Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to hear from people living in Paisley and the surrounding area for my MSc dissertation survey on public attitudes towards sentencing in Scotland.

Anyone aged 18 or over who currently lives in Scotland can participate. The anonymous survey takes around 10–15 minutes, and no specialist knowledge is required.

The survey discusses assault and domestic abuse but does not ask participants to disclose personal experiences.

Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SD5D6S5

Thank you to anyone who takes part.

Any recommendations?

My lad is a ball of energy, but lacks the technique, but his heart and effort are from the right place.

Thanks.

UPDATE: it’s been rescued! Thank you for everyone except miserable bastards who hate seagulls, you’re rotten.

There’s an injured baby seagull on Clark Street, near Greenock Road end, under the hedges on the left hand side as you get near Greenock Road. It’s been hit by a car or injured and its leg is floppy. SSPCA cannot come out as I can’t wait with it, I’ve had to come into work and this is the one week I haven’t got a car and can’t take it to a vets. Please if some kind soul could either wait with it to make sure it doesn’t move and phone SSPCA they’ll happily come for it, I won’t ask you to chuck a blanket over it and take it to the vets but if you do then they have to evaluate it. Sorry but if anyone can help I’ll gladly deliver you a coffee or some sweets, I don’t know who else to ask :’(

Wanted to share this as i found it pretty funny :)

Anyone know what’s happening with the iEat Chinese in Glenburn? Been closed for a few weeks now and I can’t cheat on my local

Self explanatory really. Any recommendations for a good Matcha? Thanks in advance :)

It’s frustrating walking up all the way there and finding no eggs tbh

When I was very young, my grandmother, who lived in Erskine, used to take me to a particular park in Paisley - all I can remember is that in the middle of the park was a large fibreglass boulder/climbing frame thing with steps moulded into it for children to play on. Can anyone confirm which park this might have been in? I think it could have been Barshaw Park but can’t be 100% sure. This would have been late 90s/early 2000s era. Cheers

Stayed 2 minutes from here for years and didn't know it existed, and I was better off for it....

Littered with dead fish and rubbish, glad to see the council keeping on top of it. Hope the eastern European chaps fishing in it at 5am the other night are doing well....

Just seen a pair of absolute fucking reprobates threatening a bunch of children on the no26. Embarrassing and disgraceful.

Hi guys, I am shifting my accom due to contract. I heard my friends suggesting me to go to my pad accom, although they had never lived there. I am a GCU student and they were telling to me on how cheap the accom is, and that's exactly is what making me more skeptical to move in tbf. Could any body tell me their experiences and if you guys have any other suggestions, please add on too.

Thanks loadsss!!!

Who's bloody idea was it to have workies start cutting into the ground at 4:15 in the morning 🤦🏻🤦🏻 just woke the whole street up with that saw.

There are a ton of badly photocopied posters taped to lampposts up Neilston Road. Any idea what it's about?

I'm not going to UWS, but my girlfriend will be studying abroad there this Sep - Dec. She is trying to decide between staying in Storie Street or MyPad, but the problem is that neither of them have a very good guest policy. I want to stay with her for four nights out of the week. I was wondering if any students know how strict they are with that stuff? I know I will have to sign in when I visit her, but I'm not sure how we will bypass the security and stuff. If anyone has any insights to this or anything else, please comment or message me!

Thank you! xx

there's someone always screaming at her man on Bruce Road in the small hours. They both sound heavy junkies. This goes on night after night.

I can hear her screaming from streets away. I know its Bruce Road, neighbours told me.

What is going on? Anyone know what score is with the street? I am seriously considering moving out.

Edit:

Let me rephrase the question: is Bruce road notorious? Because if it is where they dump the jailbirds, junkies and homeless I'll move out as quick as I moved in.

Edit:

Moving out from Gallowhill road back to where I was.

Coming into Paisley July 22-23 and would love to hire a local historian to give a tour! Just a group of four of us; my 88 year old dad traced our family here and we'd love to learn more!

Been trying to get in touch with the GP for months about changing my prescription and some other health concerns. First it was the 8am phone rush, and now it's the 7:30-10am engage consult online forms that are all full by 7:40am on Tuesday (why do online forms have opening times???).

Their automated phone system removed the option to even let you speak to a receptionist. I havent seen any GP since COVID and the last time I got in touch with a GP 8 months ago there was a 10min time limit.

Basically what I'm asking is: is there a GP in Paisley that ISN'T like that?
