I can't believe that Trump is going to try to sue our national heritage for $5billion. We might have to sell the original Bagpuss to pay for that.

I'n going for some cardiac checks on Tuesday morning as part of a clinical trial that I'm involved in. ECG, both resting and exercising, blood pressure etc. Luckily it's in the morning because by mid afternoon they will be all over the place.

The thing is, the Greeks did not like a high press, What the hell were we doing for 40 minutes?

Time for Clarke to change things up. #gresco

Honkin' but still in it. That's how they keep us on the hook. #gresco

Logan Chalmers is better than Gannon-Doak

These players get on the coach and have the confidence physically sucked out of them. It's the only answer. #gresco

Delighted to hear that wee Robbo is as good at singing as I am. #gresco

Me and the cat had a bonding experience earlier. He's an old guy and I dread losing him, but he's slowing down. From hating being carried, he's now appreciative of a helping hand. Just like his dad.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?

I know this is old man yells at cloud but there is something in the constitution about this

NEWS! Children in Need celebrates raising less than half the amount Michelle Mone still owes the government for faulty PPE

Only Facebook translating Ts'oanelo Lets'osa from Romanian(?) to English as he came on a substitute in tonight's game.

Finishing off the stash of sweets that we buy just in case we get kids visiting at Halloween. We need to talk about how treat size Haribo are tarnishing the brand.

So far, the Epstein releases are confirming what we already knew, that Trump is a very bad man. We knew that from "grab em by the pussy", the mocking of a disabled reporter, and the 2020 election "steal", amongst many other things. And that's why all of this hoo-haa changes nothing.

Watching PMQs on the news and lots of MPs are still wearing poppies. Don't they know it's now Baby Jesustide?

I post this regularly on Armistice Day. This is the man who probably saved my father's life.

I've worked on various tenant projects in Argyle House, as well as often visiting it in the days of the Property Services Agency. A building of its time, loved by fans of brutalism, despised by most, but regardless, endlessly fascinating for architecture historians.

We get the politics the few pay for. #democracy - it would be a good idea www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There's a ninth tier Scottish football ground near my house and the noise from it today has been incredible. My wife was out for a walk and reports that it is three lads, a megaphone, and a drum. Fill in your own punchline...

Radio Scotland has invented time travel. Two guys from the 80s are doing a football chat show right now.

This is good, worthy, and inspiring, particularly if, like me, you are #T1D

Yesterday, I made a long promised and much delayed trip to the Dundee V&A. A brilliant building. 21st century but with aspects of brutalism in its concrete shell. I hadn't realised that the fins are precast concrete and the exterior skin is cast insitu.

I took my first trip on an Ember electric intercity bus yesterday from Edinburgh to Dundee. I liked it. Fast-ish, comfortable seating, great WiFi, and very quiet.

An observation. Every time @partickthistle.bsky.social have a chance to draw level at the top of the table, the pundits say "this is a chance to draw level". If there is a next time please just say nothing.

BBC bad language apology incoming...

Not nice, but objectively quite funny

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

The aftermath of last night's fireworks on the local football pitch. Tyre tracks and abandoned sandbags along with various other debris. It could have been worse I guess. I now have two bags of sand for the community garden.

I can't stop thinking about this from yesterday. The Scottish Police Federation wilfully smashing apart a public enquiry, with a media conference in front of Police Scotland's logo, and an interview of a witness by their own solicitor. We will never know the truth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some local people just set off an industrial quantity of fireworks on the football pitches behind my house. Possibly the same people that would complain about the lack of decent quality football pitches.

I like this. Some may not, being reminded that they are perhaps not the greatest of pub patrons. But taking back the empty glasses is essential IMO, as is saying thanks to whoever clears glasses from your table when one of your group is not a woke glass take-backer.

A lot of fathers and suns get involved for #Movember every year, Kingsley was looking good back in November 2016. £983 of £1800 target raised by the PTFC boys so far: uk.movember.com/team/2487808

I see that #BBC Question Time is so shit and so little watched that the BBC have had to make trailers for it and show them between more popular shows.

You always get a free mini vampire slayer kit with a tub of rollmop herrings.

I've just made some chilli jam with some homegrown chillis. It's always a lottery how hot it will be, but six chillis go a long way. This year's is a little bit on the hot side, but far from overpowering.

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Quoting ourselves here, but it’s absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:

There's a couple of people in this Movember team who have a head start, and a couple who I think will struggle to grow anything in a month.

In the old days in Scotland, this would have been apples, tangerines, monkey nuts, and all the other various nuts, including the brazil, from which the tiniest sliver of nutrition could be extracted only after smashing it with a hammer in exasperation, causing shards to fly in all directions.

There's no point in watching #HIGNFY tonight since the week's biggest news story broke too late. Next week might be fun.

"Dear Sir, Your good name has been bought to my attention as a trustworthy man and a believer in God. I am the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My mother left me forty-five million pounds and the city of York but I am unable ..."

I heard there was a title available and thought I'd give it a try

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

My OH is having some friends over this evening. The house tidying is to Olympic qualifying standards. The book I'm reading is now in a bookcase. The gloves I wore this morning are in a drawer. Even the device chargers are hidden away, who knows where? I need to keep moving, just in case.

I'm still annoyed that Thistle didn't lay a glove on Celtic a few weeks ago. They were never going to be any weaker. No surprise that they have opened the biscuit tin to force Rodgers out.
