@NeilSimmy8 @NeilDrysdale Was a very entertaining evening. Thank you both. Working my way through the book and enjoying it. Makes a change from my usual crime fiction!

The next leg of the book 📕 tour saw myself and @NeilDrysdale speak to an audience at Mannofield cricket club. The venue where we met on a regular basis to write SIMMY-Tackling Life with Aberdeen and Fergie. Hall Morrice&No10 next week. Visit neilsimpson8.com for details

I missed the book launch due to my Dad modelling for Brave last week!

@NeilDrysdale @NeilSimmy8 Ordered Simmy’s book for my Dad for Father’s Day (organised or what?) and now we’re coming the cricket club tonight! I’m going to have to convince him he doesn’t want to buy a copy 🤣 I downloaded on kindle last night.

@TraceyNeilson10 @jamthrawn We might need to spend some time in a bar after our food! Looking forward to this and I think James might be in a good mood!

@jamthrawn @granite1903 x

Tonight’s show and times.

@DouglasRob0 And lower earners only have to pay 19%. We’re all struggling with cost of living and if I’m fortunate enough to pay a little more than rUK, I’ll happily pay that to help someone pay less who has less income.

Young teacher (26) told me today she is cutting down to 4 days because of the high Scottish tax level. She is only dropping a few £hundred in pay as result. Definitely worth looking into for any teacher, no point working a fifth day for such a low return

@TraceyNeilson10 @1953FlyingScot @the_bluebells1 @welshjb @dvdmcc @FriendsAgain2 I was on for the tickets at 9 - even though I only remembered about 5 mins before! And thanks to my travel agent for organising the accommodation!

@1953FlyingScot @the_bluebells1 @welshjb @dvdmcc @FriendsAgain2 Awh, my good friend @granite1903 was on the case for me sharp. Talk to the right people in the know 😉

Hands up if you’re going to see @FriendsAgain2 and @the_bluebells1 at Kelvingrove Bandstand!! 🖐️🖐️🖐️

@NeilDrysdale @AuntieSyzygy A lot of side roads have been no better. Took my Dad about an hour to get his car in his drive last week after a hospital appointment. And that’s in a 4WD. Grateful he has good neighbours

@AuntieSyzygy I’ve been told the council didn’t order any salt until 9,000 tons arrived on Thursday - a week after the snow arrived. That is sheer incompetence!

I’ve just “walked” down from Countesswells to Mannofield in Aberdeen to collect a prescription. The pavements are an absolute f***ing death trap. No sign of grit, nothing to help older people, the council should be ashamed!

@IamTomWalker Gotta say that the main reason I bought tickets to see Tom Grennan was due to you supporting him. Amazing to see you at P&J Live - so different from the Tunnels!

2025!! What a year!!! It's been epic!! 🥳 Just wanna say a humongous thank you to everyone who came out to watch a show and supported me by listening to my tunes! Also wanna say a massive thank you to all the lovely bands and artists who had us on the road with them this year

@evri_hub5 I don’t believe Evri were this issue on this occasion. I think that someone at Printerprix put the envelope in the Royal Mail bin in error. Not that anyone at printerprix would acknowledge the issue

@granite1903 Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We really apologize for the frustrating moment. Kindly follow back and DM your contact number. Thank you.

O2 price rise feels like a mockery of Ofcom’s consumer protection! O2 has announced that from April 2026, mobile customers will see their monthly bills rise by MORE THAN IT TOLD THEM, £30 a year – up 40% from the £21.60 annual increase previously written into their contracts. Full help to beat it here, you need act quick... moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/10/o… Here is my press statement on this debacle... ---------------- This move feels to me a bit like it makes a mockery of @Ofcom's new 'pounds and pence' consumer protection regime, which came in at the start of this year. It was the regulator's solution to hideous above-inflation, mid-contract price hikes was that on sign-up firms should tell you in advance, in pounds and pence, the price hikes you'll face during the contract period. Sky has side-stepped this from the start by saying it wouldn't tell customers of the rises before they sign up, but instead when it does annual price hikes it will allow them to leave penalty free. Now O2 is also dancing away, increasing contracts by more than it said it would when people signed up. And while that means all its impacted mobile customers can leave penalty-free – and many should – we know few will. Most will likely just have to suck up a rise that was more than they were told when they signed up. The worry is now O2 has opened the door to this behaviour other mobile firms will feel less worried about following suit. It's a great regret that when Ofcom consulted on these changes it didn't listen to the proposal I and others made to simply ban above-inflation, mid-contract price rises (or any mid-contract rises). And it's worth noting the rises O2 had told customers of in advance were already usually far above inflation, but now will typically be at least 7% and up to 30%. And all this adds more inflationary pressure to the economy in its own right.

@GMB Redundancy is capped at around £700 per week and 2 years service is required. Maybe if government ministers want their payouts, they need to look at the statutory redundancy policy

New rules ban Government Minister payouts for 'serious breaches' - but Angela Rayner still received £17,000, with her team insisting the breach wasn’t 'serious.'  Should ministers who quit the government get payouts?

@R0Poem If they kept the seagulls at bay at Pittodrie, I’m all for it 🤣. However I think our seagulls are so brazen, they’d attack the drones!

Can’t be long till drones are refereeing matches .. with built in bias programmed in of course .. yankodesign.com/2024/04/21/thi…

@KevinStewartSNP And even though we have the energy, we pay higher daily charges than London. Can you imagine thhow uproar if London charges were as high as ours?

Labour lied about reducing household energy bills and we are paying the price for Westminster’s failures. Scotland has the energy, it’s now time for us to have the power. Independence! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@klr_says Typical 🤣

@klr_says Where’s the photos of the pesky swans? What a story though! Here’s to fishing for some goals tomorrow night with the same success!

Crazy story from my morning. Stop to take photos of swans from Diamond Bridge, drop phone in River Don! Complete panic 😲 Continue to work, grab some waders & head back to go 'fishing' for phone. Could see it clearly from the bridge, had a colleague direct me & another...
