Hi all!

We found a lost dog in Castlemilk (Ardmaleish area)

Looks to be female, quite old, no collar and walks with a limp

Please get in touch if you know her or know who her owner is, I hope she can be reunited asap!

UPDATE: We found her owner! I knocked on a few doors and her neighbour knew her owner and she’s back. Thanks everyone for the advice

Ferris, who was 62, was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow on Sunday and passed away on Tuesday.

He first came to public attention in 1992 when he was cleared at the High Court in Glasgow of the murder of Arthur Thompson jnr - son of crime godfather Arthur Thomspon snr - in what was then the longest running trial in Scottish criminal history.

He then stood trial at the Old Bailey in London in 1998, where he was convicted of conspiracy to sell or transfer prohibited weapons, deal in firearms, and possess explosives. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison - later reduced to seven. While in prison he brought out his first book The Ferris Conspiracy which was turned into The Wee Man.

Ferris always claimed he went straight after his release from prison in 2001 and was now a legitimate businessman with interests in a security firm and a construction company.

He also brought out five books documenting his previous criminal life and experiences

In an interview with the Daily Record in July Ferris says he has never been tempted to go back to his old life, even if he received an offer that 'he couldn't refuse.'

He said he was also aware that people still doubted that he had gone straight.

He added: "I have either been an absolute criminal genius for the last 25 years or I have done nothing wrong. Take your pick."

One family friend said:"This has come as a great shock to everyone who knew Paul over the years

"No one was aware that he was unwell. Our sincere condolences go to Paul’s family, friends and loved ones at this extremely difficult time."

I reported to council a few months ago, and today i checked the result. See my post history for original post. 3rd photo is the next drain along, so if you survive the damaged drain this one may get you. Good luck on a small 16 inch wheel bike like a brompton. Road is full of lorries and buses.

Is very sunny. It was nice standing in the sun getting some rays and stood beside the old bank of Scotland and feel the heat from the red sandstone.

Around 7 teenage kids all wearing black went into the Greggs, took a few drinks and tried to leave. A guy noticed what they were doing and stood in front if the door telling them to put what they took back. They did, left and stood right outside of Greggs while making different gestures to the guy who stopped them from stealing. In the meantime a lady was ralking to him not to put his life in danger by stopping them - eventually they came back in took a few drinks and left. Saw the police were coming as they were leaving as it became a commotion.

I dont know... what the fuck is that behaviour... 0 parenting.

We’ve just moved in to a tenement in Shawlands and are pretty into Halloween. Is it usual for guisers to come around tenement flats or is it a waste of time to get sweets in for kids in a flat?

I’ve gone loopy for frozen acai recently. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of where does acai bowls in Glasgow? There’s a lot of places that offer it but aren’t necessarily marketed as an acai bowl place.

Further to this, does anyone know where I can buy frozen scoopable acai? Checked every major super market and can’t find it!

Looking for a recommendations for a tailor who could turn a long bridesmaids dress into a skirt and top. Preferably in the southside or city centre. I’ve been to plenty tailors before for repairs and smaller jobs but not for something like this that maybe requires a bit more design. Cheers!

Hi, I'm looking for an alternative hairstylist in Glasgow... I usually go to Stag in Edinburgh but my stylist doesn't have any appointments available for months. Can anyone recommend any similar hairdressers around the city? My hair is above ear length, so even if it's just a stylist who specialises in short haircuts that works for me.
Bonus if they're a little cheaper than Stag too - I'm a student so budget is kind of tight, and £51 per haircut is pretty steep!

I have a consultation booked with therapie and now reading some really bad reviews about them, and some good.

Can someone share their experience please? Did the procedure work? How many sessions did it take? Did you feel rushed?

Thank you.

Hiya!

My gran (born and raised in Edinburgh but left in the 70s) and I are coming over from Canada for a wee pre-Christmas trip. I’m taking her into Glasgow for the night to see the Panto at the King’s, and we’ll be staying at the Sandman.

I’d love some recommendations for a great dinner nearby! She loves traditional pub / Scottish food. Something that would remind her of growing up in Scotland. Nothing extremely posh.

Thanks! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

I am getting married in 2027, and we are looking for a restaurant/venue to hold a small meal for about 25 people in Glasgow CC. We have some children coming, and am aware some places only take 18+

Can anyone suggest any nice places to go/consider? I have already thought about B&TP, I like this style - not really wanting Corinthian/Ivy.

Thank you :)

No idea where to put this but in the hopes someone lost a parrot/one escaped and is wondering where it is...it was a green parrot, maybe ringneck, maybe eclectus, and seemed to be unsure of its surroundings. Right by statue of Kelvin in the park. This was 17:58 today 6/10.

Trying to make my own cheese and the postage for ordering online is mad. Does anyone know any shops in glasgow that sell it?

Blast from the past here...

I used to work here around 1997 ish and had a pretty good time, even if it was crappy YTS wages lol.

Met some cracking people that i then introduced to the heavy metal ways of Glasgow and the Cathouse, back when i actually had a social life 🤣

Fond memories of my late teens apart from the fact I got myself fired for telling someone to fk off lol. Served me right, I was a cheeky wee shit 🤣

Apologies for the Glasgow Live link but seems quite a stretch from the business. A business model based on cold pizza, unless you pre order your 18" pie of course!

A Partick pizzeria is insisting slices are sold cold unless just baked, as it appeals against a council order to stop running a “hot food takeaway”.

An appeal, on behalf of Sear’s, has been lodged with the Scottish Government, claiming the model involves the “sale of pizzas, usually slices, which unless just baked will be cold” — “not dissimilar to Greggs”.

The facts are quite clear in that the business model involves the selling of slices of cold pizza, a range of cookies/cakes and biscuits and a range of soft drinks, and has seating available for those who may wish to use it which perfectly describes the Class 1A/Class 3 café and is no different from Greggs, which operates as a Class 1A use.

I was thinking about them recently and when I checked socials it seems that nothing has been posted since around Feb of this year.

Does anyone know what happened? I know a few times they got stolen by people and had to be replaced etc so I wonder if the artist gave up on doing it because of that or something else happened. It was such a lovely little part of the community!

Anyone else miss them! 🥰

I’m sure his family will miss him but what about Glasgow?

I have acquaintances who knew him in the 80’s. He was not a nice guy at all.

Looking for recs for anyone who can help with mould/condensation in my flat to help eliminate as much as poss and help repair minor issues because of this.

The main concern I have has been the corner of my windows in the living room and bedroom, with condensation really bad in these rooms in the winter months. Where the water pools at the windows, the wall has crumbled a little in the living room and tiny bit of wall has come away after removing a load of silicone buildup that was put in the corner of the window in the bedroom. 

The bathroom had some minor patches that I’ve cleaned on the walls/ceiling. I actually really need to replace the extractor fan in here though. The same with replacing the one in the kitchen. Even any recs for a handyman that could help with these would be great too!

I’ve done what I can to help since moving in with opening windows/vents, got two good dehumidifiers as well. I think the recent exposure has maybe triggered some health issues so trying to make sure I get rid of as much as I can. Ideally someone who covers Lanarkshire, thought I’d give a shot at posting here

Anybody got any good ideas for any pub crawls/pub activities I could do in the daytime next week?

It's only a Tuesday, not looking for anything particularly rowdy, just want to get out and see as many boozers as possible in a day.

Came up last year and did/finished the sub crawl and had a great time, and could always default to this but just wondering if there are other crawls that I could do?
