Winston Ingram Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I dont know the guy. Only encounter was when I was having a wazz in Robbo's once, and two lads came out of the same cubicle.. This Bernie character was standing beside me, and started laying off about how "in my day" there was no "drugs or poofs in Gorgie" and only "fighters". The lads shuffled past. I just nodded and did likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flogel98 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Year ago before Robbos - Green Tree days, we're playing the Irish. 2 of them come to the door, full hoops rig out. Bernies on the door and says, "you can come in but you have to take the scarfs off". Soft bassas do it and walk in, don't think they got 3 feet inside the door before they got pummeled. Sick.

Although I now know that was slighly incorrect! Buffalo Bill . I used to travel on the Porty Hearts bus in the 80s and remember Jimmy Lightbulb getting onto the bus at Perth when we'd stopped on the way back from Pittodrie. Seemed a bit of a cult hero but i was only about 13/14 at the time and had no idea who he was/is. Any info on who he is & why the name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VEE Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Big Bernie is indeed still alive and well, although unfortunately his backs gone a wee bit now so he cant indulge in his favourite passtime ie.. leathering anybody entering Gorgie wearing green. oh well auld age doesn't come itself as they say.

Smoked-Glass Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was having a pee in robbos and berni (obviously a bit drunk) say ALRIGHT YOU, YOU'VE GOT GINGER HAIR SO YOU MUST BE A CATHOLIC?! I said no i'm not OH SO YOU'RE A RIGHT GOOD PRODDY THEN? Naw not really into any religeon mate So that was a lucky escape even though my hair is not bright ginger. Another time he berni was banging on the a cubical door shouting "RIGHT YOU! GET OUT OF THERE NOW I NEED A SH111TEE!! Apparently that's how he gets the druggies out of the toilet cubicals.

Adi Dassler Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 He sits outside the back of the BMC in the "beer garden" early doors (12ish) on matchdays before he relocates along to Robbos. He smokes they poofy wee brown fags and drinks something orangey in a small glass. I have to say it's not very becoming for a guy of his size and reputation.
