From Wild Kicks to Wetsuit Tricks
My Early Foray into Sports
As a kid, I tried a raft of sports. Shotputt, discus, javelin… all were deemed a tad dangerous for anyone in my immediate vicinity. Eventually, I scored a place on the primary school’s girl’s football team, where I found my calling as a goalie. I always thought I’d be best out on the field, but again, it was decided that it was safer if I was tucked away in goals. Some…

Gregory's Girl (1980)
Gregory’s Girl (1980)
The opening scene of Bill Forsyth’s cult-classic teen comedy Gregory’s Girl sets audience expectations for something much crasser and more irritating than what’s ultimately delivered. A group of horny high school nerds spy on a nurse via telescope as she changes out of her uniform in a hospital window. They hoot & guffaw at the shared sight of naked breasts, as if it were the opening to a…

The Tudor Court by Philippa Gregory
The Tudor Court by Philippa Gregory
I already wrote about the Cousins’ War series, so it’s time I share my thoughts on the sequel series, following the events in the Tudor court. The series consists of eight books and some of them were interesting, others not so much.
PS. I’m still to read the newest one The Last Tudor and I will write a post about it once I read it.

The Clown and The Wolfman – Image #128
During the late 70s and early 80s, there were a number of light romantic comedies which were set in Scotland. Many people will be familiar with Local Hero or Gregory’s Girl, but how many of you have heard of, never mind seen, this one? I went to see this at the cinema when it came out. It tells the story of two young lads in Edinburgh who decide to supplement their incomes by robbing tourist…

Test Of Time
In this poem I look back at my teenage years and the secrets I couldn’t reveal at the time. Well the world and especially Scotland was a very different place in the 70’s to the one we know today. I’ve given it the title Test Of Time I hope you enjoy the read.
Test Of Time
Teenage dreams of superstars
posters on the wall
dreaming that I’d somehow be
the fairest of them of all
Lipsticks, legs, and mini…
