Auld celt,socialist,and father to Alexa and buddy the dug married to long suffering louise.Historian of Glasgow Central Station .my opinions not my employers.
It was a great honour to share the stage last night with Davie Hay and Michael Stewart at the St Margaret’s Hospice sports dinner .a truly wonderful cause to raise money.the hospice is run by such compassionate and inspirational people
20 years ago yesterday I had my last drink of alcohol,I finally told the truth to myself that I had a problem.the lies ,hiding bottles in the house all had to stop.i cannot undo the past and my failings but with humility I strive to become a better person.there is always hope 🙏
18 years ago today I made the best descision of my life,I stopped drinking.prior to this I had drank every single night for well over a decade.ive never drank again and never will.we cannot change the mistakes of the past but we can have a better future.
17 years ago I had my last drink of alcohol,it was ruining my life and everyone around me.we all can have a fresh start no matter how difficult the road may be.the regrets and mistakes will always be with me but I like to think it has given me humility.every day is a good day now
I lost my best friend from school yesterday,James Murphy.55 years old.when we were about 10 we decided to leave home to experience the world.we got as far as luss with a bag full of crisps and a fiver.we bought our mothers a present and phoned them to pick us up. Sleep well Jim
A poor woman dies in our city with a starving child by her side ,this isn’t Glasgow in the 1840’s it’s today.
This is the true face of a heartless Britain governed by people who just don’t care.
Their deeds would shame all the devils in hell.
I stood on Gordon street this morning in sub zero temperatures and looked across the road at human beings lying in the street freezing in sleeping bags.i have no words to express the sorrow and sadness i feel.
Sacked by the LABOUR leader for joining a picket line.Starmer is an affront to the Labour Party,nothing but a red Tory.I would laugh if it wasn’t so sickening
Please be aware that this is my personal account my opinion of the racist janey godley is of no reflection on my employer and I have that information on my header.I found it quite disturbing that someone phoned my employer to complain about me.
I’ve stood with the miners
I’ve stood with the nurses
I’ve stood with gay pride 🏳️🌈
I’ve stood with the caterpillar men
I’ve stood with the anti-fascists
I’ve stood with the YES voters
A second class citizen in my own country,who stands with me ??
FITZWILLIAM HUNT CHASE

The Fitzwilliam Hunt showed an absolute disregard for not just wildlife, but the lives of their very own hounds & the safety of the public!

Watching this evenings news I find it difficult to articulate the absolute horror of this juncture in history.America & Britain are governed by two men who are criminally insane.these men are neither statesmen nor rational human beings they are liars & fools
After a couple of weeks off after my account being hacked I’m back.Although having being upset by faceless cowards I intend to pay no further notice to their inane ramblings.i am sure my following back will return in the next couple of days. Thanks everyone good shall overcome 🙏
The big chap tested negative today for the first time.still feel extremely fatigued but back to work next week.Louise is feeling much better too.thanks again everyone for your concern and best wishes 🙏
Big jack,World Cup winner with England,inspirational manager of Ireland.started his life down the pit,his left wing politics and support of the miners probably cost him the England job but he stayed true to himself.
A true working class hero,we salute you ✊
Mussolini's fascists murdered many thousands of civilians, bombed the Red Cross, dropped poison gas, starved infants in concentration camps and tried to annihilate cultures deemed inferior.
I take great pride in a support who angered his evil spawn
non devono passare ✊
I had the privilege of spending some time with one of the most talented people that Scotland has ever produced.i am truly humbled and saddened by his plight.he was really chuffed we made a fuss of him,his sister said he’s still a star.
Frankie Miller god bless x
To the person that came up to me on the picket line this morning and told me about the many buses he had to take to get to work this morning,then shook my hand and said he supports our struggle.thank you sir 🙏
My mother and me took a walk arm in arm on a beach facing the wild Atlantic in the most beautiful place they call home in Ireland.i knew at that precise moment it was a time I will remember for the rest of my days 🙏
A big thanks to everyone who sent messages wishing my wife Louise well with the Covid,she’s not doing to well right now but hopefully on the mend soon. Thanks again everyone x 🙏
Just to say a big thanks for the best wishes from everyone,the Covid has knocked me for six to be honest,never felt this exhausted in my life.hopefully feel better soon. Thanks everyone 👍👍
Just got the ultimate recognition,I was walking under the heilanmans umbrella and there was a squad on the wine sitting on the pavement ,one of them shouts “there’s the guy that does the tours “ I got a cheer 😀I love Glasgow
We live in enlightened times where people who are abused and marginalised because of their sexuality are rightly supported and the perpetrators rightly condemned and laws are in place to to support victims yet I must endure this hatred as a second class citizen.Scotland’s shame.
So this September 18th, 34 orange order parades will pollute the streets of Glasgow. This is not culture, this is not history, this is bigotry and hatred of their fellow citizens allowed on the streets of a civilised nation. This orgy of hate needs to be banned. HH
I find this photo absolutely chilling and equally heartbreaking,the innocents are always the first casualties of war ,this could easily be a photo from the carnage of the Second World War.children in Ukraine hiding in a bomb shelter. The world is weeping.
Five years ago on the tour I introduced this man to the young group and told them this man is the greatest singer Scotland has ever produced.they all applauded him and he gave me a wee kiss.Frankie Miller the legend x
Heading off to London tomorrow for the National Rail awards,I’ve been nominated for “outstanding contribution “because of the tours.Extremely honoured to be nominated.fingers crossed 🤞
The KKK marauding and intimidating catholics on Scotlands streets for the next couple of months.scotlands unspoken shame.well back of the bus no more,we’re driving the fucking bus and it’s heading toward a positive future without that sectarian blight on our all inclusive country
Never in my life have I been more convinced than now that Scotland must take her place amongst the nations of the world
INDEPENDENCE
Imagine the early days of a better nation my friends
Truly sad news,Bertie was one of the finest men I’ve ever had the privilege to meet in my life.
Those who live in our memories forever never die
Rest in peace 🙏
Just heard central lost a member of staff who I’ve known for many years,to Covid.a young man that loved the railway and his beloved Celtic.sleep well Gordon RIP 🙏
Can I say a big thanks to everyone who commented and liked my post about stopping drinking,it will take me a while to get through them.if my story can help even one person in similar circumstances I was in that would be wonderful.take care everyone x
