England got a taste of what it’s like to be Scottish yesterday: dramatic failure after a bunch of promises about what might and should have been.
Yes, England failed in the most Scottish of ways; they inflated their own self worth and never saw the juggernaut of reality coming their way. Germany walked over [...]

I’ve been gone a few days. If you were following me on Twitter you’ll already know I was on a wee trip to Amsterdam with the lads, soaking up all the bevy and sunshine we could permit ourselves the luxury of enjoying.
It was a great few days but as is always the case [...]

Bit of a tight squeeze getting everything into half a day in the office yesterday, the afternoon having already been reserved as a management discretionary holiday. As luck would have it we had a team lunch arranged at the Cambridge Bar on young Street to kick things off.
I was really hungry beforehand—thirsty too—so enjoyed [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As I stretch my neck up and look back, I peer fondly over what was my birthday weekend. If you remember, my actual birthday was in September, but the gifts bought for me by my two sisters had been coordinated to fall on this weekend. And it worked into a most memorable occasion.
First up [...]

Tomorrow I’m on the road for a few days on my annual trip to Blackpool with my best mate. While I’m gone, please make welcome the awesome author (you really should buy her book!) Cate Masters.
Yesterday I could hardly concentrate on anything at work what with my weekend of fun and frolics impending. I [...]

Well the Buddies got beat; another semi-final disappointment, this time at the hands of the Forces of Darkness. As far as footie matches go it wasn’t one of the best, but St Mirren, I felt, could have taken better advantage over one of the weakest Rangers sides I’ve ever seen. With a team full [...]

Nice and early start on Saturday, made all the better with the knowledge it was only day 2 of my extended weekend. One of Gail’s pals had crashed over for the night – their night not ending until after 3am – so I took Laura to her dance lessons and came home, made [...]

The first half of the holidays are now over and the second are about to begin. Christmas has been and gone and now the New Year celebrations beckon with earnest. Pretty soon, it will all be over, and all too soon let me tell you.
I totally shut down over the past few days and [...]

Okay, where to begin is the big question. To say I’m glad to see the back of this week is an understatement, but purely because it means I can get back to the computer and back to work. I’ve had little opportunity to keep up with my emails and blog reading, and I’ve [...]

I’m still buzzing from the gig on Monday night and I struggled to get to sleep last night for Prodigy songs rattling around inside my head. It’s always a sign of a good gig when you can’t let go of the euphoric feelings that come with the highs of the performance.
Morning meant day [...]

Today is my last full post until Sunday night. Tomorrow when I leave the office I’ll be heading through to Glasgow on my way to a small village on the south coast of Spain. Naturally, I shall miss you all very much, and so by some small way of compensation, I’d like to announce [...]
Last night’s chat was great fun. A lot of people showed up for Devon’s dialogue chat and I managed to get a couple of questions in myself. Devon is one of those tutors that offer full and interesting answers to all the questions, which are packed with lots of useful advice. You [...]
