You didn't come across (I could have phrased that better) Linda Fabiani (Fibby Annie) in the Bluebell Woods did you? She's forever banging on about her youthful exploits there.


Nope, I have no recollection of said lying bitch .. er .. politician Ony. I did go to computer group in Secondary school with the victim in the Beast of Bluebell murder tragedy, Alison Murray. She was the year above me in school and a right clever lassie she was too .. although obviously not clever enough to get on her toes when she caught her murderous brother bumming his mate in the crocus patch.
I like him ... He says "Okie Dokie!"

The Gay Scene is centred around the Triangle however the area has been known as the Triangle since it was laid out at the end of the nineteenth century.

Renfrew from 1983 - 1986, then Kilmarnock until now.

My parents were both from Glasgow - my dad from Ruchazie and my mother from Simshill. I work in the southside now, Gorbals, Govanhill, Pollokshields, Toryglen, Shawlands, hence my presence on this board...

Wow, you're a real rolling stone, lordsleek. :)

Me? a real stick in the mud. Born in the tenement below (Top floor, 198 Main St, Cambuslang) in 1935 and lived in Cambuslang until emigrating to OZ in 1966 but worked at Parkhead, Finnieston, Anderston, Renfrew, 2 years Nat Service, East Kilbride and Rutherglen. Returning home this month for the first time in 43 years.
