The Hidden Glasgow Forums

A daft question, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. Years ago when I went to primary school in Glasgow, the jotters you were given had these words emblazoned across the front. DANGER!! DANGER!! DANGER!! I vaguely remember some sort of list, either warning you of dangerous things to be avo...

http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/news/5041409.html Well they are god awful things.... ..and whilst not aesthetically everyone's cup of tea, offer security, provide a sense of community and feel like home to some others. This notion probably has more resonance with Glaswegians. Gorbals/Townhead 'cle...

Under the old registration plate system, M-reg was, I think, Aug 73-July 74. That car carrying the M-reg plate (Is that a Hillman Hunter or some such thing?) looks fairly newish, so not too long after that I think. Gary I think it was around about 1975 the GGPTE changed the colour of the buses from...

http://www.gangland.net/glasgow.htm has a little info Also http://www.btinternet.com/~sarsen/tongs/ WAS interesting but seems to be dead now. I did try a little jiggery pokery to see if it had been archived http://web.archive.org/web/20040611153515/http://www.btinternet.com/~sarsen/tongs/ but no lu...

Excellent stuff, very interesting indeed. Amazing what a wee question can unravel eh? Ok chief, I was having a wee discussion with a few mates up here the other night, and I was telling the story of you and Lee breaking into Ibrox one night. Can you maybe give me a good account of it, because they ...

And if the English MPs have their way, we can always vote to have Wembley demolished. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/h2cluster2/h2.cgi?thread=%3C1110722450-26339.28%40forum5.thdo.bbc.co.uk%3E&find=%3C1110722450-26339.28%40forum5.thdo.bbc.co.uk%3E&board=talkscottishfootball.celtic&sort=Te

Stumbled across this website, whilst doing my now and again google for all things Glasgow. Sorry if it has already been discussed.
It makes reference to maps, but damned if I can find any. Can you?

The previous mentioned website makes reference to one of these: http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/lucy/lucy09x.jpg known in BT engineering speak as a PCP (Primary Connection Point), or colloquially a 'cab', short for cabinet. I know that in pre-digital days, cables came in to these fro...

Ok, I'm new here ... what is a lucy box :| :oops: its the name of the gray vent boxes. Have a look at on side the next time. Fossil :) Googled Lucy Box, and after filtering out the entries referring to "juicy lucy's box", I found this. Not Glasgow related but, may be of interest to those like mysel...

Any helpful boffins still up and about? How do I get my own website and unique URL/Domain name? I am clueless, so sorry if I don't know the correct jargon (e.g is a URL the same as a domain name?????). Here is how I THINK it works , but I really need to know how it actually works. 1 You register you...

Sorting through some books today and stumbled upon this:

Maybe this record shop is not lost, but as a wee boy all those years ago (mid '70s), I used to spend my pocket money on a Saturday in a shop on (south side of) Alexandra parade, near the railway line that ran by Ally Park. Curious to know if anyone else remembers it? Is it still there? What was/is i...

Crucial is good memory, as is Kingston. The EBUYER VALUE RAM can be hit and miss - it works.. Or it doesn't. It's the cheapest memory I've ever seen though! :-D Currently I use TWINMOSS RAM in everything I build - it works really really well but it's not the cheapest. Chris... To EBUYER's credit th...

Unless you want to disappear up your own exhaust, stick with the info you have listed in "Is that all I need to know". I haven't had to buy memory for ages, and was looking for any size of PC100 SDRAM a while back. All I could get was PC133. As it was cheap, I decided to give it a try, worked fine ...

thanks Chris

appreciated

Number 1 went a bit over my head, but just tempts me even more to do a course in computing.
