1:06:00 what’s the name of the serial killer he talking about here? It sounds like Dennis neilsons story with body parts in the drains.
@@paddycaldwell3112 aye he’s talking about Dennis Neilson. (From Aberdeen originally)
Nonce protect the peepo my arse nonce the lot o em
Gangtas are all full o Eccles and nonces
Why are the gangsters in glasgow protecting a football club that rapes weans at 18 months old nonce that's why ..... any godfather would just take the nonce oot for embarrassing thuum
I traveled all the way to Glasgow from Seattle and just got home…. Let’s just say this podcast inspired the trip. What an episode! ☘️
Took my brain a while to get used to the strong scottish accent but then was One of the best podcasts I have ever watched!
Thank you
@@JamesEnglish Your welcome mate keep smashing it!
Definitely this one or the paddy conroy james....hel give u some stories..paddy and Steven Sayers were b.f.😂😂.only joking
Check Darren gee podcast..even BETTER...L5 alive ppl..choosealifenotaknife.
Let me tell you, he was holding back on his accent, because of British viewers, some words he says is in a British way, for example police is not said how he says it in Scotland, it’s more like po-lus. I’m British but my family are Scottish and I spent a lot of time there so have no issues understanding, in fact I come back to England speaking Scottish lol, also my family are the Mac donalds also.
I've watched this 3 times , still the best podcast 🔥🔥 love no2 🙏
👍🏼😉🎤
Great interveiw he never blows his own trumpet he says it how it is and was. Top class
2nd time I've watched this one can't remember it being so long last time...Loving your podcasts James
One of the best podcast interviews i have ever watched, 3 hours flew by in a flash. Blink has a great way of putting his stories across and I will be defo buying his book. And i have to say well done to James, he guides the conversation nicely without interjecting too much, which isnt easy to do at all, he is defo mastering the interview craft. Fucking joy to watch well done.
Used to serve Ian fairly regularly in a pub at the bottom of Kelvin Way. He'd come in with his dug, a bowl of water for it and a Guinness or two for himself. Have to say he was always a really sound guy!
Is that the Islay Inn?
@the big bad duck Shite post sis!
@@robertoceferino1456 Naw, It's where the Butcher Shop Bar & Grill is now. He knew the owners back then. Had a good few stories in him!
Tight bastard already come in with his own cans of guiness . What a pussy to
And why wouldn’t he be. 🤔

For some reason I really enjoy Ian's interviews more than anyone else seems a genuine guy, doesn't think he's the best thing since sliced bread . Done his time and reflects on it as a mistake.

