Might start watching Riot Women tonight, the show about 5 menopausal women forming a band. I'll be disappointed if they don't do a cover of Sultans of Mood Swing

Can somebody at the SFA please make sure Steve Clarke studies a video of this Northern Ireland performance. 2-0 going on 4 or 5. Brilliant, positive, high energy. Surely McGinn, McTominay, Doak, Gilmour, Robertson, Hickey would love to be set up to play like this

Delighted to have another couple of sketches on this week's Noising Up. Last of the series, and I managed a full house of something on each episode. Well done to all the cast, crew and writers who contributed to s6. Fingers crossed for a s7
