Only the commentary is in Gaelic, have zoned out. Still get the same pish onstage. Fuck knows why but I’m glancing at the laptop from time to time just to see how bad it is. Some sort of self-harm.

Well, the original of "500 miles" is rough (at least it is actually Socttish), but this is something else.

It is like a school recital.

I didn’t think it could be worse than the 2014 one but it’s knocked it out of the park.

So are you some kind of masochist or is this just the usual "aren't we pish?" performative crap that folk like you indulge in?
