The 1st two mins were good though Some sing of Celtic, Rangers And some of Motherwell Of Hibs and Partick Thistle And other teams as well But of all the famous football teams There’s one that they’ve forgotten With a Ra Ra Ra and a Cha Cha Cha IT’S THE FAMOUS GREENOCK MORTON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKAC Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Brilliant stuff Bryan. Saw Kincaid's canteen where my Gran worked serving my grampa and his mates meals. Was begging him to turn the camera around to see cappielow at the end, but.. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

Gashlad Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Fantastic. Being born in 79 I really appreciate this. Can anyone tell me, the bright yellow car sitting at the side of the high flat, Nissan Cherry or a Sunny is it ? Christianity: One woman's lie about having an affair that got seriously out of hand.

TRVMP Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The town centre bits are pretty surprising just because of how little has changed, as opposed to how much. Still buses on Kilblain Street, still the pishy wee underpass on West Stewart Street, still Victoria Tower looming over it all. Once you get out towards the yards, though, jesus that's quite an alteration. edit: haha this video's from the same guy, check the nick of these tools - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=U1aeOJldVIU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cet Homme Charmant Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ...... still Victoria Tower looming over it all. Aye Nacho, that'll be because it was built before 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midTONs Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I will stick my neck on the line here and say that video was taken after 1979, maybe 1981. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Aye Nacho, that'll be because it was built before 1979. Yeah, I kinda guessed that, looks like a late 50s Corbusier job to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammario Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yeah, I kinda guessed that, looks like a late 50s Corbusier job to me. My wee boy had a project in school. Had to find the names of the two towers on top of the town hall. I genuinely didnt know the small one was there. anyone know what it's called?
