A whole 12 years of that whole working with trains thing. Here’s a high quality picture.

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance today Every year, hundreds of trans people pass away through anti trans violence, suicide lack of available healthcare to name just a few of the most common causes This is far, far more than any other LGBTQIA+ group and that's just the ones we know we've lost

Had to give a train coupler a big cuddle yesterday. Can you tell?

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥 Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

WE’RE GONNAE DEEP FRY YER LEGO

Does this count as Munro Bagging?

“Spend money or you’re ruining Christmas” “If you complain about our prices, you’re a grinch”

It’s been a while since I was in the journalism game (was I ever in it?) but I’ve nabbed a wee scoop: the second of Tasmania’s beleaguered ferries have arrived in Scotland. Spirit of Tasmania V arrived in the Forth Estuary in the early hours. She’s expected to dock in the port of Leith on Thursday.

Just spent a delightful afternoon on one of my company’s simulators. This was my face when I’d just finished dealing with a virtual train fire, only to be served with a virtual car on the virtual tracks.

Virgin made their name and empire by being bold, taking risks, doing things differently. Today, they’ve won the rights to run cross-channel trains by…doing the same as Eurostar.

A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

Is this not a pretty solid demonstration that the established political parties are the issue, as opposed to the new opposition?

It’s the long awaited next instalment of New Pin Badge day.

The railway chaplains have a lot to answer for.

1993: Stephen Lawrence is murdered by racists. 1999: The MacPherson Inquiry recommends recording of non-crime hate incidents. 2005: After the Discrimination Law Review, non-crime hate incidents begin being recorded by UK police. 2025: Mainstream transphobia ends a harm reduction policy that worked.

A parcel for me arrived from Greece earlier. I can’t think of a better way to explain this other than it *smells* of Greece inside the package. And it’s not cocaine.

New phone camera test

My name is Angus and I photoshop my cats into things

Trapped in bed by a cat who has decided that this is the perfect time and place to clean her sphincter.

I don’t do social media like I used to, I no longer spew my life on here. Anyway, my best friend and I got married two weeks ago. No, you’re not seeing the photos and all three of my chins.

Old news with a hint of scaremongering from The National here. This leak was reported by the nuclear regulator last year and no increase in radioactivity in groundwater has been detected. www.thenational.scot/news/2552519...

I don’t think I’ve seen a Superfast ferry in 20 years, since they stopped coming to Scotland

Hell is other tourists.

My grandparents got me this hat when they went on a Greek ferry 20 years ago. I thought it was only appropriate to bring it on my honeymoon, sailing with the same firm.

Accidentally booked the American Tourist Hotel. Website offered upgrade to room with Acropolis view. Get to room - view only possible by leaning over side of balcony. Great views of “Lido Dream Girls Bar”, “Babylon Strip Show” and “Kinky Opera House”, however.

Just watching ferry to Syros arrive

Greece.

I just want to make clear that I had zero involvement in picking the hotel, which overlooks a shipping channel.

I’m in my happy place: a roll on roll off car ferry in international waters with an ample supply of Coke Zero.

We’re going on an adventure.

In Athens. Current stray cat count is seven.

Reminder that the last time a major US network fired a comedian for accurate statements was when Norm MacDonald was booted from SNL for calling OJ Simpson a murderer. youtu.be/pdZUmZFaBz8?...

*TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

Watched the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got him suspended…wow. Not insensitive in the slightest, just embarrassing for the president. Which is why he’s gone.

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.

My first Czech noisy train adventure was six years ago today. It spawned an addiction and love for Central Europe.

Right, own up, which one of you woke Willow?

Nothing like going to pick up cat litter at 1am

There’s a few problems with this front page: 1. The South Sub line never closed - it’s open right now 2. It’s used by 30 freight trains a day which would otherwise have to go through the congested Waverley and Haymarket stations 3. The tram pictured is not an Edinburgh tram - it’s from Sheffield

Moody, moist Edinburgh

Woken at some point in the night by idiot cat licking one of my exposed toes. Just what you want when your alarm is set for 0220.

The local nuclear power station looks pretty in the morning

We’re revising.

PSA for American tourists: nobody calls Highland Cows “hairy coos” - I’ve seen so many social posts calling them this.

#WorldPhotographyDay Here’s 20 photos I’ve taken in the last 12 months. More at Flickr.com/angus_duncan

It’s quite nice having a somewhat scenic photo spot 3 mins from the house. @125.group

I love the sound of a VP185 in the evening @125.group

*waves at @125.group* Framing for the first shot didn’t work out, second one wasn’t bad.
