Hi there.
One of my good, good mates introduced me to this fab world of blogging. Having read a few different ones, I thought "Hey, like, I could do much, much better than that!". And here I am.
A little about me:
I am a big, big jags fan. I remember the days of "the shed": Big Chico, Floody, Doddsy, Eddie Annand. What a team.
I was so delighted when the guys won promotion to the SPL a few years ago. Me and a few of the lads went along to Love Street when they scored two goals to win League One. Fantastic stuff.
Thank goodness for the internet though, teletext was grating on my brain man.
Apart from following the Maryhill Magyars, I enjoy meeting up with fellow thespians. The last play I was in featured an absolutely WILD cast. They were crazy! Especially at the wrap night, I hadn't drank that much Miduri since my big 3-0!
I still see the gang now and then, meeting up in Offshore for some of the best caffeine beverages in the city. Brilliant stuff.
Because I've been working on a few personal projects for the acting, I have had a bit of spare time. I decided to check out the new Daniel Boyle film, Slumdog Millionaire. One word. Subtitles. They were popping up everywhere. I didn't have a clue where they would appear next. That aside - the direction and acting was SUPERB.
My day was ruined very slightly by some absolute pleb who asked me to sit down and stop applauding at the end. That's Cineworld for you though, the bloody idiot probably didn't even understand the plot. It's considered rude if you don't applaud at the end of a film at the GFT, my usual haunt.
After the cinema, I decided to pop into the CCA bar on Scott Street. What a great wee pub! The way that the seating is designed, however, means that folk can easily slide in beside you. One guy spotted me from my part in Taggart. I played a gangster, which was a really challenging role. I got a hard time from the director at the time. He said that my voice was more "Cushions, caviar and camp, rather than lock, stock and smoking barrels". What a prick.
Anyway, I'll sign off for now guys.
Cheeribye.
