Hark the Herald's Christmas gift! It was a year that careered out
of control, with the natives of Scotland feeling like passengers in
a souped-up dodgem car being driven by a crackpot clown without a
valid driving licence. Luckily The Herald's Diary column was able
to cover the toppling of Boris Johnson, the triumphs of Liz Truss,
a huge green-hued shindig and a batlike creature fighting crime on
the streets of Glasgow. All before the outpouring of Royal grief in
September when we said goodbye to the Queen and came to terms with
"God Save the King". Away from the monarchy, there was the surreal
story of a woolly mammoth who might one day play for Scotland, a
knight in armour visiting an Edinburgh pub, a cow patiently waiting
for a train, Santa climbing a statue and an emu loose in
Livingston. And the year also saw a mysterious entity called . . .
the Platty Jubes? This cockamamie compilation presents all sorts of
shenanigans to round off a year like no other. All with that
patented Diary twist.
It was a year when the world went wonky. When planet earth broke
down completely, and we discovered it couldn't be swapped at the
shops for an upgraded product, because nobody had bothered to keep
the receipt. Luckily The Herald's Diary column was available to
cover lockdown lows, Boris bungles and the curious case of a
Scottish rock legend's 'smashing' behaviour. And let's not forget
our intrepid investigation into the mystery of the century -
exactly who was plonking fancy-schmancy woollen hats on the
postboxes of Greenock? In this era of chaos and cataclysmic change,
some things stayed reassuringly the same. Scotland remained
triumphantly average at footy, and the Diary had a chortle about
that, too. This chucklesome compilation presents our favourite
tales and quirky comments from a year like no other. Included, too,
are longer stories set in the mysterious worlds of pubs and ukulele
strummers. It's been a funny old year. And this is a funny new
book. Brace yourself for a deluge of daffy Diary delights.
