    Matthews is about 5 minutes from Riverside in Dundee. Never not a reason not to go down to wee Matty's though. A treasure trove.

    This is the gear you need from Matthew's - absolutely sensational on/with almost all food. Pretty much anything with the wee wifie on the front is dynamite including the black bean in chilli oil.

    While he's a different sort of player, there's the same vibes as Grant Holt with ALF.

    From now on, any Hibs manager who doesn't sign a veteran English forward who's a great lad to have around the dressing room will simply not get my support.

    But can he wrassle like big Holt?!

    I think a lot of this behaviour was tied into the 1960s/70s free love, hippie type thinking, personal freedom, who are we to judge etc. Often that sort of attitude provided an excuse for men to treat women very poorly.

    There also was probably naïveté about the impact on the girls from what happened to them - kind of like the South Park episode where an attractive female teacher has sex with a male student and people just want to high five him. The attitude of “they get to have sex with Bowie/Jagger et Al, what’s the problem?” was probably widespread.

    People also thought differently about age gap relationships in the past as well, I don’t think it was quite as taboo as it is now. People did know it was wrong though - there was big controversy about Wyman marrying Mandy Smith, although he was never charged when he really should have been.

    Homophobia might be a factor in this but I also think that the opposite is true- if Schofield had cheated on his wife with a teenage girl who he’d known since she was a child he wouldn’t have lasted five minutes in the job let alone a few years. Having said that I remember in the late 1990s the show Queer As Folk was the first major gay themed drama produced in British TV and it began with an extremely explicit sex scene between an underage boy and a 30 year old man. This relationship was portrayed throughout the series as basically positive for the 15 year old. Age gap relationships are spoken of in a fairly positive manner as well - one character fondly recollects having sex with a school teacher and the fact that other older men openly lust after the teenager is portrayed as a joke. I don’t think that could be made now so maybe the change in attitudes to age gaps also applies to same sex relationships.

    Loon Fung is massive amazing -  Lotus cream dumpling. King prawns with spring onion and ginger, mixed seafood in a birds nest. Wonderful food.

    Was always my favourite restaurant but it has been taken over by new folk a few months ago and seems to be going really downhill
