Really enjoying the Riyadh Comedy Festival, guys. Donโ€™t know why itโ€™s getting so much bad press. The audiences are loving it. Absolutely laughing their heads on.

Could that have been an earlier or later version of this? Absolutely loved it, and was delighted to find it still in print so my boy could get a copy a few Xmases ago!

There's a pub round the corner from my work called The Waiting Room. Hum 'sitting in the waiting room' to myself every time I pass.

Absolutely. Sitting at the bar with Chapelle trading 'tranny' jokes. ๐Ÿคฎ

Almost surprised Gervais & Macintyre didn't join the party tbh. Grim business.

The wee man chose the game against the Hibs community team to open his account for the season. Two goals in five minutes. What a way to spend a Sunday morning ๐Ÿ˜

Gobsmacked by that result - but have always wanted to see Stat get a run with the belt. Hope she crushes it #AEWAllout

Hard to conjure up the storyline rage at the end of that coffin match - Pac is a huuuge favourite & it's great to see him back #AEWAllout

Okada/Takeshita/Dorada MOTN so far for me. Dorada shines & Kazu-Take chemistry off the frickin chart #AEWAllout

Great turnout of nearly 5000 fans at Tynecastle today for the #capitalcup women's derby. Hearts were good for their 2-0 win having won the physical battle and rounding things off with a great strike from Jess Husband. Natural order indeed.

Been re-discovering a lot of Killing Joke stuff recently. Seminal bangers.

Not in the same bracket, for me. Likewise every tory PM I've lived through, I've absolutely despised - the point being these 3 are somehow even worse.

It's pretty much impossible to quantify - but I think I'll respectfully disagree on that.

J's outright criminality puts him comfortably in the 'big 3'. But yeah, he was so mercenary you never really felt he believed in anything - Starmer seems genuinely passionate about his evil.

I think at this point I actually hate Starmer as much as I hated Johnson & Thatcher.

Bored oot ma nut watching top-flight fitba from Scotland & England today. Thankfully I also got to watch North Merchiston 2014s, who covered every blade of astro in getting past Bonyrigg 3-1 this morning. That's the good stuff.

One of the worst Glasgow derbies I've ever seen. Celtic not remotely at the races, Rangers showed fight but had absolutely no quality. Both teams lucky to get a point ๐Ÿคฃ

Please tell me the following line from McInness on the beeb website is a misquote: 'We set up to nullify Livingston's threat'. WE ARE HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN YOU TIT. How about setting up to impose our *own* threat?

Bollocks to the coefficient. Nae champs league for the ugly sisters is good news for every other team in the league. And it's FUNNY.

No spoilers, but tonight's #aew Dynamite in Glasgow was a really great time. Of course, having Dex to keep me company was the best part.

Got tix for Glasgow tonight, Scottish debut could be a loud one!

I'm making a TV series about the different parts of my gas cooker - I've already filmed the pilot.

Fair enough. I personally love the flippy guys if it's balanced with other stuff - but I highly recommend checking out his current character work. Guy's a total dick. It's great.

Dude, have you seen even a minute of his recent run in AEW? No promo?! He's one of the most easily detestable heels in the company, and other wrestlers obviously love working with him. Getting a two-syllable catchphrase over is great work.
