I am writing from South Africa. To my delight I stumbled on the above and so loved it all. Memory lane for sure. I lived for that regular delivery of the Jackie mag, (to South Africa), which a friend's dad so kindly ordered for us. Now at almost seventy I'm still holding on to some of the illustrated images that I cut out then. Smile. Wish I could find more material on the seventies Jackie on Google.
Met Martin for the second time today, at community service. I'm there for committing what is very much not my first or worst crime. The rest of the lads had left so it was what became a one to one session although the social worker was also present. Can only speak good words about you Martin. I spoke about stuff today only maybe two or three other people in my life have heard. This is bearing in mind I have social workers justice workers, a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I have spent time in prison and in the psyche ward in Wishaw General, more than once. This guy is onto something I've never had the pleasure of being told about. Martin, thank you for today and thank you for listening, understanding and relating to what I let go. Very nice guy and I'm now going to be immersing myself in the books you recommended. And I will be trying to get over and see and hear more of what you have to say. Very powerful stuff that I believe can help me more than incarceration, nhs unintentional incompetence and any meds they try and shove down my throat. Many thanks mate I am writing this and feel that I unintentionally made a friend today. Hope to see and hear directions from you again soon.
I really enoyed listening to this conversation. Thank you ladies. I loved Jackie when I was a teenager, and still occasionally trot out my annuals when I feel nostalgic even today.
This is actually embarrassing. This person is clearly of low intelligence, probably pleasant but she has no talent for recitation and you have to wonder what OnFife is trying to achieve with such excruciating awfulness. Fife is soulless cultural desert and the dullards in charge are essentially parasites. It is disgusting.
Hi Len, Chris Barrett, How the hell are you? I was over 5 years ago, unfortunately funerals. Liz Will was looking after my Mother and gave me your number, I lost it! Left a pint in the pot for you at the Crusoe Hotel, I hope you enjoyed it. Do you see any of the old gang? Last time I we met up you were working in London, ames taping. If you see this get back.
I am looking to move to Scotland permanently in the next year. My mother was born in Dunfermline in 1946 and moved to Australia in the late 50's. My Gran suffered from Raynaud's disease because of the cold. However, I cannot handle the heat of Australia.
We couldn’t stand the heat of oz either, so we moved to Dunfermline, but the people were unbelievably hostile, nasty and unhinged. The weather majorly f***s with your head. Hope you didn’t have the same problem
Yet another contribution to The Scottish Cringe. It is abysmally read, the sound quality dreadful and it is an insult to Robert Burns. Where do you get people like this? Do they just walk in the door and get a salary? It is pathetic and typical of the mediocrity served up by this bunch of simpering dullards.
Pretty sure i went into a trance in the beach scene! Jokes aside, your message and music paired together with nature's house was absolutely incredible. Well done
Love these arial shots of my favourite, local places. We are so lucky to have access to wonderful outdoor space to help our mental health during lockdown. A great project with great music.
What a great interview - certainly deserves more than 285 views. Our last holiday was to that part of Scotland in September 2019 and we visited The Bookshop. I bought both Shaun's books and loved them so much so that we hope to make another trip to South West Scotland Covid permitting later this year.
