For so many Christmas day must come to a juddering halt when Mrs Browns boys enters the TV fray.

Izzy and Willows first Christmas together. Hope everyone had a good day x.

Thank you Mani x

United should never have lost that today. Signs that Ruben is getting us more but there's no excuses for lazy defending.

I can't see Semenyo being enticed by the left wing back role at United.

Always

Makes me proud to live in Falkirk...

Brilliant show(again) from Cast and Pastel last night. They never fail to raise me. Love em. Corn exchange, Edinburgh is the perfect venue too. Park outside and drive away

More idiocy at the hunnery. Not a sadder support anywhere

The pain of watching modern United.

The work of contemporary Northjmbrian printmaker Rebecca Vincent ##ReframingWomenPrintmakers

In my corner of the bass-playing universe there was life pre- and post-Mani. He brought a liquid, melodic funkiness that EVERYONE copied. And when I finally met him he was exactly how you imagined him: joyful, generous, unstarry (& more of a star because of it) and wickedly funny. A life well lived

RIP Mani. The Cantona of the bass. Bloody sore one this. Thank you

It's a shite world. But the pure unadulterated joy of Scotland qualifying has been beautiful. Watching so many videos today that have put a smile on the face.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics. He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

No Banana Splits. No Animal Kwackers

A very bonkers Scottish evening

Seldom is a book matched by its adaptation. What’s seldom though is truly special. Trespasses by Louise Kennedy is a work of art in both genres. Brilliant adaptation by Ailbhe Keogan. Torn apart. Everyone on top form but Lola Pettigrew is quite extraordinary

Hampden in the sun. 1988. In there somewhere

Such a great album

Shite day at work. It would be to easy to "Spotify" The Smiths or Joy Division. No I'm going for some eighties glam. It's Duran Durans Rio. So there.

November

And the middle name is Mountbatten. Christ.

Wednesday incoming(when you've been off Monday and Tuesday).

I'm trying

RIP Dave Ball

The Huns referencing Daddy Cool by Boney M for their latest boss. What's next. Ma Baker, Rasputin, Mary's boy child. ? The mind boggles.

The Clown and the Wolfman

Monday incoming!

Listening to the wonderful Louis Theroux podcast. Michael Palin on the unused last supper monty python sketch. It would have been gold. "Can we book a table?"

Scottish Football always better with an unhealthy Rangers.

Penalty to Rangers

Listening to Stranded again. Early Roxy were just incredible
