The Naitch Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Where were the shops on the four corners of Renfield and Argyle Street(Glasgow) in the early 1970s? I take it you mean the junction of Union Street/Argyle street where the KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds are? Not sure what used to be there before those three but the 4th corner used to be Burton. Think there's some sort of noodle bar there now. Edited January 8, 2013 by The Naitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall Bootses corner was a popular meeting point in the town. Got stood up by a lassie from Clydebank there many years ago Bitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Was one of them not Boots? You might be right there. Been trying to look for pictures of that corner from the time but can't get anything that shows the other corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Boots was certainly one, and as Willie posted, it was a sort of meeting place for the young folk. Not that I remember it obviously, but I mind my Dad telling me years back for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Phoenix Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Why is my pee the colour of cold tea (without milk) You been eating liquorice or lots of food with artificial colouring or on medication? That's the good answer. The bad one is you've got problems related to your kidney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_BCFC Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bit of a long shot as only the poster who posted the following will remember and I don't know if he'll read this but - Who is it that when The Big Bang Theory comes on raises their fist in the air at 'we built the pyramids' and 'bang' and shouts these particular lines? Whoever you are - you're a dick cause I can't stop doing it myself now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Anyone know of any Bargain Books type shops in Glasgow other than 'The Works'. Looking for somewhere to pick up a cheap but fairly recent quiz book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Anyone know of any Bargain Books type shops in Glasgow other than 'The Works'. Looking for somewhere to pick up a cheap but fairly recent quiz book. As of Saturday, the Cancer Research shop in Aberdeen will have a whole bunch of quiz and trivia books. They just don't know about it yet as the arrivial of my magical box of good-quality shite is imminent.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Why is my pee the colour of cold tea (without milk) I asked my doctor the exact same question once and she told me to check if it tastes like cold tea. Might be worth a try? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is undertaking illegal or just frowned upon? I was driving on the M8 a while ago and there was an old woman (typical) driving in the right hand lane at at 40/50 mph ffs! Anyway people from the left lame were obviously going past her and most from the right hand lane were going into the left hand lane, going past then back into the right hand lane, so could these people be pulled over? Obviously it's a fairly ridiculous situation you wouldn't see often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 In that situation I described would the police allow it? Maybe pull over the old woman? She'd probably suit a twin set better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 In that situation I described would the police allow it? Maybe pull over the old woman? It's technically illegal, but I have a hunch that in that situation they'd be more likely to deal with an old woman being in the overtaking lane at 40mph. I'm assuming this was an open motorway with no restrictions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
