@BBCScotland Demonising seagulls for a laugh as a kiss-off to tonight’s Scotcast podcast? Where was the journalistic balance? What’s so funny about stealing seagull eggs & causing so much distress as a hamfisted way to solve dive-bombing 4 food - it doesn’t. Ashamed for you.

@ElonMNews Guess it’s only a joke, though … what a shame!!! : )

[margaret chrystall @magschrystall]

@ElonMNews A - Yes! Everyone says “X” with invisible quote marks as if it’s still really something else!!!

So finally - announcement that LibDems win Inverness, Sky saying - the last seat to be announced. How embarrassing for the Highlands, surely? Would love to know what was behind it and a 24 HOUR DELAY?

Why are there no captions on this Question Time? And why isn’t Fiona Bruce shutting them up? #bbcqt and why is the programme taking a holiday one week into a new government? They’ve already suggested they won’t be taking a holiday but ‘getting on with the job’.

@DreyfusJames @SurreyPolice Just saw on TV this cow being run over by a policecar. The officer involved must be sacked no questions for misusing his powers on an innocent, defenceless animal. I wonder what he might be tempted to do in future to an animal or human in his way if he thought no one was looking.

The subject of my first biography, Josephine Tey, died #OnThisDay in 1952. It's nice to see our successful campaign for a blue plaque for Tey recognised on the Mapping Memorials to Women website @sandstonepress @VertebratePub

Title of my next novel will be revealed soon. Anyone want to play a game? Prize for the first person to get it right (or nearest guess)…

[The Joshua Hotel @thejoshuahotel]

Huge thanks to @djdebgrant for spinning our latest single “Oblivion days” last night on @BBC6Music. Super big deal for a band coming from the deep north of the Highlands xox

[The Joshua Hotel @thejoshuahotel]

We are Single of the Week on @BBCRadioScot’s The Afternoon Show! I had a heartwarming chat with the wonderful @JaniceForsyth yesterday. We spoke about the evolution of the band, heart conditions, writing songs whilst running and more. 1 hour 2 minutes mark:https://t.co/meek1fsZKk

A really special show @EdenCourt earlier this year by @lizamulholland1 DinaldSMurray and team - great news many more will get the chance to see it @ccfest

[Willie Campbell @opendayrotation]

I’m really delighted we’re getting to do the Metagama show again @ccfest. Such a great tour with the loveliest and most creative folks. Tickets are shifting! Grab yourself one soon if you fancy it. X link 👇

I was there - sometimes! From Greece, on a bad connection - it was wonderful! Will you do it again?

[Peter Noble @peterjnoble1]

We did it! @Liamross2112 and me thanks to funding from @TNLUK through @CreativeScots. Still inspired by @NaturalNav @DGHaskell @RobGMacfarlane @MATEUHI @ThinkUHI @appliedmusicuhi @SCGeopoetics

[Duncan Chisholm @DuncanWChisholm]

Great to be writing music again…..and with these two incredible talents 💛💛

[The Joshua Hotel @thejoshuahotel]

I’ve listened to countless Blur specials with @steve_lamacq, as far back as my childhood. A voice ubiquitous in my home growing up as a 90s kid. To hear him spin our latest single last night on @BBC6Music was a personal watershed moment. Thank you, kind sir 🤍

[margaret chrystall @magschrystall]

With you! Apart from the occasional Tomato, perhaps - hard to find!

[Caitlin Moran @caitlinmoran]

Sometimes, even if it's controversial, you have to stand up for what you love. This week, I go to the barricades explaining why there is no other acceptable crisp other than Ready Salted: https://t.co/Xcz9IXRQSS

Roddy giving upcoming single ‘Don’t You Remember’ it’s radio debut. Always a nice feeling hearing a song you produced in your bedroom get played on air. X
