@nikidoog Greg Erico doesn’t get enough credit for holding the exuberance together.

Sly & The Family Stone - Everyday People A joyful plea for unity and harmony distilled into two minutes of utopian pop perfection. Powerful song, powerful message, and its nursery rhyme simplicity ensures it sinks in. 1969.

@Fergie_CJ @TheParty1sOver Can’t find it online but there was a national conference in Balloch so our CA and branches should have had a host role but were totally ignored. However there was a general bad feeling around that time.
English
@TheParty1sOver When was that from? I tried to join in 2004 due to the Iraq war. Sent a cheque and form, never heard anything, cheque not cashed. Just thought they were incompetent, but after Johns second stint, I'm thinking it was more than that. They should have had a huge influx over Iraq 🤔

Murrell & Swinney ..there's something falling into place for me....all these years later...

@ReplacetheM8 @RuairiKelly_ What was the point of taking down Sighthill just to move it 3 miles away.
English
@RuairiKelly_ The main driver is referring to the stadium - a totally different use with a layout fit for it's purpose. This layout is less fit for purpose as a residential place. Too much height and density and too expansive an open space. Not Glasgow. This is 1950s soviet place making.
English
My diplomatic thoughts on this are that it doesn't really appear to meet modern place making goals....

As an arm's length operation of the British state, the BBC delivers 🇬🇧 state purposes in Scotland. Funded by a tax collected and set by the UK government, its Chair appointed by the PM, it's as close to a government department as it could be while still being deniable on paper.

Mick’s curriculum is fascinating. As well as being all over the Brit scene in the 70s , Mick Ronson co produced Lou Reed’s Transformer.
He also played in Bob Dylan’s backing band during the Rolling Thunder Revue .

Jeremy Vine an awful arrogant shit stirrer.
But this time he seems to have gone too far his post about the cost of disabled people was exactly the strategy the Nazis used.
Now there are calls for him to be fired.
If you think it’s time to end his hate. RT

Playing the Associates. Never realised before that Martyn Ware produced some of their stuff, but now listening to Those First Impressions it makes perfect sense.

@anon_opin Quite right. Their chances of pishing their breeks are a little higher than zip kids.

Come the revolution, whoever decided to put button flies, rather than a zip, on my trousers will be first against the wall.

@moragduncan In the wider Glasgow area. Only 4 actually born/ brought up in Glasgow. Only 2 of Rangers 72 team and 1 Aberdonian in 83.
English
First team in Britain to win the European Cup. All the team were born and grew up in Glasgow 🏴

59 years ago today. A display in the boardroom at Celtic Park, Glasgow serves as a constant reminder to those sitting around the table beside it what the expected standard is.

@joe_yer99 The area beyond the Titan is zoned for housing, and the easterly area mixed use. Depends where they want to build and the housing types but knowing Barratt it’ll be low density keech.
English
Barratt - "fuck the councils Masterplan. We will build what we want."
and it will be pure pish.

Sly and The Family Stone - (You Caught Me) Smilin'
A blissful blues that’s honeyed in sound, gloomy in feel, and coated in self-deception. The sound of sunshine peeking through the rain clouds, yet Sly seems lonely and lost.
1971.

@caroline_binnie @NewWaveAndPunk @voodoorooms @WillietheFly @ladystardust31 @cathi_simpson @NYcheesy @ScotsPostPunk Aye. Knee replacement and I know it was seated but I’d have tried to dance. Sure she’ll be back.

@DRFW @NewWaveAndPunk @voodoorooms @WillietheFly @ladystardust31 @cathi_simpson @NYcheesy @ScotsPostPunk Phenomenal as always, she’s got so much stage presence. Fingers crossed you feel fitter soon :))

New phone, new man, new car…

@steveja89368890 @DannyConway1875 @IainAlasdair @Dougmcg1 Oh dear. It’s your language, we learned it under threats of violence by teachers. Why are you so wilfully ignorant. Hmm, maybe not wilfully.
English
@DRFW @DannyConway1875 @IainAlasdair @Dougmcg1 Thanks for admitting you made it up. So we can concur that you make things up. And the majority of what you tweet is such.
English
@steveja89368890 @DannyConway1875 @IainAlasdair @Dougmcg1 Of course it’s a nonsense figure. That’s the point in negotiations.
The English may just be thick enough to consider it.

@DRFW @DannyConway1875 @IainAlasdair @Dougmcg1 Again you just plucked that figure from thin air didn’t you. Shall we try again or are you just not up to it.
