King Ralph


I have deliberately avoided the TV and newspapers for the past 24 hours - in the hope of escaping the dreadful wall-to-wall news coverage about the Royal baby - Prince Wotsisname.

But as the weekend approaches, I realise that I am fighting a losing battle - just like that old episode of The Likely Lads in which the character played by James Bolam goes out of his way to avoid hearing an important football score - though ultimately to no avail.

So let me throw my tuppence worth before reality comes crashing in - I think the new Royal sprog should be called Ralph - or Prince Ralph to give him his full title

Because one day he will become King Ralph and that will inevitably lead to a remake of the 1991 film 'King Ralph' - starring the American actor John Goodman.

Not a great film as I recall, so it could do with a completely new cast - and better production values. 

John Goodman has been in some good movies by the way - but none better than the deranged character he played in the famous Coen brothers film 'The Big Lebowski' - starring Jeff Bridges as the Dude.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
