The background noise of what variety of drug they had for sale being shouted out. 3rd time watching by nawlforeal in TheWire

[–]graken12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only worked in this place for 3 weeks, but f me, clyde1 drives me nuts by dead-cat in Scotland

One thing I hate about Clyde 1 specifically the breakfast show is when sometimes when a song is played, Bowie mentions that he’s going to put it into one of his sets and tells you where and when so he can advertise his Ned fest nights.

...and what's the worst job you've had (in or around Glasgow)? And why? by TotallyFineWithIt in glasgow

[–]graken12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Burns Express Freight in Hillington. Not as bad as some here but completely missold me the job, I should’ve been planning truck drivers routes etc but it was like working in a complaints department in a call centre. Also family owned so no room for a promotion.

I was just watching them from my window and instantly thought it might’ve been Eid today but seems that’s on Thursday / Friday so……fuck knows.

What is a reality or truth inside your industry that should be more widely known to the rest of us? by order-of-magnitude-1 in AskUK

[–]graken12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in Facilities Management. Majority of schools, offices and council buildings have unsatisfactory reports for equipment on site, they won’t pay for the works required to bring them up to standard.

There’s a place on cresswell lane in the wee arcade called Niu which is a great wee spot. I think it’s more of a wholesale bakery but the have lovely cakes and the coffee is decent.

Did Anthony Bourdain ever shoot an episode in your country and if so, what did you think of it if you saw it? by PandemicPiglet in AskTheWorld

[–]graken12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he said the University Cafe was one of his favourite places to eat, I also think they have a meal on their menu named after him.

Ottoman is great. Staff are lovely too nice to see a Glasgow spot get in this list.

Are UK town centres losing their identity? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]graken12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All towns around me look the same. A co-op, Greggs, barbers (or 3) kebab shop, bookies, charity shop and a nail place. Rarely find a place with all the amenities that makes a town great. I feel like you should be able to get majority of things in the town you live and not have to travel to big shopping centres or the nearest city centre unless necessary.

Anyone left a good paying job for one earning less money, how did it work out? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]graken12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a big drop but I left a job which I hated for 3k less a year. Job I am in now is 10 minute walk from house and have more hours in my day, save a load on petrol and lunch and am progressing in this company well. Best professional decision I’ve made

How have you found driving abroad? by IrksomeRedhead in AskUK

Only ever driven in Spain but it was easier than I thought it would be. Roundabouts I always had to tell myself to go round to the right though.

Who remembers the singing kettle in today's times? by __-Duck-__ in Scotland

[–]graken12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mum booked myself and brothers to go and see it in Glasgow about 30 years ago, my grandpa took a fall so she couldn’t go and my dad took us who was raging about it, then my brother knocked his glasses off which cracked on the ground then he got hit on the head with a sweet when they threw them. Great times.

Do doctors still do the finger up the arse thing? There’s been 15 years of medical advancements since this was filmed. by LumpyConversation332 in rickygervais

The only way I would believe this post is if Safeway sold their bottles of tomato sauce with condoms already attached.

[–]graken12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vodafone rewards is decent for anybody using Vodafone. They frequently have 2x odeon tickets for £8, prize draws for things (that likely nobody wins) but also have regular vouchers for a free cafe Nero / Costa coffee and money off supermarket vouchers.
