I hit drums - sod it, somebody has to do it!
Cut quite the dash. My jokes are pretty weird, you won't like them.

Top of the Pops (18th February 1982). The Jam hold the top spot with the double-A side Precious/Town Called Malice (and were the first group since The Beatles to perform both sides of their disc on the same edition of TOTP).

I thought that the word "obviously" used repetitively by managers and players in Scottish football was annoying but I'll happily endure that now they seem to have replaced it with "listen" every sentence.

Scotland has officially banned hunting with dogs closing loopholes previously allowed mounted hunts to continue traditional fox hunting caused unnecessary suffering Now with tighter laws in place using packs of dogs to chase and kill wild mammals is effectively prohibited across the country.

What a brilliant celebration of the Big Noise programme tonight, and a real joy to hear from talented young musicians.
Every child, whatever their background, deserves the chance to learn an instrument. Proud to continue funding free music tuition for children in Scotland.

I’ve been a full time artist since December 2020, and apart from one month when I had a huge commission for a hotel, this has been the best month I’ve ever had, and that’s 100% down to all of you on here. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart ♥️ I can’t wait to post your orders tomorrow 🫶🏻

@redpeter99.bsky.social is a dyed in the wool, die-hard, life-long Leeds Utd fan who has the guts to call out and shame his own for their non-thinking, brain-dead, bigoted bollocks.
We should all do the same, with whichever club we support, when the fascists raise their ugly heads.

I'm delighted that in Scotland, unlike in the rest of the UK, we have avoided doctors' strikes.
We're also now seeing consistent progress in our NHS: more operations, more GPs and falling long waits.
More to do, but that's real progress under the SNP.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it
