in a few years and I'm wondering what it's like now, because it felt to me like it's been a work in progress for at least 15 years, still busy but almost unrecognizable to what it was in the 90s when it was my cinema and main shopping destination when I was getting something exciting, and a lot of kids had birthday parties at the ice rink/food place.
Last few times I went there was something very odd about the place, not just the change but how that it looks like a place in terrible decline generally.
Thoughts, memories?

I live on the top floor of a tenement and whenever i tell older friends/relatives that they often say "ah, tap dancer?" tap dancer means top floor, has anyone else heard that? I always overthought it and thought tenement levels were called dancers, for some reason but It's surely more simple than that - that someone once made a tap-flaer / tap-dancer joke once and it gained traction in Glasgow. Probably vaudevile, maybe Francie and Josie or similar.
― current (jed_), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 23:49 (four years ago) link
I guess there's also the idea that a tap dancer could be one of the worst people to have living above you!

So, it looks like I will be trying Glasgow more, possibly a lot more.
If you've thought about this, then you've probably thought "this isn't happening". This: isn't happening. Or at least it doesn't look like it for a bunch of reasons - the plan at the moment is putting everything back a year and trying again.
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 29 March 2020 23:20 (four years ago) link

Yeah, we're okay, a little disappointed - Jen even had a job lined up (over in the other place) but they mailed her to say that they weren't going to be hiring her - it was "we want to offer you the job, we'll make it official by the end of the month" on the 5th of March, but obviously that's a decade ago by now.

Given how widely it was shared I guess most folk will already have read Tommy Ga-Ken Wan's account of his experience in George Square on Sunday, but I think it's worth sharing in case anyone did miss it. I like his writing and he's an amazing photographer, for anyone who doesn't already know him: https://www.instagram.com/tgkwan/
