Nothing below factor 20 for us, so won't quite get to Rodgers level on the chart

Well done guys. I listened to the radio version on my lounger in Lanzarote and chuckled away to myself. I Player doesn't work outside the UK so I'll have to wait until next Sunday to give the tv version a watch

Breaking the News - Series 15 - TV: Episode 2 Des Clarke is joined by Susie McCabe, Amanda Dwyer and Liam Withnail to break down the week’s news and then put it back together again!

If you're not sure what to do with your extra hour tonight, you could spend half of it watching this week's #BreakingTheNews and laughing at some of my jokes

Might start watching Riot Women tonight, the show about 5 menopausal women forming a band. I'll be disappointed if they don't do a cover of Sultans of Mood Swing

Fantastic show again today. Des and the panel were on fire, and some of my gags were in amongst the fun too

Im fully on board with getting carried away. I'm the world champion at that when it comes to Scotland

Yeah, it would leave us and Denmark on 10pts, Greece 3Pts, Belarus 0Pts. 2 games left.

This is some performance by your boys tonight. Could easily have been 3 or 4 by now

Can somebody at the SFA please make sure Steve Clarke studies a video of this Northern Ireland performance. 2-0 going on 4 or 5. Brilliant, positive, high energy. Surely McGinn, McTominay, Doak, Gilmour, Robertson, Hickey would love to be set up to play like this

10.10.2025 20:31 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

We need to beat Belarus and hope Denmark beat Greece on Sunday to guarantee top 2 place. If we play like last night I can't see us getting anything from Greece away and Denmark at home in the final 2 games, so hopefully done and dusted this weekend

Nothing is sacred anymore. It will always be Windsor Park for me. Although after last night, Hampden Park should be renamed Hide Behind the Sofa Park

I had to Google the exchange rate and also thought it looked really cheap. Im sure you'll have a great time

Oh boy! That looks amazing. I opened the whisky menu, and it's huge.

I've never been to any of the Scandinavian countries, but I'd love to go

Haha! How little faith you had. Last week I was the same. At 90minutes i was cursing myself for triple captaining Haaland. At 93minutes it was a master stroke

I think we're all happy with 1 out of 6 then anything else is a bonus

Noising Up - 03/10/2025 - BBC Sounds An uproarious mix of topical comedy sketches.

Delighted to have another couple of sketches on this week's Noising Up. Last of the series, and I managed a full house of something on each episode. Well done to all the cast, crew and writers who contributed to s6. Fingers crossed for a s7

@mikecooperrp.bsky.social on an afternoon out in Glasgow and we stumbled upon Pipers Whisky Bar. This is a small pic of the huge selection. Immediately thought of your good self when I saw the gantry πŸ₯ƒ

Makes the busy week worthwhile hearing something you wrote on the radio on a Friday. I've not submitted to the Skewer in a while. I love the show, but sourcing the clips isn't my skill set. Although, one of the credits I'm most proud of was when my son built clips I sourced and we got a joint credit
