Roddy Macleod's Blog. Activities during retirement, plus occasional information-related posts. All posts by Roddy MacLeod. Just say ‘No’ to #indyref2. Posted by Roddy MacLeod. On August 30, 2016. I’m neither for nor against nuclear weapons for the UK, but probably more against than for. Merely thinking about nuclear weapons ever being deployed makes me feel disgusted.

Was excellent, last night at the Edinburgh Book Festival. He hasn’t actually published a book recently, and explained in the first ten minutes why this was the case (he hasn’t yet completed. Well, as you can imagine, he started by saying that he had never been asked this question before, and then continued with a fairly lengthy a...

The guide, Stephano, was very good to us – sometimes you didn’t even get your feet wet. The house that John Malkovich didn’t buy. There is a lovely arboretum. You are commenting ...
