It is indeed, and I know it's about the Street Kids' football, (which is a great cause, agreed) but there's an interesting article here about the statue.
I'm very unsure that blowing up five blocks of local authority housing to celebrate the opening of the Commonwealth Games portrays the correct image of Glasgow.
No wonder the baton runners are drawing lots to see who takes it through the east end.

Stop press: Michael Parkinson interviews Ellie Goulding on Sky Arts on Tuesday. Will she sign up to pay in more than she gets out. Will she get a free Parker pen?
I saw the Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Christine McVie, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood line-up in January 1971. Jeremy Spencer left on St. Valentine's Day. Perhaps he'll rejoin now.

James Taylor's OK, though.

Delete...the good news is though that christine mcvey has received a large electricity bill and is back on board with the mac...
ReplyDeletecheers frae the dale
DeleteEveryone is receiving large electricity bills.
And the authorities in Kiev have received an extremely large gas bill. I bet they're glad it's not winter...
They should Putin a new boiler.

DeleteEither that or prepare for a very Cold War.
