The Hidden Glasgow Forums

This is so great, I can see my desk surface now! I can confidently say that, after having bought a new PC, I will never see my desk surface again. I have added to the general pile: More books about the Boer War, some of which might even be interesting to the passing layman; several hundred CD-Rs, a...

My brother-in-law is a medical photogrpaher, and took the official photographs of the last baby to be born there.....

A great film, almost as good as Gregory's Girl. My copy of the film is an old ex-rental video copy which for some reason appears to have been re-dubbed. Badly....

Kenny now runs Static in the Argyle Market BTW... Aye, I know. He was at school with our mutual acquantance Carter. And they were both about five years above me. Obelist moved to that wee line of shops behind the Trongate and just next to Paddy's Market. It was nowhere near as good and closed not l...

It was demolished sometime last year I think.

It was claimed that it was safer to demolish it. For safer read "cheaper".

Yeah, it was shut VERY suddenly because huge cracks appeared in the walls. I seem to recall the traders weren't allowed in for quite some time to get their stock because the whole building was structurally unsound. Then it lay empty for a good few years before it was demolished suddenly and without ...

Anyone got any pictures or stories from any era of the Virginia Galleries? I've got many fond memories of spending my Saturdays in there, buying second-hand sci-fi books from Obelist and then going to have a gab with Kenny in Whiplash Records. A great place to hang about and meet your mates. Now, of...

I really should have posted here first of all... Hi, name's Dave. Strictly speaking I'm Aberdonian but my parent's are from Glasgow and I've lived mostly in Lanarkshire. I love spending time in Glasgow just walking around, looking up at some of the wonderful buildings that people don't seem to spend...

It's an incredibly long story. It's a research project to catalgoue the Scots involvement in the War. I'm transcribing the Scottish regiments from it, I'm up to K so far and I've got over two thousand names. Now I need to find out all I can about them.... Maybe in about twenty years I might be finis...

A crap monitor, some floopy discs, A half-used blister pack of paracetamol, my dad's Royal Engineers cap badge, a set of headphones, the speakers for my pc, a drinks coaster, a drink, some post-it notes (twopacks), a bottle of tipp-ex, two tubs containing various pens pencils and scissors, a note bo...

My mate Dave has been in Taggart twice (once as a glorified extra, once with a speaking part). Hes also been in Complicity and Still Game.

Nowadays he does a lot of the fight arranging for Taggart and River City.

This story is true, comes from a reliable source. I just want to see some pics of it.

I have a friebnd who used to be a baker in either the Central Hotel at the station or what is now the Millenium Hotel at Queens Street station. He was telling me that only one of the hotels had a bakery, so there was a tunnel between the two so that the morning rolls could be taken from one to the o...

My mate was there filming the performance. There might be stuff about it on his website at some point:
