I've been chastised by a few people for not keeping this blog updated but sometimes that little thing called 'work' gets in the way. However, I will try to do better . . .
The recent BBC2 programme on the Lockerbie Disaster caught the eye of one veteran ex Beeb journalist who tells me: "As someone who reported on the Lockerbie crash I watched the nearly-20-years-on BBC2 tv programme. Immediately after the final credits, BBC2 broadcast a trail(for a restaurant/cookery programme) which began with the words ...... "It doesn't take much for your dreams to fall apart".
And on a similar note, I couldn't help laugh at today's Scottish Sun, although I'm sure I wasn't meant to. The Super Goals sports supplement, containing every horrible cough and splutter on Scotland's pisspoor performance against Macedonia on Saturday, came in a neat 4 page wraparound titled: "A Major Scottish Sun Series on Suicide". The opening par by Yvonne Bolouri said: "If you were suicidal would you know where to seek help?"
It goes on - "The Scotish Sun Suicide Awarness pullout, heralding a week-long series, contains everything you need to know about getting help".
Sports scribe Bill Leckie should do the honourable thing and make sure Scotland manager George Burley has a copy tucked in his suitcase as he heads with his beleaguered squad to Iceland - and watch Sun sales soar if we don't get a result on Wednesday in Reykjavik.
