The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Heading towards my 40th I have been reflecting by searching online for stories that I've a small memory of. One of them was a horrible tragedy that befell a young girl very near to where my Grandparents and subsequently my parents lived, in Springboig when I was only six. I only found one mention of...

The argument about good or bad areas in rendered irrelevant as street or district can change very easily. I rented a beautiful flat in Dundrennan Road in Battlefield with my cousin for a couple of years. Apart from the idiot opposite me who thought it appropriate for him and his similar dick extensi...

It would be a perfect bunch of flats for someone. You'll have to fumigate the place about 200 times to get the "junkie" away from it though. It didn't seem to take two hundred fumigation sweeps to renovate the Great Eastern or any other place that I can think of. I detest the casual use o...

Wow; that is fascinating. Thanks again Dexter

An advert that I would love to see; yet seems to produce one mention in a Google search, is the Skol Lager advert from the eighties which features a song with the lyrics: I'm a Skoller and he's a Skoller we're Sholler's through and through When you know your drink and now your brew you can be a Skol...

This could easily be posted under a thread entitled 'most 1980's moment ever'. Some music styles are looked down upon but my argument for this inclusion is that no matter the genre; if it evokes, inspires or emotes a positive feeling then it deserves its place here. So with that said this is my cand...

I've seen the following video a few times on old music shows but only bothered to check who they were a few months ago: The blonde lead singer is Toni Willé who continues to perform and release some amazing music. The following is a concert from Fuji some three years ago. Her rendition of KT Olsin's...

One of the greatest adverts ever; albeit I had forgotten all about it. Catchy music; snappy images showing increasingly expensive equipment and crashes - a perfect combination for a kid. Thirty odd years on and this still makes me want the set shown. Taking interest into consideration the sets would...

Toni Wille from the Band Pussycat circa 1975 (blonde in centre)



And from 2013



She is still stunningly beautiful.

Tobester, in the wee toolbar on your screen above where you type your post, click on the youtube= button. That will paste the relevant code in for you. Copy the URL of the youtube vid you want to use, and paste it after the "=" sign in the code, e.g. for this video http://www.youtube.com/...

Sorry. Ignore please (still can't understand how to embed a video despite Sharon making it clear elsewhere and the thousands of similar instructions online).

A lantern extinguished,
So a Nation mourns?
Nay; this world weeps,
Through benighted rights and representation,
Farewell to an Iron Lady,
Our steel willed Palladin

George Galloway seems to have been the first public figure to say or post a comment guaranteed to cause faux outrage with a quick 'Tramp the dirt down' tweet.

At least this ensures; or at least I hope it ensures, public political debate.

I was there for a few hours on Saturday for what was another fantastic show. They seem to have received positive press coverage from the BBC, Herald, Scotsman and Times. That's great to see as the people behind the show put an incredible amount of effort to bring the best quality artists, vendors an...
