Merry Christmas to all you radical left wing scum out there 🎄🥂🎅🤣🤣🤣

Merry Christmas everybody Pic of Teddi dressed up like a haddie

Watching British occult horror A Dark Song. It’s from 2016 and, as far as I can see, it’s director Liam Gavin’s only feature film credit which is a/ surprising and b/ a pity.

A rare action (leaping) shot of my dog Teddi wearing her red winter, er, jumper

Yesterday I hadn’t seen Suspiria although I’d heard a lot about it. Today I now have. Do I feel my life has been enriched in any way? Not particularly, no. encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn...

Watched The Ninth Gate last night. I like a Satanic horror film so don’t know why I’ve never seen this before. I enjoyed it although can’t claim to have figured out what it all means. I had forgotten it was a Roman Polanski film until the closing credits. It’s not Rosemary’s Baby but then,what is?

I see The Swimmer is on Film4 at 7.30. Now there’s a film.

Bugonia, huh? Watched it blind (no reviews/online opinions) I don’t know what to make of it tbh, but I think it’s good. Maybe 🤷‍♂️🤣 theatrgwaun.com/wp-content/u...

Watching the latest footage of ‘Melania’…. youtu.be/XDBJAn1vgSM?...

Rewatched L.A. Confidential on the back of seeing some positive comments recently like it’s been rediscovered. Great great film and better than some more highly rated films imo.

Brexit Party MP lives in…. France Takes money from….Russia. I see. Farage et al, shameful grifters one and all www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

RIP the great Jimmy Cliff. youtu.be/FHAbj1pIT4g?...

I’ll always have a soft spot for The Wild Swans.

The Long Walk. I was really gripped by this, an original idea, well drawn characters and Stephen King’s trademark ear for dialogue.

The Stone Roses certainly defined a certain time and a place and a style. RIP Mani

For once

Anyway the fun stops now… 🤞

It’s all there for Scotland tonight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I’m the most pessimistic Scotland fan ever, usually got the enthusiasm levels about our chances of Eeyore. Call me crazy but I’ve got a wee sneaking positive feeling about tonight 🤞

I hear far right cat leader Tabby Robinson is organising a protest of British cats, going to take to the streets en masse, pee and shit everywhere to take back our country European wildcats could be seen again in England for first time in 100 years www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Some genuinely chilling moments in Pluribus episode 1 and I did enjoy it. But my fear is, has too much happened in the first episode, has it gone too far too soon 🤷‍♂️

Saskatchewan art news about Joni Mitchell paintings: "Every inch of her living room walls are covered with her extraordinary paintings which she's planning to donate to a museum in Saskatoon by the Saskatchewan River when she...rejoins the stars." (Allison Russell). WOW! #yxe

15. Postcard Scotland’s finest export. And an unrepeatable moment in time.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Elon Musk, Robert fucking Kennedy Jnr, Joe fucking Rogan, Kid Rock, Kanye West, Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, Roseanne Barr, Kelsey Grammar, James Woods …. your boys took a helluva beating !!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤘🤣🤣🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Happy Halloween. Bauhaus live ( or, at least, undead) at Coachella in 2005… youtu.be/w9DPEkguMqE?...

Yip it was a YoYo

Ah, Dave Ball. Electronic pioneer extraordinaire and with Marc Almond the absolute master of the 12 inch single. Soft Cell were brilliant. RIP youtu.be/tm-_SyUgLSE?...

Said goodbye to my wee mum for the very last time today. We will all miss her 💔

A picture that speaks louder than any words

Watched and can recommend the John Candy documentary I Like Me. Touching contributions by Tom Hanks, Steve Martin and especially Bill Murray. A thoroughly decent fellow by all accounts

Nico, born on this day youtu.be/svYqI1PvcpM?...

Isn’t she lovely. I never fell in love with a movie character the way I fell in love with Diane Keaton as Annie Hall. Charm personified, always wanted to meet a girl like her. RIP 💔

Why is it seemingly now de rigueur for fans of The Beatles to take to social media and contend that the Fab 4 are somehow “underrated” 🤷‍♂️

It’s dawned on me if Sandie Shaw had been the actual lead singer of The Smiths I’d probably still be listening to their records today. This is fab youtu.be/WVZHIgGWuRE?...

The Dude abides. I don’t know about you but I take comfort from that. It’s good to know he’s out there taking her easy for all us sinners

If like me you’ve got a nostalgic soft spot for the old Carry On films (although should know better etc etc 😉 ) I recommend this informative and entertaining podcast. I did though look up the full list of titles & think I’ve seen fewer than half of them 🤷‍♂️ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

Reposting Kathy Burke’s, it says here, fucking, er, book in the hope I’ll be her random winner 🤞

Oh Sinners, why did you??? The set up, the first half was sooo good, note perfect, intriguing, the possibilities seemed endless.

This will be worth listening to

Once went to a restaurant in Paris with only 3 tables in a living room. Now beaten by this little gem in Hamilton. Funky interior, 2 (two) tables only!, really friendly staff and food a taste sensation. Recommended

God, this has always been the biggest earworm for me. Listen to it once, im literally humming it for a week. The late great Robert Palmer who died on this day in 2003 youtu.be/7_SAMrDnXOE?...

Bryan Ferry’s birthday. One of my favourite Roxy singles, first came across it when it was used to great effect in the film Times Square youtu.be/vXOgQN1a7bE?...

Someone in Cumbria dies by suicide every 5 days. We need a whole community response to tackle this. Today I took the Orange Button suicide prevention training. This equips us with the confidence, knowledge and skills to start lifesaving conversations. Here to talk anytime 🟠

Partially filmed in my home town Strathaven (Stra’ven) the acting from a very strong cast lifts Coldwater a good few notches above your routine psycho next door drama

Stooges … Wanna Be Your Dog So damn right

As Saturday night tunes go….Love Like Blood by Killing Joke ….

The sheer utter majesty of David Bowie’s Low. Absolutely breathtaking genius. Sleeve pride of place on my wall, album on turntable

Just watching an old episode of TOTP and this came up. What an eccentric bonkers performance. Fucking magnificent youtu.be/8lbW4eFBIRY?...
