The line from the Sturgeonites seems to be that she was earning so much dough, so was he, they didn’t really talk much so if he rocked up with a new Jag or whatever, she was oblivious. Not sure that many Scots can relate to this.

Due to plans changing, I'm selling one flight ticket to NYC from London on June 11th. It leaves LGW at 1:05pm and lands at JFK at 3:55pm. Selling it for £300 (we paid £500), and it's sitting at a similar price just now on Norse Atlantic Airways. Name change fees covered🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’m not a social media guru but surely the number one rule is not to post when you’re angry or upset. Hit the pause button & wait till the morning.
Just back from Parkhead The fans in hospitality were friendly Particularly Brian Wilson Some wouldn’t even have minded if we had won But the outcome left a bad taste in the mouth & the result appeared predetermined Some kind of inquiry is needed

Why this time last year did neither Celtic nor Rangers sign Lawrence Shankland?

Watching Celtic home games I see the usual opposition dark arts; falling over & time wasting mostly. But the feigning of injury, about halfway through the first half seems to be a new one. The water bottles come out. The team gets a pep talk & a reboot. The refs allow this.

Is the hegemony of Spotify and streaming in danger? open.substack.com/pub/joelgo…? @ThorneRecords

Back in 99 we had hopes for a new politics. How naive we were. This is absolute pish. John Swinney could "demand" this now. And in May the UK Government is going to resign or hand Scotland independence because John Swinney demands it? Utter drivel.
On day one of a new SNP government, I will demand powers over energy to be transferred to the Scottish Parliament - so we can cut bills, protect jobs and unlock investment. If Westminster will not bring your bills down, they should get out of the way for a government that will.

asked teachers who’ve been in the classroom longer than 15 years what the biggest change has been. Thousands replied, I’ve collated them with a little help from Al 😉 Here’s a run down of what came out... If you’ve been teaching 15 years... does this reflect your experience?

Since R.E.M's amicable parting in 2011 singer Michael Stipe has been able to indulge his lifelong passion for snooker refereeing. #REM #snooker
