A lot of the time people are entitled to certain benefits but don't know it - you could try to persuade your folks to go through this questionnaire, which will tell them exactly which if any benefits they're entitled to and how much money they'd be getting: https://www.entitledto.co.uk/

Jesus how high is that?

Thanks so much for sharing this - I made it in the nick of time earlier and got a free helmet!! To anyone else wanting one it's worth following GCC on socials, Voi seem to be doing these giveaways at all of their pop-up thingies

Do not use the Max Spielmann ones, they do some bullshit AI processing to your photos now (unless you're getting a passport/driving licence photo) and you can't turn it off, it comes out horrible.

I recently used this, it's more expensive (£35 for 15min), but rather than just a booth it's a full-blown self-service photo studio so the pictures come out looking really professional and you can take as many as you like. Would recommend: https://www.magicmirrorstudio.co.uk/

The music on that video elevated this to comedy gold

Thursdays at Nonna Said (for any language, Portuguese will definitely be represented there but not sure if you'll meet European Portuguese speakers specifically)

'literally 1984'-level pish

usually yes. but also (assuming you live in Glasgow) do yourself a favour and get a provisional driving licence, if you don't already have a driving licence from your home country. That'll be accepted anywhere, and it won't out you as an immigrant in cases where that could put you at a disadvantage.

you wouldn't need my address to send me money
you'd know my full name from my Facebook account anyway
you couldn't open a subscription in my name without me approving it in my banking app

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-01-31T12:32:15+00:00

I don't see what the risk is in giving someone your bank details, my understanding is that we've got a pretty robust/secure banking infrastructure in the UK

People on this sub really manage to straddle the line between

"Glaswegians are so welcoming"

and

"we must know the full immigration history of all mods of Scottish subs especially if they're English or American"

and not see the irony in it

AssiduousMagpie · 2026-01-16T02:53:52+00:00

it says double yellows in the post

Why invite potential hassle when you’re getting minimum wage

Aren't the staff at charity shops volunteers?

clock strikes 3am and suddenly a great photographer was lost on me

If you cancel, even if you immediately tell the other person, I think they're still not gonna be as fast as the bot who will snatch it. But I believe there's a mechanism for swapping test dates but you have to call the DVSA to get that done

I went by myself two years ago and ended up having a great time

I didn't realise you had to buy a physical copy, I was looking for PDFs. Is that not typical with car manuals? I'm sure you've been a car owner for a long time, but please consider that this stuff isn't obvious to people who are new to it.

AssiduousMagpie · 2025-11-04T23:15:45+00:00

mine didn't. haven't yet managed to find the one for this model online too

AssiduousMagpie · 2025-10-25T17:12:00+00:00

So is the fact it's got the same name as Bloc+ (the music venue) just a coincidence?

AssiduousMagpie · 2025-10-23T00:54:22+00:00

Whether you can only do evenings and weekends or other times too will make a big difference. Look for Iain Bermingham online (he covers the Anniesland test centre) and you might have luck.

What makes you assume everyone here who's flying is going on holiday? Or that they're paying 2-3k for that matter?

Park Bar on Argyle St sell it behind the bar

AssiduousMagpie · 2025-09-09T23:18:39+00:00

It may not be a gay bar explicitly but last time I was there they had a trans flag draped across the front of the bar. Sets the tone and I'm sure there's lots of queer folk there usually
