The view from Gordon Street, showing the remaining facade of the Union Corner building. With nothing to support it and due to the heat from the fire, it's likely to be structurally unsound.

Interesting on the topic of "physical barrels" of oil, LNG, being trapped in the Gulf, and the implications for fertiliser, aircon (and data centres development), and more. This is about Russia but surely applicable to Europe, Ukraine ++, too.

Was hoping to learn something of the Scottish masonic rites practised here, but I appreciate the excellence of your architecural travelogue.

Happy for the US admin to base their actions vs Iran on Sir William Wallace's (fictional) rallying cry on behalf of Scotland's independence from England, because, remember: William Wallace ended up hanged, drawn and quartered for his efforts.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

β€œThe sinking seems to be part of Hegseth’s new policy of ignoring β€˜stupid rules of engagement’ and β€˜punching them while they’re down.’ It raises questions of what the Trump administration would say if a country like Iran attacked an American ship it knew was unarmed. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

When will athletes learn that visiting the Trump White House almost guarantees that he’ll threaten a war or something while you’re just kinda standing there in the background

As it's World Book Day here's the wee book I'm reading just now, 15 Glasgow Poems (Gaelic with English translations). I often pop into the Gaelic bookshop at Mansfield Park and pick up some gems. I loved the book cover, 15 poems, just like the 15 stops on the Subway. Gerrit?

I open jars, champagne, etc. inside the mitt of an oven glove, and if any spillage occurs I throw the glove, not myself, into the wash.

The Germans surely have a word for this terrible feeling in the gut that combines shame, embarrassment and sorrow?

You have completely jumbled up two incidents, one on Ben Nevis and one on An Teallach. You do a disservice to the families of the deceased climbers.
