(I met Dougie Vipond once. He was really nice & really sharp. So nice I felt guilty about not liking Deacon Blue...)

Not good for John Beattie - hope he is OK and the perps get discovered and punished.
We were at the next table to Dougie Vipond at the Revolution Series in Glasgow last Saturday night - he was out getting p1$$ed with his mates, so we didn't bother him.

I saw Dougie on a narrow boat on the canal filming for Landward a few months ago. I'd never realised that he was in Deacon Blue.

Got stoned in Dalkeith on NCN1. Great accuracy from the young tearaway - hit the back of my helmet from a good twenty metres.
Not very brave though. Ran away home.

Years ago in Belfast I was heading home (W to E) about to go through what used to be a roundabout on the Grosvener Road. Stopped behind a car to get onto the roundabout and some wee lads a few metres away (like, under 10) started throwing glass bottles from the PILE at their feet at me as well as at the cars. I was so taken aback they were ok to chuck them at people that I was just LOOKING, and one hit me in the face - bounced of my helmet, but pushed my glasses into the bridge of my nose so I was bleeding. As soon as I could move I headed through the roundabout and stopped at the handy PSNI station just on the other side. They refuse to even go and chase the kids off (they had a look on the CCTV at the roundabout and could see they were still there! "They're too young to prosecute." "Yes, I wasn't actually here to get them SENT DOWN guys!"). Police assumed I was there to start the process to make a "claim". Had to call friends to pick me up as I was too wobbly to ride home. Erch!

Not sure why you posted that link to KGB headquarters in Minsk circa 1983?
