Yes, I’m 41 and a huge Harry Potter fan. If anyone is wondering, here is why. When I was 13 I was a massive bellend trying to better myself by reading Kafka and Dostoyevsky and lots of other things that were far too grown up for me. One day my younger sister told me she’d read a book called Harry Potter and that she thought I’d like it.

I reluctantly started reading it and immediately fell in love with it. The child that I still was came alive again. It was funny. It was exciting. It was really bloody good.

Fast forward to the summer of 2007 and my dad was dying from brain cancer. He was an incredible man and he was reduced to lying in a bed in the sitting room, half paralysed, unable to speak or feed himself and terrified. It was humiliating and awful and it got to the point where I think all of us were actually wanting an end to it.

The Deathly Hallows was released and I started reading it when I was sat with my dad. One day my mum told my sister and I to get out of the house as we needed a break and we went to Mansands, near where we lived in Brixham. We were sat on the beach and I was reading the part where Dobby dies. He dies on a beach near a little cottage within walking distance of a fishing town. I was on a beach near a little cottage within walking distance of a fishing town attempting to cope with the imminent death of my dad. It was as though I was in the book. The stories that I’d loved for years were speaking directly to me.

And then I spotted JKR’s ‘absent-minded’ like on a tweet about men in dresses and it cemented her as an absolute legend for me.

Yes, I know this sounds like I’m a total kiss arse and you shouldn’t have heroes but I do and she’s JK Rowling.

In Scotland, new rules are being introduced to require “swift bricks” in new buildings, a small change that creates nesting spaces and helps birds coexist with urban life.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

In the context of the escalation of the war in Ukraine following the invasion by the Russian Federation, @UNESCO condemns the reported strike on 15 June that hit the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, within the World Heritage property “Kyiv: Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Related Monastic Buildings, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra”, one of Ukraine’s most significant spiritual and cultural landmarks.

The strike reportedly caused significant damage to the exterior and interior of the Dormition Cathedral. Adjacent historic structures, including elements of the Lavra’s fortification complex and Ivan Kushnik Tower, were also reportedly impacted.

#UNESCO condemns attacks against cultural property, educational institutions, students, education personnel and media professionals protected under international law. Damage to such institutions deprives communities of access to culture, education, and shared spaces that are essential for recovery and social cohesion.

UNESCO stands ready to support relevant authorities in assessing damage to cultural and educational institutions and identifying urgent measures within its mandate.

buying this and then dying immediately and forcing my descendants to finish building it over the next 100 years

By far the best option, given that the others were embarrassing in their inadequacy. The fact that the global recruitment search beyond Martin extended to two guys we knew is humiliating in its tin pottery! I worry about Martin’s health, but if he feels able then fair enough.

One of the most satisfying doubles of my lifetime.

And here’s something for the rest of Scottish football to ponder when you consider how chaotic this season has been - we were a keeper injury & 33 days of Nancy away from winning back-to-back trebles.
