My Grandfather is top right, John Irvine, the picture is up in my parents house. My dad was born in '55 so he thinks it's definitely before he was born. He thought it was Accies so that's all I was going with. Hope some of the vast knowledge on here could nail it down.

Think this is Hamilton Accies at some point in the early 50's.

I did 6 months there when it was MetTec. Think it has closed down now. Anyway, have either of the 3 zombie sevco's turned on each other yet?

Coatbridge, Airdrie, Bellshill, Holytown, New Stevenston, Carfin, Burnbank, Hillhouse (my mate got shot with an air rifle when we were playing fives at the Jock Stein Parks), Blantyre, Cambuslang, Cathkin, Rutherglen, Springburn, Balornock, Barmuloch and Provanmill. I've been to all these places and they are shit holes. Not all violent but just run down. I know I didnt mention my home town of Wishaw but it's not all that bad, with the exception of the enclaves of Pather and Gowkthraple. Not much to do and the town center is dead but some pubs are ok for a drink.

Watched that RocknRolla last night. Had it's moments but it just seem to remind me of Layer Cake. Gerrard Butler was quite good in it. Though the gay scene in the car was rather funny. Edit 6.5/10

Bloody Heroes by Damien Lewis. Book about SBS operations in the UK and Afganistan, with the main body of the book describing the battle of Qala-I-Janghi in which 8 SBS soldiers and a hadfull of Northen Alliance troops fought off over 300 Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists. It also decribes how Amnisty Internation wanted an investigation into how so many enemy terrorists came to be killed (over 200) after video footage was leaked (it's on You Tube) of Brittish personell taking part in the battle. Really good Non-fiction stuff.

3 of a Kind - Babycakes!

Rico- Black Limo Santuary Medicine is a quality Album.

Some Israeli pineapple juice (fontana) taste's crap, give me Del Monte any day.

I was in the chippy and there basically a riot going on outside. So I was watching it from inside eating my roll and chips with a fritter. Owner said I had to go out. So I did and got into a fight with somebody going out of the Auld Store. What can you do. I would also like to nominate Hillhouse in Hamilton due to the fact that my mate got shot in the leg while we were playing fives there. And also Burnbank in Hamilton..... just because.

Anytime I was ever in Law I ended up in a fight because I was an outsider from Overtown . I dont know how bad or good it is now as it has been a while since I've been there other than visiting my Aunt and Uncle. We also had the "Electric" flats in Overtown! The ones on the main st down from the Primary School. I still call them that to this day haha. I knew a Dickson family from Law, one was a Boxer I'm sure, I stayed next door to their partents in Overtown, any relation? We are Famous for having an outbreak of E-Coli, from the John Barr butchers which was and still is the biggest outbreak of the viris in the WORLD! We also have Jack McConnel, Lee Miller and ICT's Andrew Barrowman. What the hell has ever came out of East Kilbride? Just a fat Coisty? As for our attrctions we have around 27 Hairdressers on the Main St alone, the largest number of Sectairian marches outwith Belfast, a golf course, and a maternity and neo-natal unit (something Hairmyers doesnt) in our hospital.

Yeah they were probably out pointing at aircraft in the sky and throwing stones at them.

EK is a prefab shithole, chucked up in the 40's and 50's. Thankfully when I worked in RR Nerston was the furthest in I had to venture. Anybody I have ever met from there never wants to go outside it, they seem to think the world ends at the start on the Expressway, and the "Village" is some sort of National Turst site . At least Wishaw has some history
