It’s a known fact that Leith has more bumfluff moustaches per head of the population than anywhere else in the world other than Iraq.
I was entertained by one this morning whilst at the bus stop. Two ned type gentlemen were in the process of giving each other “deid airms” when a wasp from a nearby [...]

The bumfluff moustache as an art form
Poofs, hoors and junkies
And so it came to pass. We went to Glasgow to watch The Spartans play Pollok in the first round of the Scottish Cup. A cracking tie was played out to a 1-1 draw in front of 1,200 fans. What a great atmosphere.
I travelled through on the team bus, which was most convenient. Arriving at [...]
Just say no. To trams.
This morning I snapped. Not exactly like Michael Douglas in ‘Falling Down’ but let’s just say I was more than annoyed.
After months and months of tram related inconvenience, I finally felt the urge to bawl one of the flourescent jacketed pricks right out of it. I am working from home today. I like working from [...]
Gone to the dogs/City walls
Monday again. How glum. This weekend was spent amongst other things at the greyhound racing. I felt like Robbie Box from big deal. I just needed the camel hair jacket and I was there. We all clubbed in to put £75 on a tip we had for the last race. Disaster. It got clipped by [...]
Contrast/Salmond ya bass
The weekend is nearly upon us and my plans for the weekend couldn’t be more diverse. Out for a couple of beers and a Chinese meal tonight. Tomorrow then consists of a 1st birthday party in the afternoon and then a stag do in Glasgow in the evening. We are going to the dogs. Literally. [...]
Too much Jibba Jabba
I’m very tired today. Last night was one of those nights where you mean to go to bed at 10pm but end up sitting up chatting. I eventually retired with a copy of Stephen King’s “It” at 11.40 and didn’t turn over to go to sleep until quarter past midnight.
I was given a very rude [...]
Suited and booted
I’m all shiny today. All suited and booted. I have a presentation to deliver to a client. It’s been years since I’ve had to regularly wear a suit to work as both my current and my previous jobs have been fairly relaxed about what you wear. I mean, I’ve not pushed my luck and come [...]
There’s not enough bitterness and hatred in American sport
I love the NFL. I spent the whole of Sunday night watching the weekends games. 6 hours of high definition streaming gridiron courtesy of the NFL.
Now, whilst watching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, I couldn’t help but notice that there is actually a section of the stadium built to resemble a pirate ship, complete with [...]
Sardines
What is it about bus drivers (and I am well aware that Blakey was a bus inspector) which make them so miserable? I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been running for a bus and I know that the bastard can see me in his wing mirror and yet he still pulls away [...]
Mr T and the tale of the LEGO bling
For days now, I’ve been browsing this LEGO site, purely from a humour perspective. I discovered it after I was sent a link of a LEGO Stephen Hawking which was so authentic it was unbelievable. Many other LEGO creations on this site are worth looking at. Some are absolutely bizarre, not least the fact that [...]