frandevereaux thank you
Cracking interview, some stories told by Blink.
Just pure class this, best interview I've seen on UA-cam. The Blink totally fascinating, tells his story brilliant and the interaction between Ian and James is brilliant, can see a lot of respect between the two and both when they were partying could see them been each others wing men haha. Soo good, well done jimbo and the team!
Bollocks he got a match for the ticket don't ye know
Ian (No whit a mean) Blink MacDonald lol
Great podcast though! Really enjoyed it. Should get him back on again for a part 2 👍👍👍
David Macpherson cheers mate. It’s in talks for part 2 as there’s plenty more story’s 👍🏼
unreal the amount of times he said 'No whit a mean' haha.......some storyteller so he is
David Macpherson if you have iTunes can you leave a review please itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/anything-goes-with-james-english/id1397924687
love the pepole who bad mouth blink bet they wldnt say he’s a scmbag to his face this guy is the real deal respect blink
Ian "hingwae" MacDEE
All good interviews.
Very enjoyable and interesting.
That's up there with one best and funniest interviews I've ever watched, and i've watched some belters over the years with Parky having on Mohammad Ali, Billy Connely etc and Nixon on Frost but that is in the same league as them all. Just effortless by both men getting honest and telling it how it was. I would've given my right arm to have been involved in one of his night outs, right up my street and sense of humour, just magic. 10/10 thanks man
G son cheers g
And that’s coming from a Hibby from Leith to , thanks James mate
@@JamesEnglish whats this a hear ur leatherin big chris at saltire llf pal
Great interview , really enjoyed it.
I'm Irish but I find the Glasgow gangland stories fascinating.
Keep up the good work , James.
Cheers mate
The "Kill you in a blink of an eye" is bullshit, big time. He'd a twitch, can't folk fuckin remember, or get things right, like Jamie Stevenson "The Iceman" lol! Had an ice cream van, thats why. Jamie "The Bull" came from owning a big pit bull, "big deal" will be his next monicker, just pure nonsense. See sense, not nonsense.
@@paulglancy3867 Fucking trolls all over the auction .
@G 1 You're probably correct there pal, but i never watched this interview. does it mention the theory, myth about 'Killing you in the Blink of an Eye?' my source in the know told me, yah see i weas in this rehab up in Cambletown aand this female, older than me came in, and she'd some stories to tell. One certain name of Ferris would go to her house basically in tears about the Welsh's, and she said her Man would be coming to rehab too, so as she said, well couple of days later in walked Jim, her name was Catrioni, from Barmulloch, very nice people, older than me, and i'm 54, and this happened in 2010. She told me alot of things. She was one of these people that was'nt in with gangsters, but as her man did, and ran in these circles, she told me. How Stevenson started with the 'E's back in the early 90's to who Really shot Fatboy Thompson. She said 'everybody knows it was .... ..... who shot him' I believe her, as it's been verified by others. No i won't tell you, or anyone for that matter, but the clue is in my 'Full Stops' during her statement. One time i used to run around with bad guys, like one guy, started off as my co-pilot in C-Hall, and when i came back from 'Rec' there he was, in his white 'Y's' But had that 'Who the fuck are you looking at look' First thing he said was 'I put your radio on, is that alright?' I jokingly said 'Aye mate, infact you can keep it lol' That's Cal Connor for you, and a fully commital we did, i got my not guilty first, would go up with Diane his common law wife, give him a few 'Jimies' and then watched his trial in High Court in Ingram Street fall apart. So once he was out, we were inseperable. What a guy, and you can ask Mr Blink if he knew him. He would've known him, and feared him, yet Cal was only 5 ft 6 small, but give him a blade? Kill you in the blink of an eye, he did this in Holland, killed a guy who was annoying him, so met him outside, murdered him and tossed the body into a skip of all places. Got caught, did 18 months ovewr there, then got sent to Barlinnie, but they let him go, as why, what, how was he a prisoner in there? No reason to be honest, so 18moon for murdeer? Result, not tat i'm agreeing with murder, it's just the way his head must've been in that moment. One thing only a fool would do, and that would've been to go up against Cal. The Welsh's tried, and he gave them worse than what Ferris did. The serious crime squad wanted Cal out the picture, so he went and did a home invasion with Neil his brother, as guy was humping his missus, so in through the window they went, place was dark, next thing a body is running about in the dark, so the two of them start stabbing and slashing the guy. Squad arrived at Cal's home in Royston, and as he was getting dressed, a big copper said 'Aye, and what is this?' He was standing holding (according to Cal) a large shard of glass, and Cal said it was about 6-7 inches long, said he'd just found it under his pillow. Right you are lol! Not Proven was the verdict.
Talking of slap's. You see my friend, you don't. My thing is, i was brought up in a state of ffear by a bastard of a stepclown, but he got his, but now it's left me living in a state of fear, yet nothing to fear, you getting me there? Or are you just of the opinion that 'He'll do this to you and that to you' Why is this guy a celebrity criminal anyway? Robbing a bank in Torquay. Where's the figure 6 Million come from? My main branch of The Royal Bank of Scotland doesn't have that much in it. You'd need to rob it 20 times in as many weeks lol! Well nice to reply, it'll keep you occupied...Paul.
@@JamesEnglish glad you got rid of that intro James...best thing you've done for your channel....keep up the good work!

My god that takes me back when he mentioned Kibble, Rosie Farm Polmont remember visiting them in the early 70s brings back so many memories of my brothers and the stories they told me later in life.
