Anyone know what to do when your iPhone music app decides to randomly swap round all your album art? (Although it is quite entertainingly surreal - especially if you have all sorts of tunes in your library…)

Me on my twin specialist subjects of Brazilian butt lifts and flying dental hygienists (and regulating non-surgical procedures) in today's @heraldscotland.bsky.social - www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2495...

It’s Burns Night and I’m doing my annual “let’s see what miniatures I’ve picked up at things over the last year” sweep of the kitchen cupboards… (That said, I’m at the age where I need to admit to myself that, just like a poem, I’ll never know if a dram is any good or not.)

Christmas has come too early again this year? I won't hear a word of it!

YEEESSSS!!!!

The points are staying in Paisley!!!!

Got up at daft o’clock this morning to watch qualifying for the #F1 #LasVegasGP with no 1 son. Not a flake of snow to be seen.

Why do so many 80s shows and films stand the test of time, even with today’s spoiled-by-CGI kids? Knight Rider, the A Team, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters etc etc etc. - my kids love them all.
