Helps people make software for people. Scottish. Loves music of various volume and intensity. Fitba. Got married to No. 2 in The Village. He/Him.

Opinions = personal and all that jazz.
Mosob in Glasgow is definitely worth a try. Introduced to me by a couple of Sudanese and Eritrean mates.

Was a metalhead at the time. Friend put that track on a mixtape for me and it blew my 16-year old mind.

Cool, my first question is already “How do I turn it off?”.

Probably in a minority here, but I’d hang fire on that one to see how he gets on with Lawell and Tisdale out the picture.

Ange was vocal about their working relationship and how they were aligned on strategic direction for the club - and big Ange doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

Starting to think Celtic hobble players to stop them from escaping…

Problem is I don’t see a route to independence between now and then. And if Reform took power then I think the devolved parliaments in Wales and Scotland lose powers at best, and get dismantled at worst.

Our best (only?) hope of independence in the foreseeable is a Green majority in Westminster.

Yeah, I think HR still holds his conservative religious views, the rest grew up.

TBF, nearly half that list has members who’ve been ‘problematic’ at one time or another. I guess we’re into a whole conversation around how easily we overlook or excuse artists we like (myself included) 😕

Finally, it was only when I finished the playlist I realised that it was bookended by 2 tracks from trans artists. After 2025’s parade of shit, that seems apt, and maybe even a wee bit poetic.

Here’s to 2026 being a better place #TransRightsAreHumanRights

* except for BRUIT, their new album The Age Of Ephemerality isn’t on Spotify but you should check it out on Bandcamp.

The track on the playlist is their sole one on Spotify. It’s called “Parasite (The Boycott Manifesto)”

…maybe 2026 is the year I manage to round the family up to jump to Tidal.

TBF, by the time you read this, George Lucas has probably added him in.

Like the entire digital world doesn't have to be about sucking every piece of attention, every cent, every ounce of will from customers and users.

We still can offer good experiences, fun experiences, accessible experiences all in one.

That's not a wild concept! I believe in it.
