Back in the mid-90s, before Mrs Williamson was a snowboarder, we’d often spend the Martin Luther King long weekend (mid-January) flying down to Miami and hanging out in South Beach. It was a fine break from the freezing New York winters and allowed me to transform my pasty white skin into a marginally less pasty […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Mayhew
Take an Australian, a Frenchman, a Scot and a couple of Mancunians and what have you got? No, not the start of some crappy joke, they are in fact a cracking wee Edinburgh based band that got me just a little bit excited a couple of months ago.

This week’s film is the wonderfully titled Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself. Set in present day Glasgow this 2002 movie is a real European affair, co-produced as it is by Scotland, France, Denmark and Sweden.

Reflections on the 2010 World Cup
My tournament began in the conference room of a fund management company on George Street in Edinburgh: I had travelled through from Glasgow for the day to visit a friend who had invited me to watch South Africa-Mexico on an extremely large flat screen TV in his office.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Cancel the Astronauts
I first saw ‘Cancel the Astronauts’ last year in Edinburgh. Worryingly, the venue looked like a shabby school sports hall and there were cupcakes at the bar. Then when the band bounded on stage my only thoughts were: ‘The singer is wearing trackie bottoms? Well, this is going to be bollocks’. How wrong I was.
