Beware of the ampersand...
Thanks to all who have been leaving comments on the blog, especially those of you who have persevered through our recent 'technical issues'. Various problems with the blog engine meant that some comments posted just didn't appear.
Seemingly it's all down to bit of rogue code which cropped up in some postings. ( Although that makes it sound like we work at rather than the ´óÏó´«Ã½)
The blog boffins have advised me that anyone posting on the blog should avoid the use of symbols, particulary the ampersand. That means no &,Ìý /, or even a bit of " " !
However, does the fact that I have used those symbols in that last paragraph mean that my own post will not now appear? Worrying...

Back in Rio after nearly 5 weeks in Europe. Caught some of the shows while in Scotland and met up with some fellow bloggers too.

Well despite the fact you are sometimes a wee bit cheeky and naughty, yes I have missed your blogs ;-) You sound like you have been having a great summer whilst we have all been aquaplaning along the M8! Glad to know everything will be back in place for next week shows...

Don't be taken in by Adam's five weeks in Europe.
He wasn't too far away from the M8 during his "tour".

Maybe you can clear this one up for us then? Is Adam really in Rio or just masquerading from Larbert or Kirky or some similar exotic location?!! I am not sure I can trust him anymore ;-)

p.s. Glen Miller - I think Cerys is a bit of a Marmite artist - love her or hate her. Appreciate she isn't to everyones liking but then I can't stand Neil Young....

It's a pity he had to be banished to the colonies in the first place; thank goodness for e-mail communication! He quite likes it out there though since he's the only Scot in the (Rio) village!

I can confirm Adam is in Rio so it's safe to let your daughters out at night.
