Welcome to the site

kirby123 · #9 26th June 2011, 23:40

Welcome! I'm a newbie and stay no too far from Glasgow too

Cynic I used to work at Pollokshaws Road for a wee whil, Southside was totally alien to me tho

kirby123 · #10 27th June 2011, 00:59

It was a wee office no far from Pollokshaws West station, not the most exciting place I've worked lol

I stay in Blantyre atm, tiny wee place that attracts loads of trouble!

I work in Blantyre,... no trouble at all, ....the high perimeter fence keeps us safe..

or is it the other way about ?

kirby123 · #12 27th June 2011, 12:19

Thanks Alcoyne :-) I'm looking for that Haggis you once knew. He stole my marbles and then rolled them down the hill. They went too fast though and i couldn't catch them again.

It's good to know there are people around me with some of the same issues and would be great to chat or even make friends. Thanks for your message :-) I

Absolutely, i'm in Glasgow but work outside it (Cambuslang) Apparently known for being the biggest village in Glasgow or is that clap trap lol. If it was, there's sure to be plenty of village idiots :-)

I just thought that there was North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire, although i'm non clued up. I'm not a born and bred Lanarkshire man myself. I just call this the county of GLASGOW if i need to fill in an address form :-)

Hi Cynic,

I live in Croftfoot. I know Scotstoun and Dumbarton road of course en route to Clydebank. Been along there many times, and of course Pollokshaws. How long have you been away?

Hi Aurora Sky,

Wow! That's pretty cool. I'm not far from Hampden Park. I'm just 5 minutes along the road in Croftfoot. I take it you'll of been enjoying the disruption of the Take That Concerts and Kings Of Leon within the last week! :-)

Hi Kirby in lovely Blantyre :-P,

Thought i'd say hi as we're both new on here. Well i'm new in the sense that i've not been on for years until within the last week. I was just in Blantyre last week playing Squash

kirby123 · #22 30th June 2011, 00:01

Well I'm happy u made it there n back safe and sound Hehe. Tbh I know there's far worse areas but I just like to joke bout it too much

I didn't know there was places to play squash, was it at the sports centre? I'd love to try out something different from just gym but I think squash would knacker me out within 5 mins

So previously you said Glasgow was not in Lanarkshire but now your saying Glasgow is split between North and South Lanarkshire?

HTH.

Your talking about Councils. I'm talking about geography. Geographical places don't simply disappear because of the creation new Council Wards.

Well Mr Kirby i'd challenge you to game of squash at the spoerts centre anytime. Don't worry if you're rubbish, i enjoy running around while giving them the runaround. Only joking. If you fancy something different and try your hand at something new then count me in. Just drop me a private message,

It peed from the heavens the whole time I was there, so if you saw a wild looking woman with hair all over the place and soaked from head to toe at about 11pm last wednesday, it was most probably me

Hi Aurora Sky,

I didn't see anyone around at that time looking like that. i'm quite nosey as well. often looking out of the window haha

Ilda · #28 30th June 2011, 21:34

Hi Ilda,

That's cool. Close to Aurora Sky near Hampden then. I'm in Croftfoot. There seems to be a little concentration of SA sufferers around these parts! Nice to meet you
