Sunshine on Leith, the greatest football song on the planet. One of the happiest days of my life with my big brother Graeme and my son, Jimmy. Such an emotional occasion, it will live with us forever

I caught up with an old friend for a pint. This boy has been through it and now he’s doing his own thing. Good on you my man

Episode 1: Reflection via
@YouTube
Check out the final episode of Breaking Down Walls! 🎉
@Louis_Tomlinson
and
@gordonsmart
have a great chat about some of the inspiration behind the album
An important reminder that the name Martin Branning isn’t a laughing matter for a lot of people. Especially the victims of his/their catfishing, blackmail, coercion and sexual harassment.
Looking forward to making my debut hosting
@gmb
this Thursday and Friday with
@CharlotteHawkns
@itv
Told my dad about the new gig and he said “better get a spray tan, son.” Good.
See you bright and early at 6am, 29th and 30th December.
Good Morning Britain!
Some more behind the scenes stuff with
@Louis_Tomlinson
from Wemberlee last week. Been loving working with the boy wonder again. It has been ten years since I first booted his baws after he joined a band who went on to do pretty well... new album
#walls
is out next week...
I’ve got a wee bit of news to share... I’m leaving
@RadioX
after a brilliant few years working with great friends, bands I love and the amazing extended family who have joined me on the Evening Show and Smart on Sunday since 2011
So sad waking up to news about Taylor Hawkins. Had some amazing experiences with him over the years
@RadioX
and back in the day on Bizarre. Here’s a BTS video I filmed of his warm-up in Manchester in the summer of 2018 before
@foofighters
played the Etihad
#RIPTaylorHawkins
So here we go! New show
@bbc5live
starts this Sunday, 8-10pm.
I’ve been the supply teacher across the network for over a year, but so chuffed to now have my name above the door with a great team behind the scenes.
It’s an absolute scandal
@JoshTaylorBoxer
wasn’t on terrestrial television tonight. Incredible achievement. One of the greatest ever British fighters. The bigger the stage, the better he is. Roll on Edinburgh Castle or Easter Road for the next one...
I thought my intensive 1-2-1 coaching regime in lockdown was giving my boy a glimmer of hope of playing football at a decent standard. Just watched this and retired us both on the spot.
Paul Burrell. What has Scotland got? Oil? A monster in a lake? Yep, that’s all. We also have a natural, in-built c*nt-o-meter, and you have broken the dial.
This really has to be seen to be believed.
'I mean for goodness sakes...Scotland, by itself? How is it going to survive?'
The Jeremy Vine show on Channel 5, 25th June 2019.
Part 1/2:
As Fife royalty, my wife Kate Smart (formerly Leishman), would like to announce her decision to take a step back from her role as the Provost’s daughter. The constant intrusion of the Dunfermline and Fife Free Press has become too much to handle. We have relocated to Perthshire.
Six years late to the party... just binge watched The Fall without interruption or distraction. Incredible. So many brilliant performances. Norn Iron has crime and drama sewn up with this and Line of Duty. AC12 would have been sniffing around ACC Burns.
So here we go - a wee bit of news. Joining the brilliant team
@bbc5live
to host the Late Show from January 1st. Thanks so much to everyone who stuck by me during the dark days, the listeners and the gang in Salford for offering so much support and encouragement. Onwards!
This is jaw-dropping. The virus has hit his club more than most? It’s not another league table. It has hurt everyone equally. It definitely hits you more than most when you piss off to Dubai for a knees-up and come back with a dose of the Billy Rae in the squad 🤯
🗣 'It's affected our club, probably our club more than any'

It’s great growing up at the same time as
@ArcticMonkeys
. You can hear them mature- exploring as they improve as musicians. It’s something special experiencing a full album of poetic jigsaw pieces.
#tranquilitybasehotelandcasino
is a masterpiece. Gripped, start to finish 5⭐️
They counted them out, now
@MarcusRashford
is counting them all back in again. This is history in the making. Inspiring stuff. Keep going Marcus! (If you’re not following his timeline, get on it. Goosebumps!)
So how about an open top bus for the return of the Undisputed World Champion
@JoshTaylorBoxer
??? Surely worth making it happen
@edinburghpaper
? 🥊 🏴 🏆
What about, “I’m really sorry that my actions have diverted attention away from what is vitally important - keeping people alive and stopping the spread of a lethal virus. Protecting the NHS and our most vulnerable.” Just say SORRY! And mean it.
A first in London this afternoon. Bought a bottle of water in Tesco Express on Clifton Road. The lady on the till sneezed on us both, then hocked the rest up and spat it in the bin next to her. When I told her she was fucking disgusting she told me I was rude for swearing 👌🏻🤢
Bit of news to share today. Sadly, I’ve been overlooked for the role of Chairman and Vice Chair of Handforth Parish Council. I have however, signed up to host a new show on a brand new channel with a team of talented people. Here we go! First guest, Jackie Weaver.
I’ve watched this 14k times this morning. Nobody, absolutely nobody on earth, can swear quite like a Scotsman. Textbook use of the strongest of them all by Big Tam 👏
This time last year we lost our pet dog, Fletcher. We’ve really missed him this year, could have done with his company in 2020. Big love to anyone who has been through the loss of a pet. It’s an acute pain when it happens, but the memories are so special x
Desperately underwhelmed by Hibs right now. Great hospitality. Lovely big screens. Fancy advertising hoardings. Murder on the pitch. Dire recruitment. Huge questions about the manager. Do not like the pre or post match interviews. Run of form awful. Selection bizarre. Character?
Big
@rioferdy5
there, saying he’s genuinely confident about winning the tournament. The same confidence about putting four of five past Scotland at Wemberlee… right, disappearing for a bit 👋 few more stops before ⚽️ gets home, eh?
Absolutely thrilled to make my debut for
@HibernianFC
today. Sadly not on the pitch, but hosting Hibs TV comes a close second. Especially with the main man Yogi Hughes. Helps when Hibs win 3-0, might have to make it a regular gig…

