@JimSpenceDundee Runrig's song "The Old Boys" is about the 51st Highland Division's soldiers and St. Valery. Very moving lyrics.

@JimSpenceDundee Indeed. Lived in a prefab. So cold inside one night that the water froze in the fish tank. In the morning, I found the goldfish swimming on its side in the couple of inches of water that hadn't frozen. It survived. Even goldfish were tougher in the 60s!

@DundeeFC I was there with my late Dad. In the same stand as the TV camera. My view of the goal was very similar. So long ago now!

@SBarrettBar Who is playing Beria to Starmer's Stalin? That concerns me more. I can't believe Starmer is calling all the shots (pun intended).

[Alan Wilson @wirraldee]

@cold957 Agreed. When war-torn and corrupt countries (e. g. Somalia) can chair the UN Security Council, you know it's a lost cause.

@SBarrettBar He was walking like a gumby from Monty Python. For those not old enough to remember, it's not a good look.

@JeremyCordite A poor cover version of The Two Ronnies. It's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him. It's certainly goodnight Conservatives with the likes of them at the helm.

@RichardWellings I've lost count of the number of roads, narrowed to carve out cycle lanes, that I've driven along where cyclists are as rare as hen's teeth.

@paulmasonnews Please stop whatever you are taking. It's making you ill.

@MarcherReborn Where's 602 (City of Glasgow) squadron when you need it?

[Alan Wilson @wirraldee]

@JimSpenceDundee Conducted the play at Easter Road vs Dundee. A footballing brain, at least, two steps ahead of the opposition and even his Hibs teammates! I recall he was on a pay as you play contract because, at times, he'd miss his flight from London and be a no-show. Flawed genius.

@GuidoFawkes Maverick Macron - only even shorter than Tom Cruise.

[Alan Wilson @wirraldee]

@cold957 @Keir_Starmer Because he keeps getting community noted on X. It's a personal vendetta, not a policy decision, IMHO.

Presumably, this individual will be fast-tracked to 31 months in a UK jail, but I won't hold my breath. BBC News - British-Egyptian dissident apologises for tweets as Tories push for UK deportation

@SBarrettBar Utterly appalling way to treat a paying passenger. Report them. Sue them. We are not (yet) a Banana Republic. Sending my best wishes.

@SBarrettBar She has zero self-awareness. An undemocratically elected jobsworth.

@RichardBurgon You are a clown.

@JeremyCordite If we can't stop the boats coming across the channel, that could be our lingua franca in a generation.

[Alan Wilson @wirraldee]

@SBarrettBar Just how captured is our judiciary? They can't all be Starmer's mates, surely?
