Was contemplating that one tonight but settled on a dreadful Seth Rogan movie where he falls into a vat of pickled cucumbers and wakes up 100 years later. No Iâm not joking.
- Today
-
Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All
-
Elgin City have dismissed their manager Allan Hale for "gross misconduct".
-
No. Lionel Richie - Say You, Say Me
-
Speaking of Guy Pearce, I have been watching the Netflix documentary of fellow neighbours alum(ni / na) Kylie. No laughing at the back, it's really quite interesting. Worth it for Nick Cave and his total admiration for all she does.
-
The Guy Pearce 2002 movie is worth a watch and, to my recollection, far superior to the Richard Chamberlain adaption. Its been a while though so could be wrong.

I've downloaded Wax Fruits and am looking forward to it as it has been previously recommended. For some reason I generally don't read much in the 6 months I'm in Scotland but go into overdrive in the other 6 when I'm in Spain and have more time on my hands. I tend to favour crime thrillers and am currently rotating between Robert Crais- Elvis Cole series, Denzil Meyrick- DCI Daley series, Mark Billingham- DCI Tom Thorne series and some Pg Wodehouse- Jeeves and Wooster or Alexander McCall Smith- Scotland Street books to lighten the mood. I also recommend reading Craig Russell's Lennox books about a private detective in 1950's Glasgow and his Jan Fabel series set in Germany I've previously enjoyed reading Elmore Leonard, Michael Connelly and John Le Carre books, particularly the Smiley series.

Perhaps but he also seems like a very Robinson target too.

Re Agnes Owens mentioned awa up there somewye ^^^^^ she gets a bit of PR in Birlinn Booksâ weekly newsletter which hit my inbox today: âHAPPY BIRTHDAY, AGNES! Sunday will mark the centenary of the birth of Agnes Owens, a brilliant but much overlooked Scottish author. Throughout this year we are republishing her entire collected works and sharing her wonderfully frank and deadpan writing with a new generation of readers. The first four titles, with introductions by Kirstin Innes, Heather Parry, Kirsty Logan, and Dani Garavelli, are published now, with three further titles coming this September. These new editions have already been receiving some glowing praise in the media: 'This unsung writer can make you laugh and shock you on the same page' - The Times 'A working class genius... darkly comic' - The Observer 'What underÂpins this black comÂedy is Owensâ authenÂtic porÂtrayal of 1950s workÂingÂ-class hardÂship' - Daily Mail 'One of the most arresting and distinctive voices of twentieth century literature' - BBC Radio 4 Front Rowâ

I hope you blushed posting that one up Swaddon Boz Scaggs- What Can I Say
-
Stupid decision, he'll be fired before Christmas
-
I forgot, Iâm also on page 112/277 of Arnold Bennetâs 1923 Riceyman Steps in a battered classic orange Penguin paperback (priced at twa bob, ie 10p for you yirlin radges) dated 1953. Hard copy Proper Manniesâ book 4.
-
Ach min, you could have had my copy. I left it in a Weegie Air BNB after an enforced emergency seven-week stay, as the book selection, apart from a Kate Atkinson, was airport novels and populist poop. The two following parts of Wax Fruit are very good too. Iâd be interested to hear how you got on.
-
Hard copy Proper Manniesâ book 1: Simmy (uses the term âN*w F*rm twice but redeems himself by referencing Keith FC) Hard copy Proper Manniesâ book 2: Agnes Owensâs: For The Love of Willie (late Scottish author, enjoying a renaissance as new editions are published) courtesy of the toon library.

Cheers Jute. I think I better phone the club.
-
Antimacassar City - Guy McCrone First of the Wax Fruit Trilogy, as mentioned previously by Blin Lemon. Didn't think I would like it after the first few pages, but then reached the point where I couldn't put it down. Book two has now been requested from the Library. If anyone was wondering, Antimacassar is the small piece of cloth that people put over the tops and arms of chairs. At least that's what Google told me.
-
Thing is these arenât the best players from the teams below us. They are average bottom 6 players.
-
Judith Chalmers. Away aged 90. For the youngsters, she was the presenter of the ITV programme, Wish You Were Here, for many a year.

Summer 2026 Transfer Window

Surely that is exactly what you should be doing, stealing the best players from the littler clubs. Should we be trying to buy Braga, Nygren and Mikey Moore? -
Will he ever stop whinging?
-
Nice to see another big club follow our model.
-
I read something yesterday, about the judgement of the 115 financial charges, against City, are to be made in the next few weeks. I don't follow EPL much and don't follow the story, but I wonder if this has a bearing on his decison to exit.
-
Manchester City officially confirm Pep Guardiola to step down. Apparently naming the North Stand at the Emptyhad after him.
-
Michael Carrick has been confirmed as Manchester United's "permanent" manager. Imagine appointing the interim boss as the full time manager. What kind of diddy club would do that?
-
Just watched The Count of Monte Cristo on iplayer. 4 part series. Read the book as a kid and loved the story, the movie with Richard Chamberlin was good too. This version is Ok, watchable. French with subbies.
