Whilst researching 'Cassius X' one thing stood out - how he marketed himself via great photography. In 1963, Cassius encouraged his friend Howard Bingham to recruit a violinist from the Miami Symphony Orchestra to train with him. Amazing foresight for a young man.

That’s the shambles you want to shackle Scotland to, Lisa. Feeling good about elected representatives being excluded? Don’t no where you are on the map. That’s what you demand Scotland puts up with. Unfair isn’t it.
Just learnt Greater Manchester will be placed into tier 2 restrictions via twitter. Apparently there was a government briefing for GM MPs but I can’t provide details because I wasn’t invited. I suspect this is because they don’t know where Wigan is. What an absolute shambles

I was a doubter & still remain sceptical but 2-0 is a decent result. Good performance, credit where it’s due. Never want Scotland to lose but this is the least enthusiastic I’ve ever been going into a game - so spirits lifted. Leadership of national game remains woeful.
