I feel I've not harassed people into buying my book lately, so, if you want my kids to be fed this weekend, why not snap up what one reviewer called: "A fantastic debut [with] gutter-dredging sweary silencers". amazon.co.uk/Dead-Cat-Bounc…

@ScottWWright Was chatting to a mate about the big acts paying a tour levy to support small venues. I paid £130 in fees for 2x Taylor Swift tickets. Why can £10 of that not go to venues in the city of the gig? Would be a game changers.

Wrote about a topic close to my heart for today's column - the plight of our grassroots music venues and what can be done to halt their decline: heraldscotland.com/news/24260790.…

@Kenny__Stewart That might just be your all time second best tweet, Kenny.

@LadyCatHT @kacnutt @andrewlearmonth Great news! Congrats Cat. And congrats pol team!

🚨 A wee bit of work news I'm moving from The Herald's digital team to a new role with our politics squad. Really looking forward to working more closely with @kacnutt and @andrewlearmonth (and hoping the feeling is mutual).

@jamiesmart @DFB_storyhouse Congratulations. The difference your books (esp B vs M) have made to my kid’s love for reading is huge. And he’s lucky enough to have two signed copies!

We just heard today that I’ve sold a million books with @DFB_storyhouse. A million. Flipping heck! Thank you so much to all the amazing booksellers and the incredible readers, all the team at DFB and Phoenix, and my wonderful agent Jodie. Having a bubble tea to celebrate 🥳🥳🥳

@Joannechocolat This is why I can never delete this app.

Roses are red Cows are mammalians

@NickRodger1 At this time of year I always spare a thought for people new to the UK and having it whispered to them with great subtlety that actually, it’s pronounced “cream” egg.

May be viewed as an act of heresy in some parishes and worthy of drowning in the village pond, but ah think the Creme Egg bar is actually better than the egg...

@StephenCVGraham I blame Paw Patrol

@ColinBEdgar You know, every now and then I think about just deleting my account, and then along comes the counter argument.

If you’re thinking of buying a bike you need to read this thread first. You need to be clear whether you’re looking for a bike or an articulated lorry. They’re very similar and it’s easy to get them mixed up.

@ellieraven Lightweight

@RoryOlcayto @heraldscotland Good to hear you shouting about what we *could* have in Glasgow. Having spent big chunks of this year in Sydney (granted a much bigger city), it’s staggering to live in a city that functions efficiently and looks good while doing it.

I spoke with sympatico, thoughtful mark smith of @heraldscotland about ‘shipwrecked’ Glasgow…and he wrote this ✊🏼 heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

@ellieraven Perfect

Twitter was good, wasn't it, back in the day.

I may be working on the other side of t'world at the moment, but it's brilliant to see the @PwC_UK Annual Report land - as ever it's about way more than numbers, and a fantastic story of a year in the lives of our people and client projects. Dive on in...

@MCQPR Could be worse Nic…

Stuck in Faro, at the gate, delayed. Could be worse. 5 lads ending a stag, looking like death, got on the bus before the air traffic control news broke and now they can’t get off it🤪

@kathy__odonnell I suspect that’s entirely the point

@JosephDanger @FRabbits At the Arches c.2005/06 , where Twilight Sad as support had just blown the roof off the place, FR came out and Scott greeted the crowd with thanking TS and something along the lines of “I was nervous before but I’m absolutely shiteing it now”. He had nothing to worry about.

Great to see Taylor Swift in the crowd at @delgados_the last night at @SummernightsKGB

@WilsonC75HT Great work. That looks excellent.

Tablet might well be worth the time it takes to create it ☺️

@kathy__odonnell SO annoying. I want away from this binfire app

Threads not going well on the technical side for me. Has @elonmusk been playing about with it?
