In a few weeks im giving up football forever. Probably wont even play fives anymore, my knees have had enough.

I need a great new hobby to replace the old habbit of a lifetime.

What is the best hobby in the world? 

Im looking for…. 1) Fun  2) Excitement 3) Entertainment 4) A Challenge 5) A Reward

Im not interested in anything mental like Ninjitsu or Bungee Jumping. I want something that is exciting and recognized as a sport so i could win things. Something that i dont need to be gifted to be to be good at, and something that doesn’t require hunners of fitness.

Im thinking surfing or some kind of flying but im open to ideas so this is your chance to inspire me.

Lets here some suggestions!

She’s captain of the scottish curling team, she plays the bagpipes and has the same birthday as me, April 22nd. 

She is absolutely definately the one!

I’ve had 2 in the last 3 days and 4 in total since the blog started 8 months ago.

One of the most hyped up then forgotten about movies ever!

This was big news upon its release in 1993. Today its unheard of!  Never on telly or the satelite channels, and hard to find on dvd.

Here is the basic plot………

Brilliant surgeon wants lovely lassie but can’t win her.  She gets hit by a car and instead of taking her to hospital he takes her home….. 

He cuts her legs off, cuts her arms off, puts her in a box and pumps her rotten.

I know what you’re thinking. “whats wrong with that?” but it was possibly the most controversial film ever at the time.

Does anyone remember this film? And can you find a more controversial movie than this?

Does anybody know anything about Methedrone? 

I first heard of it a week ago when it was linked to three deaths, two in Scunthorpe, one here in Scotland and news has just broke of a fourth death, a woman from Malton in Yorkshire.

Has anyone tried it? And what is the fuck is it? At a guess id say it was a powder like speed or coke, either snorted or ingested.

Lets get the word out there that this is fucking fatal batch of shite!

Rangers won the first trophy of the football season yesterday, the league cup. I watched it on the telly and a really good game it was.  St Mirren dominated Rangers in the first half and were unlucky not to score. Rangers had two players sent off in the second half, but St Mirren still couldn’t break them down and Kenny Miller scored the winner for Rangers with around seven minutes left.

I was passing through Paisley shortly after the match and caught some shots of the black and white army fans returning home from Hampden. They have a good team and i hope they can stay in the premier league this season.

It occurred to me the other day that we might be in the early stages of world war three.

The current war on terror could later be regarded as the third world war, in the same way the great war of 1914-18 later became known as world war one.

I see our Soldiers in Afghanistan on the news nearly every single day. Its never far from my thoughts, but i can’t see myself ever volunteering to go and fight there. It’s not a fear of death, were all going to die sometime, but there is a definate mistrust of the government in the back of my mind that makes me not want to give my life for them.

The most famous conscientious objector of all time was probably Muhammad Ali, who refused to fight in the Vietnam war for religious reasons, later adding ” I aint got no quarrel with them Viet cong. They never called me nigger.”

Technically im not a conscientious objector, neither is anyone else in Britain because there is no conscription in this country anymore. If the current war escalated and conscription came back, we would all have to make a descision to fight or not. Personally i’d choose the navy over the army if the choice were there, but realisticly most people would be sent to the army, to the front line, with a fucking machine gun.

I spotted this on the news yesterday, it happened about a month ago on the A1 in England.

Whats going on here? This is no accident, the lorry driver is accelerating all the way and there’s a person inside the car!

My guess is bloke in car shagged lorry drivers daughter and/or wife.

now watch my hit counter soar  ;-)

Here i am on my bike tour of Scotland last year. It took me about 5 days  to cover most of the mainland from Lockerbie in the south, Aberdeen in the east and Ullapool in the far north.  An experienced rider could have done the same distance in a day, but i was just happy to make it home in one piece.

These shots are from the West Highland way, the Great Glen way and the Northern Highlands.  This year i’m going to do the Western Isles and the Hebrides with a little help from Caledonian MacBrayne ferries.
