Mostly quirky stuff, mostly in Edinburgh. Occasional forays into Scottish rugby.

We just need Ireland to be good enough (or Australia to be poor enough) for Ireland to win by at least 16 points.

I was 14 in 1975 and was having a great time. I’m not sure how much I’d have enjoyed life as an adult though.

The streets in Clermiston are named after people and places in Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Kidnapped’.

Trevor Rabin making sure he sounded nothing like Steve Howe.

Richardson hasn’t played hooker this season. I’d give Harrison a shot on the bench.

The Edinburgh front row were surprisingly good, especially Rae. In fact for the most part our players were good today, I’m less down than you on Kinghorn. The problem is, our guys played well, with 30 minutes against 14 men, but we still lost. Those first half tries were soft tries to give away.

I’m normally very critical of Ashman but he was good today, got all his lineouts, which is usually the worst part of his play. Turner was definitely a drop off from Ashman, a comment I thought I’d never make.

I do that at any time of year.
