Blake's Seven ran into the 80s as did the Windies. But on the whole the 80s were shit. Thatcher was Prime Minister on the first day of the 1980s and still Prime Minister on the last day of the 1980s.

Lovely warm hotel bar with a pick of the cream of European football in the Champions League?

Or cold, windy, wet West of Scotland League Cup tie between Troon & Drumchapel?

No contest

Troon won 4-2 pens (2-2 90 mins)

I havenโ€™t seen a Tudor take a battering like this in Europe since the fall of Calais in 1558.

Just got an upgrade offer on my booking at the Grand Central in Glasgow next week

Everyone was evacuated on Sunday on account of the fire and it hasn't reopened yet.

Think I'll give it a miss

This will delight the tens of fans who regularly attend.

Surprising given his choice of Rod Stewart. Both he and Bowie started to make it big around the same time, Bowie earlier if anything.

Maybe it was his less than macho image that put players off naming him

While playing him full blast at home.

Rod Stewart & Perry Como? Can't quite picture them as a duet.

That was 19.15. Another at 3.45 and again at 5.45. That's just the ones I've seen so possibly more. I'm no expert but they look like AWACS to me.

I've seen some dodgy bookies in my time. This is definitely one to avoid.

Races might be at Ayr but they have to import their food from a classier place.

A five hours journey was already six thanks to rail replacement. Now nearer seven.

Two of the most awful words in the English language are "rail replacement" Two others are "signalling failure."

Put together they form the deepest circle of Hell.
