Driving back from Dunblane on Sunday afternoon and laughing at a programme on Radio Scotland when I realised that it was Kiera Murphy, friend of the Mercat Bar and comedienne - really good.
On the other hand, Alex (fishy) Salmond's attempt at humour by publishing, probably at public expense, his outline paper for an Independent Scotland - certainly hit the spot - no doubt a funnier read that the "Oor Willie" album, but I will stick too Oor Willie, not because there are more pictures but it is more believable.
Not sure how many trees were wasted in the publication, but I am sure the six hundred foot high wind generator anchored in the bay at Methill, Fife, will produce enough power to compensate - provided we get a stiff breeze and it does not fall over.
On a more serious and sadder note, terrible tragedy in East Lothian with the deaths of three teenagers in a car crash near Tyningham a couple of days ago - town of Dunbar in shock. This morning, another serious accident on the A68 (Dalkeith by pass) near Whitecraig - no news yet as to whether it is also a fatal.
Been busy as usual dotting between the two Mercat Bars, even managed to do some of my own work and also get down to RA 500, Laird O Cockpen, on Tuesday night - not a big attendance, but those who could not make it missed an excellent evening, well done Sparky.
Been into the City these past few days, what a nightmare, roadworks, traffic lights blocking the road all in the name of health and safety, potholes everywhere and the cars suspension taking a real hammering. City planners having a laugh, new housing developments ringing the town, adding to the congestion trying to get in - soon be the case that the only way into the centre of the city will be by train or tram - and Princes Street will be the domain of tourists and immigrant beggars. No wonder everyone is heading for the out of town shopping centres.
Up sharp for my breakfast meeting with the BNI, then lots to do at the pub - no rest for the wicked over the weekend.
