Great memories of the Picc,workers sitting by the open window looking out at the beach every afternoon listening to Blondie,Fleetwoodmac etc and George's last record of the night was? Can anyone remember it,what about you George do you remember. Gus your so right that was the year of the Greenock Mafia,I had 6 great new years on the trot in Scotland thanks to meeting all you lot,we used to meet up in a bar called Burns Hough (spelling could be wrong) in Bath Street. Ended up in Dunoon one year,would never change a thing.

Welcome Ian, Hows that arm after the time I knocked you down with the Londoner van delivering grog to the Duke. You were the best one-armed photographer in Lloret for a while. I'm sure Jill Mckay will know where Smoothie is(probably Holland) All the best Shuggie Kelly

Hi I'm Peter Wilson I worked in Llorett from '86-'88. Started in the Sportsman with Jimbo and then on to Sweeny's with Davie's Sinclair & Baxter, Biscut, Jose and Wee Ronnie who used to strut around like a poor man's Peter Stringfellow. Then Derick (Manolo)rescued me and took me too Nicky Tams 2 (was Dirty Dicks) as the pub DJ, where I stayed for the rest of my time in Lloret. I come across this site by total accident and I have had a great time looking at the old photo's and the pieces that others have contributed. I've left my e-mail on my profile, so if anyone would like to get in touch, then please do so. I see that the other Nicky's DJ, Raymond, has been on the site so if you are reading this you old sexual deviant, get in touch! 10/10 to whoever started up this site, you've made an old man very happy. Many thanks X.

Just a thought - there are a lot of people on this site that i know, and some that i don't. I can't at the moment post any photos etc because i havn't got the right equipment, but i am on facebook (under Malc coombs, not Malcolm Coombs) so if anyone wants to get in touch then please do so as as much as anything it would be nice to see what you(now)look like. Cheers, Malc.

Malc, get yourself on to facebook I added you as a friend and no reply.
I Know I have only known you since 1975 but I figured we might call ourselves friends by now. Can you remember the first time we went to Lloret, 1976 I think, stupid punters but what a great time we had.
;D

Hi Ian, I can't believe Shannon is all grown up now, will tell Lucie. Lucie is 23 now, doesn't seem that long ago that she was pushing Shannon on the swing!!! Hope you are all well and that you will make the reunion, wouldn't be the same without you lol. My computer is bust too at the moment, have to try and get on at work when I get a minute which isn't always easy. Keep in touch. x

Ian, how're you doing. I'm fine and as you said got hitched a couple of years ago. Haven't seen Archie but see Charlie Mayo,Pommie,Kipper, Wee Daz and Mally Rabbit. I'm probably in Glasgow soon so will give Andy and wee Mo a bell and hopefully meet up with them again in town. Whereabouts in Holland are you?
