Surely you must recognise yourself in the photo Jimmy, or is it one of these low light numbers ? And well done Jackie, for managing to take some photos that do not feature Mr Murphy.

Just to let you all know NG is doing my last set of photo's and just to ease your minds there's none of Charlie or Sting just me and my EK friends.

I have a funny feeling that the SS mob would have destroyed any photographic evidence of their dark deeds in case it incriminated them in the future.

Here that would be a whole website on it's own, ha ha! Mind you
Livi has his own set of spare front door keys to let himself into most
Police Stations in Scotland!!!! Ho, ho!!

myself, there's more photos of Sting in Jackies photos than me, the
competition is hotting up!!! Sting has a Scooter named after him picture
304 in Jackie's photos, I don't bah humbug!!

No more photies of Charlie please. He is already in about 600 of Jackie's. The site will surely collapse with being overburdened Li Li !

I suppose I'm going too have to scan Charlies photos now of the EEM does this site really need more pictures of Mr Charles ?

Great photos especially as I can identify the background in a few.

I'v looked at these photo's loads of times but somehow I have not posted a comment on them.

I remember all the guys from Sighthill (obviously) and its great that someone actually took a few snaps from that time. Everything that we took for granted is changing. Sadly some of the Sighthill Glory Boys are now no longer with us, and two of the blocks of flats at the bottom of Sighthill are also no longer there. I spoke to Rab at the run out and told you, but I'll say again on site that the photo's are great, and well done for sending them in for us all to enjoy. Also to Jimmy it is a good choice of music as Secret Affair were very popular with most people then.

Hi Div, thanks again for taking the time to source the rare stuff and thanks for the encouragement, running a large website does take up some time. I am delighted though that a lot of folks are getting some enjoyment out of it.... Also at least now we have an outlet to show the youngsters what it is all about and help with an alternative today. Let charlie know when you have the cine footage and he will get it over to me for converting, we have all the trickery and machinery to take anything and have it displayed on the website........

Re: CranHill Mods - Robert McTear

Charlie — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:40:46 -0000

Cheers for that Mr Malcolm, I can remember seeing the cine footage at The Scene of Rex showing off his injuries,that would be a trip and a half to see it again! A huge thanks Mr Malcolm Jimmy and I appreciate all your help,WE ARE THE MODS! God bless.

Charlie still trying to see about some cine film of scene club regulars filmed on scooters at the dock side when wee Rex fell off his scooter and cut his back it was then shown in the scene club later.
All the best Davie Malcolm

Hello Charlie

Remember Geo Clarke very well and he help me get my old 150 Super on the road. He did join the Foriegn legion but like all the others I don't know where he is today. Prenty's LD is in the Easter Egg run photo I sent and is on the web-site. it's cream with suede seats. Looks the part. All the best mate and to Jimmy keep up the good work.
Cheers
Robert
