Respectively :

He did, I'll get back to you (it's on vinyl and I'd seriously doubt it'll be getting reissued on iTunes any time soon, so I'll have to dig it out), they were, and "West of Scotland".

I'd prefer Uruguay, given that I tipped them beforehand. Costa Rica are, according to an article I read last week, and little beknownst to me previously, a nation who beat their swords into ploughshares years ago and abolished the army, spending the money on education and health instead. As a (who'd...

I am old enough to recall The Bungalow as a venue. When I was at Sounds I came back from London to interview a band called The Dream Boys whose lead singer was Peter Capaldi - yes, THAT Peter Capaldi. I knew he had the ambition to make it big in some sphere when he later turned up at my flat in Pri...

An ITV reporter asked Roy Hodgson how far England were from a good team ? He said about 4 hotels D'ye know, I actually quite fancied England to do quite well. And wouldn't have minded if they did, to be honest. They generally have a squad of talented, quite likeable young blokes these days, as oppo...

Whats Happened to Judith Ralston? Shes went from Big tits to thin hips. Not that I have the slightest notion who the young lady in question is, but I believe that those two physical characteristics are not mutually incompatible. aye but her big knockers have got smaller Nice arse as well. But i als...

.. and just to get it off my chest. :-) In the category of 'bands whose recordings never quite matched their live performances' : ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Beat. Their first album was alright - people of a Certain Age will remember 'Stand Down Margaret', but it was an anaemic production i...

I envy that, they called it a day as I was approaching concert going age, I was out of the country for the reformation show, they are the one that got away! The Scars were a serial support band. In the period when they were active, I used to go to 2 or 3 gigs a week at a minimum, and couldn't have ...

Round about a dozen times, since you ask.

There's a Blue Lagoon franchise there, then?

bought a portion of chips at lunchtime from the blue lagoon in gordon st.i should have asked what is the soggiest thing on the menu? Blue Lagoon's have to be the worst chippies going, think they fry everything in diesel oil too :( That has its very own thread on here somewhere. Personally, I think ...

Was that the sci-fi shop on the ground floor on the left as you went in? It was a bookshop on the right as you went in. It sold a lot of those early 1900's sci-fi pulp mags like Amazing Stories . That'll be a 'yes' then (allowing for my poor sense of orientation). I bought vast quantities of pulp n...

Obelisk; run by Russell and Fred, with various hangers on! my memories of Russell Aitken were of a polite decent man, he was also an artist if I recall, I hope he is alive and well, where else could you get that obscure Moorcock from 1973? Was that the sci-fi shop on the ground floor on the left as...

It's hardly surprising - at least 5 years too late. I'd say its pretty clear now that Selfridges had no intention of building anything after the recession. [...] Sorry folks I'm in a cynical mood this afternoon! Not cynical enough RA, in my opinion. Hands up anyone who believed for a moment that Se...

Hi, I'm Chris, grew up in Airdrie, lived in Glasgow from 88-96, I live in Budapest now, found the site by accident! You joined four years ago! Here, whatever happened to that airline that used to do the cheap fares (50 quid or so) from Glasgow/Edinburgh to Budapest? I was there ten years ago or so,...
