Keep it simple - which decade has had the best horror movies?

Fairly even. We didn't defend their goal well at all, although it was a good finish.

Important to get back on level terms relatively quickly, which we did. We need to take the game a bit more to them though. Not a lot of attacking threat down the right in the first half.

Yeah, they did a cracking job pulling it all together. There was plenty going on at that point to write about!

Shaun certainly was. I think Gerry became one if he wasn't when they started! Both top blokes.

Looks like bsky.app/profile/shau... is, but hasn't posted in a while, but Gerry isn't.

It was run by Shaun Milne and Gerry Cassidy, who used to work at the Daily Record. They ran it as a business rather than going through a big publisher.

I was one of the volunteer writers on it. Had a great time doing it, and was really disappointed it didn't continue.

Is Vladimir Romanov in charge of Aberdeen now?

It's a great watch. One of my favourite shows on TV at the moment. You can see where Deborah Cahn's time on the West Wing shines through.

Just about to sit down and start watching season three.

Enjoy!

He's never done it. Doesn't surprise me that he didn't do so today. A sore loser.

He knows he's under pressure.

The two Only Natural ones were the first CD singles I owned.

I got given the It's Only Natural singles as a present, but missed out on the others from that album, so hadn't heard it until Afterglow.

Feels like this song sits firmly between the debut album and Temple of Low Men. The verse is from the latter, the chorus the former.

I suspect if it had been a b-side in the early-mid 90s, I would like it more, but because I just wanted more CH. As it is, it's fine, but not one I go back to often.

I was just about to come on here to mention that to you!

Be great to see him on the show.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

For what it's worth, I love your posts. I'm just not on socials as much these days.

They're like gold dust here (central Edinburgh). One retailer told me they sell out the minute they come in.

Although my six year old son was very excited to discover a new Pokemon shop is opening here in a couple of weeks.

Fully deserved. Has had a great start to the season. Performed really well and brilliant commitment.

I also like the idea that there are still gems to be had in the lower leagues in Scotland if you look hard enough.

You sing his praises, and that of other awesome musicians. What's not for him to like?

Sorry! It's still one of my favourite music moments.

The restraining order will be totally worth it!
