Fuckin tremendous comment m8 spot on

hahaha funny

I wasn't aware I was from the Battle of Culloden !!!!

Lool. Spat my tea!

Lmao this made me lay a wee bukka cranky pullet egg 😂😝🐓

My thoughts aswell.lol

Greggs - making fat lassies happy for over 30 years.

That Greggs wasn't on George Square, it was on another street further down

i remember it being there in 1982

A J Your correct. It was on Queen Street just down from one of the corners of George Square I’m sure it was.

What streets you walking these days cowboy.?

they single-decker Leyland Atlanteans were on the number 98, Queen St.-Central shuttle. Previously (before Strathclyde orange) there were even-smaller Seddons. Proper buses but mini-bus sized!

man after my own heart

And to boot, your University degree is probably worthless. Or are you one of the successful stories?

@@robertmcmillan3638 Glasgow Uni degrees in the 1980s weren't worthless. About 5% of the population went to uni. Guys I know took ten years to get one. Some departments had zero Firsts year after year. Now some of them hand out 40% Firsts. Trying to acquire some understanding of anything, with nothing to help you but unreadable books and articles, in a system where people were perfectly happy to fail you and nobody cared if you were upset, was all quite something.

@@craigross341 Back in the 70's and 80"s they weren't worthless of course but they are worthless now as almost everyone has them who's under 40, with more graduates being added each year to the low paid workforce, call centres etc to compete with. If you've been working in your studied sector though since the 80's or 90's then that experience is worth more than any degree would be.

@@robertmcmillan3638 Yes, but if the qualification signalled a stable ability in the 80s when it was awarded then I might have a real ability now not possessed by someone who'd had one doled out later. Others might recognise that. Seeing this is the kind of thing they taught me, or - perhaps - was an ability I had to have to get in. That's another distinction the class of '87 quickly and easily draws.😄

@@craigross341 not what you know but who you know!

Glasgow in the mid 90's to early 2000's was probably the best.

Canada since 78...Glasgow, never leaves me...

@@lifelong5425 The city has changed, but we the people haven't, well, the native Glesga folk are still around! awrabest over in Canada !

Sad to hear this.😢

Same m8 we used tae dog school in a amusements that was just round fae argyll street up fae were argos is now canny mind the name ae it good times

I remember Microsoft got the Barras raided a few times for pirate software. One time the MS Software was on sale in the Barras before Microsoft had released it in the UK!

I went to the Barras recently and it broke my heart...

❤😂it’s great though! Glasgow in the eighties. Loved it!

Great times.

Being 15 in 1997 would make you around 8 in 1990.

Sprog

Thank you for those kind words. As a kid I lived at Abbotsford Place, Gorbals, and when I went to visit the area in 87, looked like a bomb had hit the place. There was nothing left except for my old Abbotsford School. I live in Canada, and often like to go back to dear old Glesga to see my sister and her family. That film was one of the many film to video transfers I do as a business. It's all wonderful nostalgia.

Glad you liked it, Glasgow Gallus.

Boy two is currently going through the transition and can be seen regularly, dressed in heels and a mini skirt feeding the Glasgow starlings.

Boy1- jail, boy2- on the herion; then died, boy3-killed a cunt then killed himself( statistically speakin ;) )

Yep but Peter Peden the curtain man was missing

They're coming. Just over the horizon ...

@@phillipecook3227 It was about another 12 years until mobile phones became a thing for the average person in Glasgow.

Robert McMillan things were so much easier back then. How times have changed.

They existed then but we're enormous, basic and very, very expensive.

Were not we're. Bloody autocorrection again.

Aren't kids funny !

They'll be over 40 year old now

+Kcuf elgoog You're right, Super 8 movie film came out in 1965, and the camera was made around 1970. Kodak are actually reviving Super 8 in the fall of 2016.

+Len Vine Kodak is still there? Its shrunk about 99%

Kcuf elgoog just as well since cameras of the 80s where in a transitional period and where of shit quality

@@lenvine looks like the same camera used in the bob dylan documentary eat the document.

A sony

Danny Ferguson what for?

If pigeons recognise you as friendly over time , they'll probably come right on to you if you sit still enough.

