I have so much sympathy for the shops, restaurants and traders located on Haymarket Terrace. What should be a bustling thoroughfare close to Haymarket Station has been hammered by so many road closures over the past few years it would be laughable, if you weren’t trying to run a business, that is. First there was the trams and then oh yes, the trams again. Then the cycle paths. At least the gas mains project is happening at the same time. But still, there is no parking for patrons of cafes, hair…

I’ve heard Napoleon is pretty good and I really enjoyed those twin summer hits Oppenheimer and Barbie. But I already know that there is only one film of the year for me and it’s available today on Netflix. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is the long-awaited sequel to the instant classic starring Ginger, Rocky and a cast of loveable chooks on an escape mission from the nasty farmer Mrs Tweedy (voiced by the fabulously scary Miranda Richardson, who returns in the new movie) and her pie machine whi…

“Keeeeeep dancing!” exhort Tess and Claud at the end of every edition of Strictly off the telly and if you are lucky enough to have tickets for Glasgow’s OVO Hydro this weekend you can experience the live show in all its shimmering glory.

In at number five is an entry level book which is by no means a criticism. It you’re not sure running is for you Running Like a Girl by Alexandra Heminsley will inspire, encourage and educate you. From good intel about the importance of a well fitting sports bra to the reality of the unpleasantness of your early forays, it’s also beautifully written and a lot of fun. What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami is a slim volume dedicated to the novelist’s passion for long dista…

Sometimes a popular culture moment just gets you. The finale of a series like Fleabag or Happy Valley perhaps. An earworm of a song – Daft Punk’s Get Lucky springs to mind. For me, it’s Ryan Gosling’s stellar live performance of I’m Just Ken from the Barbie soundtrack at this year’s Oscars. Why do I love it so much? There’s the fun, the silliness, the pink Gucci suit covered in crystal drops. There’s how it was staged, with our hero beginning to serenade the object of his affection from behind a…

We got together and Shook A Tail Feather, we sang about George Ezra’s Green Green Grass and in conclusion, we promised to give our audience the Best of Our Love. Let me explain. That’s a brief summary of the finale of the set performed by Edinburgh Rock Choir at their afternoon and evening concerts to mark the end of Spring term last month. And it’s not just endless entertainment we provide at this friends and family event. The afternoon choir raised £931 for Empty Kitchens, Full Hearts, a volun…

My my. It’s Eurovision month with the grand final taking place on Saturday 11th May in Malmo, Sweden where Olly Alexander will fly the flag for the UK with his song Dizzy. But my mind turns back to events 50 years ago in 1974 when Eurovision came to Brighton and Abba took the crown and the hearts of an audience who have loved them since the first time they heard that thumping piano intro and then the pure harmonies of Agnetha and Anni-Frid. Despite their impact on music and popular culture over…

I consider myself reasonably impervious to advertising slogans as a canny consumer with years of shopping experience. However the direct approach of the Spring campaign of one of the biggest athleisure brands on the high street has caught my attention. Wear the damn shorts by Sweaty Betty exhorts women to forget worrying about the appearance of their pins and invest in a pair of jazzy shorts so that they may exercise in both comfort and style. The reason why I like this campaign so much goes bey…
