Ex BBC staffer in his dotage. Still providing religion + ethics features for @BBCRadioScot. Grumpy old man. Opinions are mine alone. RTs are not endorsements.

@BrandAlleyUK Seriously pissed off with your customer service people. 25 + minutes hanging on the phone, no reply. Posted a return to you on May 22, delivered to you May 26. Still no refund. As a wrinkly I can’t afford to be out of pocket by 70 quid. What on earth is going on.

I don’t claim to be a gardener. I was at the back of the queue when they ran out of green fingers. But our clematis which thrives on controlled neglect seems to get more beautiful every year.

@simonminty @goggleboxshow @C4Gogglebox Weekends are usually enhanced by a fix of you and your fellow Gogglers.

@foreigncorr1 Good to see proper journalism being recognised.

[Bob Dickson @DicksonBob]

@JoannaCannon I think you’ve just hooked me Joanna.

[Bob Dickson @DicksonBob]

Once again Ewen’s softly spoken commentary added immeasurably to the enjoyment of this year’s @TheMasters Knowledgeable, empathetic and above all knowing when to speak and when to say nothing at all. More Ewen please @SkySportsGolf not less.

[Ewen Murray @ewenmurray77]

@TheMasters A great privilege to cover this wonderful tournament and has been for many years. The work you’re doing, not just for ANGC, but for the sport is admirable. The Chairman spoke eloquently re. the distance debate this week and I hope progress is made in the near future.

David is always worth a few minutes of your time.

[David Pratt @foreigncorr1]

I'll be on @BBCRadioScot Sunday Show this morning to reflect on the war in Iran and my latest visit to the region.

[Bob Dickson @DicksonBob]

@luxemiaa Thank you for sharing that story. Not everything in the world today has gone to hell in a handcart.

[Bob Dickson @DicksonBob]

⁦@BBCScotWeather⁩ The view towards the #BiarritzoftheNorth #NorthBerwick is looking stunning this afternoon. But a tad chilly.

[Bob Dickson @DicksonBob]

Just listened to this bonus episode of the @slicedpod featuring an hour of conversation with @ewenmurray77 A fascinating 60 minutes of a peerless commentator’s thoughts on the state of the game today. Good to learn that Ewen will be back in the commentary box from time to time.

"I looked at Nick across the table, tears running down his face"

Ewen Murray on the emotional moment Rory McIlroy clinched the Masters, and sealed his place in history.

[Andy Cameron MBE @andycameron1940]

Ewen Murray is retiring from commentating on Sky Sports golf.This is a real shame and I’m afraid a victory for the morons who only prove how much standards have dropped.
Ewen is an example of how sport should be played,viewed and enjoyed.Thank you Ewen for your sanity.

@ronsterd89 In our household it was head cook and bottle washer. Still in use today two generations down the line.

[Bob Dickson @DicksonBob]

@dadbegg @ewenmurray77 Spot on David. Listening to Ewen you always think that he’s talking to you and only you. And as you and I know well, that is the mark of a truly professional broadcaster.
