Awww. Major programme of my youth and a reminder that "minge" wasn't always a sweary word.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Probably my first exposure to Scottish nationalism.

It was pretty hardcore in that respect, Iain Cuthbertson as "The Scunner Campbell" and Billy Connolly doing the theme song. Enough to give Alex Salmond a boner.

[AGinAg (37)]

Gudrun was doing much more important work at the same age and doing her own stunts.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Was she related to MIDGE URE or is that a common Scottish name?

It's fairly common. It's derived from "Yewre", the ancient Scots word for "cunt".

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Is Midge Ure a notorious cunt or was Gudron?

The funny thing about Midge Ure is this: he was at secondary school with my dad, 4 years behind him. My dad is 78, Midge Ure is allegedly 70.

As far as I know Gudrun Ure was the salt of the earth, btw. It was just an off-colour joke.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She was a straight hottie back in her youth.

Mind you, I'd have had a go a 70s and 80s Midge Ure.

 

[big ron]

She had a gud run

Exceptional.

Oh my!
I used to watch Supergran in Greece when I was a child!!
98 is a good age to, I guess.
RIP
