Jam Tarts 1874 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Funny how things pass you by. I never for one minute realised that the BCR has a number one in America with "Saturday Night" (famously used in I married an Axe Murderer), only just found out about it while browsing around looking for tit-bits just now.

marshallschunkychicken Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Stuart Wood is a good lad. Wants both Edinburgh teams to do well, but if pressed, would favour Hibs. Not really a football fan at all, as he regularly asks where both teams are in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Don't know about who he supported but both my Mum and Auntie say Mr McKeown would make a habit of waiting around the gates of their school (St Augustine's) looking for Catholics to beat up. With him, Paton and Longmuir, question has to be asked who was the nice guy associated with that band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, I myself as a one time Forrester kid did some damage to the Auggies, but I would be suprised if Paton and McKeown ever were there at the same time given the massive age difference of the parties involved.

I think I knew your mum. I said McKeown - not Paton - was said in said misdemeanour. I cited Paton given his less than honourable character (along with Longmuir) to highlight that the band had its share of nasty personalities. Regarding my Mum, PM me with what you know and we'll see if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticJambo Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Youse in yer golden years ....anybody remember when you first saw the simple 'bay city rollers' graffiti at the top of the Waverly steps (sadly removed a few yrs back) ? I returned in '78 and remember it then. Thought that that particular stone restoration project was a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sifter Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 "THE MONEY'S GONE, LES!" F****** top post BB ha ha! Me and a mate still joke about that programme to this very day! Paton and Les. Face to face for the first time in years, and there's auld Tam with the winey wee voice "listen les, gie it up son eh? Thirs nae money oot there, honestly son gie it up. The moneys away son...away......" Quality! Lyin auld b*****d....... As a side note, I've oftened thought that the Rollers story would make a great movie. It's amazin to think just how big that group were. In todays terms, the merchandising was worth something like 700 million alone FFS!!! There's a definate film in there.......get the rights sorted oot now Les, ye might yet ger yer dough back son!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
