There's nothing you can say?

Mother earth is pregnant for the third time, For y'all have knocked her up, I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe, I was not offended, For I knew I had to rise above it all or drown in my own shit.

Not much happening in Dundee in the foreseeable future. Mostly Scottish indie bands. I've got tickets for Broken Chanter, Parliamo and The Shambolics. Paul Weller is at the Caird Hall later in the year, but I'm not paying £50 for it.

I was planning to go, but the threat of rail strikes put me off. Kinda glad that I didn't bother.

About 30 or so years ago I saw Chelsea play in Oscars in Dundee. Gene was stomping about taps aff with bondage breeks and army boots. The following afternoon I was having a pint in the Phoenix... in walks Gene, looking pretty dapper with a smart shirt tucked into dress trousers and a pair of brogues.

The Ruts - The Crack X Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescent Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks The Clash - The Clash Generation X - Generation X I've tried to go pure punk there. I prefer post-punk stuff like Joy Division or The Cure.

I just saw The Lottery Winners at Beat Generator in Dundee. The were very good. They don't take themselves seriously and spent as much time larking around as they did playing tunes. A good, fun, entertaining gig.

I've watched the first 4 episodes of This Town on the iplayer. Pretty decent.

I've just booked a ticket for The Bootleg Beatles at Fatties in Dundee in September. There's another tribute band called The Upbeat Beatles playing the Gardyne Theatre on the same night. Australian Pink Floyd are at the Caird Hall later in the year. I'm undecided. I'm not really a Floyd fan but the show is pretty spectacular by all accounts. Reluctant to pay 36 quid for it though.

Yeah, that's my fear. Dillon is in his 40s. Steeves, Webster, Masson and Watson all played in the Brora game in 2015. Wholesale changes are required and I just hope SP has something up his sleeve.

Yip. It was worse than I feared.

We still have a chance, but I personally don't think that we're good enough to go up. The team is getting old and more than a few changes are required. Anyway, back to the main event. Congrats to Falkirk for going up in style. You've endured a few shite years but now you're back. Enjoy your night and good luck for next season.

I'm currently watching on old episode of Top of the Pops on BBC4 and I am marvelling at just how lank and greasy everybody's hair is. Looking back, people in that generation seldom took baths or showers. They would just sponge themselves down at the sink once a week. They'd then bend down over the kitchen sink and shampoo their barnet with Vosene before rinsing it with lukewarm water from the kettle. As for their feet, they'd steep them in a plastic basin for an hour or so before washing their plates and cutlery... in the same basin.

o'hara's nitro stout. not bad, nicer than Guinness.

Roo's Leap is probably the best restaurant in town... and it's not far from Links Park. You may have to book a table though.

I reckon the winner will be either Che Adams, Duhan Van Der Merwe or Rowdy Roddy Piper.

First Aaron Ramsey, now Dan James. The Welsh are catching up with the English for hilarious penalty f**k ups.
