D.A.F.C Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I remember getting my first pocket money (50p) and thinking the big bottles of juice were 10p. Naw son, that’s the return value. Devastated. Made up for this though in the local post office there was a nice wee wifie who would serve the people waiting for pensions etc and just shout just leave the money on the counter boys. 10p mix up, lol more like a pounds worth. f**k the police! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Anyone remember the old Volvo's back in the 80s with the front grill that would make a whistling noise as it drove past? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Dave used to cry at the melancholic end of every episode - I think it's 'cause it seemed like he was dying, and all his friends would stop existing. Brutal. I bought a DVD for the wean to watch a long time ago, but I couldn't even put it on. He's as soft as his old man, so it's probably just as well. On the subject of "Dave is a massive pussy", I remember being hysterical about an episode of Scooby Doo, because there was some kind of monster that just wanted to be friends with everyone, but when our heroes caught sight of it, they'd run for their lives, and the poor monster was quite upset about the whole thing. Sorry, I'll save this stuff for my psychiatrist. The TV in Willo the Eisp, voiced by P&B regular, Kenneth Williams terrified me as a young kid. It was evil! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of those in sky blue. It was already about 300 years old by the time I bought it for 100 quid. The thing spat out smoke the same colour as the bodywork and was fucked in general but it still got me around London where I lived at the time plus towed a caravan to and from Stratford upon Avon for the Phoenix festival. It was probably single-handedly responsible for climate change. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might save you half an hour with the shrink that you can use for helping with any weird fetishes instead mate.

coprolite Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 On 27/01/2020 at 10:45, th1stleandr0se said: The difference between West and East. Glasgow - "Bottle of ginger, please". "What flavour?" "Orange". Edinburgh - "Bottle of lemonade, please". "What flavour?" "Orange". Where was the ginger/lemonade line? It wasn't the same as the salt'n'sauce/salt'n'vinegar line because when I were a lad in Linlithgow we were aligned to Edinburgh in juice terms but Glasgow in condiment terms. In Linlithgow, we had at least two lemonade producers in the town, never mind having Barrs in Falkirk. It was the ale mannie in Portlethen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zidane's child Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The white robot guy who used to dance outside Marks & Spencer in Argyle Street in Glasgow. I’ll hazard a guess and say around 1994-1996. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The cheery boy that would sit in Dunfermline High Street with his keyboard blasting out the demo tune at full blast as his mittened hands bashed the keyboard like Ralph from The Muppets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
