Nice.   Bought my 2nd ever LP  at the Sauchiehall St branch  around 1971.  'Electric Music for the Mind and Body' by Country Joe and the Fish.

Richard Branson's Virgin Records was down on Argyll St.   Bit of a sh*thole , as I recall.   Lighting very low, couch in the corner, vague smell of weed. Hardly any records, and what was on show, I'd never heard of.   I think this was Branson's VAT fraud period.

'Bruce' went on to manage the band Simple Minds.

My arsenal consisted of a Daisy BB rifle that looked like a Winchester....

We didn't go about terrorising folk and pets with our air rifles/pistols. We just tried to shoot star wars figures. I was a damn bad shot.

In the student halls at Aberdeen there were no fridges so you just put your milk and butter outside on the window sill and the North East temperature acted as a fridge. Only thing was the scorries would attack your butter. I solved this by putting a pot over my butter but my mate, enraged at his butter getting repeatedly attacked, bought a Gat and took a pot shot at a scorrie. The pellet skidded off the scorrie from a range of 20 feet, the scorrie not even noticing. Tough b*****ds they things.

Garbage Pail Kids. Bed was covered in these as a wee boy.

Have the full Australian Series 1 (the Garbage Gang) un a collector's wallet.

I still love these, they were one of my favourite childhood collections
