  1. Perv! Maybe they lined the bowl with paper first... but what a strange admission! πŸ€πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ
  2. A twat on occasion but not a diddy! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ
  3. The Bill Kirchen Trio I had NO idea what to expect! I did NOT expect that! I don't think anything could have really prepared me for the level of musicianship and enjoyment I experienced. The 75 year old American with over 50 years experience had us singing along from track 1 and was given several standing ovations at the end of a blistering non stop set lasting close on two hours! The venue website described his music as a "mash up rockabilly, country, western swing, honky-tonk, jump blues, jazz, boogie-woogie and even the β€œpsychedelic folk rock”". I don't think that comes close to describing the full range of the one man Telecaster tornado! No guitar changes No tuning changes. No capo. No gimmicks... Yet the range of sounds from the guitar was off the chart. Add on witty lyrics and it was a truly memorable night for the sell out crowd.
  4. First time making it through to the Paisley Pie Co today... Knocked myself out... Like a kid in a sweetie shop! Pies Pies Pies! Tonight, Mrs Me had the Chicken Tikka Chasni pie and I had the South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken pie... Both served with home made Bombay potatoes and Dhal. Wow. Sublime. Both pies were amazing and worth the return trip to Paisley. More pies to follow... Steak and Gravy. Steak and Gravy with Stornoway Black Pudding. Donner Kebab pie! 😯😎β™₯️
  5. Yet another dig at St Mirren supporters! Petty and ironic in the extreme.
  6. The one where we said goodbye. I'm not one for gushing over celebrity but this is heartbreaking. I identify with Chandler and Matthew in so many ways. 54 is far too young. πŸ’”πŸ˜₯
  7. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
  8. Not sure about live TV either... But for an auld fart your memory is exceptional.
  9. We have a winner. Well played sir.
  10. Two characters? Oops. Two charities. Honest. He played for 14 clubs, including 2 in the USA. He scored against us at Love Street in a crucial relegation struggle in a 1-0 defeat for us in front of a massive crowd! His team still ended up being relegated.
  11. Last year it was John Rowbotham and Tam Cowan. Both hilarious. Raised 9k for the two characters. That sum was surprised tonight with main speaker Alan Tait, former European Tour golfer. He followed the guy in this photo. Any guesses who he is?
  12. Wow. Same artist 2 nights running and not only very different shows, but very different experiences. Friday night was Mancunian singer Little Sparrow in Coatbridge for her first ever gig in Scotland. She smashed it and captivated the crowd. I've been a fan for around 8 years but had only seen her live twice... In Manchester 2018, and in Cockermouth earlier this year. I've been nagging her to play in Scotland for years. Never one to miss an opportunity, I asked if she would consider a house gig whilst here. Hence gig 2... A house gig in East Kilbride for 25 very fortunate souls who were totally blown away!
  13. I love them too. But last night they really failed to impress me. Mind you... I was 10 minutes away in the Argyle and Cellar bar watching the wonderful Irish singer Brigid O'Neill. πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ I did hear from a friend who was there that Deacon Blue were in top form though. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
  14. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Truth be told, I didn't enjoy a single track Deacon Blue played last night in the Usher Hall. Not one! 😯🀐
  15. Very uplifting.
  16. It's called instinct. 🀐
  17. Ach FFS. πŸ’”πŸ˜₯
  18. Last week, I saw Edinburgh singer Adam Holmes in Websters. On Wednesday there, it was Liverpudlian Robert Vincent in Websters supported by Roseanne Reid. Two absolutely fantastic gigs. Last night, however, was the cream of the crop... Matt McGinn in Coatbridge. No... Not the Jeely Piece Song singer... He's pan breid. Irish Matt McGinn is a superb artist. Great songs, craic, guitar playing and entertainment.
  19. So sad. πŸ’” RIP Cathy. Condolences to Sir Alex and their family.
  20. "Mark site read" has become a default for me.
  21. Thanks for the heads up Shull.. I'll be sure to tune in.
  22. Total legend. Loved watching him. His book McDougoals is a must read for fans. Thanks for the memories Frank. πŸ’”
  23. As a teenager watching Saints, I always thought of Hearts as a yo-yo club... nowhere near as good or consistent as us. From 1978 till 1991, Saints spent 14 seasons in the Premier League. At that time we were the ONLY club not in the original top 10 premier league to be promoted to it and not subsequently relegated. During that same period, Hearts spent 4 seasons in the first division following 3 separate relegations! I will never think of them other than a potentially big club that often flirts with relegation and sometimes achieves it. They also regularly bottle it against us when it really matters!😎
