WE try to stay out of politics in this column but, honestly, I reckon I’ve had longer hires than the period of time Liz Truss managed to stay in office!

Another week, another Prime Minister – it’s all becoming depressingly familiar, isn’t it?

Dressing up as the Prime Minister for Halloween? Maybe wait till Sunday before picking your outfit – there might be another one along by then!

There have been so many jokes doing the rounds this week that even WhatsApp couldn’t cope for a few hours.

Rishi Sunak’s got his work cut out, that’s for sure, but without jinxing it the phrase “surely it cannae get any bloody worse!” does come to mind.

Anyway, let’s park the politics and have a look a little closer to home.

It’s been another star-studded week for Glasgow. No, I don’t mean Robbie Williams at the Hydro … Instead this one was proper A-list material, as confirmed by your Glasgow Times, with Billy Connolly visiting Glasgow restaurant Mediterraneo. Legend.

Ask 100 Glaswegians which three guests they’d like to have at a dinner party and I bet you the Big Yin would make the cut on at least half the lists.

Also this week the UK’s only solar eclipse of the year was spotted from Glasgow.

We were reminded by the boffins never to look directly at it – wish they’d recommend the same about the news!

Speaking of news, mind this time last year there was only one topic in town? Does anyone remember? Well done you at the back – yip, COP26.

Starting on Halloween 2021, the conference took over the city and then some for almost two weeks, with the natives restless about road closures, the cost of the whole thing and the fact pretty much everything made way when the world leaders were on the move.

Hilarious to remember that this was now three Prime Ministers ago (to be fair, so was two months ago!) – Sunak, Truss, Johnson … yep Boris Johnson was the one under the spotlight when it all took place. Whatever happened to him?

It’s been a quiet 12 months since eh!

But if COP seemed a big deal when it was at home is it really such a big deal when it’s not?

To put this to the test, dear reader, here’s another poser for you: Where exactly is COP27 taking place later this year?

No clues…I can tell you if you don’t know but you’d need to join my pyramid scheme.

Stay safe!
