The boy fae Dunblane. I grew up watching your matches at Wimbledon on tv in the kitchen. Staying up late into the summer nights after school. Crumpling ma mum’s top from gripping onto her in suspense. Ma Dad doing nervous, muttering loops of the house before every break point. ‘Nut, he’s fucked it’. You echoing that through the tv, the mic picking up you calling yerself every name under the sun at the smallest mistake. And then that grit would kick in. That Perthshire built engine. And the hands on the boy! Those Maradona hands. The touch, the impossible lobs and the ‘get tae fuck see ye later’ angle bending passing shots. And then there was you. That self deprecation & sense of fairness you maintained alongside your unwavering, tetchy, Shankly-esque self belief made me proud of who we build at hame.
Beauty and iron.
But best of all, was watching ye grow from a bairn to man to a God on that grass.
M’ANDEHH! 🏴 @andymurray

It is the 27th anniversary of the Dunblane massacre that tragically killed 16 innocent children and their teacher who tried to protect them. As this is in Scotland where I am from this tragedy is quite close to me and I just hope all the families and friends of these poor innocent people are doing well and I am so sorry for their loss on this terrible day.
But this absolutely horrific crime was the turning point for the UK and gun control and because of this horrendous shooting gun control was stricter and now little to no shootings happen.
Overall I just want to say RIP to the victims and thoughts are with family and friends

27 years ago today a man entered Dunblane Primary school in Scotland, armed with a pistol and a revolver. He proceeded to kill 16 children, aged 5 and 6 years old, and 1 teacher before turning a gun on himself. Today we remember the victims, and the heroism of their teacher.
These are their names: Victoria Elizabeth Clydesdale (age 5), Emma Elizabeth Crozier (age 5), Melissa Helen Currie (age 5), Charlotte Louise Dunn (age 5), Kevin Allan Hasell (age 5), Ross William Irvine (age 5), David Charles Kerr (age 5), Mhairi Isabel MacBeath (age 5), Gwen Mayor (age 45) (teacher), Brett McKinnon (age 6), Abigail Joanne McLennan (age 5), Emily Morton (age 5), Sophie Jane Lockwood North (age 5), John Petrie (age 5), Joanna Caroline Ross (age 5), Hannah Louise Scott (age 5), Megan Turner (age 5).

i’m house-hunting currently and it’s like the wild west out there. everything is overpriced and falling apart. i finally found one that looked nice, roof intact, reasonably priced. then it turned out that the neighbour on one side has never replaced the (wooden, rotting) doors or window frames in the 60+ years he’s lived there and has at least six scrap cars lying in his garden. the neighbour on the other side has stolen half the driveway in building an illegal extension that is bigger than his house. it’s not even cheap enough to justify being sandwiched between two nutcases
#guy with the cars is in a gun club as well… my dad said “remember the guy that shot all those school kids in dunblane… he reminds me of him”#personal

God its been almost 30 years since the Dunblane massacre and it still breaks my heart I cannot fathom any country's politics withstanding even one mass school shooting. Jesus christ. The class picture of all those weans absolutely breaks my heart and I can only hope that other places take the same lesson of Never Let This Happen Again.
#its also why no matter how much I love black sails the name thomas hamilton will always make me flinch#i lived in dunblane for a couple years. those weans would have been the same age as one of my best friends now. its horrible

Mad John Ward and the UK gun laws...
Mad John Ward and the UK gun laws…
John Ward interviewed by a Russian TV reporter (don’t ask) Mad inventor and Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award designer John Ward used to be a member of a local shooting club. It was local – thank the Lord – to him, not to me. He used to keep guns in his house. “Normal people,” (I use the term ‘normal’ loosely when talking of John Ward) “are not allowed to keep guns in their house now?” I asked him.…
