Suspect that Chris Woakes would be the first person to point out his shortcomings as a Test bowler (esp away from home) but what a battler - and an amazing way of to finish your career batting with your arm in a sling. #thecricket

V proud of my old dad who was officially celebrated as chair of Monmouthshire County Council at a civic ceremony earlier today. He even managed to illicit a laugh or two with his speech - one or two more than when he was a teacher!

For the teetotal Manics fan in your life (actually quite impressive how they’ve recreated the afterburn of vodka with capsicum).

New Hamilton Crescent mural celebrates River Clyde — West of Scotland Cricket Club A local artist has added a splash of colour to the Fortrose Street side of Hamilton Crescent in the form of a new mural.

Fortrose Street in Partick has a brand new mural tribute to the River Clyde.

I spoke to the artist about how the local community came together to design it for the West of Scotland Cricket Club website.

These draft regulations amend the rules for certain benefits, requiring people moving from the rest of the UK to Scotland who receive a corresponding DWP benefit to submit a new application to Social Security Scotland.

Ground #205 - Linton Hotspur v Dunipace. Not the best day to spend in the freezing cold and wet Pentland Hills but a lovely set up nonetheless.

Meanwhile the nearest journo is telling everyone there’s nothing to see here about the appointment of a youth manager to save the season. And crying abuse when anyone points out that’s a bit odd.

What an incredible achievement #Adolescence is. Like This Is England before it - British drama now has a new benchmark for telling contemporary stories in interesting ways.
