Robert is not only my cousin, but also a very kind, decent and generous man, who would do anything for anyone who needed him.
I'd be very grateful if you could retweet his post (and consider contributing, if you can. Any amount would be welcome).
Thank you!

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Alexander Armstrong! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!

@hughesjg @YouTube Sounds like a perfect day out!

@JohnBoyHastings @bbcstrictly Though that also- but turns out that she first sang it Nov 1986 on ‘Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV’ which was shown on BBC. ‘An Audience With’ wasn’t shown until 1988 on ITV.
Now let me go and lag those pipes…

It's with great sadness that we learned of the death of Professor Sir Graeme Davies.

Prof Davies brought transformational leadership to UofG when he was Principal from 1995-2003.

Our thoughts & love are with his family & friends.

On This Day in 1946: Irn Bru was born. The drink, first made in 1901, was previously called Strachan's Brew, then 'Iron Brew'. New advertising legislation in 1946 required the removal of the word 'brew' because it is not brewed. What's your favourite can?
