@@davym23 It must be a part of his character that he isn't aware of therefore he won't be able to stop doing so, it isn't something iv actually paid attention to and certainly dont find it annoying. We all have our own little habits that we are unaware of so unless it takes away any value on his excellent podcasts I count such a comment invalid IMO, Good day.
Blink contact me maybe I can help you legit in my work or even just help out taking you an family for a meal I’m up there quite a lot. You are my Dad’s double in attitude and genuinely decent fella. I bet you’ve got stories that could last about a week without stopping lol
If blink can get in touch ASAP I’d love to help and it could help Shaun. In fact I need to buy the audio book. I know this is going to be food. Just be yourself because it’s just as easy to speak normal for them to work it our lol
I was in full Sutton with blink back in the mid 90s. We use to have some great laughs down the education block on the cookery classes. Glad to see your looking well Ian. All the best 👍
Fuck up ya dafty blinks a ledgend and can a tell you something he would give you your last and help you if he could did ma dad a turn many years ago good to see you Ian it’s Alan a was a wee boy when you helped make dad you were young your self back then 😂
@@corradosoprano93 Blink Is an excellent speaker. He should definitely have his own PodCast, without a doubt, V. Interesting & should go far, If he ever decides to carry on with that suggestion!
@@MrTonner29 Meant with RESPECT, as he knows what he's talking about, pal's sending Blinks book, great read, I have yet to read It so looking forward to IT, BLINKS a TOPMAN, & I, he would do well with his own POD, having been there seen It done It, RESPECT duly paid, U ever come across a Jim F Horne, founder, oh St Mungos?
When Ian speaks about how other podcast interviewers show disrespect to their guests by shouting etc I think we all know who he means by this this particular interviewer really needs to learn how to speak properly and professionally to the people who have been good enough to come on his show and tell their story even though he ends up talking about himself anyway. Great interview really enjoy listening to Mr Blink
As a fellow glaswegian , blinks a top guy well known and feared not to be messed with. Of the old school. Alot of respect for the guy. Fellow rangers man aswell
Really been looking forward to this one Ian Blink Mcdonald great story teller so glad to see him doing so well. Just watched from Start to Finish. Gripping yet again. I would love to see a film made of Ian's story with the Spanish Hotel scene included I think it would be a Blockbuster. Thankyou Sean and Ian had a great afternoon watching this 😀.
Class podcast yet again, Ian can tell great story’s in his own unique way. As a proud Scot myself Scottish gangland tales, past and present is fantastic viewing. Engrossed for the entire podcast, thank you Sean and the great Ian ‘Blink’ McDonald, more please. 🥂🏴
@ca1.... Very contemptible sweeping statement is one thing, but coming from a religious zealot is laughable. As Cs Lewis once said... "the biggest problem with Christianity is Christians."
Just love Ian blink macdonald he is the og for me. Stories are interesting and hilarious all at the same time a brilliant story teller. Please have him back again Shaun 👍
I live in Glasgow. I know the places he's talking about. I'm so glad this world is nothing to do with me. He's a great story teller. Another brilliant interview.
I like when you interview gangsters who are honest and see the folly of their lives. Yes I love the humour and the stories but I enjoy them least when It's just a bragging parade for individuals who haven't accepted the misery and pain they put many people through. Just because we had a past doesn't mean we don't have a future. Hopefully this will be honest without gloating.
Chet wild man and blink together would be best podcast ever done they would need shaun there to just keep them a bit normal imagine a night on drink with them 3 be some laughs
Really great Interview. I think Ian is on the right side of understanding life experience. Shaun, your stuff is great. I think your experiences in life have allowed you to fully understand life's pain but you have come on and enjoy life. That is striking. The interview with Paul Ferris is just astounding. It's not easy when you have had a hard beginning in life. I really respect Paul Ferris - you know! Ian it is great to hear your stories. Really good. - and remember we are only here for a very short time. Shaun - I have a story to tell about my life and maybe one day I will put it together and you can speak with me. Take care Ian and Shaun.
