Billy’s Smug Mate

Posted on January 19, 2022October 3, 2023 By Priptona 11 Comments on Billy’s Smug Mate

Well, well, well…look what we have here! This week on Billy Sloan’s Show on BBC Radio Scotland, SOMEONE is going to be Billy’s guest. A day after I conduct my interview for this wee blog. (No! I’m not interviewing Jim! In my goddamn dreams. But the person I AM interviewing is relevant to the content of this site…very much so. My lips are otherwise sealed.)

Now…how the fuck am I meant to concentrate on MY interview on Friday with knowledge of THIS now? Come on! Talk about test a woman. Jeez-o!

Look at him! Smug as you like! And I don’t mean Billy! ???

It seems things are warming up quite nicely at SMHQ. GOOD! We could do with some cheer at long bloody last!

Not much else for me to say but…tune in to BBC Radio Scotland on Saturday night from 10pm GMT.

I’ll be there!

    I’m very intrigued with the news about your interview. Looking forward to it! ?
    And, of course, I’m looking forward to Jim’s interview. I hope I’ll be able to hear it despite the difference in time zones.

        It was great to hear about you on the show. Firstly I was surprised by hearing your name and then I decided to listen to this moment again to make sure that it didn’t seem to me.
