@RealMacKaySTV Personal, and also a moment of proper reflection/gratitude/affection for a big audience who appreciated your presence in their lives. Literally have never heard an ordinary person say anything other than good things about John MacKay. A rare thing indeed. Enjoy the next chapter.

I think the phrase is “ some personal news”. news.stv.tv/scotland/john-…

Great article on ⁦@edwest⁩’s sub stack to read on a bleak winters day. edwest.co.uk/p/europes-abse…

Two charts… similar looking currency reactions to fiscal events… from yday depicts 0.7% fall in £ following Budget… to multi-month low (viewed 1.7m times). other shows 8% fall after mini Budget reaching at one point lowest £/$ value since Hamilton invented $ in 1792 #scales

@STVKellyAnn @akmaciver @RealMacKaySTV @STVNews I reckon @RealMacKaySTV has another 20 in him, easy

It’s an absolute pleasure sharing the screen with this one ⬇️ The news legend, John MacKay 😎 And, yeah, sorry ⁦@RealMacKaySTV⁩ … the news team just couldn’t resist digging out these from the archives to end the ⁦@STVNews⁩ at 6 tonight 🤣🤪

A retirement crisis is looming. Time for the nation to spend the same amount of time worrying about savings as it does about property #savingsladder

@RealMacKaySTV He certainly was. HNY John - say hello to everyone

@DAFYoung Was he? Good to know. Hope all is well with you.

I remember this guy.

@BBCDavidCowan I have been running this experiment nightly for years now. Rubbish strewn across my room - clothes, shoes, books, phones. NOT ONCE has a bastardin’ mouse tidied it up.

Normally “frog plays banjo” stories don’t do much for me but this is a cracker: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

Dante Polvara on a European night is genuinely top 3 midfielders in world football, and he ain’t 2nd or 3rd

My dear followers - please feel free to tweet and retweet the joyous news that my new novel Smoke on the Water is out today on Amazon. A nice bit of murder, mystery and mayhem to take you into Spring. #tartannoir #BookTwitter

@MrRaeStewart Love it Rae - after that wee glimpse some months ago, can’t wait to read the full story

So here it is. The cover for my new novel. A darkly comic tale of murder, mayhem, mystery - and a Glasgow gangland monster you won’t forget in a hurry. Once the killing starts, can anyone stop him? I love it. Thanks to designer Simon Avery. #CrimeFiction #writing #Books

@NicholaKane_ @westlifemusic @ShaneFilan @NickyByrne Can we have a ‘Where are they now?’? Aye, the fans featured, not Westlife.

Looking through some archive material from when I was a reporter and this package has made me laugh A LOT. If you were a teenage @westlifemusic fan in Scotland 20 years ago you should be very worried about clicking on this link! @shanefilan @nickybyrne #westlife

@ukgolfguy Poor condition and a few (newer?) parklandy holes that disappointed. Had set my expectations too high - should probably try again…

@DAFYoung What did Scotscraig do to upset you?!

Excuse the derivative tweet! Course I like: Riviera Course I love: Kingston Heath Course I most feel myself on: North Berwick Course I most want to play: Cypress Point Course I dislike: Gleneagles PGA Course I think is overrated: Old Head Yours? Could be in your town or the 🌎

@mrneilforsyth ICT spies everywhere

@EdinburghRugby a friend has kindly offered me use of his season ticket for today’s game, but had accidentally taken it away with him - can it be transferred electronically?

One for you @TheVassFiles - an at first glance incongruous cover by a large, red headed cockney… youtube.com/watch?v=TtYWcA…

@TheVassFiles Very welcome - I bow to no-one in my love of Rick James and Shalamar. Am heading up PR at abrdn nowadays, all very corporate. Masses of luck with the book!

@DAFYoung Hero thanks Duncan!! Great to hear from you. Where u at these days??

Tracks that will feature heavily in my #synthrnb book #2: this total classic by New York's D Train from 1981. #letthemusicplay youtube.com/watch?v=v6Xqmj…
