  1. Interesting fortnight. Two weeks ago Hawkwind at Newcastle.  Still showing they have got it and a superb performance from Dave Brock after a short illness and despite his advancing years. A great mix of old and new with some of the old stuff not heard for years. Possibly the last time they will tour due to health and age.

    Last night Andre Rieu at the Hydro.  Wife wanted to see him so as she had accompanied me to Hawkwind felt needed to repay the gesture.  Was not disappointed by the show. Some incredible singers and musicians with a couple of outstanding moments, one of which is below.

    I'd love to see Tommy Steele, Miller Mathieson, Adrian Sprott and Paul McGrillen put into that hall of fame. Legends in my eyes.

    Maybe an age thing but you need to go further back.

    Jimmy Weir, Willie Ormond, Willie Wallace, Jimmy Richardson, Alex Smith, Stewart Kennedy, Ray Dunlop, Ewan Donaldson for starters.

    Perhaps worthy of a topic of its own?

    Just had the insurance renewal through for the shared car up from £515 to £960, check compare the market and can get it for about £450, looking forward to the phonecall to tell Hastings to go f**k themselves. 

    Check the small print carefully.  Had similar but when you investigated the cheap quote a lot of add ons were missing and when added brought the quote up high.

  4. Apparently too sick to attend Parliament but doing work in his constituency.  When is this fraudster and liar going to be shown the door?  Anyone else would have been ousted by now and Useless has the cheek to defend him and  get on about the Tories.  People in glass houses comes to mind.

  5. She will get the best of treatment that our money can buy and be prioritised.  I feel sorry for those "plebs" who are diagnosed after a lengthy wait and get treatment often miles from home. They still have to carry on with their lives and manage their families as best as they can despite the addition pressures now imposed upon them.

    Ten pages of boo hoo in the paper today would make you boak.

  6. Spartans have 10 games to play and in the unlikeliness that they go all these games with wins will end up on 73 points. The maximum Peterhead can achieve is 70 points and Dumbarton can only achieve 69 points.  No way can all of these teams achieve the maximum as they will be playing each other.

    We currently have 60 points so in theory  need 14 points to secure the title.

    Given that we play Spartans next week it is feasible that the title could be won in 4 weeks time when we travel to Dumbarton . What a day that would be.
