Dillingers...who will admit?

[Action Man]

I admit it........I was there........not much recollection however.

[Scotty]

Me too ..... same lack of recollections too - something to do with Jimmy Terris' "Jelly Beans"

:drinking07: ... :drunk01: ...

[kaiser]

Ahh, and the speakeasy...

[Kingsmills]

Memories !

[Scotty]

remember when MTV was a novelty and they had it on screens in the other bar ....

[Action Man]

ZZ top and Def Leppard were the only bands worth watching on MTV at the time. :011:

[Scotty]

every time I ventured into that part of Dillies, it always seemd to be Dire Straits that was playing !!!

[Charles Bannerman]

I'm a bit old to have been a patron of Dillies. What was the place called before it became Dillies? Think I might have been in there once then but felt a bit aged even at that time.

[Scotty]

Was it not the Douglas Hotel before dillies ?

C'mon Charles - bet you were in there at least once - for journalistic reasons of course - !!!

[Guest Cotter]

Had some good nights in dillies & not to mention the hayloft :icon_ganja:

[caley100]

It was indeed the Douglas Hotel, had a good few nights in there...  it was in my mind responsible for the demise of the 'Caley' dance hall as night clubs took over.

The Caley was my first experience of dances, what with plastic glasses, sticky carpets, and trying to find a bird to walk home that didnt live at the other side of town!

[Charles Bannerman]

I well remember the Douglas Hotel but was it not called something else in between that and Dillies? Or was that between Dillies and the current Chinese restaurant?

[kaiser]

Whispers it was called for a brief spell, but it was already on its last legs by then.

[Action Man]

Firstly may I ask for a moments silence for the Hayloft.......it will  never be replaced. ( fair play to Wayne at the Ironworks for having a go! ) Secondly the Whispers thing...was I really that p*ssed that I never noticed the change! :017:

[Heilandee]

Going back to Dillingers.....were you at meh coming out do wi Simon Broon and a bus load fae Kinloss, ended up in Dillingers wi some folk no making it back!!

[Action Man]

The best I can do is acknowledge being aware that such an event may or may not have taken place and that I may or may not have been included in such an event. ( I didn't make it back). I do however admit to sharing a tent with the afore mentioned Mr Broon and may never recover from that episode!

[Heilandee]

Eh shared a hoose wi Mr Broon,an event from which eh will definatley not recover!!the only thing eh mind oh Dillingers wiz sticky carpets.....

[Action Man]

Probably caused by the afore mentioned Mr Broon! :naughty:

[Heilandee]

:015: :015: :015: whar did ya get his fotee?

[Action Man]

Police " wanted " poster. Do you know this man...... I lied!

[Moomkin]

Was Dillingers not across the road from the Chinese restaraunt with the 147 Club on top? My gray matter was much affected by Dillengers and the Tryst.  Come to think of it, that turned into an Indian Restaraunt as well!......is there a common link?! I was on my way out when Mr G's opened but can still remember the sticky carpets there and the unique ashtray bouquet!  Is that a restaurant now too (or still a meat market?).

[+L_G]

I was too young for the Douglas, but had a few underage nights in the Caley.

I have to admit that I was a regular in Dillingers for a few years. Not too many memories though

[Alistair]

Dillies was indeed the Douglas Hotel with the Pink Panther nightclub. I think it was also a failed private club called Cheval. Not sure of the dates though...

[Eye Settee]

The Douglas Hotel!! Loved it!!  I Remember " Strap" the barman, waiting for ages for my coat, the wee snug, falling down the stairs, getting off with......... oops, too much information!!
