Call it off and go to the farmers market instead. Oh hang on that's just been called off owing to the weather forecast !

Funeral will take place on Monday 1st February at 10am in St Margaret's Church, John Street, Ayr.

We're writing our own version of a Scandic Noire crime drama...

Correct.

I'm just hearing this news coming through tonight, and although cannot confirm at time of writing, I believe it to be reliable. Another Saints legend gone, I hope the club produces a fitting tribute. RIP Tommy...

Add Dale Griffin, 67, Mott the Hoople drummer and Dallas Taylor also 67, Crosby Stills & Nash drummer to the list.

"So the favourites at Gilmour's cafe are... The duds, the fuds and the hot potatoes.

Alzheimers disease, not a young dude any more.

But seriously, are there any pubs left open in the northside of the town ?

Reopening on Monday as The New Croftco ?

If you deem the road conditions to be treacherous, don't get in your f*cking car and drive then. Or do you need to check with a football referee first ? ????

Phew...seems to be quoting in past tense ! http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35320816

BBC report quotes Jim McIntyre as saying he needs hip surgery ???

Did Tobin (or whatever name he was using) reside in Paisley at some point, 80's mibbe ? Reason I'm asking, early mid 80's as a teenager I had a weekend job selling macaroon/tablet bars door to door, on Gordon St there was a wierd guy who'd answer the door in a daft looking 70's 'ruffed collar' white shirt with big flouncey cuffs, white hair, Smashey & Nicey bouffant style and extremely camp, would always "invite you in", also locally known by the weans as 'tan man' as could often be seen sun bathing in a pair of speedos on the various benches around the old concrete gardens outside the cooncil HQ at Cotton St. I recall thinking he was a dodgy, lurid character. And when the Angelika Kluk murder happened years later and 'Tobin's' image began circulating, I instantly recognised the face as being very familiar. Could have just been a close friend of Dorothy I suppose...

This was BBC 6 Music mind ye, say the guy had been born on 16th May 1967 ?

Was in Morrisons this morning, every 2nd song over the tannoy was a Bowie classic and they only made 'now on aisle 12' sales announcements during the in-between songs. Nice touch I thought...

I must admit I nearly boaked when I heard that yesterday, then again when she read out an e-mail (choked with emotion) from someone who claimed to be "a massive Bowie fan since 2002"

Funnily enough I was jamming the guitar parts of 'The Man Who Sold the World' the other day, arguably my favourite Bowie tune. Like many here, I was probably more of a 'greatest hits' kind of a Bowie fan, only owning the 'Man who...' and Hunky Dory albums outside that. My old gran used to love Space Oddity, and may she be pouring the unfortunate Mr Jones a cup of tea and cutting him a slice of her Donegal soda bread in the celestial back stage club tonight...

I'm just over I reckon, a big improvement on my younger years when the capacity to get 'well over' was more likely. Nowadays a couple of pints after work is about my level. Can't really do the pint after pint routine anymore. If I have four beers, I'm usually struggling and wanting to go home, ah the joys of middle age... Righto, where's my cocoa ? ????

He remembered that !

I'll send him that...????
