Isosceles for spots & Scotland’s finest

What a great surprise to hear Isosceles soundtracking an ad for OXY on the telly. Was just watching Toy Soldiers on ITV 3 with the kids, and the commercial kept coming on. Brilliant stuff!

Another surprise in yesterday's Sunday Herald... the paper squeezing me(!) in between Ashley Jensen and David Tennant in a feature on Scotland's movers and shakers!

That's it gone now. Good times while they lasted (both at Beat 106 & Xfm)... So much potential never realised. Sad to see it die such a slow miserable death.
