@arthistorynews Beautiful Artwork uncovered in Glasgow this morning.

Wow, my timeline’s full of men questioning my academic credentials and telling me to shut up. Why do people feel the need to resort to ad hominem attacks? We should surely be able to engage in discussion and debate without throwing virtual vitriol over each other.

Docherty’s bar 183 Garscube Road, one of the many pubs frequented in Cowcaddens. This picture, taken in 1933, depicts the gentleman outside the bar smoking, reading a paper, maybe waiting on the later edition of the newspaper to be delivered? c6063 https://t.co/MSAJbk5LIW

I'm grateful to Rishi Sunak for waiting till I'd done all my Burns Supper speeches before sacking Nadim Zahawi -- the best laugh every time came from speculating how Burns the exciseman would have roasted the tax cheat!

Seeing people come to buy fish and handing the owner, money, this cat went out and got a leaf to pay for her fish. On the first day, the owner of the shop thought this was very cute, so he gave her a small fish. Now everyday this cat comes in to buy a fish with a leaf.

@verynetwork How do I speak to someone without hanging on the phone for 1 hour before being cut off ?

Would anyone else prefer to turn off the news and look at a cheery photograph of some card index drawers right about now?

Such sad news, the passing of a Glasgow legend. RIP Robbie Coltrane

[Past Glasgow @PastGlasgow]

Shocked to hear that Robbie Coltrane has died at the age of 72.

Long before Harry Potter he starred in John Byrne's Tutti Frutti. Here he is pictured with co-star Emma Thompson.
