If you're new to Scotland World Cup qualifiers, this is where we get a goal back too late to be useful, and miss a chance good enough for some people to think it was an unlucky defeat. #GRESCO

It's a huge day of consequential international football, so I hope everyone is watching East Fife v Stenhousemuir (3rd v 6th in Scottish league one), live and exclusive right now on BBC Alba with commentary in Gaelic.

I don't see why there's all this problem with making a new Bond film when "Somehow, Bond returned" is already the accepted format for these situations.

Just watched the new Fantastic Four, which was perfectly fine with some nice bits but once again I'm probably good for Fantastic Four films for another decade.

The Musk 'pay award' is the ultimate version of the sports headline "xxxx signs $120m, 5-year deal" which turns out to be $22m guaranteed over two and the team has an opt out after year one and to get it all they have to win five Super Bowls, a World Snooker Championship and a Grand National.

I have just found out that apparently there is a Big Brother happening right now, or possibly ITV have just started taking hostages, the advert wasn't clear.

One day, I will deal with a UK public body which manages to do the absolute bare minimum, or at least not be actively harmful. Once again, today is not the day.

It's so sad it has to be squeezed in between fireworks rows and poppy discourse, and in danger of being overshadowed by elections that don't affect us. The culture war calendar is too crowded and the players are exhausted.
Oh, it's John Lewis advert day, is it? Baggage to the rear and tin hats on for the most tedious leg of the culture war calendar.
