Brilliant work by the Scottish Government on the new ad featuring famous Scots singing ‘Caledonia’. Fairly makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Happy St Andrews Day. Tweet This Post Bookmark It

Special Offer. Free Geography Lessons.
As a once in a lifetime offer, Three Minute Boy is offering free geography lessons to Islamic Extremists this week. Since the terror attacks in Mumbai, numerous reports have been coming out of India suggesting that the terrorists were looking for people with British or American passports. I for one feel that they are somewhat [...]
This Train is My Life/Signing away the royalties
Sleeping towns joined together By the steel of the rails Parallel lines Parallel lives I’ve booked another two train journeys today. I’m on holiday from work next week but the two following weeks will see me spend the majority of my time on one train or another as I travel around the country giving training [...]
Sieg Dole
It appears that there will be a rise in job vacancies later this week as companies sack members of staff who have been ‘named and shamed’ on the BNP party membership list. It’s all a bit of a storm in a teacup really. I find the BNP’s views abhorrent, but at the same time I [...]

Last week we watched all of the ‘My Family at War’ series on the BBC where celebrities traced their ancestors involvement in the First World War – mostly grandparents and great grandparents. After watching the programmes, we started [...]
Nothing to moan about
I’ve nothing to whinge about today. I just realised that more posts on this blog go into the ‘rants’ category than anywhere else. Does that make me a miserable bastard or a man of these (increasingly miserable) times? This weekend should be fairly relaxed. With the exception of the football for a couple of hours [...]
Put the Lego away Bob the Builder.
Unesco are in Edinburgh today to review the World Heritage status awarded to the city in 1995. It’s a disgrace that it has reached such a point. Some of the developments going up in and around Edinburgh in recent years have been scandalous. The Caltongate development is not fit to grace this beautiful city. Read [...]
The Great Glasgow Butterkist Heist
It’s not every day that you are walking past a shop and a family sized bag of butterkist comes flying out the door. To be fair, it’s not every day you are walking by a shop which sells butterkist. This happened to me in Glasgow the other night. I was on my way up Sauchiehall [...]
