I had a privileged evening this evening... First off, I had the privilege of passing this bike :: ... to a chap called Ben Thorp aka @benthorp I met Ben at the Emerging Church gathering that Stewart organised a while back. I was a pleasure to pass on the Carbolite to him... knowing he was in the market for a road bike. I know he'll cherish it as much as I do my BSA. I was also privileged to meet William...

I met a wee girl tonight. A very wee girl. 8lb and 10 oz to be precise. And not yet 24 hours old although she will be by the time I finish writing this. Her name is Rebecca Catherine Hepburn and I thought a piece of advice from her famous namesake would not go amiss. Her mummy and daddy are Julie and Jamie Hepburn. Jamie is a Central Scotland MSP and Julie has a good chance of being the Cumbernauld...

My parents were born and reared in Motherwell so I had a pretty good grounding in Socialist dogma which thanks to the appalling social conditions endured in Central Scotland in the nineteen thirties spawned the most entrenched and blinkered communities in the UK. Not to vote Labour in these communities is almost comparable to heresay so it was no surprise to hear that NoLab had held the Glasgow North...

. During my weeks in Tiberias, after our digging day was over I would often escape from the crowded hostel room and walk up to a hotel with real class--"The Scottie." Just to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Their brochure is titled "The Scots Hotel, St. Andrew's, Galilee, Owned and Managed by the Church of Scotland, Maintaining Christian Witness in the Land of Christ Since 1885."...

(NOTE: Justin and Andrew will enjoy this post, I imagine. Probably also Kate and Monica, if she still reads the blog. Why? The former two because it's about the different meanings one word can have and they are sometimes casual, sometimes serious linguists. The latter two because it's about Edinburgh and what it meant to me, and by extension to them. And forward we go!) The other evening, I saw a photo...

John Hughes's side lack the Brazil-esque flow of previous Hibernian teams, but are happy making Hearts jealous If financial hardship within Scottish football was supposed to hasten a wider gulf than ever between the Old Firm and the rest, somebody forgot to tell Hibernian. In this, the first season since the demise of Setanta, it had been widely and not unreasonably assumed that tighter budgetary...

BBC The dissident republican group Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) is partly responsible for the increase in paramilitary-style attacks in Derry, according to the IMC . In its latest report, the Independent Monitoring Commission referred to the "growth of vigilante organisations which claim to want to 'clean-up' (their term) anti-social behaviour". The IMC said these groups - which...

It's been amazing how quickly the SNP's reputation has gone from strategical geniuses after Glasgow East to political lightweights The story was fairly simple. David Kerr was talking up his local credentials and said he was born in the constituency whilst telling voters in Falkirk where he stood in a previous by-election that he was born in Cumbernauld; he was actually born in Govan. Of couse they...

David Kerr accused of misrepresentation after it emerges that campaigning leaflets for two previous byelection falsely claimed he had been 'born and educated' in Cumbernauld Alex Salmond has accused Labour of resorting to "desperate" tactics in the Glasgow North East byelection after the Scottish National party's candidate was accused of "fibbing" about where he was born.

Corporal Mason was injured when an improvised explosive device detonated during an operation in Kandahar province on 15 September...

Evil! Racist! Nazis! The vilifcation of Nick Griffin and his right-wing BNP party has been loud and shrill. People are right to be self-righteous and there is dignity in the indignation but beneath the clamour and amidst the din we should not lose sight of the fact that the BNP has a valid point to make. Not a point that I agree with I hasten to add, but valid nonetheless. The argument that the 'indigenous...
