It's hard to hold back a tear looking at how much of what we should have held so dear has become what we've lost.

Are you putting on a Winston Churchill voice when your writing this stuff?

I was rather going for the Tom Fleming effect

I think its probably one of those comments you wish you could edit to "That was a good video"? ::):

Not at all. I've never suffered from emotional constipation.

Dave that was really great
I really liked the choices some sad some looking better (Rotunda and that old picture hall??) some not changed and some gone forever - great choice of music as well.
Watching it really makes you think that you walk down the same streets with the ghosts of the past. The children having their pictures taken years and years before and I have now only realised that Paisleys in Jamaica Str has been demolished!!!

Thanks Birdie.

Pushing the Glasgow boundry a bit but as the trams and trolly busses made it here I think we can count it as eligible for this forum.

wasnt that where there was a gas explosion in the early seventies? i think it happened in flats above shops or something

[BTJustice]

Yes, the row of shops collapsed after a gas build up in the basement. Im pretty sure this year is the 40th anniversary. Thing is, the row of shops was re-built exactly as it was before the blast which always struck me as weird.
