It was a weekend to remember; a weekend never to forget. From St. Mirren Park on Saturday (arguably forgettable) to Depeche Mode on Saturday night (definitely forgettable), and from the ska party in Glasgow on Sunday to the Madness gig itself, it was a great weekend topped off by one of the best Madness [...]

I found myself dealing with more numpties than I would normally expect to during my day job, yesterday. I mean, one has to wonder where we get the staff from at times. On one hand it boosts my profile, but on the other it is so infuriating to have to lead people by the [...]

Check out my interview with Blazing Trailers, which was posted on their website yesterday. There were some good questions
Also, if you missed it, check out my gig review in Sunday’s News of the World, this week Theoretical Girl.
Good day’s work yesterday all round. The management have recognised my writing skils and have asked me [...]

Glasgow was brilliant this weekend; family, laughter, food, drinks, and the weather held up, too. Not that it mattered once my posterior found its way onto my sister’s couch. It could have snowed a blizzard and I wouldn’t have noticed.
It was a relaxing journey through on the bus early on Saturday, listening to [...]

I thought I would try something different for a change this weekend – a Saturday evening post. Put it down to the flexibility of my desire to experiment, though the reality is, I’m bored and need to something to do. Writing a blog entry seemed like a god idea followed by some reading. So [...]

When I typed the words, “I have a book coming out this week” in yesterday’s blog post, something happened inside me – I got my first blast of nerves. It’s gone away now that the promo merry-go-round has begun, but I find I get excited about it in waves instead. I suspect when the [...]

I was kind of glad the weekend finished when it did. It was all over the place and at times not in the least enjoyable. Parts of it were, though, so they are the bits I’ll talk about. Even for a Monday morning my bad mood is pretty advanced, and not even the roll [...]

The good thing about writing my blogs the following morning as opposed to the night before, is that I get to react faster to anything in the news that catches my eye. Even more so when a Sunday paper has held onto a juicy story to release it at the end of the [...]

I wasn’t in the best of moods when I got up today, and things didn’t improve by mid-morning. The sore throat I’ve had these past few days has started to go, but in its wake has left a stuffy, annoying head cold that just seems to be sitting there like a cold pizza on [...]

Week 1 of January gone, and although I’m busy on the writing front, in the day job, and in my home life, I’m struggling with content for my blog posts. Nothing controversial is happening anywhere in my life or in Scotland that could provoke me into voicing an opinion – everything just seems [...]

I woke up to the terrible news that the best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh and the venue of my work’s Christmas lunch last week, Kushis, burnt down last night. The building it’s located in just off the Grassmarket, is also home to the Finnegan’s Wake pub and the Liquid Room, so [...]

I had some really weird dreams last night.
Dream #1: I’m in a house by the sea. It’s on stilts so not easy to get off in an emergency. Typical then, that there had been a national population wipe-out by wild dogs that had surrounded the house and were trying with all their might [...]

There’s a marked difference between the feeling one gets when they get all ready for the day – showered, dressed etc. – then sit down to write the 2,500 word quota of a new novel, as opposed to the feeling one gets when the 2,500 words is already down, before so much as [...]

I’m HOME!!!!
The last few days were some of the best I’ve ever had while on a Lads Tour. From start to finish the craic was sublime, and the bonding, hair downing, and relaxation that took place has made all the boys much stronger and sane for it. Despite being let down 100% by the [...]
