The behaviour of Scottish people at bus stops is very strange. Every place I’ve lived in Scotland over the years, I’ve noticed different patterns of behaviour. Not as part of some grand scientific experiment you understand, but merely as a gentle observation from years of relying on public transport to ferry me around [...]

It’s Monday morning, it’s cold outside, I’m leaving for work and I’m sore from the weekend. But best of all, I’m happy.
The last three days had much of what we have come to love about a Diners’ trip; endless laughter, non-stop slagging, ridiculous behaviour and an aperitif or two to whet our whistles. Our [...]

Last night was most relaxing. Laura and I ordered our pizzas (1 Hot and Spicy and 1 Chicken Supreme) and sat back to watch The Polar Express, always an enjoyable film. It takes me back to when I was a kid and had all that excitement in me—some would say still do because [...]

I hope you all liked the interview with poet Sage Cohen in yesterday’s post. Hopefully it made a nice change from the norm, and I think you’ll agree it made for great reading. I’d like to thank Sage for the opportunity to be involved with her new book and for coming to Freedom [...]

I had to laugh when I read the article about the 18-year-old lad who secretly painted a 60ft penis on the roof of his parents’ mansion in Berkshire (see picture at top). Apparently it was there for a year before they even found out!
Later on, I almost cried with despair when I read [...]

A Scottish quack has called for chocolate to be taxed in the same way as alcohol and cigarettes. Apparently, it’s required so we can tackle increasing levels of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Forward thinking Dr David Walker, a General Practitioner in Lanarkshire, said: “many people eat their entire daily calorie requirement in chocolate [...]

Why does the United States continue to welcome terrorists into its fold when they keep telling us they have a zero tolerance policy towards this kind of thing? Newly elected President Obama has shown massive disrespect to all those innocent men and women slain by the terrorist Martin McGuinness, by inviting him to [...]

Back to work today and my, what a struggle! After a weekend of chilling with my mates, ridiculous drinking games, and wild debauchery, kicking my gears into first only served to rattle my kidneys and tire me out. It took several bottles of water and a very early night to set me straight [...]
I was hoping to get time to post before leaving for the weekend but it isn’t going to happen.
I’m leaving for York soon so have a great weekend y’all – I sure know I will!!
Bring it on!

I read this morning that Sir Sean Connery has been expressing the opinion that the Scottish people should be allowed their voice through a referendum on an independent Scotland. He made the comments while talking about the Homecoming Scotland drive the Scottish Council – sorry, Government – are pushing ahead with.
What I don’t understand [...]

Day job work is starting to pile up around me. My colleague is on holiday in New Zealand for the best part of three weeks, leaving me to shoulder the responsibility for almost everything day-to-day as well as staying on top of my own project work and keeping tabs on the contractor [...]

Woke up this morning to the sound of a woman screaming abuse at her husband. Such is Leith. Thankfully, it wasn’t me who had stepped over the line, but by the sound the woman was making, and the language used to make her point, somebody, somewhere in my street, had really pissed off his [...]
