When i first got married, i lived in 1082 gallowgate ( two different houses). My granny was born 359 gallowgate (next to sydney st) and was brought up in 636 gallowgate (next to wee johnnies barbers) My other granny lived in 505 gallowgate (just past bellgrove st, where mccutcheon's chemist was)and my granda stayed in 805 gallowgate (the patterson building). It's all changed now, but the keelies site won't let us forget the way it was. That's where I stay Do you have any old photos of it holywell37

Charlie, you've went a bit daft on the old copying and pasting this morning Would it not be better to post the links and add your comments It might also be easier to read it in it's original form

I am sure I posted this story on the Glesga Pals board several years ago and for those of you who don't remember it here is the original posting ... www.telegraph.co.uk/htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/1999/03/14/nhoke14.html...check out the date of the original writing in The Telegraph ... only goes to prove that I don't print shoite unlike others on other boards. Investigative journalism don't get me started... ;D So was it you that stirred up this rubbish Charlie I'm now terrified of going to the bad fire for doing the hokey kokey all these years

Fantastic photies ;D I went to loads of parties in the Bon Accord and went to Tiffany's (usually when I got knocked back from the Savoy ) and The Alhambra. Although like Daisy I'm a bit younger than Charlie, Tam and clansman, I was an early starter (14/15 ) so may even have been going to these places at the same time Loved the fashions

Never knew it as Greens Playhouse but spent many happy times at concerts in the Apollo. My first ever concert was Elton John in 1973 and the last was Culture Club in 1984(?) between them I saw many different bands from glam rock to punk rock and even the film "Slade in Flames" there Also used to go to the "dancing" which I think was called Satellite City when I was going through a "poser" period Think I'll go and listen to some 70s music now !!

Had a few in there over the years, it was a midden, don't know if it's any good now Never been in there, looks as if it still is a bit of a midden but appearances can be deceptive and it might be a great wee place ;D

Ach ya wee fearty Pitbull we used to walk all the way through from Brigton Cross to Whitby Street to avoid the 'Ben Hur' at Nicol Mair's Dairy...I remember one Christmas morning kicking my brand new T Ball over the air vent wall at the Coal Ree on the London Road and having to go down the entry to the tunnel in Whitby Street to retrieve it. Rats the size of cats I am telling ye... i used tae walk alang the tap of that wall at london road there must of been a 30ft drop around that sandstone wall, my maw went mental because she caught me trying tae dreep it, so bet ye couldnt dae that charlie i was the best dreeper in brigton there was a wee guy john at queenmary st school fell climbing a drainy get his ball back, dae ye remember him, it stunted his growth. i used tae walk alang the tap of that wall at london road there must of been a 30ft drop around that sandstone wall, my maw went mental because she caught trying tae dreep it, so bet ye couldnt dae that charlie i was the best dreeper in brigton Ach I bet ye never scaled the auld floodlights at Celtic Park singing the Sash... I did. ;D flood lights naw charlie wisnae dangerous enough fur us we,d scale the pylons at kinner road behind london road houses efter we played on the big slag heaps over the railway sidings, we,s walk all the way fae baltic st . is it kinnear road that street called , the polis hud tae get us doon, we wondered whit aw the fuss was aboot, and as for climbing and singing the sash , me and my wee sister scaled a building in kilmarnock at a home we were in, as a protest because i wasnae wearing short troosers and a toffy uniform tae school, i was singing the sash at the top of my voice, and the kilmarnock polis and fire brigade wondered whit the hell hit them with these wee glesga weans. ;D feart nahhhhh daft ayyyyyyyyyye. and when you sang the sash at parkheid up the floodlights ye forgot tae mention there was another 50,000 rangers fans supporting ye on the ground ;D Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya' .
