The Hidden Glasgow Forums

See me, I would get rid of Bernie Ecclestone. The guy’s just a brainless weasel who exerts far too much power and influence not always for the better of the sport.

An excellent set of unusual and interesting photos. The spiral stairs are just great.

Has anyone tried drinking Concord wine? Asked for a ‘nice bottle of red wine’ in a wee Glasgow corner shop. Had the bird (now wife) coming around and wanted to impress. She was shocked when I produced my Concord!! Someone later told me it was a favourite tipple of jakkies!!

I’m convinced Pedigree Chum and Campbell’s Meat Balls are exactly the same product except with different labels!! Both are 80p a tin, 4% fat and look like shit.

My pension is well and truly stuffed. A few months into the credit crunch, it had lost 7 grand. I am too frightened to look at it now. So much for planning ahead for your retirement!!

I also have problems with VM email. Bought a new computer few weeks back and I had no problem setting up the broadband. But re-setting up my email accounts was just a complete nightmare. Although I have set up my own, I cannot set up the email accounts for the rest of my family using Microsoft Outlo...

Had good fortune to win seat at 2008 F1 at Silverstone. Was in a seat opposite pit lane and on start/finish straight. A prime seat to say the least!! Start of race was fantastic. Thereafter it was a procession of cars hammering down this straight which was really good to watch. Lewis Hamilton won th...

Certainly looks good. I am not convinced the pews and other interior woodwork should be painted with gloss paint. A pity the wood was not restored to its original form as shown in the third of HollowHorn’s first set of pictures. But nonetheless good job.

Toomse,
these are great pictures. Couple of Qs:
Where did you get access?
What building are you under? Some of the brickwork looks fairly modern, so at a guess it's not under the Royal College!!

I would think any well known brand camcorder would be fine. Whatever you do, check out whether there is a discount available. Try: http://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/home Hope this link works. I bought a microwave oven. Comet online had it discounted with an online voucher code. Salesman in shop gave i...

I was out for a meal in Glasgow. Went for a pee, Paul McStay came in and had a pee two urinals away. I also stood beside Davie Dodds of Rangers in a pub in Shawlands. I think he was a coach at the time. Andy Cameron crossed right in front of my car at a pedestrian crossing again in Shawlands.

Saw many brilliant bands at the Apollo in the 70s and 80s. One memorable concert was Steve Hillage. Got free tickets if I remember. Not a great concert as I had never heard any of his music beforehand. However, it was the first and only quadraphonic concert I have ever attended. There were the usual...

I'm sure the Georgic Pub in Shawlands never had a female toilet until about 10 years ago??

Highest life expectancy for any country in the world is Japan I believe. They eat loads of raw fish, rice and vegetables. Man, they just don’t have a clue!! Thank God I live in Glasgow.

Does anyone remember "The Magic Bus". I travelled with them London - Athens in the late 1970s. It took three days. I really enjoyed the outward journey travelling across a Europe through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Coming home was awful. I was skint and had a carrier bag of food to last three d...
