So glad she resigned before Have I Got News for You recorded tomorrow's episode - last week they were woefully behind the Kami-Kwasi news. Also, those Christians with placards behind a BBC reporter on the one o'clock news... Surely 'Lettuce Pray' would've been more appropriate!?

For the past three nights there has been LOUD construction work in Meadowbank Retail Park, EH7, carried out by READY CONSTRUCTION who were sub-contracted by LUDDONS with permission from The City of Edinburgh Council. Despite numerous complaints to Police Scotland the noise continues. Acceptable?

I don't tweet much these days, but I'm co-hosting a presentation of shorts by treebenchfilms in the Function Room of the Outhouse pub in Edinburgh. I've been peripherally involved with this company as a writer etc, and can't wait to present this evening: eventbrite.co.uk/e/short-film-n…

I'm not good at maths but something doesn't add up here. I wasn't allowed into 6th Year because I didn't get maths O-Level (nor many others, to be fair.) If you leave school at 16, who is going to teach you this fabulous maths for two more years? Do the maths, Sunak! #dyscalculia

May God bless the C. of E. - or, if this is the God they believe in I certainly don't, so try this: fuck the Church of England. It took 5 years to decide they were 10 years behind the law and fuck-knows how far behind society. Still pinning their monochrome colours to the fence.

Since #KateBush is trending, is this a good time to say what Running Up That Hill is really about? One of the great things about Kate is that she's never admitted it in public, allowing people to interpret the lyrics in whatever way they prefer. But really, we all know, right?

It's not my favourite vocal ensemble by quite a long shot, but as the only full-time professional choir in the UK it's vital that the BBC doesn't scrap (and sack) its Singers. What a total disgrace. Stop the planned closure of the BBC Singers chng.it/MRPS6nPY via Change.org UK

When it comes to benches and right-wing stenches, even mid-Beds wants them out. This was for Boris the lying shit, pre-empting Dorries who threatened to quit - do these Tories have any clout? At last she's jumped ship yet it seems a bit fishy: maybe she's made a pact with Rishi.

Went to an encouraging Public Meeting on the future of our city's most important cinema, Filmhouse There's a good chance they'll be able to re-open in the same building. But they need MONEY. We were all encouraged to be AMBASSADORS for the New Filmhouse. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/filmhouse-op…

Curious to think... had Scotland won independence, would Westminster have stepped in to push the Save The Filmhouse campaign across the finishing line and help save Edinburgh's staunchly independent cinema? scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-… That said, major credit goes to the former staff.

Delighted to have another of my 26-inspired projects on display in a 'gallery' in Edinburgh. Shopping Trolleys in a Shopping Centre - who'd've thought it it!? Evidently, me. TITLE: 26 Trolleys in Lockdown

Electioneering isn’t over until a satirically sweary pseudo-journalist calls each Tory a "vicious, festering, regressive, lying, greedy, nasty, eye-watering wealthy, but morally bankrupt c*nt." Vote tactically, or vote for more "lies, and lies, and lies" youtube.com/watch?v=cKAeO-…

Anyone who knows me well enough will share my delight at having my work exhibited in a PHONE BOX! As part of ArtWalk Porty a selection of my '26 Trolleys in Lockdown' will be installed in Porty Light Box this week. Well, I do like to be beside the seaside! instagram.com/p/C_ONdUxMfug/…

Must say I'm chuffed to have my photos in a PHONE BOX! After many years of photographing phone boxes, my first exhibition in one is pictures/sestudes of shopping trolleys, as part of ArtWalk Porty artwalkporty.co.uk/art-walk-porty… See them by day or by night...

2nd weekend of ArtWalk Porty, and a delight to see my work turn from darkness to light (inside the box) while Autumn turns light to darkness (thinking outside the box.) There's more background in this window: climb to the treetop, peek through the turret! linktr.ee/j.a.suth

I have a tree of links that lead to my SoundCloud, X, and Instagram, plus a bunch of other clicks to some of my writing and musings on writing and muses, and to my project with Art Walk Porty, where my work is still to be seen on Portobello High Street! linktr.ee/j.a.suth

It's the final day of my 26-inspired exhibition of trolleys in a phone box, part of ArtWalk Porty, located on the No 26 bus route! We could only display 21 of the 62-word sestudes, but they're all on my Instagram, and the story is on my blog... linktr.ee/j.a.suth

If I were to say we'd be in the same situation today as we were eight years ago, you'd say I was off my trolley. Here's a blog titled so, along with a piece written eight years ago about a President who never should have been and yet, somehow, is again... throughtheturretwindow.blogspot.com/2024/09/off-hi…
