Greg Andrew has no Oscars

@Masterbotter @SamaHoole Scottish person here. We eat it alot.

@SamaHoole The Scots dont eat haggis very often. So its no biggie. Its like the christmas goose. It used to be a thing now its just kinda a tradition type thing.

Haggis is the single food item currently banned from import into the United States of America because it contains sheep's lung. Sheep's lung has been declared, by the USDA, an inedible offal. The ban was imposed in 1971 and remains in place. The Scottish reaction to this ban has, for fifty years, ranged from bafflement to mild amusement. Sheep's lung has been eaten in Scotland, daily, without incident, for approximately eight hundred years. It is the binding ingredient that holds the minced sheep's heart, liver, onion, oatmeal, suet, and spices together inside the stomach casing. It is the reason haggis exists. Scottish children are fed haggis on Burns Night, 25th of January, every year. They eat it at school. At home. At pubs. At weddings. At every ceremony the national poet is toasted at. Burns Night is, in Britain, effectively the last public occasion on which a whole generation still encounters a dish made from an animal's lungs, heart, and liver, stuffed into its own stomach, and eaten communally. This used to be normal food. Every rural British household knew some version of it. Faggots in the Midlands. Brawn everywhere. Black pudding in Lancashire. Drisheen in the West Country. The whole animal was used because the whole animal was available and it was cheaper than buying specific cuts. Now, once a year, the Scottish remind everyone else that this food exists. The rest of the year, it is marketed as a quaint regional oddity for tourists. The nutritional profile of a traditional haggis is substantial. Per 100 grams: 14g protein, 22g fat, significant B12, iron, zinc, and the specific fat-soluble vitamins that concentrate in organ meat. The Americans have been missing out for fifty years because of a regulatory decision made in 1971 on the basis of a sanitary concern that was probably already obsolete. The Scots have been eating it the whole time. The Scots have not died of it.

@zoerosebryant Yup

Glasgow Central will remain closed at least into Tuesday, while @fire_scot work to contain the fire on Union Street and make the area safe. Once that’s complete, our team need to inspect the station itself for any damage. As soon as we can share more news on timescales, we will.

If John had shouted it as I'm on a stage and wasn't told beforehand that he was there, I'd be embarrassed, go back stage, ask what happened, be told why, what and when then gone and found him, give him a hug, laughed and said "fuck all to worry about, how are you pal?". If I'd have been on the stage and known he was there and he shouted it out, I'd have said " we've got the amazing John Davidson in the house, I've seen both documentaries as a young man, will watch what I hear is and incredible film and look forward to a beer with him during the after party. Disability and Tourettes isn't a crime, go to Tourettes Action UK to teach yourself about John's world".

#RIPRobertDuvall (1931-2026).

RIP Robert Duvall (1931-2026) Robert Duvall is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors of all time. His contribution to Cinema is immense. He was a part of one of the most important periods of American Cinema & featured in many of the masterpieces, with "Apocalypse Now" (1979, Coppola) being one of them. This is one of the most iconic lines in the History of Cinema. He will be missed by all.

Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall, who starred in such films as The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, has sadly died at the age of 95. He will be sorely missed, and our thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.
