That was a brave and powerful piece of writing, Bob. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

I bought this album a while ago after a few recommendations from friends (including those on this thread). Much as I admired its technical proficiency, I didn’t find myself all that enchanted by it; prog has […]

I’ll get my coat.

According to the intergoogle, both Renton and Dumbarton were formed in 1872, with Renton, sadly, folding in 1922.

Although I was not exactly hopeful that Dunfermline Athletic or Hamilton Academical would be capable of stopping that big rich kid from getting what he wanted, their fifth round tie at East End Park appealed to me […]

‘Eldorado’ by ELO.

Both sharper and warmer than the original, I think.

‘Golf versus monster biscuits’ was another one.

Along with many others, I’ve watched a great deal of ‘walking football’ over the last few years.

I’ve never heard of them, but that was a great clip. Thanks for posting it, Colin.
Raymond commented on the post, The Scottish Cup Round 4: Living in the Past 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Queen’s Park dominated the early years of organised football in Scotland and it was only the advent of professionalism that signalled their demise. They have retained amateur status since forming in 1867 and are […]
