Today's the day the UK gets season 17. It's getting binged 😁

Book 12 of 2025. NY resolution ✅️ Might have read 12+ anyway, but it's kept me reaching for books Plenty on the pile to get through before the year's end Like his 1st book, a v interesting read. Not sure if "enjoyed" is the right word -quite grim reading how much better the prison system could be

Book 11 of 2025 NY resolution to read at least 12 getting smashed Keeping wee run of brilliant Scottish novels going. Long time since I read any Brookmyre and not sure why that is An excellent read. Flew through it, & loved the overlap with my interests (metal music, horror films, Scots humour)

Book 10 of 2025. The excellent debut novel by Chris McQueer. Raced through it in a couple of days. A captivating read and sadly feels all too real.

Book 9 of 2025. Not sure i should even count that. Glad I borrowed it from the library rather than bought it; a tiny short story that I had finished in about 10 mins. Helps tide me over until The Rose Field finally arrives in October 😁

Buzzing for this. Book was brilliant. Hopefully as good an adaptation as The Martian. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Book 8 of 2025. As tremendous as I've come to expect from @nivenj1.bsky.social Raced through it in a few days, snorting laughing and choking up.

Marr autobiography (very good) skelped just in time for the new one from my favourite author @nivenj1.bsky.social landing. Not long started it and already snorting like a fucking pig in a way only Niv can make me. Cannae wait to tear through this.

Book 7 of 2025 Can't tell u how much I love The Smiths. Great reading about how they wrote their songs Even better was the chapter on his album with Modest Mouse: a top 10 of all time for me, & something i have a tattoo of on my elbow! On course to tick off a NY resolution (read 12 books in 2025)

Watched this in one sitting while recovering from a 24 hour fundraiser run I did yesterday. The most ambitious comedy production I've ever watched. Has to be seen to be believed. Only Nathan Fielder could conceive or pull this off. Wow. 👏

In about an hour, I'll start running round the field at Arran High School, and won't stop moving until 24 hours has passed - all to raise funds for AYF Best place for updates will be www.facebook.com/ArranYouthFoundations All donations very much appreciated 🙏 justgiving.com/page/ayf24ho...

Book 6 of 2025. Picked this up at a screening of The Room last week. Very easy read that had me laughing out loud so many times. Really enjoyed that - would happily have read lots more Tommy stories.

Book 5 of 2025. Pretty well on course to tick NY resolution (12 books in 25) Really well researched, detailed, evocative book Leaves you feeling you knew the victims, understood some of the trauma that shaped the perpetrators, understood how they were caught etc Good recommendation from the sis

Very worthy winners. Most aggressive press I've seen from a team in ages. They're excellent. So attacking, quick, positive with every pass. Best winning performance i remember. They were pretty much perfect.

"Oh hi Mark!" Another live screening of The Room at The GFT. Always a riotous night. Got ma spoons ready.

Book 4 of 2025. Absolutely love this man. A hero, icon, role model, someone I massively aspire to emulate in a lot of ways. Batshit crazy - some of his stories just have me laughing out loud in awe.

Thursday 12th June. Running 24 hours, aiming for 100 miles. All for a good cause. justgiving.com/page/ayf24ho... #running #run #parkrun

On 12.06.25, I'll be running for 24 hrs to raise funds for AYF I'll be doing loops of the high school field, which is about 300m round. My aim is to run 100 miles (500 loops) Link in comments

If you want to cry big bubbly tears, try and catch Gabby Logan's interview with the dads of the Southport victims who are running the London Marathon. Fucking hell. Good on them.

Fucking hell Rory did that the hard way

To coin a @nivenj1.bsky.social , DeChambeau fully just pulling his scants down and logging all over the course here

Book 3 of 2025. The Fellowship Of The Ring. Tolkien might have intended for it to be one book, but the publisher split it into 3 and I'll be counting the next parts as books 4 & 5! Still holds up as a fantastic adventure. Bloody loved this as a teenager. Still do as an adult.

