I had the pleasure of Garry’s talents, humour and hard work back when I ran the Record website (before they ruined it). Can absolutely recommend him as a GBOL if anyone’s needing any knowledgable and talented subs.

Big development on our July storyabout a dodgy tax relief claim by Dundee United and tax firm ZLX.

The club made a huge claim for R&D tax relief which said that 24% of the players' time, and 80% of the chef's time, was spent on "research and development".

Not credible.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Aaah, I see BBC Alba are at it again. "We need more money. S4C gets more than us. It's not fair."

Yes, it does. But you know why? Because we know exactly how many people watch.

14 years after you launched on Freeview, you *still* aren't on BARB despite being a condition of getting aDTT slot.

100% this. It’s a tidy up rewrite and another couple of hundred grand in the budget away from being regarded as one of the properly classic 80s genre flicks.
