So today marks another momentous day in Scottish politics.
For the first time, the Scottish Nationalists have beaten Scottish Labour.
I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about this. I don't like Labour, I've never really liked Labour but at the same time I'm not sure our country is ready to become an independent state.
I can't really complain about the situation. I gave...

I haven't posted in ages...again!
A couple of things happened to me over the last week that brought a lot of memories come back to the fore that I'd rather hadn't. All to do with an old flame. A girl I can't ever seem to get out of my fucking head.
On a brighter note, work is gradually getting better. It's not perfect but it's...

Work gets progressively worse.
Yet again I've adopted another disaster in the making and the board have highlighted the importance of it being resolved. It seems my job is now pretty much established as the fixer.
I just want to part of a project from start to finish - at least then I'll have ownership of any disaster that might occur.
It also looks like...

Good weekend past.
After another horrid week at work where I fear that I'm shouting and swearing myself out of a job I went out Saturday night with my oldest friend (I've know him since I was 5).
It was cool. Had a few cheap beers in Glasgow's Best Kept Secret (1.68/pint of Carling) followed by a trip to The Cathouse. I hadn't been since...

So it was my birthday this week and I think it must rank up there as the worst birthday ever.
Firstly, I had to go into work. Work sucks at the moment so that wasn't fun. The only good thing was that I had a flexi-half-day available so I took the afternoon off.
Came home to find one card delivered which brought the grand total...

The Life of a Scotland Fan:
It's amazing how quickly you can go from absolute euphoria to rock bottom when you're a Scotland football fan. After the best Scotland result in a long, long time we came crashing down to Earth with a lacklustre performance against Ukraine. In all honesty though (and I'm not just being bitter), I thought the referee was atrocious. He gave...

I'm absolutely ecstatic at the moment.
Scotland beat France yesterday in the Euro 2008 qualifiers.
That's lowly Scotland (not been to a major tournament since 1998) beating France (World Cup Runners-Up).
The pub I watched the game in went absolutely wild the moment Caldwell hit that ball into the net. And then when the final whistle blew - I doubt there was a man/woman/child in...

It's been a few weeks but nothing's really happened since my last post.
Having come back from my two week break, I came back to work to find that the nightmare I thought would be resolved in those two weeks had in fact grown legs. Needless to say, work has been pretty hectic.
I went another country walk this weekend with some friends. I really...

A modestly eventful weekend this week.
On Saturday, me and the guys scaled the heights of Ben Ledi in the Trossachs. We had been informed that it was a fairly easy hike. I guess we're all incredibly unfit as I think most of us found it pretty tough.
I'm feeling the pain now as well - my right calf muscle is in agony and has...

Saw 'A Scanner Darkly' last night but for some reason forgot to mention it when I posted yesterday.
I enjoyed the movie immensely but it must have been to 'weird' for some - a couple of girls at the end of my aisle left after the hour mark. I don't know what they expected to see and to be honest I don't care - it...

It's now been a whole month since I last posted.
I guess I don't have too much to say.
Sad thing is my life hasn't really changed much - I hit 30, work has been a shit place to be for about 6 months, I lost weight, gained weight and I'm now trying to get back to losing again.
My love-life/sex-life is still pretty much...

So I've just got back from spending roughly a week in Los Angeles.
I'm back home now anyway. Back to the land of neds.
I've got The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. coming up over the next week or so. Should be some good times.
Bye.