Hi Shaun, thank you for acknowledgement. I will get my act together. There is a book and an interview in me somewhere. I want to one day lay out the whole truths in my life, but it will be done in the correct order. Order is so important as - let's say- if we have ten boxes of truths and you re-arrange those boxes - you can destroy the reality to suit your agenda. If I am allowed to explain in order, you will see a natural course of events. Most life experiences in reality are a natural (sometimes sad) course of events. If I write my stuff down and you publish- you better have your printing presses ready - as my book will fly out the door. What you and others do is to allow a fair response to emasculation in life. Don't forget me as I will look to someone like you to emancipate my feelings. Take care - Cyril
Appreciated Stephen & I Really Enjoyed doing that interview with Shaun down in Liverpool & to Top it All I had the Pleasure of Finally meeting the Lovely & Infamous.."WILDWOMAN..HERSELF"..Respect from..GLASGOW..Ian(Blink) 😉
He’s a great guest! Very entertaining. I laughed when he mentioned toning down his speech because I was thinking just that, personally knowing people from Glasgow myself.
Hi Mary see you like wim hof he's very cool. Where you from I'm in Bournemouth hey Mary that Ian is funny even how he slashes someone is funny oops haha is that bad I find his Chao's funny?you know what it is Mary he can kill you and he has a way that has me thinking oh bless the boy haha
Another cracking podcast. Blink is a great storyteller. One thing, you need to get your sound sorted out. Its really quiet then the next think boom, loud as anything.
The guy from spain blink saved from getting shot is a big heroin smuggler/dealer called Robert Hamilton. The people that bombed Arthur Thompsons car were the Welsh brothers…. The same family that had terrorised Paul Ferris in his youth which eventually lead to ferris having enough of theyr shit which resulted in ferris stabbing one and scalping the other. This was one of the incidents that brought ferris to old arthur thompsons attention. He sent for ferris and asked ferris to describe in intimate detail exactly how he done the welshes and listened with obvious excitement and uncontained happiness laughing loudly at every violent detail.
Picked up a passenger was driving him to his destination when he told me why he was catching a taxi and not driving .. during the course of me driving him to his destination he told me a bit of his lifestyle needless to say it was very interesting so I said to him would love it if the journey was longer because it was very fascinating to hear his stories he then said to me you can read it in my book I asked him what his name was and he said people know me as blink .. I looked back and surely it was the man himself.. I must say tho he came across as such a nice guy and well spoken ..
While I'm here I want to add that in Ferris' film the one thing that truly bothers me is the housing. Aye, Blackhill was mostly knocked down around 1997/98 and then rebuilt. Still...it disappointed me that no CGI or something could be used to show what Blackhill looked like in Ferris' and Blink's day. Blackhill's housing was like housing in a true war zone. Very foreboding, crumbling, dark stone tenements covered in graffiti, boarded up windows, derelict land covered in litter and burnt-out cars, muddy streets with no landscaping, packs of stray street dogs, grass growing through street paving, low street lighting. Especially down the lower end - Bargeddie street, Craigendmuir street, Acrehill street, Cranhill street. You knew you were in a dangerous place as soon as you entered it - no mistaking it. One of those places that if you wandered into it by accident, not knowing where you were, you'd still say, "I think we better get out of here."
I'll vouch for Blink here. (no that I have to btw.) I was in A-Hall in Barlinnie at the time, awaiting to be allocated to an LTP nick. The place was like a hornets nest. Honestly! The windows were like the steamy at night. (Glaswegian for the old wash house) At recreation the phones were buzzing with the old man's associates. (The serious crime squad must've been rubbing their hands.) Funnily enough, I ended up in the same work party as the elusive Mr X in HMP Perth. That was a strange 🎣 btw!
Blink was known for keeping the partys going legend apparently a pure buzz, bhoy from Balornock here only heard good things from when he was up our way. On you go mate
try and look slightly more interested in who your interviewing, grinning when he’s discussing someone’s drug problem…the sideee eye and false head nods, your not even taking in what he’s saying 😂
Thanks Colin it would make a Difference. from giving them out mate. No seriously I'm just trying to live a quiet life these days but starting my own channel soon & try & make it funny along the way not all this I'm a gangster shit. Have a good day Colin pal 👍
