I'm hoping my reader follows me on Bookface. If they do, they will know I often post a wee selfie of my occasional tipple there with the heading as above.

I'm told folk are amazed by my ~~alcoholism~~ varied choice of refreshment on offer for consideration.

To be fair, I am particularly lucky to live in a country now blessed with numerous craft ale producers. Perhaps the biggest newbie of them all being the very local BrewDog. Since well after I started this blog this company has mushroomed to the point that Toy Town™ has no less than 3 outlets. I've managed to drop in to do a bit of quality control at their Edinburgh Airport outlet and their city outlets in Berlin and Barcelona. Never disappointed.

However, my favourite Scots craft brewery are William Brothers. From the early days in Tyndrum and heather ale, they now produce a number of stunners. My personal favourite being the intriguingly named 7 giraffes.

I'm also blessed to be in walking distance of the world's only adult sweetie shop based in a filling station. If you haven't...

...but I'm back.

My reader may have noted my absence from this site lately. Twitter seems to have captured folk's imagination, but there are times when its enforced brevity and the need to unroll lengthy threads just fails to reach the mark. Sometimes you have things you need to get off your chest and rambling on suits a blog. You will not be disappointed in that respect!

My post's header is a signpost to something I did earlier this torrid year. I used to exhort my reader to join the Scottish National Party. I'd still ask you to vote for them as the only viable carriage on the independence train. But endorsing each and every of their actions is beyond me now. I feel the need to explain.

Firstly, and somewhat cackhandedly, the final straw for me was the Calderwood scandal. I have very deep personal reasons to have found her actions baffling and inexcusable. I also found our First Minister's initial support for her mindboggling and worrying in respect of decision making. Let me say at this juncture that other than the understandable, but regrettable decision...

Sometimes the British media need called out for their collective lies. Scotland needs to tell these shysters that we are no longer on our knees and that their allegations are well known to be false and manufactured.

Not one word of truth uttered. Just bile.

Keeping this simple. Polis piece times and locations have reared their heads again over on Twitter.

I have written about this before, but I welcome this corroboration.

Over on the Twitters a debate has opened about the upcoming #AUOB march in Edinburgh and the 'use' of Holyrood Park.

I'd quite like to add my two penny worth.

Firstly, it's clear by my political party membership that I endorse the general theme of promoting self-determination and independence for Scotland.

Secondly, marches, demonstrations, and meetings are the life blood of political movements and a part of open democracy, even if the participants are in your view a collection of.... (add your own epithets).

But, some observations.

Whilst the anticipated attendance may be considerable, it is unlikely that the marchers will constitute in themselves any challenge to the authorities other than traffic management and the monitoring of those undemocratic few who vehemently oppose these marches. If previous city marches are anything to go by, it will be the content of the banners at the front of the parade that will upset some and I get it. Calling Tories 'scum' is almost as bad as Ian Lavery calling for all 'Nationalists' to be killed off. It does nothing to further your...

During a debate about the Polis hierarchy on Twitter, the High Priestess of the controversial SIU came out with a blinder, which I took a screen-shot of.

Not long afterwards, the originator of this debate tweeted this equally befuddling 'update'.

But then his job description is just print/tweet anything #snpbad.

Better Together my posterior. That 'precious Union' seems to be an inconvenient state of affairs to this pair. They wish only subjugation.

BTW - Trident renewal is an anachronistic and abhorrent aberration.

I can think of 100,000 reasons not to watch the Beeb's distorted Britnat news.

The problem is there's no real alternative in Scotland's media churniverse.

Or is there?

You could give this start up a try - TSTV.

I should have written this blog in April on my return from a glorious week in Barcelona.

Much has happened since, not least in Catalonia's Capital.

However, my observation then is even more pertinent in the wake* of the issue of the #paradisepapers.

So just what did I observe?

On a pleasantly warm day, Mrs McNoddy and I promenaded down by the marina in Barcelona. The 'yachts' were resplendent in the sunshine each, and everyone, flying their port of registration flag denoting a puzzling 'home port' in the British West Indies. Well, it's not really puzzling if you follow the money.

Just yards (sorry metres) away numerous presumably migrant individuals were dodging the local Guardia Urbana and Mossos patrols as they laid out their pitiful wares onto their flattened swag bags on the sidewalk leading to the beach area.

The contrast was jarring and sobering.

(* apologies for the 'unintentional' nautical pun)
