Save the Red Squirrel

The 'Rhinestone Cowboy' was not 'any trouble'!

We went to Glen Campbell’s (where the f**k am I) Alzheimer’s tour last night - what a great show!!  We knew that Glen would not be firing on all cylinders given his medical condition but nonetheless he gave us his best and entranced a most appreciative audience.

We saw him in Glasgow and, maybe because of that we did not hear a single ‘yee ha’ or see a cowboy hat throughout, which significantly added to the enjoyment of the evening. Clearly Glen was being prompted by his daughter and read the lyrics of his later songs from an autocue. He was not as fluid on the guitar as he once was (as Eric Morecambe said “...all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order”) but he played his standards with absolute surety.

You’ve got to admire the audacity of someone who rhymes “a load of compromisin’” with “the road to my horizon” and I can’t think of another singer who has used “misanthropes” in a lyric – pure genius; we need more misanthropes and guys like him!

  

Spot the Trannie

It struck me last night as I watched Hilary Devey's remarkable appearance in This Week that you never see the lovely Hilary Devey

 

 and the gorgeous Lily Savage together.

 

Is Paul O'Grady moonlighting?

The Diurach Diva?

I have a vision of my daughter's arrival for her wedding on Corran Sands, Jura - it's something like this!

Street Irony

I seems that the preferred tipple of the homeless is ‘Tennents’ while the beverage of preference for street beggars is ‘Buckfast’ - spot the irony?

Beware of Greeks Offering Haircuts

A Greek and a German have lunch together and agree to split the bill 50/50. The bill for €100 arrives and the Greek puts €25 on the plate. The German looks at his companion quizzically and says “We agreed to split the bill 50/50!”

“Yes” replies the Greek “I’ve paid 50% of my share haven’t I?”
