Hi Blink, I read your book while I was doing a sentence in Cork prison Ireland a couple of years ago, excellent read and truly intriguing character, thank you very much and I'm very very glad I just found out about your podcast, god bless with everything, yours sincerely Gordon
Just discovered your podcasts after watching your shaun altwood and James English interview's.. I have to say the interview you did with Shaun was hilariously brilliant.. I honestly felt like I was just sitting in the pub with my ole pal blink ... (even tho I don't know you? Just having a pint emmersed in your experiences.. you have a really warm way of engaging with your Audience and even though you talk about violence and crime your use of humour and your animated way you get right right into into it Reliving those experiences breaks down any barriers and delivers a message of honesty and reflection in your admittance and regret... that i think if it was told ..as a barking warning ... lecturing type way some people.. wouldn't connect and recognise that what you are actually trying to get across is that you genuinely delivering a warning... and the fact that you lived that life.. you accepted what you did and did your time and you are not bitter about it either... and can humorously recall your story but genuinely inject your point... by.. "aye im laughing now.. but I wisny laughing at the time.." .. Genius! Keep emm videos coming Ian.. ! Brilliant 👏
Blink was man enough to offer him. On the podcast, no funny business, man to man! If it happens I'm sure the 1st time will be behind closed doors then we will see?
great video as always,really like the story of the godfather ,read a book about it a good few years back - keep up the good content,looking forward to the next!!
@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

Brilliant informative tale from the past blink, keep it going, it’s great getting honest stories with humour and, unlike a lot ex-con stories, YOU DONT PLAY THE VICTIM, good qualities, hope your channel grows!!
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 ❤️

Was looking out for your new podcast yesterday (Friday).Getting the stage I just can’t wait to hear of more of your life stories.Great man & will eventually buy your book Blink.
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 I have watched them all mate....... struggling to find a copy of your book. Checked Amazon cant find any paper back copies. All the best mate 👍
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
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
Hi Ian buddy 👍 😊 great channel and brilliant insight into your life and times. I'm a dalmellington boy and really enjoy your podcasts buddy keep up the brilliant work 👍
Great video lan I never get tired of your stories you tell them as they actually happened in your open and honest way mixed in with humour but not sugarcoating the serious issues.your content is always fresh and interesting.Ian can I ask you are question to be answered if you do a question and answer on the channel who was the most interesting person you met in the prison system and if you could interview anyone dead or alive who would it be.definitely you and Paul ferris together would be amazing.total respect lan as always.
Hi Ian it's Sunday and was looking for ur Saturday night podcast only thing I look forward to on a Sunday just wondering when you will be on again thanks Sharon fae shettleston

Well done ian enjoyed Ur talk freshed my memory back into the 80s, can u see you n Ferris doing a podcast anytime in the near future cheers blink brilliant 💯 awthebest 👌🎩
Good afternoon Ian I tell you what mate you could help a lot of people even just one to one talks etc. I find myself lost in debt and hardtimes at the moment and I think sometimes people need a kick up the arse . Your the man to give inspiration as your straight down the line. Good luck with the channel mate
Blink I’ve been watching your podcasts m8,and I thought I should txt and tell you it’s been the bizness m8,you should be on the stage,patters amazing and fair play to you Ian you tell it how it is,true chap in every sense,keep it up my friend 👍
Getting Paul on here would be fantastic Ian, you both tell stories in your own style and I like that about the two of ye. The podcast is going fae strength to strength.
Great Podcast Ian. Are you thinking of doing a meet and greet it book signing event? If so I'm more than happy to help promote this as I have been involved in advertising and marketing in previous business. Looking forward to hearing the next podcast mate
Always been curious if it was the lyons that slashed Ian? He referred to them as the new kids on the block and i’m sure he had a connection with the daniels years ago
I know I've brought this up before. But credit were credits due. And when I'd bumped into ian. We both were getting our cars washed. I was taken back by the respect ian shows to members of the public.
The way I see it is blink took a bump of tam and Paul didn’t agree with it. Friendship over. Bad choice blink. Decisions last a life time with loyal people. Hope youse resolve it one day.
Aye I think that he probably was involved with the great train robbery and by the way the reason I think so is I never knew that Ronnie Biggs was from Glasgow and it kinda fits with them being friends and all that jazz ha something to think about anyway BLINK hope you're well pal God bless you all and your family BLINK good luck mate quality podcast as usual ✌ 💚
Unlikely to see top Londoners like Frankie Fraser and Lenny McLean doing jobs for anybody in Scotland.,ever again Arthur Thompson must have had a lot of power.
I came from Milton Ian. We were that poor....in winter the family used to sit round a candle. If winter got REALLY COLD......my da would light the candle.
