Another absolute fantastic podcast Ian , waiting on the big one sometime , possibly a Christmas special, if you and Paul were willing to do one , would be one of the top podcasts ever shown on you tube. Let’s hope .

Another great podcast, i could listen to your stories all day, I comented on your 1st podcast about how nice it would be to see Paul ferris on one of your shows, loved hearing you talking about him and possibly making this a reality, all the best from a fat yorkshire lad
@NepheshSnake LiberationFromGod I got lost in Glasgow visiting a pal from Royston got the wrong bus and go off it ended up I was in blackhill there were some local lads I was like here I go as they were the young team I will say this the lads pointed me in the right direction for a bus and said any hassle we will be watching so all people were not bad in blackhill pretty decent guys this was in the early 80s
Its a good job i had an irish father and he had a few Scottish friends cos I would struggle to understand Ian but amazingly I can understand it all except maybe a bit of the local slang .
@@ianmacdonald2903 Thanks for the rely bro, nice one. I will look forward to that. Am currently isolating, no symptoms, 2nd bottle listening to ac/dc long way to the top. Be kind to yourself.
Bertie Connor was an amazing man. He spent his latter years fighting for the rights of the auld guys who were affected by Asbestosis through their work. A true gent and Glasgow legend ❤️
@@1980connor your Granda was a great influence in my life, he showed me always to fight for what’s right and to stick up for those who need it. I knew him when I was a young teen and he helped my Papa get justice. A real life hero. And his patter was electric ⚡️ it was so sad how that stupid hospital infection took him far too early. I’m so sorry for your family losing him like that xX
Good podcast i really enjoy your stories because u dont sugarcoat things tell it how it is , Glad you have came out the other end of the madness and doing well for yourself , Bless
