  4. Nou Camp

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted

    Was it this one?

    No, haven't seen that one before. The one I saw (and copied) was a stylised painting of some match action with match details shown below, with an early version of the famous Barca crest in a bottom corner.

    If I can find my painting I'll scan it and post it - it's very nice (the design, I mean. It's very 1920s in look)

    Guess I got lucky 15 years ago - my one and only visit and I found the inauguration poster no problem. I took photos, painted a reproduction and sold a few copies - no doubt some of the forum members have one. I gave one to the club and it used to sit beside the Barcelona Cup in the old Love Street trophy room.

  11. Things To Do Before You Die... In Bute

    in General Nonsense

    Been reminded about Poltalloch House, another place worth visiting in the Crinan / Moine Mhor / Kilmartin area. Not been for a couple of years so I'm not sure what kind of state it's in now but it was a proper old school haunted house when I last visited - the kind of place you read about in ghost books when you were a kid. It's an abandoned stately home, reclaimed by nature with trees growing through windows and all that kind of stuff. There's even an old ruined chapel nearby complete with ancient gravestones at jaunty angles! Best visited at night with torches for maximum effect, but even in daylight it's creepy as f**k

    From lochgilphead head out to Loch Sween, Cycle the crinnan cannal, Go see the cup and ring stones in Kilmartin glen. Visit Kilmory nap and see the old grave stones , Wee trip over to Ghigha and maybe Campbelltown, if you go that far you should definately head down to Southend. If your stuck in Campbeltown you can drive your car endlessly round the square like the natives.

    Carnaserie Castle Ardmore point, Luing Beavers at Taynish

    Great place if you get the weather

    At the top of Carnasserie Castle there's a fine collection of 19th century vandalism.

    Among the ornately carved 'tags' is one by a guy from Paisley, dated sometime in the 1800s.

    I'm sure I've got a photo of it somewhere, will try to find it..

  16. Rock Photography In Paisley

    in General Nonsense

    Posted · Edited by yani

    New exhibition of Harry Papadopoulos photography opens this Friday at the museum.

    Loads of great shots of Postcard era Scottish bands, a couple of cool Cramps pics, Bowie, Iggy, Marvin, Specials and, most interestingly, some pics of Paisley's punk scene from around 1980 (including a great photo of The Fegs with a 'Ha Ha Funny Polis' backdrop and at least one pic of the old Bungalow Bar).

    And it's free.

  17. St Mirren Exhibition Imminent

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    It should be good. There is a second person involved who is St.Mirren season ticket holder. Interested enough to have been at the ICT game on Sunday. As it's about Saints fans experiences feel free to contribute.

    It would be great if this was something worth seeing, but I'm afraid I can't get excited at the prospect.

    Leaving aside the fact that the exhibition will come at the end of what is shaping up to be the worst season in the club's history, it also feels like it's at least 2 years too late - the club's 135th birthday and League Cup win were perfect opportunities to stage something special that people would have been keen to see. This feels like something that's been arranged to fill a gap in the museum's calendar.

    Added to this, I've already discovered that many panels from the previous Saints exhibition will be recycled for this one, meaning there won't be anything new or exciting to see.

    It's a sad fact that the museum's collection contains no objects connected to St Mirren's history so any exhibition, like the previous one, has to rely on items being loaned by fans and many people are understandably reluctant to hand in anything of real value or interest.

    I just think there's no point in putting on something like this unless it's going to be something really special. I have serious doubts this one will be.

  18. St Mirren Exhibition Imminent

    For reasons I've yet to figure out, Paisley Museum is staging another Saints exhibition this July.

    It's being curated by a guy from the Observatory who has absolutely no interest in football and knows precisely nothing about St Mirren.

    Should be good.

    ETA the exhibition's named 'Back Of The Net'. Like I said, the guy knows nothing about St Mirren..

  19. This Is Your Life

    It's not just him.

    Among the accused and convicted of sexual assaults or worse - Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall, Dave Lee Travis, Cyril Smith ... who the f**k knows.

    This Is Your Life (Sentence For Your Victims).

    Jaw dropping.

    Tbh, I only skim read the list initially so didn't notice this lot were all on it.

    Gotta love the beeb..
