@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialIn a very comfy alternate world, I split my time between this and the hoose from North By Northwest....
@centuriesofsound.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.social1929 - Bessie Smith - St Louis Blues A standalone performance on set with a story and a cast built around the song, is this the first music video? Cant think of anything with a better claim to the title. Even if you don't think so, what a performance!
@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialBrilliant! Looks great, Chris...
@theburnham.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialThat’s me on Sam Slade Robo-Hunter with Garth Ennis, Brian Reber, and Rob Steen! Featuring the Return of Kidd!! Ennis in his geeky reverential mode!
@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialTomorrow, 2pm! Join me and the mighty @andydiggle.bsky.social at Forbidden Planet Manchester for @2000ad.bsky.social's DAY of DREDD. You have to be there. After all, he is the law!
@lostglasgow.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialYou all so enjoyed last night's etching of Morrison's Court, here it is again, in 1948. The building facing Argyle Street, with the turnpike stair, was built around 1797, by John Morison, and was then on the extreme western edge of the city. Pic: Daily Record

@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialAww, thanks, Mary. Hope you're keeping well and had a good time @bloodyscotland.bsky.social. Unfortunately, couldn't make it this year, but it looked like a cracker of a festival as usual. Aye, things in the works, cheers for asking. Watch this space!
@lostglasgow.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialThis week, Frank's taking us to the flicks - and no the 'fancy flicks'! We're off doon a single stair to the Eglinton Electreum. Fleapit or fire-trap? You decide... Pic/text: 'The City That Disappeared - Glasgow's Demolished Architecture' by Frank Worsdall (1981
@pastglasgow.co.ukReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialThere are some photos you can practically smell, this is one of them. Taken at the corner of Jamaica and Clyde St (then Great Clyde St), it was part of a series taken in 1914 to highlight traffic congestion, and to support a parliamentary bill for tramway extension

@thisismyglasgow.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialAfter the first one opened on London Road in 1876, public bath and wash houses rapidly became a key part of life in Glasgow, and by 1914, there were 26 of them spread right across the city.

@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialVulcan, wow, now there's a blast from the past. Loved it at the time and still fond of a lot of those characters – mostly owned by Rebellion now, I guess?
@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialOnly seen it once – decades ago – but really enjoyed it.
@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialLovely stuff, Jonathan...
@drangelabuckley.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialToday I'm reading extracts from the memoirs of Detective Archie Carmichael, who served in the City of Glasgow Police from 1859 to 1900. A skilled investigator, his fascinating casebook demonstrates the detective strategies of the time, as well as offering a glimpse of Victorian Glasgow.
@lostglasgow.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialGlaswegians didn't need to go to Grenada to visit the Alhambra, they just had to walk along Wellington Street. This week finds Frank bemoaning the sad loss of what was the city's most modern and sophisticated theatre.
@oddthisday.bsky.socialReposted by @robbiemorrison.bsky.socialWell, if it’s 23 September... YES, THAT’S RIGHT! It’s the 72nd anniversary of the hunt for the Gorbals Vampire, in which hundreds of children aged from four to 14, armed with dogs, knives, and sharpened sticks went looking for an urban myth
@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialAs @2000ad.bsky.social gears up for its 50th Anniversary next year, I'll be taking part in the Day of Dredd on 3rd October, signing 2pm at Forbidden Planet International, Manchester, alongside @andydiggle.bsky.social. Be there or be square😉!
@robbiemorrison.bsky.socialBelated congratulations on the double win, Frances – gaun yersel'!
