@GordonBarr "Could this partial circular brick structure perhaps be a surviving part of base of chimney from Carriden Colliery visible on old OS maps & in Trove pic?" Sounds like a line from Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World 😅. As Clark often mused, "we may never know"...

Lovely wander along Bo’ness foreshore yesterday - some excellent interesting bricks spotted. Could this partial circular brick structure perhaps be a surviving part of base of chimney from Carriden Colliery visible on old OS maps & in Trove pic? location roughly fits at least!

@RMLLowe I’ve gone mini. The chocolate to crème ratio is better. Unless you love the crème a lot….

Remembering Patrick McGoohan, BOTD in 1928 in Astoria, Queens, NYC. Actor, director, writer. Unpredictable, creative, self-willed, demanding, anarchic. More than anything else, perhaps, a unique force of nature. Six of my favourite on-screen Pat performances... 1/7

Just stopped Groundskeeper Willie with a distinctive bottle labelled "Pukefast" 😂. Truly a Lanarkshire alumnus.

Government Legal Department still using the old coat of arms, and how on earth do they manage to write “Secretary State” in an official letter?

One of the downsides of the Winter Olympics is that once again I hear the word 'medal' used as a verb. Yes, I know it's widely accepted usage nowadays and that language evolves etc., but it still grates on the ear.

To my shame I have only just learned this very moment that ibuprofen was invented in Nottingham. Inspired partly by one of the inventors wanting a cure for his hangovers.

@lanarkboy Vile. Both the concept and the 'e'. Though J W Red Label is pretty rough to start out with 😁

Going into Westminster Abbey is like standing at the gate with Mr Fiddler in Carry on Camping.

@TheTartanScarf Exactly! In the past, a typical Scottish player would have found a way of hoofing the ball over the bar from 1 yard out. (No relation, by the way)

@jdpoc "Sole, Lundy, Fastnet, Irish sea", uninterrupted, is the magic sequence. As per Thomas Dolby's "Windpower"

it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week. Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined. Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen. The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.

41 years since Blue Nile released "Tinseltown in the Rain" as a single. What a track, from a great album, that was followed-up by the even better (IMHO) album "Hats". The latter being my late-night, melancholy, go-to vinyl.

@JHNaismith I wonder what marvelous scientific breakthroughs might have transpired if Erice had had the foresight to lubricate their conferences with Super 🤔

You travel all the way to Venice (Lido di Jesolo) only to find one of the favourites of Scottish down-and-outs in the grocery store. And yes, I did buy one for nostalgic reasons.
