Ya Bezzer! Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Glasgowcentric but I spend way too much time thinking about that big pizza sculpture that had the maniac facial expression and that wielded a large knife in quite an aggressive manner in the window of Dino's on Sauchiehall Street. It seem to represent the 1990's Glasgow zeitgeist in quite a disturbing way. The Begbie of pizzas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Assuming this isn't limited to jingles: Walking past the back of a courthouse in Nottingham and hearing squeals of utter anguish coming from one of those G4S vans. Some guy screaming "it wasn't me, please, it wasn't me, this is my life you're taking. I didn't do it, Please! Muuuuummmmm!!!!", followed by the sound of a fight within and yelps of pain. "No, Noooooo! Somebody help me, help me pleeaaaseee, pleeeaaaasssseeeee, [high pitched squeals of pain accompanying the sound of something (or someone) battering against the side of the van]" Still haunting. ETA: That and the vision of a small child learning to ski at Cairngorm going under a barrier and down into a pothole through the snow, followed by a mother shouting "my baby!". Can't imagine it ended well. I was quite young at the time. Happy Wednesday everybody. Edited September 18 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a new one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnderooMFC Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 When I was in first year of highschool, my timetable for one part of the year on a Friday was ; PE, Science, English, Art, Music, Maths. I have learned and forgotten way more important things in the 24yrs since, but that order has somehow not been overwritten. I'm also pretty confident I remember all 18 stops on a specific service*, but since I did get that train 5+ times a week for three years I understand how it gained permanence. And there's no real way of proving it on an online forum without accusations of googling it. [*although they've added a new station at some point in the last 10 yrs? WTF Breich??] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't get the reference. Dougie Donnelly would be gutted. Remember this well, also. Seemed to get played every 25 mins on Clyde 1 radio. Similar happened to me last week when a guy I was talking to said, "Of course we can pay in dollars. If we wanted to we could in bloody Chinese..." and fumbled for the currency. I shouted "Remnimbi!". He actually got a fright. Thanks Linda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
