The Hidden Glasgow Forums

The last i saw the Ken Manners guitar shaped signs, they appeared in a window of a pub in Govan in the late 90s/early 00s, after his stint at the Star Bar. They were there for quite a while.

"Polmadie, Polmada life goes on..la la la la life goes on"

EDIT...doh..BTJustice beat me too it, and here was me thinking i was a wag.

Ahh the memories!

I used to deviate from family walks just to walk over that small bridge as a child.

Thanks for that.

Oh and while i am at it, their cheese'n'bacon beefburgers are the business.

Technically outside Glasgow of course, but the lamb burger in the Osprey, Newton Mearns is the best i have ever tasted, and i'm a right fat bastard.

Thanks for the links and pics.

From what i recall it must have flying quite low considering the detail i remember.

Cheers.

If anyone has photos of this i would love to see them just so i can prove to people that i didn't dream it.

The recent tv interest in 1970's telly chef Fanny Craddock got me thinking. When i was growing up it was widely believed that it was STV's Bill Tennant who made the immortal gaff "i hope all your doughnuts turn out like fanny's" at the end of a Craddock doughnut-making item on his show. De...

"I would boycott the Daily Record before ANY newspaper.....crap rag that it is!"

I agree. And i do! It stinks.

Being a big newbie, i missed this thread when it was active. Could anyone give me details on how to find Laurel's mother's resting place. As a big L&H fan , i'd be curious to visit it.

Anyone also remeber Record Fayre? I believe the one is still open just up from Terry's Tattoos. There was also one in Stockwell Street and I'm sure there was one in Argyll Market. :D yeah, Record Fayre was originally in Argyll market, then expanded into the shops. Had a good stock of 'special itali...

Thanks Paul.

And, Scareyman, we are working on opening a forum once the site gets it established enough. I am sure it wouldbe appropriate to comment here in the meantime tho.

In an attempt to 'update it' the clash-of-belief ideas in the original seem to have been replaced by a load of old rubbish about killer bees! This in a time when many would say that clash-of-beliefs is more relevent than it was in 1973. Anyways, my various mumblings on the subject of the original, i...
