@euanmccolm That’s very sad to hear Euan - he was indeed a kind man and liked by all, which is a fine thing to be able to say about anyone.

@RealMacKaySTV Personal, and also a moment of proper reflection/gratitude/affection for a big audience who appreciated your presence in their lives. Literally have never heard an ordinary person say anything other than good things about John MacKay. A rare thing indeed. Enjoy the next chapter.

@BBCDavidCowan I have been running this experiment nightly for years now. Rubbish strewn across my room - clothes, shoes, books, phones. NOT ONCE has a bastardin’ mouse tidied it up.

Dante Polvara on a European night is genuinely top 3 midfielders in world football, and he ain’t 2nd or 3rd

My dear followers - please feel free to tweet and retweet the joyous news that my new novel Smoke on the Water is out today on Amazon. A nice bit of murder, mystery and mayhem to take you into Spring. #tartannoir #BookTwitter

@MrRaeStewart Love it Rae - after that wee glimpse some months ago, can’t wait to read the full story

@NicholaKane_ @westlifemusic @ShaneFilan @NickyByrne Can we have a ‘Where are they now?’? Aye, the fans featured, not Westlife.

[Duncan Young @DAFYoung]

@ukgolfguy Poor condition and a few (newer?) parklandy holes that disappointed. Had set my expectations too high - should probably try again…

@mrneilforsyth ICT spies everywhere
