About Me

I'm a music loving old goat who still plays with Lego and Playmobil (if I can prise it from my wee boy's grasp). Into films and books - mostly noir stuff. Like to travel - love New York so much I've been 6 times and still not seen it all!! I also take a drink and swim like a brick...

I went to see Tiny Dancers and The Thrills last night

Library loos - just say no!

Faux pas!

Dirty old boiler!

No, I wasn't talking about Bridie... As a consequence of inept Scottish Gas engineers I'm stuck 15 feet up a wobbly ladder on a Sunday morning scrubbing the front of my house where yellow mu...

Scottish Football Museum

Yesterday Mark and I visited Hampden Park to see the Museum and go on the stadium tour. Great fun was had by all! Plenty of cups/strips/photos to gawp at and I think I watched Archie Gemmill...

Is this the way to Sannino?

Waiting at the 118 bus stop is always an education and last night was no exception. Four East European gentlemen were asking directions from a tipsy Glaswegian and all I could hear one of them ask was...

Red Road

As the "Red Road" movie is now out on DVD it's time to recount some memories of my time there... My family moved there just as they opened for business - we were very proud as we were now staying in t...
