"He was kind of raggedy and wild. And she was very beautiful, you know..."

Trumpet-botherer, Louis Armstrong is doing Mack the Knife on telly so I'll tell you a tenuously linked story. I was -many moons ago- dragged to a karaoke night at an extremely rough bar in Glasgow by a mate whose girlfriend's gangster dad had taken him there a few weeks before "with no bother".

Also, how is "A bit left of Glasgow" 6 hours away? My directions are all: -Follow the A770 to Gourock -Board the ferry, the ferry-master must be paid with a story -Disembark at Dunoon, which is only visible by moonlight -Head West across the trackless moors for exactly 6.66 miles -Join the A886

Ok it has no moving tractors but otherwise this field art is up there with the best ever. Was at 27.2 km to go, a tribute from Saône-et-Loire, the département. #tdf2026
