Apropos of nothing, just discovered the TV channel Discovery Shed - and specifically a programme on it called "Decked Out". For the uninitiated, it involves a mad Canadian boy going round making ridiculously brilliant decks in back gardens around North America (it just knocks a show called Treehouse Masters, where they build mental treehouses, into second place in my new favourite show charts). I love a good deck - this is giving me some wild ideas for my new house when I move in a month's time. I built a massive, ~50sqm, deck supported on stilts at my current house, so I'll be needing a new project for something similar at the new place! This programme has given me some mad ideas. A must watch for any deck enthusiast.

King's idea to drip feed cash to the club rather than give them the ST money up front would essentially bankrupt them before the summer's out. They NEED that cash in April/May to keep the ship afloat IMO.

Fucking pitiful

Is it not a bit more straightforward than that-keep saying what the boss wants you to say and you'll continue getting paid tens of thousands of pounds a month that you wouldn't possibly earn elsewhere for a job you're clearly not up to...

Is there any point in an admin II? Do they even have creditors to shaft this time?

Get a fucking haircut and you'll go twice as fast, hippy. But seriously, your motivator should be that if I can do half marathons and 10ks and stuff you certainly can!

Sunday then Monday to restock!

Probably my fault I'm afraid!

I hadn't seen one for months but they were there last night! My mouth can attest to that...

One of my inferno chillis momentarily got stuck to the roof of my mouth. Said part of my mouth is still burning now almost five hours on. It also feels completely different to the touch. I've never been physically injured by food before, and I always go for the spicy option wherever I go!

These appear to be back-eating one right now. Sweating and feel like a piece of my mouth has burned off. Ouch.

They could declare now and they'd bowl them out no bother. Suspect they'll go til lunchtime tomorrow. Get the lead up to 450+ and give themselves a day and a half to win the match.

If we could make her a meme that would make my life.

My ridiculous pup Caley, a two and a half year old cavalier King Charles spaniel. Regularly found tucking herself into my bed, sitting like a person on the sofa, cuddling into my 8 month old son and generally making a nuisance of herself. Proper lap dog!

CNN are going nuts for this. One of America's biggest news networks love from Glasgow basically at prime time over there!

You can see the chequered black and yellow bit sticking up in that pic-that's pretty much unique to Scotland's only police helicopter.

That one was a bit of a head scratcher when it popped up on Facebook yesterday. I didn't see it in either of the print editions when they came through during the day! Totally bizarre.

Managed my first sub 25 minute 5k yesterday. Thought my iPhone was broken when it said I'd done the first mile in 8 minutes and the second in 7:44 but it was right! Pleasing.

Wish I could sleep til 8am before the wee man got up like her. Got to love the Tully for printing that.

If this is going to be a collection of ridiculous court stories I'll delve into my archives and pull you out some crackers, all of which are taking the piss out of Dundonians and Fifers, which is obviously entirely fair. A starter for ten: A MAN who went on the Jeremy Kyle Show instead of doing his community service was today jailed for six months. Alister Lamb was convicted last year of stealing a string of items - including a TOILET SEAT - from a flat in Dundee. On November 11 last year Sheriff Tom Hughes imposed 200 hours of unpaid work in the community as part of a community payback order instead of sending Lamb to jail. But Lamb - who has previous convictions for cannabis possession and assault to injury - completed only one hour of work between that date and April 10 this year. And when asked by social workers why he hadn't done the work he told them he had missed appointments because he had been filming an episode of the Jeremy Kyle Show. He had gone on the show in a bid to get access to his daughter from a previous relationship. His lawyer told Dundee Sheriff Court: "It wasn't as if he went on with stars in his eyes, simply snubbing the court - he felt it was an appropriate way to deal with matters." But Sheriff Hughes said: "This was not a licence for you to ignore the order and go off on your own daft frolics like appearing on television shows rather than doing the work asked of you." Lamb, 23, of Baldovie Terrace, Dundee, previously admitted a charge of theft by housebreaking. He and another man broke into a flat occupied by William Wallace in Whitfield Avenue, Dundee, between February 11 and 12 last year. They stole a television, an xBox console and accessories, ornaments and a train set. Bizarrely, the pair also stole a toilet seat in the raid. In a report submitted to Dundee Sheriff Court outlining the breach of his order, social workers said: "It would appear that Mr Lamb has not afforded his orders due priority which is evidenced by his continued failures to attend. "His most recent evidence to cover absences was an appearance on TV, namely the Jeremy Kyle Show. "He reports that he now has access to his children which he contributes to his recent apeprance on the Jeremy Kyle Show. "There has been no other substantial changes in his circumstances that should preclude him from attending. "Mr Lamb again has not afforded his order due priority. "This despite having been granted extensive periods of time in which to submit evidence. "Even when evidence has been submitted and accepted I have no option but to call in to question his commitment to his order given the most recent evidence used was an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show. "I therefore have no alternative but to request that court consider revoking said order in view to imposing an alternative disposal."

DHD-it's from more or less outside Bells, up northwards to the golf course, up on to the grass path round the back of the golf course, round a little circle at the top end of the golf course and back down. If you look on the Parkrun website you'll see the course map. I'll certainly give it a go now and then!

Anyone else do the British Heart Foundation Edinburgh 10k today? Talk about hills... Some cretin told me it wasn't too hilly as you just ran round the base of Arthur's Seat. The lying b*****d. You started at the Scottish Parliament, ran basically 2/3 up Arthur's Seat, back down to Parliament, then back up the hill and down again. The second time up was a serious struggle. Did it in 57 minutes dead - I was targeting 55, which I was on for after one circuit but the uphill killed me the second time round. Had it been flat I'd have been confident of a 52. 57 though was 13 minutes best than my previous 10k PB!

Is there a stream anywhere for the U-21 game tongiht?

Excellent, another guy with a dubious at best track record getting more involved! More good news!

Played on Friday morning and hit a 92. Should easily have been below 90 but had a couple of silly 7s back to back early in the back nine. Thy include an incredible trick shot, however, that id submit no-one has ever managed before or will again. I hit it from where this pic was taken, between the boughs of this tree (just above the yellow mark where the wood is only about six inches apart) then straight into the front of that tiny wee tree slightly to the left. That tree is only about three golf balls wide. Incredible tekkers.
