Know a bit about false information, news, Eurovision and Scottish stuff. Formerly of Twitter and many newspapers. I'm in Glasgow (nearly).
Last half hour of Scotland v Denmark on BBC Two. 1-1. Scotland must win to go through to the World Cup direct. Denmark down to ten men.
Potential for chaos: high.

A thing I appreciate about John MacKay, who’s leaving STV after decades: I could not tell you his opinions on much at all.
I could not tell you how he voted in the independence referendum, or the EU one. Which is an excellent quality for a flagship news presenter. www.stvplc.tv/newsroom/202...

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t watching and immediately started searching for the dance. I didn’t think you could get a 2 on Strictly without breaking someone’s leg or something.

Dizzy by Olly Alexander is actually a tremendous little in your headphones song. Which isn't the use case at Eurovision, sadly.

I used to work at this paper. I never spotted this and now I can’t unsee it.
I used to work on this newspaper and while I was there the editor decided he didn’t like the “v” and “g” of the word Evening in the logo so had them swapped for ones that don’t match and I’m delighted that they are still there looking too thin and too fat respectively, more than 25 years later.
