Your bringing back memories used to go listen to scheme in maxwell plums was a great pub great crowd back in the 80s so was most of the pubs and clubs great content Ian I love real life stories all the best 👍
Blink you're brilliant! Love the Glasgow gangland stories especially from your era. You and Paul are great to listen to, personally I think out of the whole of the UK the Glasgow gangland stuff is the most interesting, especially from your era the 80s 90s and early 2000s. So many characters involved in gangland Glasgow from back then. Proper gangsters. Cheers and hello from the Highlands.
@@ianmacdonald2903 So feck aboot the swearing Blink.There ware a few things I think you cd’ve done different when u got out way people leading u doon the wrang path way false info but I’ve stood in that high court dock too many times to act like I’m some fountainr of wisdom yae get me?.

Great cast i have a great interest in Glasgow as my da was born and died there..He would tell me when we passed the ponderosa on the way in the road from the bus going to Buchanan Street..I have your books on audio books listened to them last year great stories..❤
Can’t believe I’ve only just found your channel Ian. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the podcasts you’ve appeared on. You are very articulate & a fantastic storyteller. I wish you the very best of luck with it & look forward to more videos. Respect 🤝
Class Ian . True gentleman met you couple times in town and had a pint. The few times a pleasure always have time for a blether and good to hear you telling what really happened. Will keep watching Kev
Watched your podcast with James English and both with Shaun Atwood loads of times happy you’ve brought out your own think you’ll do well and brilliant your telling kids not to follow your path keep up the great podcasts blink
Just listened to your Shaun Atwood podcasts, skipped ahead to the 3rd interview and was in total shock when you said wildman had died! Great podcasts, keep them coming
Yet another well told story Mr Macdonald! Keep up the good work! And what a goal you missed if you left before it! Met you up near the University cafe one time!
Alright blink I had the pleasure of meeting you all be it on a sad occasion it was at David Fitzsimons funeral. We came up from Corby and you made us more than welcome and thanked us for travelling so far for David x
@@ianmacdonald2903 thanks for the reply blink. I was born in blackhill moved to Corby but loved going to my uncle pats lived in provinmill rd flying the doos and playing in the pondey in blackhill they wer the days lived it not a pot to piss in but kids had so much fun
@@ianmacdonald2903 No problem Ian ,we've just watched your wildest night out on shauns podcast with wildman. R.I.P. Peter...we've seen it before but it's so good we had to tune in again...pissing ourselves laughing ,,can't wait for the next one 👍👍
@@ianmacdonald2903 mate, a fuckin love that boozer to be honest. Ma wee mate stayed on Cumbernauld rd and we used to jump round for a Jar.ma pals Mrs worked behind the bar in there, good wee boozer 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Brilliant blink keep the good stories coming a love watching them mate 👍 am down in Yorkshire noo and watch awe this stuff awe the time they keep ma memories of back home alive. N that McGraw was a rat said if fae a was a youngster. Keep up the good work mate 😎
Ian did you ever meet Jimmy Boyle? I know it was before your time but I thought his book was one of the best I ever read, I was only 13 and not really a book reader i came across it by chance when My sister took it from my dad and I was looking for something when I took it down I'm not a big reader but that book was awesome I was only 13 at the time. a few years ago I was chatting online with a guy from Glasgow who was locked up with one of Jimmy's pals a guy by the name of John McCue ,I'm just wondering did you ever meet him or any of his pals he wrote about in his book. Frank Wilson ,Willie Smite ,Willie Bennett they were old school but people you wouldn't want to cross
Great stuff again Blink mate. Loving these stories, from someone who was there, makes a change on You Tube!! Be great to hear one on your old spar Rab Curruthers, a proper old school legend. 👍
@@ianmacdonald2903 well said blink , I watch every crime podcast what's there to watch, but to have a podcast with you n paul would as you say blow the rest of them to Kingdon come, especially if you two start telling stories of the past about rab ,even paul has said on many occasions that rab was his role model a man he looked up to , he was by Paul's account the real deal, anyway loving the channel mate ,best wishes going forward from Sacha in London
Great Podcast Mr Blink! I’ve just found your channel and really looking forward to watching the rest of your content now! Your actually a really good story teller and certainly come across as a very interesting bloke. Keep up the great work buddy and good luck with the channel!!
Found this channel by chance. Really enjoyed it. Very informative on the background to certain stories that were in the media. Ian is brilliant at the non scripted storytelling and very funny as well. Will watch the rest of the videos tomorrow .
Great wee podcast Blink. Im 58 and can remember the 80's and 90's pretty well. Gary Moore would be a subject and a half, and i reckon you could tell more about him, lead a crazy life. You can no doubt get more truthful if the persons not with us anymore, but thats not to say that I'm saying shit like youll know everything about his activities, but hes been all over the press before when he was alive. I think it would be a good one. Cheers.
Another great 👍 story and podcast man’s got a heart ❤️ of a tiger 🐅 and u loved a ekkie didn’t ya bro I’ve heard u mention them numerous times in podcasts lol stay safe stay sharpe 👍☑️💪🏴
Once again lan brilliant video you have a natural talent for telling real life stories and what a incredible life you have led.your channel must be one of the best new ones on UA-cam.total respect Ian as always.
Tavy@ that was a great podcast blink. You had me on the edge of my seat. I love listening to your glasgow storys and the way you say it and put it across to the audience is good, becouse i am from paisley and glasgow and paisley are joinend onto each other and the two places are so alike. With the same brilliant patter and old school hard men like yourself blink, you used a knife alot but you were never scared to take any one a square go. And pual ferris wrote a full chapter about the paisley mob and namend a few names when he worked for old arthur in the mid 1980s and pual said one of his jobs was to collect alot of money from the paisley mob and he had alot of respect for them and visa versa. And pual made it clear paisley was a place you could get alot of stuff that you were looking for, and there was alot of stuff you would get that you wernt looking for if you wernt carefull. Paisley was a dangerous place alright and many said it was just like glasgow and maybe even older. When blink said there "did mcgraw give me money that night? Eh well yous will just have to keep guessing" and my guess is no he didnt give blink any money! Becouse i know some one that knew tam mcgraw and he said he was the most miserablest guy hes ever mett. And would rather die than pay out alot of money, hes that bad. Or if he did give blink money that night i would say no more than 20 grand just to keep blink sweet or so he thought. But you dont earn over 20 million pound by being stupid and careless. I thinck mcgraw was almost a millionare by the late to early 1980s, and he ownend at least 12 ice cream vans by then alone. Plus his pub the caravel wich was huge, and was making a fortune! But blink keep the storys coming your a natural at telling them plus you show alot of respect to others that arnt there and its just like listening to one of my own friends talking to me over a pint or ten lol.
