@hinchy007 @LozzaFox At. Least. He's. Not. Bald.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please. Whatever you do, don't get embarrassed about the level of this post and delete it. I beg you. Leave it here. When times are tough, and they will be, I'll come back to this for a laugh and to draw some comfort. Thank you ❤️

@RobAllen1981 @LozzaFox At least he’s not bald. There’s always that.

Last night I went out to dinner with my wife and some friends. Some of whom happened to be black and some of whom happened to be gay - not that that should make any difference to anything in in Britain in 2026 - where everyone is so incredibly kind and everyone is so included and welcome.
When we arrived at the restaurant I could tell immediately that the manager recognised me - and he wasn’t a fan.
In these rare circumstances I tend to overcompensate and be extra polite and courteous to win people round, but nothing worked with this bloke. He was rude to the point of open hostility. Wanting to enjoy the evening - which we did enormously - I just tried to ignore him.
As the meal finished and we were leaving, I asked for the gentleman’s name so I could write to the management of the restaurant with my thoughts about the service - or lack therof - He refused to give me his name and proceeded to tell me that he didn’t need to be polite to racists and a homophobes - even after I politely reminded him of the fact that i was sat at a table well stocked with homosexuals and black people.
So instead I took a photo of him and said if he refused to give me his name then the photo would help identify him in my correspondence.
The minute I did this his entire demeanour changed and he started to realise that there were going to be potential consequences for being so rude and unprofessional. He began to apologise profusely and - long story short - we ended up sat together at the bar with him telling me he was sorry for jumping to conclusions and that he had had a horrible day he had and before I left we gave each other a hug. He even texted when he finished his shift to apologise again. New friend made. So it’s all good!
But it reminded me what irritates me about the media. This man had read the one sided dross that the dying media put out and despite the fact that I was sat having a laugh with a very “diverse” table of friends, he refused to let go of his own bigotry and prejudice, to the point where he was happy to potentially jeopardise his job over it.
I get that we live in a world where the media likes to make monsters of certain people, and I don’t expect everyone to agree with what I say. I get recognised quite often and commentary goes with the territory, people express strong views - both positive and negative - about what I think, which is great. You may have noticed, i’m very pro free speech and people expressing different views! The more the merrier! I am still however a human being, with feelings and emotions, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask to be able to go out to a restaurant to eat with my wife and friends without a waiter trying to do everything he can to ruin our evening.
We don’t often go out to restaurants we don’t know well for just this reason and after last night, it will be a while before I do again.
So might you do yourselves a favour dying media? Try to be at least balanced when you write about people. You would have saved this poor chap and myself an unnecessary and unpleasant experience. You are already on your last legs. Perhaps you should ask yourselves why your audience is getting smaller and smaller with every passing day?
Many thanks. Happy Sunday. 🙏

Donald Trump, at almost 80, is going to die sooner than we think.
Bookmark this. When Trump passes, there will be an absolute ORGY of grotesque delight on the Left and even among moderates. They will celebrate in the streets and hold parties. It will be a macabre display, such as we've never seen yet.
It will make their celebration of Charlie Kirk's murder look like your great aunt Mildred's church tea party.
Mark my words.

@MarkF1874 @DominikDiamond When Hearts beat Celtic in November we went three points clear. We're two points clear in the middle of March. At the rate we're imploding Celtic will catch us just about the same time as Scotland kick off against Brazil. But the second best Gamesmaster host has spoken, so... ❤️

@SantosCooks This is not new. Katie Taylor has been speaking like this for a long time now and those around her should have done something about it a while ago because a boxer almost always needs saving from themself.

@The_FOH Is 'The Sergio' returning? Not before time.
'If you believe that losing puts the pressure onto the other team that wins more times, okay, you keep losing. Keep losing and put the pressure onto us.'

@harrisonlowman Fuck off. You've had 900 years notice. People making decisions on laws for no other reason than somebody nearly a millennium ago wanted to buy favours from your relative? Cheerio.

“One of the departing hereditaries, the Earl of Devon, said the bill was regrettable.
He said his family had been in the Lords for 900 years - and complained the notice period was less than required in employment law.
"I think this House, Parliament, and the public more widely will miss us," the Earl of Devon said.”

@allanmcsorley84 @GorgieTalk They've been brilliant. They're also playing without zero pressure other than to totally commit to playing a certain way. If its a four way shootout on the last day there will still be zero pressure on them to win the league. Thats a huge advantage to have that freedom to play.
English

@GorgieTalk 7 draws at the start of the season has hindered us. If those 2 draws against hearts were wins, which they should’ve been, & win the game in hand we’d only be a point behind. Only 3 losses & 18 goals at this point while playing attractive football deserves credit.
English

It’s going to be an unpopular opinion but I’m not feeing the Motherwell love in.
Hear me out, I’ve watched them twice vs Hearts. 3 hours +, both games they played well, really well and they won neither.
They were 3-0 up first time around and were lucky not to lose. I’m trying to look at this through a different lens, I’m all for entertaining football but there’s no denying pretty football doesn’t guarantee success.
Hammered by St Mirren in the cup final and are currently 4th behind two of the worst old firm sides people have ever seen. Not to mention they’ve not won 50% of their league games and sit with only 2 more wins than Hibs and Falkirk.
What Askou has done with his budget, his implementation of style of play has been remarkable but best team in the UK? Not for me.

Football Park Scotland@FP_Scotland
"They've been the best football team I've seen North or South of the border this season." 🌟 High-praise for Jens Berthel Askou's Motherwell coming from Chris Sutton! Can you think of any other team this season that could challenge them to this honour? 🤔

@MartinF1903 Thanks for your concern Martin. That's really kind of you especially given the state of your team at present. That level of concern and awareness for others is truly special in the face of such personal trauma and anxiety. Thanks again 😅😅😅❤️
English

Completely agree with Chris Sutton here 👍.
Mcinnes seems to be getting very excited at the possibility of winning the title. I am fine with him being excited but the way he's going about it just looks off.

@CelticFC are so bad that its actually making me think the sheep have a chance against them during the week and @AberdeenFC yesterday were comfortably the worst gang that have come to Tynie so far this season ❤️ 😅 #AlwaysHearts

@MaxiGonzalez_23 Its class that he thanked Tony McCarroll as well.

Today will be my third time at Tynecastle
I’ve seen us lose a cup quarter final on penalties and lose 5-0
Is today third times the charm? I fucking hope so

Matchday at Tynecastle! 🫵

@RFC_Michael_ @RangersFC I remember them well. I'll be honest, far too successful for my liking when I was growing up. But death affects everyone differently and your grief over their passing trumps my joy at their demise. So, sincerely, my thoughts are with you at this sad time. RIP
