Shaun stop nodding n looking out the side of Ur eye, looks weird

[@stuart73m]

@@davym23 It must be a part of his character that he isn't aware of therefore he won't be able to stop doing so, it isn't something iv actually paid attention to and certainly dont find it annoying. We all have our own little habits that we are unaware of so unless it takes away any value on his excellent podcasts I count such a comment invalid IMO, Good day.

Blink contact me maybe I can help you legit in my work or even just help out taking you an family for a meal I’m up there quite a lot. You are my Dad’s double in attitude and genuinely decent fella. I bet you’ve got stories that could last about a week without stopping lol

[@dylanwestyorkshire4049]

If blink can get in touch ASAP I’d love to help and it could help Shaun. In fact I need to buy the audio book. I know this is going to be food. Just be yourself because it’s just as easy to speak normal for them to work it our lol

Really been looking forward to this one Ian Blink Mcdonald great story teller so glad to see him doing so well. Just watched from Start to Finish. Gripping yet again. I would love to see a film made of Ian's story with the Spanish Hotel scene included I think it would be a Blockbuster. Thankyou Sean and Ian had a great afternoon watching this 😀.

[@Wearethewingmakers]

You’ll need to get him on on a monthly basis to cover all his stories, the guys quality could listen to him all night!

[@grizzer30]

Love listening to Blink McDonald talking, great at telling his stories

[@pauldorman1355]

When Ian speaks about how other podcast interviewers show disrespect to their guests by shouting etc I think we all know who he means by this this particular interviewer really needs to learn how to speak properly and professionally to the people who have been good enough to come on his show and tell their story even though he ends up talking about himself anyway. Great interview really enjoy listening to Mr Blink

[@stephenjg8881]

As a fellow glaswegian , blinks a top guy well known and feared not to be messed with. Of the old school. Alot of respect for the guy. Fellow rangers man aswell

[@BritishBoy1971]

Ian 'Blink' MacDonald is an ace character. It's a shame we can't see him on a weekly basis, as he must have so many stories from his life to tell. Keep up the good work Shaun! 🙂👍

Excellent interview Shaun love listening to the Glasgow Underworld as a Jock myself iv read all Paul Ferris books hopefully Shaun can persuade Paul Ferris to come on the podcast 🙏 cheers Dean

[@cyril1sm]

Really great Interview. I think Ian is on the right side of understanding life experience. Shaun, your stuff is great. I think your experiences in life have allowed you to fully understand life's pain but you have come on and enjoy life. That is striking. The interview with Paul Ferris is just astounding. It's not easy when you have had a hard beginning in life. I really respect Paul Ferris - you know! Ian it is great to hear your stories. Really good. - and remember we are only here for a very short time. Shaun - I have a story to tell about my life and maybe one day I will put it together and you can speak with me. Take care Ian and Shaun.

[@cyril1sm]

Hi Shaun, thank you for acknowledgement. I will get my act together. There is a book and an interview in me somewhere. I want to one day lay out the whole truths in my life, but it will be done in the correct order. Order is so important as - let's say- if we have ten boxes of truths and you re-arrange those boxes - you can destroy the reality to suit your agenda. If I am allowed to explain in order, you will see a natural course of events. Most life experiences in reality are a natural (sometimes sad) course of events. If I write my stuff down and you publish- you better have your printing presses ready - as my book will fly out the door. What you and others do is to allow a fair response to emasculation in life. Don't forget me as I will look to someone like you to emancipate my feelings. Take care - Cyril

[@acousticmotorbike2118]

I like when you interview gangsters who are honest and see the folly of their lives. Yes I love the humour and the stories but I enjoy them least when It's just a bragging parade for individuals who haven't accepted the misery and pain they put many people through. Just because we had a past doesn't mean we don't have a future. Hopefully this will be honest without gloating.

[@MrDavevo76]

Yes I think your spot on there,I think you clearly pointed out the difference between those born into it and those who have watched too many films!

I'll vouch for Blink here. (no that I have to btw.) I was in A-Hall in Barlinnie at the time, awaiting to be allocated to an LTP nick. The place was like a hornets nest. Honestly! The windows were like the steamy at night. (Glaswegian for the old wash house) At recreation the phones were buzzing with the old man's associates. (The serious crime squad must've been rubbing their hands.) Funnily enough, I ended up in the same work party as the elusive Mr X in HMP Perth. That was a strange 🎣 btw!
