QUIZ NEWS: West Port Oracle is back tonight with Stuart. And Bar Oz will return next week. The city is healing.

Also – In an act of rash generosity, Brass Monkey overlord Martin has added a cheeky £100 to next week’s jackpot at the Brass Monkey Gorgie, meaning we are offering £150 there next Tuesday

My daughter has left school and started at college. What a skoosh. Three days a week! And on Wednesdays they don’t even start until 11am. Wild.

What’s the skooshiest work you’ve ever had?

I remember being “unemployed” for a year or so in the mid 1990s in Glasgow. That was pretty cool. To be honest, I wasn’t totally unemployed: I had some cash-in-hand jobs for extra dough: postering, DJ-ing, medical work, writing.

But, apart from that, I had a lot of time on my hands. It was nice. I thoroughly recommend all you young folk to try unemployment for a year. It doesn’t suit everyone but it might suit you. It might turn out to be your vocation.

Remember: every corpse on Mount Everest was once a highly-motivated person.

So that’s my Ted Talk. Thanks for reading. See you tonight:

Music Round clue for West Port Oracle tonight:

This is Janet Jackson and one of her songs from the late 90s. It’s in the music round tonight at the West Port Oracle. It’s blander than a blancmange, less offensive than a daisy. And yet, catchy. Ah – the mystery of pop music.
