- You Have Been Watching…Trainspotting For reasons that will become apparent next week, this will likely be the last Scottish Film feature for a while, so it is appropriate that we end this series with a look at arguably the greatest Scottish film ever made – Trainspotting.
- Nostra Who? Mad Christian Harold Camping was reportedly “flabbergasted” that the Rapture didn’t take place last Saturday, May 21, as he had confidently predicted. I am similarly flabbergasted that Kilmarnock weren’t relegated, as I assuredly stated on August 12: “I can’t see them anywhere other than last place.” Camping is now saying the Rapture was spiritual, not […]
- Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Sparrow and the Workshop For those of you who visit this site on a regular basis, you might already be aware just how much I like Glasgow three piece, Sparrow and the Workshop. I would probably have asked them to do an interview for me a long long time ago, however, I built them up so much to myself […]

I put a song from this album on a podcast months ago, and have somehow never quite managed to write a review so umm… apologies for keeping you all waiting. Whilst this is was presented to me as an album, I get a […]
- You Have Been Watching (TV Special) …The Field of Blood Last Sunday and Monday night saw a cracking period drama on BBC1. No change there then, but the period was the early 1980s in Glasgow. The Field of Blood may have done nothing to disuade people of the idea that Glasgow is No Mean City, but when the writing, direction and acting is of this […]
- Get It Right F***ing Up You, Ya Clown Ya We’re in the middle of trophy season, so welcome to the inaugaural, and possibly only, GIRUY awards. There are three categories of award: GIRUY, for an irritant or idiot; GIRFUY, for a person harming our game; and GIRFUY, YCY, for someone putting our game in mortal danger (the C doesn’t stand for “Clown”).
