Just spent a lovely week dog-sitting the beautiful Rodney, an 18 month old #Labrador. He's such a lovely dog, well behaved and delighted to be living in the moment. He's also a complete idiot with no sense of personal space, believing himself to be a lapdog. #Scotland #dogsinpubs #dogs

Our local theatre, #Lanternhouse #Theatre in #Cumbernauld, #Scotland, is at risk of #closure due to #funding being #cancelled. This has been a part of our wider community for 60 years and would be a huge loss if it were to close. Please take a minute to sign this petition, thanks. chng.it/r9ZZJKsskZ

Epic 4 day motorcycle ride round the Scottish Highlands. Great weather, amazing scenery, brilliant company. Took the old BMW instead of the Harley for a change. Didn't handle quite as well as the GS's I was with though, perhaps the dealership beckons 😁 @bmwmotorrad.bsky.social

Next month, I'm taking part again in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, raising funds & awareness for men's mental health, prostate cancer & male suicide. A very worthy cause,& one I hope you can support. #DGR2025 #ridedapper #biker #harleydavidson #glasgow www.gentlemansride.com/rider/daveje...

Another year I'm proud to take part in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, raising awareness and funds for men's mental health, male suicide and prostate cancer. Bikers all over the world unite, dressed dapper for a great cause. #Glasgow #DGR25 #ridedapper #distinguishedgentlemansride #menshealth

Twice this week, FB has shown me articles that are very pro Trump and Musk. When I go to dismiss these, it asks if I want to unfollow the authors. I NEVER FOLLOWED THEM TO BEGIN WITH. That's shocking that FB can decide to add me as a follower of anyone. 🤬🤬🤬

@herring1967.bsky.social We really loved your Glasgow show last night. Very funny, very moving, with such an important message. We take part in the #gentlemansride, bikers globally raising funds & awareness for men's health, a great cause. Thanks for sharing your story & helping men think about this

Just spotted LinkedIn has removed the option to download connections only - now needs to be a much larger archive, and instead of 10 minutes it quotes 24 hours. Makes no sense to me, that one. @linkedin.com

This is my Teams background for the next 2 weeks. All set for a whirlwind start to 2025, with our #syntheticdata being trusted by so many major FS, Regulatory, Fintech and Govt Departments for rapid product development, testing, innovation and collaboration. Safe, secure, scalable and realistic.

Another X-ile here, glad to see it's far more lovely. As we gallop into winter here in Scotland, here's a photo of my Harley in the Scottish Highlands to cheer me - and hopefully you - up. I still ride in the winter, but on my trusty BMW - the Harley would melt with the salt! #harley #scotland
