I was delighted to be invited onto the Our Scotland podcast to talk to host Alison about my favourite sights, sounds and flavours from across Scotland.

First saw @bluemangroup in Vegas at the age of 13. Today, 20 years later, I saw them again at @captheatres in Edinburgh. Every bit as bizarre and funny and artistic and musical and amazing as I remembered!

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

@ABZ_Airport @visitabdn @AberdeenCC Finally got into a taxi 35-40 mins later, and it was £10 before we even moved a millimetre! Remortgaging the house as we speak so I can hopefully afford to pay when we arrive home...

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

Welcome to @ABZ_Airport - queue of 40-50 people at taxi rank & no taxis. Really poor welcome to the city. Never experienced anything like it anywhere else in the world. If Aberdeen wants to take tourism seriously, this needs to be sorted out.
@visitabdn @AberdeenCC

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

People joining the queue faster than they are leaving it. Visitors to Aberdeen asking locals if it's always like this. The answer: sadly yes.

@drl @ABZ_Airport @visitabdn @AberdeenCC Apparently there are only 35 taxis registered as official airport taxis, which means they're the only ones allowed to pick up passengers. And obviously they won't all be on at the same time...

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

@drl @ABZ_Airport @visitabdn @AberdeenCC Probably a bit of both. Uber will (hopefully) provide relief, but the barriers put in place by a council bowing down to taxi company pressure make me doubt it'll ever arrive in the city.

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

@drl @ABZ_Airport @visitabdn @AberdeenCC It's as if the airport and council don't want people to visit!

@watsoncomedian @watsoncomedian Would love to see you at @the_artscentre in Aberdeen - fab venue!

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

So inspired was I by @Lenniesaurus and @Shane_Strachan last night that, this morning, for the first time in over a decade, I decided not to start writing a short story but to start on a poem. Excited to see where this goes!

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

Absolute comedy masterclass by @MrNishKumar tonight in Aberdeen. Rarely do I shake with laughter and anger at the world at the same time, but tonight I did just that.

@RoyalMailHelp I am once again having issues with deliveries. 'Missed delivery' note through door on 23/8 despite me being in. Rearranged delivery for today (29/8) - checked online and it says I missed the delivery. Been here all day, no note through door, no doorbell rung.

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

And now just found out this is all because they tried to deliver to the wrong address - it was my neighbour who put the missed delivery card through my door after it was wrongly delivered to her.

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

Appalling service from @RoyalMailHelp today. Was in all day, to then discover a note through the door saying I wasn't. 4 parcels - 3 of which had high costs for next day delivery. And of course we can't complain through the website as we are not the sender. What a joke.

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

Only a few tickets left for this. If you're thinking of coming along, buy now to avoid missing out!

Sat 14 Sept // 7.30pm // Lemon Tree, Aberdeen

We've had such a riot on our last run of shows. 4 out of 5 of them have sold out, and we can't thank everyone enough for coming down and celebrating ennui and the inevitability of death with us.

Big one coming up in Glasgow in November with @fightmilkband and @Misstheoccupier!

[Eoin Smith @eoinsmith]

Join me @5DmagicIvor @5DmagicJeff & @IdeasofJames at The Lemon Tree, #Aberdeen on Sept 14 for a night of #magic like you've never seen before!

Repping @SLIMECITYmusic while meeting the legendary @WhisperingBob at the weekend. Fantastic hearing Bob and Colin Hall talking about the songs @thebeatles gave away at the Lemon Tree in #Aberdeen.
