THE BIG trip down memory lane this week in Glasgow was the Crosby, Stills and Nash concert at the Royal Concert Hall. Many of the fans attending were as old as the septuagenarian singers. David Will from Milngavie tells us: "A great night, but long queues for the toilets, the provision of which was inadequate for the ageing audience. In one such queue, a fellow fan told me that, on being asked by his daughter what he wanted for his sixtieth birthday he had replied, 'a joint'.

"I assumed that he meant a smoke, but on looking at the long line awaiting their turn I could be persuaded to think he meant a hip replacement."

GREAT documentary on BBC Alba a week tonight about Rangers legend Jim Baxter - who knew that crime writer Val McDermid's dad discovered Baxter? At a preview screening in the GFT, Jim's son Alan told the audience that unlike other Scots players who hid away that day, dad Jim actually went to Wembley in 1966 to see the World Cup final that England won. It seems he spent the game working out what he would have done if he had been playing. Leaving Wembley he told sports writer Ken Gallacher: "Imagine, eh. England world champions. I’m puffed oot beating them.”

MARGOT McCuaig from Purple TV in Govan who directed the Jim Baxter documentary, found footage of Jim talking about the time he took Real Madrid's Ferenc Puskas to a house party in Drumchapel after a European tie - oh come on, they did great parties in Drumchapel. The superb Puskas became friendly with a local girl in the house's scullery. As Jim explained: "I've always thought there should be a plaque in Drumchapel which would state 'The great footballer Puskas scored here'."

SO the right-wing media got very excitable about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn not singing "God Save the Queen" in St Paul's Cathedral. Others supported his actions. We simply pass on the comment of Mauro Vanetti who summed up the National Anthem as: " ?Non-existent entity, please keep unelected super-wealthy leader safe from unspecified danger."

OH and Jeremy did indeed, as we mentioned in yesterday's Diary, put questions to the Prime Minister that had been sent in by the public. He did not alas ask the question posed by Scottish comic book writer Mark Millar who suggested: "Can the prime minister explain why there is no mouse-flavoured cat food.?"

On social media Still Game writer Greg Hemphill jumped in: "I'd like to answer this if I may. There is such a thing as mouse-flavoured cat food. It's called mice."

GLASGOW Warriors are to play the Army in a friendly a week on Friday at Scotstoun. We are wondering if manager Gregor Townsend was going for a touch of humour when he said on the club's webpage that "the Army are currently preparing for the International Defence Rugby Competition in October, so they're sure to be a well-drilled side.”

WE'VE not mentioned Kilwinning for a while, so we pass on from John Bannerman in Kilmaurs: "An elderly friend in my home town of Kilwinning was taken by his daughter to the local optician for new specs. The optician fitted a pair onto his ears, and asked him if they fitted. He replied that they were perfect, and he could see perfectly with them. The optician had to explain, 'These are just the frames - the lenses have still to be put in'."

WISE words from a Glasgow woman heard by a reader discussing her mobile phone who told pals: "I keep some people's numbers in my phone just so as I know not to answer when they call."
