Media junkie, journo /commentator, grammar freak but nice about it. Motorbikes, culture, publife and general observations. Needs a purpose. 🤔

@GlasgowCC can you explain why residents in Cowcaddens are going to have to endure a month of 24 hrs of roadworks? It was bad enough when they started at 8am but it's nearly one am and I've to be up at five and they're digging up the road. And this with zero notice to residents.

@onetakewoop So so sorry darling. Really wish I'd met him. May the angels look after him. Xx

@Peachyfruitcake @KewCogs @WilsonC75HT @waitrose Afraid you're wrong. You can't be stopped unless you're a known shoplifter before you step over the threshold of the store. I'm a trained security operative.

Back in 2024, a young mascot got so scared before the City game and couldn’t walk out with the players.

Jack Grealish spotted this, calmed the boy down and said that he’d walk out with him and make sure he’d be ok and they’d have fun

@JayneCellis So sad that during such a tough time, @AldiUK had to pile that pressure on him. Hope you are all coping as well as you can and may the angels look after Matthew's dear mum. 💔

@QueenMoub @JayneCellis 3/3
I told her that she needed to book her appointments during the work day and I would cover her (i was her line manager). When I got another written warning for that, I quit and told the company I wasn't working forthem they thought it was OK to do that.

The funeral was the next day and I have her that day off a week and told her to take as much time as she needed. After that, she was really quiet at work, and it turned out she needed counseling but couldn't afford private and NHS was during work hours.

@rightsaysrich @CraigHouston_ @carolroy52 I read that and thought the same!

@ObserverGlasgow @NetworkRailGLC @GreggsOfficial Personally I dislike people who try to force their religious beliefs down my throat. Plenty of other shops you can buy cruelly produced meat from. I actively look for non-halal products.

@bilapanenka @CartlandDavid My partner died during covid. At his funeral I sat next to my 20 year old stepson while everyone did the two metre rule. When I got challenged, I told them that they better get the police on standby as there was no way I was letting him sob on his own. Common sense won.

@FemaleScotlandV I worked in Bridgeton for about six months last year and just like Possil, where I worked before, I was warned of the dodgy people, the rough pubs and all the dodgy cars. I found both places nothing like that. Yes there's some bad people (both local and not) but that's life.
