I’m already tearing up at how great Boston was. Like Germany all over again. Superb.

Absolute shocker from Clancy tonight. Stonewall penalty for @AirdrieoniansFC, are these so called top flight referees incapable without someone in their ear? @TheTerraceTV @ClydeSSB

Back by popular demand, #FridayNightDram 16yo Dailuaine - as I try to clear out the “nearly done” bottles. Classic sherry kick, sweet with nutty finish. Will need to replace this bottle. Happy weekend!

Fun fact: a blue whale's anus can stretch to approximately 3 and a half feet, making it the second largest areshole on the planet, after Donald Trump.

🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini, @ZelenskyyUa! Scotland stands with Ukraine.
Image of a tweet with Ukraine flag background. tweet reads: Today's events in Washington are a clear cause for deep concern, for shock, for anger. What we need now are cool heads and clear thinking. We must stand firm with out European allies in the steadfast defence of Ukraine. That is where Scotland stands.

📸 | Sponsor Archie Balmer chose Alex Bannon as last night's Man of the Match. Rhys McCabe and Gordon Watson also presented Archie with some gifts from the club for his 16th birthday. Hope you had a great night, Archie – and well done, Alex!

It’s not even spread fairly. Wind costs 3.7p per kWh, and yet Scotland has the second highest electricity cost despite creating more than enough to keep us going. Because why? Salary’s are lower here, so arguably it’s much more expensive comparable to London. It’s another argument for Independence if Westminster can’t fix this fairly.

Interesting to hear the arguments against zonal pricing on @BBCr4today. One huge error “it’s just the same costs spread differently”. Absolutely not- we’d need 1/3 less new Grid, hugely reduce cost of wind curtailment and build new infrastructure where it’s most efficient 1/n

Picked this up at the Glenmorangie Distillery. Thought it might be a bit gimmicky, but fantastic wee whisky. Recommended…
