About time Carmel McCourt got shown some love and appreciation on here. What a voice! #WeekendSingles #Vinyl #MusicSky

The Old Oak, 2023. Ken Loach’s final film, on iPlayer atm. Syrian refuges land in a battered North East village. Big messages on kindness, xenophobia & hope. Some clunky acting & clumsy plot in parts - but also some powerful & emotional moments. Ken’s 89 now and retired. An actual national treasure.

Oooft. Early #WeekendSingles contender spotted in the wild youtu.be/la2hgOrYQms?...

Clocking off in half an hour 😮‍💨

Mountbattered Windsor. Karma’s a bitch, eh

Sheesht. Don’t binge watch just before bedtime is my tip. Unless you want some seriously weird dreams…

Fair

Taken myself voluntarily through the looking glass 😵‍💫

Stewart Lee was brilliant tonight: "If you're unsure of which toilets you can use feel free to shit in a bag and mail it to Graham Linehan, he sorts through them by hand"

Sick of this BS now. Just imagine for a minute that a female had done the embezzling and the husband was the one who hadn’t clocked on. The woman would still be the one getting it in the neck. Absolute misogynist bullshit. Fuck off.

When you're lost without a clue And the distance turns to blue I'll fix it for you Cheers all 🙏🏼🍻

Birnam Oak October 2025 - May 2026 🍂🌱

Ardmair Point in the Highlands, many years ago. Great to just find this beauty on the beach. Wish I hadn’t mucked about with Instagram filters though. Do have the original unadulterated pic squirrelled away somewhere!

For those in Edinburgh and environs, I'll be chatting about In Another World: The Four Seasons of Talk Talk with Nicola Meighan at Topping & Co Booksellers this Monday, June 1st, at 7pm. Come along if you can, it will be fun. www.toppingbooks.co.uk/events/edinb...

*nearly

Cheers all. It’s* the weekend! 🌞🍻

Such a mess, this. Binning Nicola Meighan from the airwaves, the very finest Arts broadcaster in the country is absolutely unforgivable - and totally baffling. Relentless race to the bottom to find some imaginary demographic. Nuts.

“In his late teens, my husband briefly explored Buddhism and had a symbol tattooed on his arm during that period”

Oh good… look who’s back

One of these auld gadgies was 68 yesterday.

Some photos I’ve noticed from yesterday’s Edinburgh Marathon

Even better in the sunshine with a wee beer @thecoral.bsky.social 🌞🍺💚💛

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

One of these isn’t really mine.. you could say I’m Only Dreaming #SmallFaces #TSC #WeekendSingles #VinylSky

I guess the Hibees Sunday victory parade must’ve been ten years ago tomorrow. Wow. Glad I took my camera. We were on a maximum high. Walking on air and fuelled by bevvy for days. That incredible weekend in 2016 gave us a lifetime of memories 💚🍻🏆

Wee wander as far as the Book Box… result! 🙌🏼

“Ouch!” “He’ll be glad to know it won’t affect his looks” 😂 Faddy commentating

I would have preferred a new-planted tree. Just a tree.

Clever lads eh @thecoral.bsky.social

Just turned this on. Christ. I’m in bits www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

John McGinn represents Aston Villa - a club in a city forged on its hardworking, industrial roots. He mirrors such characteristics on the pitch. "His mum and dad can be proud that they raised their boy with good manners." @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

Just seen that incredibly slick Youan goodbye video. The edit makes him look like one of our greatest ever players. Imagine if he’d actually bothered his arse to get stuck in… intermittently brilliant but so frustrating to watch. Can’t imagine what he must’ve been like to man manage. #Hibs

Mother and son, Lisdoonvarna, c.1890, photo by William Lawrence (National Library of Ireland). The man was apparently a ballad singer. They may have been connected to Newtown Castle near Ballyvaughan, County Clare.
