Yeah still some dodgy areas in Glasgow, anywhere surrounding Ibrox or Park head is a bit sketchy. Stil got to love the place though some great bars and clubs like Sub Club and the Arches
Aye man, two of my mates stay right near Parkhead, in a decent newish area that's been built. I wouldn't go anywhere further from their pad than the takeaway or booze shop without getting a taxi though.
It's funny because they seem to have become known as the total crackhead's that live in the street. It's like a wee cul-de-sac type thing with car parking in the middle, all fairly decent cars, nice looking houses & normal looking people living in them. Then there's their pad, foot high grass in the front garden, the two of them jaking about all the time.
They're both actually cooshty normal cunts but one of them is just a walking disaster. He'll have been seen by his neighbours the day he had a fight with his own house & then the taxi that brought him there. He was getting a drink with me during the day in some pub after being out all night, he got a taxi home but had no money (or keys) expecting his flatmate to be in to give him money.
When he got home there was no answer so he banged the downstairs window to the point where he smashed the first pane of glass. He gave up & went back to the taxi to try & explain, he'd left his iPhone as collateral though so he reached in the front window to grab it off the seat. Taxi driver rolled the window up, catching his hand in it, then proceeded to drive round & round the parked cars in the middle of the street with my mate stuck in the window running along beside it. Taxi guy eventually phoned the cops, who came & basically told him to fuck off before they did him for assault %).
Now whenever a kid's ball ends up in their garden it stays there. They've became the cunts who the wee kids parents must have told them all to stay the fuck away from "Don't go near that house, bad boys live there."
tl:dr? - My mates live near Parkhead & one of them is a dafty.
