@PunkRockStory They played Glasgow in March 1980 along with The Fall. One of the best gigs ever.

Blimey O’Riley !!! Amazing! (NB contains offensive language (you know the one)

[Count Dankula @CountDankulaTV]

One of the most offensive comedians in the UK. His jokes resulted in hundreds of Ofcom complaints and threats of lawsuits. He was someone I really looked up to and modelled my own comedy after.

Then he pulled the ladder up behind him and started attacking people for doing the very same thing he did to become famous. While moaning about people "not understanding" his own jokes.

Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅

@OssianLore https://t.co/jREsga32vZ A picture of the burned building from behind the digital advertising board.

@OssianLore That's interesting, I thought that chimney served Caledonian Chambers. I was often up there trying to source leaks to the hotel on the top floor.

[On The Verge of Want @crumbstick]

@OssianLore https://t.co/vh47aIDpsv That's the back of the chimney they're working on.

@euanmccolm @MailOnlineScot In 1979 I had a Saturday job in Dixons on the corner of that burned building. I'd forgotten about it until I saw all the historic pictures of the site with 'Ba-Bru' in the background.

@epsteinsearchin I hope Andy Stewart isn't implicated - he did have a special song though..

[On The Verge of Want @crumbstick]

@Fat_Jacques @QcWynter What utter bollocks. You need a balofix.

@TwisterFilm @theglasgowbell If you are claiming what they're saying is false, some evidence would help your case.

[On The Verge of Want @crumbstick]

@djsteeley I used to work in that Dixons. Prinzsound was the worst electronic shit you could buy.
