Sad to see the death of Mikhail Gorbachev. I was born in the early 70's and growing up during the cold war era was a scary time. Personally, what Gorbachev did means more to me than any other politician in my life time. The Soviet union and the Eastern Bloc would have collapsed at sometime, but Gorbachev speeded things up. Even up to his death he was a critic of Putin and that makes him a top man in my eyes. RIP

An Sgurr on Eigg would be my guess as where the photo was taken.

Isle of Rum from the Isle of Eigg?

I kind of felt that way too. But watching this... Oooft, he's going to be a player.

A good read, mate.

I'm reading Skagboys by Irvine Welsh at the moment. But I have Alan Park's books up next. I need to re-read The Laidlaw books again. Have you read any of Liam McIlvanney's books, Al? The Quaker was excellent.

I see he signed a 4 year deal at Celtic last year. There seems to be talk that the lad is very promising so It would surprise me if they are trying to get rid of the lad so soon. If It's just your normal bog standard loan, well, fuck that.

Will have to look that one up, Al. Is it a bit like Laidlaw by William McIlvanney?

Also Alan White the drummer from Yes gone.

First England then the Huns.

@Elgindon Do you have a list of mountains that you want to get done this summer? Or do you just go with the flow?

Saw this band lave a few years ago. They were excellent.

I couldn't stand Warne, but 52 is way too young and he was a one of a kind on the cricket pitch. R.I.P

What's Bono up to these days?

If you asked me a week ago I would have said that there would be no chance of a war. But now...

Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees. Only 57. I was in my late teens when the Grunge scene was on the go. Ahh, the memories. https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/singer-mark-lanegan-dead-at-57-3581470

Happy with this.

Stewart Petrie?

Paul Lambert ?

I was 18 the last time we won the Scottish Cup...

In 24 years of being a manager, Bruce has been manager of 12 teams. He looked fucked stress wise in his last few months at Newcastle. Why go back into being a manager so soon and It's not like he's short of a bob after his pay off from Newcastle?

I see McInnes still can't win against the big teams.
