    Normally if I saw there was 25 minutes of highlights I wouldn’t bother but that flew in. It’s easy for fans commentating on their team to become annoying very quickly but Brian and Lawrence get that balance of passion and fairness perfectly. The reaction of not being able to take another five minutes of it when Stranraer went 2-1 up was perfect, incredibly relatable. 

    Probably one of the best highlight packages throughout the season but yesterday's was epic. A big GIRUY to East Kilbride and their diving tactics. Great scenes at the end.

    Unsure if/how its linked, but a long while later...

    Been in the garage for weeks. High crank case pressure, been advised theres probably something wrong with a piston seal/ring or a piston is cracking/melting 😭

    They've advised they've got it running fine for now, but have changed a few filters and will try one or two more things to get the pressure down. Car will run for a while but they're advising to get shot of the car within a year, would apparently be a full engine strip to fix down the line if thats what the fault is.

    Give RH33 a message - he will take it off your hands at a reasonable price and then he can post about the problems.

  3. Interesting fortnight. Two weeks ago Hawkwind at Newcastle.  Still showing they have got it and a superb performance from Dave Brock after a short illness and despite his advancing years. A great mix of old and new with some of the old stuff not heard for years. Possibly the last time they will tour due to health and age.

    Last night Andre Rieu at the Hydro.  Wife wanted to see him so as she had accompanied me to Hawkwind felt needed to repay the gesture.  Was not disappointed by the show. Some incredible singers and musicians with a couple of outstanding moments, one of which is below.

    I'd love to see Tommy Steele, Miller Mathieson, Adrian Sprott and Paul McGrillen put into that hall of fame. Legends in my eyes.

    Maybe an age thing but you need to go further back.

    Jimmy Weir, Willie Ormond, Willie Wallace, Jimmy Richardson, Alex Smith, Stewart Kennedy, Ray Dunlop, Ewan Donaldson for starters.

    Perhaps worthy of a topic of its own?

    Just had the insurance renewal through for the shared car up from £515 to £960, check compare the market and can get it for about £450, looking forward to the phonecall to tell Hastings to go f**k themselves. 

    Check the small print carefully.  Had similar but when you investigated the cheap quote a lot of add ons were missing and when added brought the quote up high.
