Buddiememories

I don't remember this building as it seems from the historical blurb (below) it was demolished in '59/'60, which is just a little before I could get to know this part of the town. I think it was the early 60's when I just got on my bike and saw as much of the town as I could.
Located to the south of the town centre, opposite the RAH, the Alexandra Cinema was opened in early-December 1923 by Caledonian Entertainers Ltd. It had a 40ft wide proscenium (the part of a theatre stage in front of the curtain). In early-1930 it was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system.
It was modernised in 1938/1939, just before the War and was re-named New Alex Cinema. It was closed in early-April 1959 and was demolished in 1960 and a petrol station was built on the site. Today there is housing on the site.
 

A couple of retail establishments I used to frequent.
McDougal Bros in Moss Street was a great shop to go and wander round. They chased you out a few times, but it was an interesting shop to spend your time especially if it was pi**ing down outside.
The Sherwood Café, was always worth dropping into especially if you were meeting the girlfriend at the Kelburne and you were early, or she was late. Of course no mobiles in these days so you had to keep popping your head out the door to check if she had arrived.
 

There have been quite a few High St photos posted which isn't surprising given that it was the most important shopping street for so many years, even after the Piazza was built.
However I came across this photo of the Liberal Club which dates back a little and the rather sad 2019 photo of it now. I suppose it really sums up the demise of the Liberals in general! This is located on the corner of High Street and Church Hill.
 

Getting back on subject, I'm sure these will have been posted before, but I think they are worth repeating as they are both relevant to our old home.
In the first aerial it is a great shot of the town centre but you can see the roof of the north enclosure....... not sure when this was taken but it looks pre-motorway and I think Abbotsinch is still there as a RN Air Base, but I could be wrong. 
The second one is pre-north enclosure around 1933 time.
 

Sigh! Let it go. Literally nobody is interested bud.

No, I'd like you to remove my name as the author of the quote.
 

You could just admit you made a cock up, FS owned you on it (that's a riddy right there) and we can all move on.
But no. You prefer to rage and stomp. YET AGAIN.
Jeezo.

Oh come on slarti.
Enough with the denial and the "devil's advocate" shite.
You read and took part in the entire thread. You know EXACTLY what he is getting at.

Were we the only club with a pigeon loft. 

How did you manage to make it look like I made that quote about red, white and blue dresses?
Please don't do that.
Can you edit that please. I don't want to be associated with that quote.

FFS. What a pair of clowns you two are. Are you trying to be edgy today guys?

You've already made it quite clear you can't take it back so pipe doon and stop dishing it out.

He stood on the NB from the mid 70s , he recently posted on FB about driving down to Fulham for the Anglo-Scottish tie and sleeping in the car. He also said that Doug Somner  was his hero and that he wished the club could have come up with a similar deal to Somner which would have allowed him to stay part-time and play for us , but it never materialised !

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
The REAL forum fool's standard reply I see.

I blame the long, dark, cold winter nights for this type of shrieking. 
Jeezo.

I am on the strong coffee today but that doesn't stop you two being a pair of clowns.
Looks like Bud The Baker "I may quit the forum because of all the bullying" has joined you in the circus. 

IF I was the only person you've wrongly called it and claimed you were speaking on behalf of all the forum users, it would still show you to be just as big an idiot as most of your other statements. I have a feeling, if I looked back, it would prove you to be a liar as well as a fool.

What an idiot you are. You obviously can't comprehend the written word. And you have the cheek to call anyone a dullard.

I totally agree.

The issue the thread was about however, is.

The day of my first ever pint in a pub..
Cellar Bar before heading to the game. I was 15.

Ah. I see what's happening.
You've been on the brandy.
Enjoy your night antrin.

When the white woke middle class left lockdown clashes with a white woke middle class left cause....

What the f**k are you wittering on about? 
Perhaps you think trade is done via teleporting or magic flying carpets.
You know Harry Potter isn't real right? 
Oh and who talked about ALL of their inhabitants travelling everywhere? I don't mind a heated argument but if you're just straight up going to make shit up then I'll leave you to it.
ETA. I can't believe you actually got a "like" for that nonsensical post. Then I saw who had liked it and it all made sense. 

The guy claims that Alzheimer's disease is a form of diabetes and can be cured with coconut oil. He claims it's the same as type 3 diabetes (which if memory serves is ACTUALLY caused by pancreatitis killing the insulin producing cells - type 3c maybe the resident doc @smcc can correct me here).
This is just dangerous nonsense.
I wonder how many innocent lives this crook has cost with this wilful guff.

I followed a few links for a laugh. My belly is killing me.
If anyone goes through my search history, they'll put me in a padded cell because there's no way I'm going to be able to explain away half of this shite. 🤣
