  1. Sir Andy Hints at Retirement in the Summer

    Sir Andy Hints at Retirement in the Summer

    One of Sir Andy Murray’s favourite sporting places is definitely not one of mine.  It’s Florida and I have to admit I never enjoyed going there. Admittedly I’ve only ever been to the Everglades State to work. I filmed shows about the now old rockers, Creed and Limp Bizkit,if you want to know.  But Sir Braveheart himself loves it there and he almost made the fourth round at the Miami Open.  The...

    Don't Duck Our Great Offer

    Scotland is a wondrous and strange place. I’ve just watched a video of wild pigs and wild boar mixes roaming the Great Glen in the Highlands. They are pretty frightening.

    Easy Oat Bread

    Now I’ve extolled the breakfast of champions that is porridge, now I’d like to introduce you to the wonder of Oat Bread. It’s very good for you, unlike ordinary white bread which is very bad, and even better for you than wholemeal bread and sourdough bread. This is a simple bake, almost foolproof, that anyone can do.

    Getting Your Oats Under Threat

    News just out that will alarm Scottish mothers everywhere; Porridge Oats may be classified as junk food. By jings that seems to be at the best a bit mad, at the worst totally cracked. Now we all know that eating the wrong food in the wrong amounts is one of the biggest problems facing the nation, but we are also in a cost of living crisis and porridge is just cracking value for money.  

    Because my...
