/r/glasgow
Welcome to the Glasgow subreddit. For everything Glasgow and the West.
WHAT'S RELEVANT
Radio Clyde phone-in rules apply. The sub covers anything that's relevant to Glasgow and the West of Scotland - so if it's a G, PA, ML, KA or FK postcode area it's in. We've got a few topics that aren't allowed. Check below.
REGULAR REPOSTS
There's a useful and growing resource at the Glasgow Wiki (thanks to users sevenof9k and LordAnubis).
Please check it out for ideas for your weekend in Glasgow, what area you might want to live in and lots of other things.
Please also use the search function, almost every question you can think of has been asked before. If it's been asked recently your repost will be removed.
NEWS SPAM
There are lots of sources for local news, search for the Glasgow Times, Daily Record, or even Glasgow Live if that's what you're looking for. Feel free to share any interesting or high profile news stories but we don't need a new thread every time there's a story about Glasgow's pot-holes.
NO ADVERTISING
Please do not post submissions on this subreddit for selling/buying items. Go to /r/GlasgowMarket for that. Be sure to subscribe, if you want to see those posts on your feed.
No advertising for relationships/friends either sorry, feel free to use The Steamie if you're looking for friends
JOBS
This also now applies to jobs as well. We now have /r/GlasgowJobs as another dedicated sister subreddit. Free to post your jobs on there and if you're looking for one, get subscribed!
FOOTBALL
We are embarking on a new era where Football posts are now allowed, indeed celebrated. Don't take the piss.
PHOTOS, MEMES, ETC
The sub is not your personal photo blog. Unless you've taken a photo the likes of which nobody has ever seen before, share it on your Instagram.
NEW TO GLASGOW?
Below we have collated some useful links for your convenience. Please check if what you need is in there first, before posting any questions. Also, use search. If you've got a generic question about the city it's almost certainly been asked before.

Looking for the best scheme that has the best Chinese takeaway?
Have glasgow airport gotten new scanners yet? The airport I'm flying from has new scanners that allow you to keep liquids and electronics in your bag, so you can just throw everything onto a tray and run through security, just curious if glasgow has upgraded yet for my flight back.
Two tickets this evening for It's A Wonderful Life at the Grosvenor Cinema at 5:50pm.

Hi,
I haven't joined the M8 from the Woodlands exit since before the months long works they done. I'll be driving it on Xmas day.
Has anyone driven it yet and is it any different than it used to be - traffic light and lane wise? Or is it just the same as before?
Thanks
Hey all,
I’ve (28M) just finished my master’s and I’m an international student here in Glasgow. I’ve been looking for a part-time job for a while now – applied to places like McDonald’s, Starbucks, and a few others, but it feels like everyone who’s getting callbacks has a reference.
If anyone has any tips or could give me a referral, that would be super helpful! I’m open to anything – store assistant, barista, or whatever really.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
Edit: as it was pointed out. I’m looking for a referral.
Looking for the best place for a sit down korma. Ideally veggie options. Any recommendations?

Great gig at the Hydro tonight. Surprise (not on Setlist) cover of Mull of Kintyre with the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and the supports, including Hamish Hawk. Brilliant show and good value for a £35 ticket.
I saw some talk criticising the management/operations of one of the Glasgow homeless charities in here recently, and generally there's often talk about how too much money given to big charities is wasted/ too much goes to CEOs and that.
What (preferably local) charities do you have a high opinion of?
I've pledged to give a portion of my business income to charity (monthly thing), and generally it's the season of giving so I'd love to see some shout-outs and recommendations for good causes you'd like to get some attention. Cheers
Does anyone have any recommendations for pubs that do live music on a Sunday afternoon/evening? Ideally around the West End/central but any recs appreciated!
He waited on the platform on the ground and hopped in. Then it hopped out at the next stop. I love him and want to flat share with him next year.
Any idea why I’m hearing fireworks in Drumchapel ? Been going on for 10 mins.
Has anyone noticed an influx of the Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints mafia all over town? They seem to be everywhere.. with their wee name tags..
Also, as a weird observation, is there a designed sexualisation of the Mormon chuggers? They all seem to either look like Temu backstreet boys or attractive young woman.. seems a bit of a strange thing for what is meant to be a church and I’m not sure it’s by chance… they’re all over central station and Buchanan street…
Anyone know of any Chinese takeaways open in the Southside on Christmas Day? Being lazy this year.
Hi there. This is a long shot, but can anyone confirm whether the airport bus is running from Buchanan Bus Station tomorrow, 22nd Dec. or not. I can't see it on any of the usual apps, or in Google maps, although the festive timetable doesn't start till next week according to their website. I've tried messaging on X and Instagram, big haven't had a reply yet. Phone services to check only work M-F. Is it likely to really not be running, or is it a glitch? Thanks in advance 🙂
I started an online company a few years back selling stuff on Amazon that I get from wholesalers from my flat, but I'm really running out of space (and my gf hates the mess lol)
I am wondering if there is a 'space' could be office, studio etc where I can prep orders from.
The catch is I need it to be able to accept (quite large quantity) deliveries for me and provide electricity for printing shipping labels, which has been the sticking point so far!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Where can I buy as I need to urgently make a delicious Bramble?
Looking for some recs on good beginner hot pot places? Preferably in the West End or City Centre. Did have a look for previous posts but they are a little dated
Spare ticket for the silencers tonight if anyone is looking for one (@SWG3 edited to add)
Hi, folks! I'm travelling to Glasgow for the NYE, flying back on 1st January (evening). I assume that First Airport Express doesn't have a service that day. How else would it be better to get to the airport from the city center by public transport? Thanks a lot!
Hello, I'm planning on moving to Glasgow if possible for my studies, I am doing research about tuition fees and cost of living, can anyone give me first hand experience or advice on these? How hard is it for international students to get settled here and start paying for tuitions
They seem to have a large collection. It would be a waste to have them just for show, but anytime I've walked past noone seems to be reading or seemingly buying any books.
Hope this is alright, I need advice. I'm making fudge for Xmas gifts (shout out to the cost of living crisus😂) and have been having trouble funding marshmallow cream/fluff. Anyone have an where I could find some? Thanks
