Ah, great point - I hadn’t considered that but it would make a lot of senseProbably to avoid google searches leading to this thread. What happened to her husband’s dodgy business? Rebrand would do them both good lol
and all the behind the scenes staff. Complete twat. Was quite surprised he moved back to Glasgow, he is very unpopular.Imagine having a business and having to limit your posts, let's hope the message gets spread loud and clear about these arseholes, done the dirty on the shop he had in princes sq also.
Dropped out of art school and peaked in 2003 when it was considered acceptable to look like a poor mans Ronnie RadkeFunny how he hasn’t mentioned it on one of his daily sermons he gives about how “rad” his life and business is. This is why they all come across so fake. Nothing is truly honest and upfront. And also how many times does he need to mention he dropped out of art school? Aye mate, we get it.
“Portacabin”God he’s such a twat isn’t he?! Why is everything based on his opinion when it’s down to the thoughts of many opinions to make the ratings?!
I would only give a 5 star review if I was super impressed. 4 stars is ample, most people would happily check somewhere with a 3, or 4 star average rating.
I’d not go anywhere after seeing that ridiculous twat have that rant whilst he sits in his stupid portacabin preeching away when he’s had more businesses than underwear changes
The bar has been shut for most of lockdown. I totally forgot he was training as a barber and a tattoo artist lol! Jack of all trades, master of none! Remember their Gnarly Pizza takeaway business?Thanks for making this thread! I've always been really suspicious of all these Scottish influencers, especially Richard. At first I thought they all seemed cool as fuck fell out of love with them shortly after. I mentioned on the Betty thread that I had an old coworker who knew her and wasn't fond of her but I also know someone who (kind of) knows Rich who just told me he was a prick when he saw me wearing a Not Everything Sucks t shirt.
He always seems to have a new idea, be super into it and then it just kinda dies. The pink shop in Dundee, Hard Grind collabs, being a literal barber(or am I making that up), wall art commissions, tattoo apprenticeship, pop up shops where the pink shop was, his bar......the list goes on. Oh actually is their bar still going?
I thought it was odd they opened an AS shop in Dundee and not Glasgow. I'm not regularly in Dundee but it's not really got the same traffic as Glasgow does for his branding. But it would make sense considering they pissed off the whole of Glasgow due to their mismanagement.
As a couple they always seem obsessed with the next thing and next bandwagon.
I'd love to know the Hard Grind drama. When I was last in Dundee (2019), I wanted to visit the cafe as it looked amazing on insta and it was shut randomly. I remember AS when they had their wee pink shop would sometimes not open (Insta polls - "should we open today or nah" constantly) so I'm assuming it was probably a similar thing.
So weird, I just speed read this thread yesterday and then saw this. A comment on his IG announcement did make me lol though…Seen hubby has stepped down from AS effective immediately. Any tea on what’s gone on there?
Mortified at all the people in the background in the abandon ship bar crossing the picket lineSeems like these fools have support… from absolute scabs nonetheless.
absolute gobshitesSomeone on twitter was called classist for calling out people for crossing the picket line because people “couldn’t afford to lose their £25 deposit”
The brassneck of sitting with some overpriced cocktail across a picket line![]()
people love to pretend mosspark is in the hipster bit of the southsideLmao they made out like it was a big gothy house in Dennistoun/South side![]()
There needs to be a Rich/Abandon Ship thread because this was dry as fuck like her personality before this all kicked offWell, so pleased I stumbled across this - out of curiosity, does Rich have his own thread on here?
I’ve followed him fairly recently thinking he looked cool and had heard of his clothing brand from back in the day, but my my my how quickly his Instagram stories descended into absolute dribble. Constantly on the pass-agg with everything he posts, boasting about being drunk/drinking all the time, oh and did he drop out of art school? I don’t recall him mentioning that….
I don’t know much about her, but to put up with his nonsense you must be just as bad
My friend ordered from their the other day! She literally got two Linda McCartney sausages in a fancy wrapped burger bun!The Abandon Ship food place is now on Uber eats and is reediculously overpriced for what and where it is. The more established and amazing places in Glasgow are cheaper, so it’s a bold move, considering there’s no sit in at the moment/takeaway only , its a pandemic and they have just opened up , its defo a no to an £11 burger for me mate
So much for which ever one them said they're considerate neighbours then....Some gossip for you all. Girl at work lives on the next street and their neighbours are furious about the monster shed. She’s lived there for ten years so knows a few of their neighbours really well. Apparently one of their dogs barks constantly when it’s in the garden too. There goes the neighbourhood!
Interestingly HPK is making out on her new interiors insta that their diy projects (bar etc) are all being done by them, but they’re not. They might be deciding the paint colours but they’re not doing any of the graft. There’s been joiners in doing all the work.
She has shingles. Apparently. Which is kinda...gross.

People may have different opinions on this but I think she overreacted? It would be different if someone asked "why don't you have kids" or "when you gonna have kids" or "are you trying for kids" etc but asking if someone WANTS kids (and the poster even said to adopt - so being inclusive) is not and should not be taboo. I am all for inclusive and sensitive language around these things, but asking about kids isn't too bad imo. We can't shy away from absolutely normal conversations because some people might have had a sad experience but we can be mindful in how we ask.
She’s not relevant...why she made an interiors page to try and stay relevant and that failed miserablyDidn't mean to cause offence with shingles!!! I've had them before and was on antivirals for what seemed like ages. The side effects were horrible. I was fatigued for so long afterwards. She is so passive ag, how she stays relevant is beyond me.
