May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Today is the anniversary of my first ever visit to Glasgow – six years ago. I had come up to take part in 15 to 1. A bucket list tick for something I had long wished to do – to be a contestant on a television quiz show. There was somebody who was HUGELY responsible…
Today, much like every other day, I should be studying. But today I feel a particular sense of melancholy and foreboding. I *should* feel on a high, because last night Simple Minds actually, FINALLY, debuted on ‘Later…with Jools Holland.’ They were incredible. Vision Thing sounded AMAZING. I actually shouted out when they finished “THAT’S THE…
Photos from today. I wanted to point out to Jim my hat. Birdy bought it for me for Christmas and I haven’t really worn it. It’s too big for my head (I know!) and so I had the genius idea of putting a bunch of the badges Samantha sent me around it to try and…
My own experience of the day was relaxed and subdued…with a smattering of anxiety blended in. A mix up in planning meant that myself and Ruth only made our way to St Enoch Square to meet up and have brunch with Sue at the Glasvegan cafe. Had been wanting to try the place out for…

If I can’t write it, I’ll speak it…
Wholly frigging shit! I’d never be lucky enough, savvy enough, etc, etc, for an opportunity like this to come my way, eh? Goddamn! Oh, well. Maybe I’ll spot them at the Roxy gig on Monday night? Lol. Yeah, I wish! (And I doubt it!) You can read all about their secret filming at Paisley Abbey…
Next Monday evening I am off to the Hydro to see Roxy Music’s 50th Anniversary show. I have been looking forward to this for MONTHS! So…in celebration of this, here’s SM’s only cover of a Roxy song. Goddamn I wish they’d picked something else! But, I guess Jim loves it. It is probably my least…
