I know the answer to this one actually .. it comes from an ancient custom from old Romania. The mirror was turned to the wall to prevent it from capturing the soul of the departed and thus allowing it to return after dark and reoccupy the body of the deceased. The body was seen as a corrupt vessel ...
Part of me would like to brave the neds and what appears to be wild jungle terrors (that early post about "furries" gave me the heebiejeebies) let loose after Calderpark shut - but I think mys response would just be "grown man crying, walking about ruins possibly having parents phone ...
I grew up in East Kilbride, but was born in RottenRow. My mum's family were in Barmulloch and I frequented the Rye Road flat there, regularly, from the late seventies through to 1987 when my papa died. My dad was a black hack driver who then landed a job with Centre One tax office. He hailed from Cr...
'Carla's Song' was brilliant - 'Ae Fond Kiss', a story about an inter-racial, Asian/White relationship was really very badly acted apart from a superb turn from the late Gerard Kelly as an itinerant priest.
The Libertines had a chip-fight in Queen Street station Burger King in 2003 which was ended by the manager threatening Barat and Doherty with a " baw-booting". The drugged-up stars coyly trooped out.
I'm a Star Wars fan and was pretty angered by this old but rather pompous thread on the star wars fan site: http://boards.theforce.net/scotland/b10203/28506675/p1/?8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; After reading it through it hit me that I suppose there are a lot of chancers mixed in ...
Does anyone recall - and, even better, does anyone have any existing examples - of small cartons of Scottish Pride flavoured milk (banana, chocolate and strawberry) from the 1970s-1980s that had horror/monster pictures on the back of them? They would have 'Nessie', 'Death Bogles', 'Kelpies', 'Robert...
In no particular order: Graham Linehan in Mono Gerard Butler in Amber Regent then Cineworld Most recent - Bernard Ponsonby in Slaters - "Shellsuit" Bob in The Maltman - Jim Davidson in Cineworld ( I am no fan of the man or his politics but he was laughing and joking with the staff and cust...
Lewis's Christmas windows were phenomenal - the store itself kept me in He-Man and Star Wars toys throughout the eighties and my Granny in hazlett and salmon for most of her life. Glorious shop - though Goldbergs' toy buyer bought from America meaning they had (this may mean nothing to the less sad ...
Love this - thanks for posting all of you! I wastaken here after receiving a Chewbacca figure - bought for me, after a long quest by my dad, from The Jolly Giant on Crow Road. Magic memories... now who remembers 'Sylvester's cartoon-themed restaurant?
Gordon Matheson to be precise. A man utterly unfeeling for the nostalgia for various areas of Glasgow and the destroyer of Paddy's Market: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Matheson
He is Glasgow's new council leader and is to be reviled.
His personal politics and statements are rife with hypocrisies and he has a chequered history when it comes to autograph hunters - but I don't know anyone he hasn't made laug hat some point in his career. I think he's no actor so should stay away from that, but he deserved his Freedom of the City - ...
