Burton, Boots, Freeman HW and if you look at the top of the building on the other corner there's a 'BE.'..for beaverbrooks?. Cheers for posting this pic, Don't know how to do that.

http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/lofiversion/index.php/t7943-3500.html Posted earlier in the thread, Freeman Hardy Willis. Looks like the early 70's

To be fair, in response to Exiled AusJag originally question I think maybe Beaverbrooks is the answer as to what was there in the early 70's, there's perhaps a clue in the part "my wife digging out her engagement and our wedding ring receipts, we managed to identify and confirm the shops on all except the south west corner."

Proof that it was.... http://urbanglasgow.co.uk/archive/167-201-argyle-street__o_t__t_2916.html

Boots, Arnott Simpson, Freeman Hardy Willis?, Burton. http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/lofiversion/index.php/t7943-3500.html scroll 2/3rds down for Freeman...... Arnotts did orginally sit at the corner of Argyle St and Jamaica St as Arrnot Simpson but was destroyed by a fire. The whole block was re-built in the 60's as Arnotts but with Beaverbrooks at some point taking over the bottom corner.

A few hundered thousand quid for a state funeral might just be good value if it assures she's dead and buried.

Initially we plan on staying in Wollongong but will then move down to Melbourne. It's an excellent city. Apart from that 'hook turn'. Takes some getting used to. Nearly killed myself.

Are you suggesting my son has a mullet?

My wife is Australian, my son was born in Wollongong, I go to Oz every two years, we're moving permanently in 3 years. The weathers great but there's still too many bogans with mullets

In about 5 years when they all pop their clogs! Then you can look forward to the next generation of supergroups, you know, ABC, Human League, Kajagoogoo, Culture Club etc. Of course the Aussies will love that, mullets a go-go.

The second picture is my photo, 3 photos (badly) photoshopped together. It was the last game of the season v Forfar, season 1989? Final score was 4-1 or 4-0 to Thistle. Memory has failed me. Home now, checked the official PTFC history book, May 6th 1989, Thistle 4 Forfar 1. Last home game of the season.

oh for suck fake

There will be washing machines, fridge freezers and ovens etc on the pitch. We already have plumbing for the undersoil heating so should be easy to instal. Sounds like a great idea. Don't they do they do this in futsal?

Always popped into the Tun for a few pre bus pints when I used to go the Livi bus. Didn't know it had burned down.

One with a festive feel... King Dong merrily on thigh

I think that Association Football Rules need to be changed to the rules of Futsal and so do you.

Libby McArthur who plays Gina Rossi in the show was the lead singer of the excellent Glaswegian post-punk band, Sophisticated Boom Boom. They did a couple of Peel sessions back in the early 80's and then became His Latest Flame (who were rubbish). Here's a wee link to her at a talk on Post Punk in Glasgow along side Davy Henderson of the Fire Engines, Stephen Pastel and very famous Jags supporter, David Belcher. http://www.streetlevelphotoworks.org/programme/exhibitionsandprojects/harrypapadopoulos/talks-series.html For the record, I think River City is rubbish too.

I'm no Amy MacDonald fan but surely there are worse musicians/singers out there that deserve a thread than her? Cheryl Cole for one but even worse is Jessie J.

You could walk it from Musselburgh station but it's about a half hour walk and may be a bit confusing unless you know the area.

Unless you're getting a taxi from Musselburgh station the nearest to station to the race course is Wallyford and it's still a bit of a treck from there. Buses 26 and 44 go really close and you can get them from the city centre.

Completely passed me by. Hardly watched t.v. for a week. I avoid newspapers anyway and didn't read anything on the tinternet about it either. Work was great today, the roads were empty

I agree to be honest, my wife is from Wollongong so I have to say that. We will be moving to Oz permanently in a 2 or 3 years and will move to 'the gong' first and then prolly down to Melbourne.

Wollongong beats Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

Don't you mean horse?

"Private Eye recently reported on the financial fall out from the collapse of Woolworths in late 2008, highlighting a major conflict of interest. The Eye claim that when Woolies got into trouble, their chief executive Steve Johnson hatched a plan to prevent administration by selling the stores to a “turnaround specialist” company, Hilco. This plan was rejected by Woolworth’s banks’ advisor, Deloitte and the banks duly put Woolies into administration. The administrators who got the job of grinding Woolworths into the dirt? That would be Deloitte. The recent publication of the Woolworths administration report shows that the banks were repaid everything they were owed in full and Deloitte’s three partners and their staff got £9.3 million for their hard work. Even poor Hilco got a piece of the tragic action, pocketing £8.44 million as advisors to the administrators. Oh, but what of the thousands of staff who lost their jobs over the Christmas 2008? They received the bare legal minimum statutory redundancy pay, averaging a week’s wages per year of service. Ouch."