Rereading Lord Of The Rings at the moment. Just gave the missus about 30 seconds of chat about some of the differences between the books and the film. In 23 years together, I have never seen her look less interested in something I was saying...

Just saw a guy walking about Perth with a hoody that says "Calling police? They won't unrape you" 😐 What a fucking nae-richter. Hope he's on a list.

Steven Gerrard looking at the fixture list on his flight in to Glasgow

Bilbo Baggins with an assortment of the most passive-aggressive gifts ever...

Book 2 of 2025. S2 probably my least favourite series of the TV show. Book was decent fare. Quite different from the show in places. Enjoying these books but now have a notion after a recent rewatch to dig out LOTR for another spin, so that'll be books 3, 4 & 5!

Just when you thought Drake couldn't lose any harder. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Going in to see my sports masseuse for first time in over a year. No stretching in that time. No strength work. Just thousands of KMs of pounding the tarmac. Pray for me. 😭

Book 1 of 2025. One of my NY resolutions was to read 12 books this year. Likely read more anyway but wanted to commit to at least a dozen. Had enjoyed the TV show. The fact the book was still gripping despite me knowing the story speaks to how well-written and tightly-plotted it is.

Started watching "Catastrophe" with Jen the other day. Been on list to watch ever since I read the life-changingly wonderful "A Heart That Works" by @robdelaney.bsky.social Raced through first season of it. Both main stars are brilliant in it and lots of good supporting cast too.

Inject every Ange Postecoglu interview straight in to me. Cannae get enough of him being upset and angry and annoyed. Guy is a massive fucking bellend and he's getting found out big time. Asks for respect but treats every interviewer dreadfully.

Every year I mess with my mum's nativity scene, & this year is no different.

One thing no one warns you about parenthood is that every piece of paper that your children so much as mark has to then be privately assessed against criteria that includes artistic merit and sentimentality, before being stored or secretly fucked in the bin.

I feel like the makers of toasters and the makers of bread could definitely get together and hash the size thing out if they wanted to.

TIME choosing Donald Trump, a sex offender, as Person of the Year when they could have chosen this woman. Shameful.

Grand Theft Hamlet tonight with my pal Bruce at the Glasgow Film Theatre. In parts a moving documentary on lockdown struggles, but mostly just hilarious. As absurd as it sounds.

Kids have buggered up top songs and podcasts as they do each year. There was only going to be 1 winner in the Top Artist - Soft Play were the soundtrack to my year. FE&E boys skooshed the Top Podcast competition. Tuesdays wouldn't be same without them!

Saw The Contestant at @glasgowfilmtheatre.bsky.social last night with a few friends, then on to Bloc+ for a bite to eat. Good night - film needs to be seen to be believed! Televised cruelty.

11yo off school. Being made to play Fortnite duos with him, having never really played. 2 victory royales from 2 games. Me right now.

Kneecap taking the UK Govt to court to reverse a Tory decision to block their arts funding. Winning their £14K back then immediately donating it to 2 youth organisations who work with Protestants & Catholics. With DJ Próvaí attending court in his balaclava 🇮🇪 The things you love to see! 🤣

AirPods when you gently push them further into your ear: pause? play? do you want to skip this track? and the next? is that what you want to do, you fucking idiot?! AirPods when you then try to purposefully touch them to get your music playing again: ...

He's properly had his scants pulled down here 🤣 Imagine losing this badly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Due to the awful weather conditions, l've just visited our 85 year old neighbour to ask if she needed anything from the shops. Turns out she did, so l've given her my list too... no point in both of us walking out on the icy pavements. 🥶

Never has the influence of 2Pac on Kendrick Lamar been more obvious than on 'reincarnated' What a tune and what a fucking album! 👏

He's making a list, He's checking it twice, He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice, Santa Claus is in contravention of Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Police saying essential travel only. Me watching Killie every weekend is essential travel. 🫡

Always has been, always will be. About halfway through a full leg tattoo sleeve!
