Hi all,

I'm part Norwegian and live in Glasgow and I was wondering if there was a particular pub that Norwegians will go to to watch the world cup game against England on Saturday?

It would be great to watch it with other Norwegians even though most people here will be rooting for Norway anyway.

Thanks for the help!

(To clarify, I understand that most people will be supporting Norway, I'm just asking if there are Norwegians who have arranged to go to a specific pub)

She is Malaysian and tried it for the first time and her review was “I don’t hate it but somehow it makes me sad and angry at the same time, I think I get how it feels to be Scottish”.

I had to share this poetry.

Hi everyone, Hope this is ok.

I’m hoping someone might be able to give us some advice because we’re feeling a bit stuck.

Me and my partner are looking to move after being on the council housing waiting list for around 5 years. We’ve reached the point where we feel we need to look at other options, as our current home is no longer suitable for us.

The main thing stopping us from looking at private rentals is the upfront cost, especially the deposit. We are on a low income due to my partner being disabled and me being his carer, so we don’t have a large amount of money saved up for a deposit.

We are looking at mid-market rent and housing associations as well, but we don’t want to rule out other options if there are ways to make moving possible.

Does anyone know if there is any help available with rental deposits when you’re on a low income in Scotland? Or any advice on where we could look?

Please no judgement — we’re genuinely just trying to find a way forward and we’re feeling a bit stuck on what to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated ❤️

Thoughts and prayers with the victim.

I viewed a bbc news item where they “reported” on the councillors who resigned after voting for a rapist to keep his taxi drivers license. The true story is very different. They voted for a process that would allow the guilty man’s family to remain in operation under the taxi licence he used. The family bore no responsibility for their relatives disgusting crimes. Under the proposal there was guaranteed conditions attached meaning the rapist would NEVER taxi again.
Wonder why we are being tricked?

When I was a little girl and my dad would take me to visit elderly Scottish relatives they would always give me a sandwich bag with a few coins and sweets and maybe a little toy in it. Just wondering if this is a Scottish thing and if they have a particular name?
