Sailor. Trying to learn Gaelic, before it’s lost forever. Glasgow Warriors fan and car/ motorbike bore.

@jimbowhay Great pictures, Jimmy.

@jimbowhay All the best Mate.

@ryanlaing95 Poor direction to TMO, ref bottled it.

I’d initially blamed TMO for the shocking injustice, in retrospect it was the ref who shafted us.

France off the hook, big time.

[Boring Jamie Smith @DutyDivs]

@ryanlaing95 Strongly agree.

@FishHutBlackDog Tapadh leat, a charaid.

#gaidhlig #gaelic Buzzing with this milestone!

[Boring Jamie Smith @DutyDivs]

Bought a ‘Sweet Pistachio’ scented candle, what a mistake man, the thing is absolutely howling.

Genuinely preferred the smell of burning vas deferens when I got the snip!

He sounds like he’s headed for an Òbh Òbh-erdose.

@kmacraeplockton Go hard or go (2nd) home.

Look how much I learned on Duolingo in 2023! How did you do? #Duolingo365

[Boring Jamie Smith @DutyDivs]

@BaronVonHobbs Strongly agree with this.

[Boring Jamie Smith @DutyDivs]

Still going with the #Gaidhlig and, still, too few people to speak with!

@ChalmersSmith2 To further aggravate matters, this encounter happened in Aviemore.

That’s a place where the average grandparent is much older than in the central belt, so the wee guy thought I looked fifty five (minimum).

Just Googling ‘is self indulgent sadness bad for ageing’…

Some sad personal news;

In the swimming pool the other day with Calum (6).

I was struggling to get him to sit still whilst getting dressed.

“Calum, sit still please. Calum, pay attention!”

Well meaning young man comes over “Come on pal, pay attention to Grandad”.

I’m 41.

@kmacraeplockton Scary price!

What is this, as a multiple of the median local income? Genuine question, my guess would be around twenty one times the average income.

Price doesn’t take into account LBTT, which would be around £26k.

[Boring Jamie Smith @DutyDivs]

All the parents trying to look proud, rather than ecstatic.

All the teachers trying to look optimistic, rather than anxious.

Oh yes, Baby, it’s #FirstDayOfSchool 23/24.

[Boring Jamie Smith @DutyDivs]

#gaidhlig #gaelic If only there were more people I could speak to…

In our latest feature presenter, writer and film-maker @caldamac writes on how understanding of Gaelic can help broaden our appreciation and understanding of Scotland's landscapes and culture.

@jimbowhay Hope you’re doing okay Jimmy.

There’s a class series on BBC iPlayer right now, Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland. Really informative and well balanced.

Give that a try whilst you’re man down.

Calum Iain scrubbing off his first #munro Beinn Ìme. He’s so proud. #munrobagging
