There can be nothing better than your first decent shower in a warm bathroom after Glastonbury . Ashley and I had our first shower in London to be precise. We were staying in a friend of mines house, he is gay and an architect and you should have seen his shower room! WOW…a huge...
Well I survived. I am sorry I have not written a blog in days but there was no internet connection whatsoever. Ashley my daughter and I pitched the tent (in the rain) and it was allocated beside the campfire (which never stayed alight because of the rain). Within hours the whole campsite...
My daughter Ashley and I got up early in Glasgow to fly out to London today (Wednesday). We are packed and ready to head off to Glastonbury . First we must stop off in London as I get my lift from London to the festival site and Ashley has packed a huge case of clothes which I...
I cannot believe that Daryl Hall is 61 years old; I just found this out when I uploaded his amazing solo album from 1993 ‘Soul Alone’. I found a big box of cd’s in my wardrobe from when I used to own a bar in my almost past life. You should hear ‘Philly Mood’ its astounding. The best...
I saw the weirdest ever tattoo on a fat girls tummy last week. At first I thought it was ‘go faster’ type stripes she had inked into her tummy either side of her bellybutton pointing up the way. I couldn’t imagine anyone having ‘go faster’ stripes on her belly, how fast does she...
I am sleeping too much again. It all started with the bad headache but ended up with an askew sleep pattern. I need to get back on track with my productive life. I have been working…don’t get me wrong, I am half way through my article for next weeks Scotsman and am coming up with marketing...
I had a horrible migraine, well it’s either that or a brain tumour is slowly building up for a blow out in my head. It was like a giant dwarf inside my head banging away with a sledge hammer. I had to take the special tablet that the doc gave me ages ago. I am not to take it if it’s...
Back in the 1960s in inner city Glasgow we used to have a man who came round the streets with a big horse and cart. He would blow on an old brass horn and all the kids would come running out of their houses and head straight for the Ragman. His big horse was old and smelly...
I went to Balmaha beach at Loch Lomond . It’s my favourite spot in Scotland . It’s a stony beach beside a lovely Loch and usually so quiet and peaceful. This time there were a few screaming kids that truly deserved a fork in their nasty wee foreheads…noisy fuckers....
Seems the day I had flown out of JFK, the New York police and FBI stopped a plot to blow it up! They have arrested four men who are allegedly the terrorists who had organised to explode the fuel pipes that feed that airport. I don’t know if the day I was flying out was that day...
Yes, bleak rainy Glasgow is good reminder of where I am from. I am glad to see the rain of Scotland batter off my bedroom window, believe me…after all that oppressive heat of NY; I am bathing in the rain! I have slept more than I should and now it is Sunday afternoon and Ashley is...