Its no from George square - its a pigeon that couldnae fly because it got bitten by a rat and the boy just brought it into the city center for a day out

Really? I'd always heard that it was the other way around and that the Co-op building was a rejected design for the city chambers

True ... 👌

My home in North Glasgow for the past 40 yrs, years has been overrun by a thousands of economic migrants, halal butchers and African North & sub Saharan shops. Multiculturalism has ruined a once great community. Thanks Nikola.

That's right len, have you checked out abandoned Scotland, Cumberland st railway station, recommended, take care mate enjoy

It’s like a different city to the one I grew up in. It’s sad to see the decline of the city centre.

I remember the buses in green,white and yellow too!And you had a Transcard to travel on them.....

Buses wae leatherette seats that yer legs stuck tae whilst wearing shorts in the summer. 78 ah wis born, I remember the Lite Bite doon St Enoch wis ah treat fir a wee pup like masel.

Also it's magical

You wouldn't like it as much now. For a time it was called red square when the Council had taken the grass away. But it should be called red square now because it's full of leftwing socialists doing protests for this, that and the other every other weekend.

Robert McMillan oh aye they like to call it freedom square - they can GTF Good video 👍

Robert McMillan don't forget it gets sold to the Banks a few times a year for wherever scheme they are going to rob you for . The army and police like to have a "public awareness day" there too.. You ll also notice the homeless get shifted from there pronto.... Freedom? A thing of the past- cheers Nichola.

@@dopesensi The SNP has RUINED Scotland and the real kick to the head is they walk away with a almost clean sweep of 50 +plus seats at election times. The numbers don't add up? Consider how many people are in Scotland then consider how many are eligible to vote?, Then how many people ACTUALLY bother to vote then split the votes up between all the political parties. So where does the SNP get all this so called support from? Not that many people ARE actually voting for them but the SNP keeps making claims that they "speak for the people of Scotland". NO They bl0000dy well DON'T! And they certainly DON'T have the right to dictate to the rest of the UK. Nigel farrage got more votes down south than Scotland has eligible voters in the first place by but the reality denier's in the SNP think that they can stop Brexit, spend like crazy with NO results, have Hospitals fall apart, roads and infrastructure fall apart, immigrants flood in, no prospects for the advancement of society and they still think they are "winning" Why has Nicola Sturgeon, Alex salmond, the SNP and that Green party "harvie" guy who backs them up not been investigated?

Hawl, edgy.

Mega Kunt hawl games a boagie

School dinner caramel slices for two bob.

Get yer lighters.

This is the ONLY Glasgow you would want to remember. 90's was the best though imo, right up to about 2003 (ish).

Too many asylum reekers pollution our great city 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@jemimallah Who mentioned "crime"? But now that YOU have brought it up, do you know that Govanhill is an absolute "hell hole" that resembles something from a third world Country which is unacceptable considering that it's Nicola Sturgeon's constituency. R@pes are happening more. Junkies are fighting with the immigrants for the best begging spots in the City centre also. People are getting in to real trouble with landlords because of this, that and the other. At least back in the 90's to early 2000's, people had hope for a brighter future and what was there in Glasgow at the time was good enough. Don't know where you've been?

@jemimallah Here's a link among many if you don't believe me www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/09/24/snps-justice-policies-attacked-violence-sex-crimes-surge-scotland/amp/

@jemimallah No reply? Thought so. That shut you up, didn't it.

Speak for yourself bud. 1987 i was watchin robocop n adventures in babysittin or watever the azad had new. U mean in comparison to the time difference between now n 87- 87-45? You're still wrong.

James Aitken. I strongly suspect the City Council is allowing it to run down. That way, they can say it's unprofitable, and will sell the land on for new student accommodation. It's pretty depressing now, fake DVDs and dodgy tobacco 🙁

Alison Lee The quicker the Barras is gone the better. The only bit to stay should be the Ballroom.

All the way from Edinburgh? ?? That's mighty far. I hope you packed a sandwich.

the indoor market should still be open, me used to sell jumpers back in the 80s and 90s!

Glad you liked it. I only wish I had video of the Gorbals before they demolished it, particularly of our street, Abbotsford Place.
