    Contrived link, but since ex-Don Billy Pirie played for the Lichties, here’s a good article about the planet’s second-best Maroons, for whom I have an affinity after providing educational support to their youth players in the early part of the century.

    Ray McKinnon has heart attack.

    No smart-ass, studiedly-cynical unkind words, please. We’re better than that.

    Get well soon, min.

    Not good to read this. As someone of the same age who has had heart issues the past couple of years he has nothing but my good wishes.

    Good for you, min. I did the same in November 2019, but at a slightly more advanced age.

    Of course “wait until Spring, and winter’s sleet and darkness is past” didn’t quite go to plan. Then again, sitting on my erse reading books, and suburban flaneuring were probably as much as I was ever going to do/be able to afford, and I have embraced that lifestyle. With coffee. ****ing gallons of it, M&S strength 4.

    Keep your bedroom secrets to yourself min! 🥲 With a free bus after 60, you could spend it drinking and eating cheaply in Spoons maybe!?

    I’m no doctor but do you think that may be connected in some way to your insomnia?
