An egg thrown at me

Bleedin' scumbags!

You did the right thing by staying over the other side of the road. Getting into a scrap with kids is so different now. They all will steam in and the chances are one of them will have a blade of somekind.

I was driving with my G/F when a ball was kicked at my car, I stopped to get out, she screamed at me to stay in the car. We had a row over that as I wanted to give them a slap.

Later we agred it was better for us to have a row rather than her buring me. Sounds harsh but it is becoming reality.

What's all this slagging Govan??.........

Worst thing I had thrown at me was what appeared to be recently used condom - going on the splat sound it made and the hysterical laughter of the guy and girl that threw it - but that was Castlemilk..... I suppose that's not that dissimilar really, lol......

Another Glasgow in the late 60s/early 70s story was when I fell of my bike while taking avoiding action of a rat the size of a terrier outside the Meadowside Grannary. In my pre and early teens I'd cycle down river to where my dads ship would be unloading and then ride the ship back up river to where it would tie up.

PS I first cycled through the Clyde Tunnel, 30+ years ago!

I played 11s in a summer league on the pitch opposite Ibrox for a few months one year. It's true the folk I met were just folk really, but at the same time I always made sure I parked my car in sight of the pitch!