The final pay-off for 2020, riddled with Covid after a few trips to London in December trying to get working again. Tested positive after showing symptoms a few days after I got back last weekend. I’ve been in isolation since...
12 mins left of my 30s. Decade started with newborn son and sleepless nights. It finishes in isolation, with nodule/voice woe and more sleepless nights... at least the home schooling is going well (see exhibit A). Choppy water right now but we will get through it, eh? Night all x
This has turned my stomach today. Truly pathetic high school behaviour. Perhaps the FM weighed up the cost in LIVES of dangerously ambiguous messaging and thought it wise to stick with clear, decisive, unequivocal instructions? “Ooh, saving lives to further Indy cause are we?” 🤯
ToTP 1996. I think that might have been the best year of my life. What a year to be 16. Oasis, Manics, Kula Shaker, Faithless, Space, Blackstreet, Gina G, Mark Morrison, Babybird… that was some T in The Park that year 😮
HNY everyone. Went for a wander to get my lungs working again. This is the view over Loch Leven, Fife and across to the Pentland Hills behind Edinburgh. East Lothian and Leith lies to the left of Benarty. This place is my medicine. Big love from the Smarts up the hill🏴
#tillyrie
Just finished my secret set with
@LewisCapaldi
at Glastonbury. We’re off to The Twig in Bathgate if anyone fancies it? The Venoms are on me. By the way, it’s aw just a bit eh fun. Noel’s mother-in-law is from Bathgate and I “might” be Lewis’ dad - ‘99 in Edinburgh was interesting
What a sensational night in Port Glasgow with AC12 for
@ArdgowanHospice
last night. Massive love
@martin_compston
for sorting the fundraiser- so special to see you,
@Vicky_McClure
@jed_mercurio
and Adrian Dunbar sucking diesel onstage (which isn’t cheap at £1.80 a litre, fella!)
If anything sums up how little this govt knows about normal punters and pub culture in this country, it’s this. Not a single person in the process of this pish being signed off said, “That’s 20 for fuck’s sake...” Let’s all drink till 20pm 👏 🤡 🍻
Businesses selling food or drink, including bars, pubs and restaurants, must be closed at 10pm.
All food and drink must be served at a table. After 10pm it's takeaway deliveries only.

On our way to Manchester United v West Ham. Wee Jim and Big Jim. Provost just said “Googlemesahn” Out later tonight, when he will be back to “Googlemehen”…
Watching 🏴 ladz getting on a flight to Scotland for a stag. Pished at 11am wearing See-You-Jimmy outfits - cos that’ll go down well. “Geez, how long is this flight? Two hours to Jockland?” You just know the one who is going home on Sunday with fewer teeth than he left with.
Anthony Joshua’s next opponent should be Big Duncan Ferguson. Imagine? Pishing rain in The Raploch after kicking out time. That’s worth £26.99 PPV, the licence fee, Netflix, Amazon Prime, BT Sport, Spotify, ITunes and all the bongo channels combined 🥊
Love the days where Hibs win, Scotland win (away) and I’ve got a new job. Happens about once every 18 years. Will savour today.... Scotland truly inspirational today - enjoy tonight

@BBCOne
Finally drawing a line under a really difficult chapter in my life; losing my voice, my job and my mojo.
My dad is a 66-year-old GP. We worry about him at the moment, it’s not the best time of his life to be facing this challenge.
Try telling him! Business as usual for frontline staff, not just in the NHS. True heroes.
So let’s start listening, eh?

Driving back to Glasgow from Wembley overnight with a massive smile. So proud of
@ScotlandNT
a ferocious, confident, passionate performance. This team has an identity. Loved all of them tonight but
@billygilmourrr
was immense. Well worth the day trip. Tuesday will be massive! 🏴
With an ep 2 epaulettes spoiler out the way, I can reveal what happens when your in the middle of raiding bent coppers but
@ScotlandNT
are in a penalty shoot out to end 20 year of heartache. Steve to Scots in point zero seconds ..🕺🏻🏴

Mr Guy Hawksford. All 5ft 7in of him, my physics teacher. Passed away last month. In 2004 he saved lives by spotting the early signs of the tsunami in Thailand. He saved colleagues’ lives when he was an engineer in Africa sensing trouble with Idi Amin. Never say “if only” RIP Guy
Just met a lovely young lady at LAX. You might be familiar with some of her work… perhaps as coach of The Wildcats, or for her military career as a plucky private - and for my kids - Mrs Claus, it’s only GOLDIE HAWN!!! She’s even better craic than you could imagine 🥃
It’s incredible Andy Murray ever made a return to competitive tennis after sacrificing his body over the years. It’s mind bending to consider what professional athletes suffer in pursuit of greatness. What an incredible legacy, even if he doesn’t make Wimbledon. Love the man 🎾🏴
Please enjoy some nonsense and pub patter with my man
@siferry8
. There’s a chance he might be my son. I was busy in Dundee around the time he was born 💪🏼
Pleased our mentality is different. First time away at Tynecastle with 3000 fans, after three lockdowns and 18 months of misery. Imagine they had walked off without a clap for the fans? 🤔
