<p>I&#39;m Ian, I like gravy, and I like custard. Edinburgh-centred quizzer and korfballer, also known to go on about rugby league. I appreciate silliness. Views probably someone else&#39;s.</p><p>I&#39;m interested in a wide range of things. Studied astrophysics, wanted to be a meteorologist, ended up being a statistician.</p><p>My self-esteem always appreciates a boost, although you&#39;ll likely just have to apply that to my written output.</p>

    You know how #Edinburgh Council&amp;#39;s been a bit skint lately? Well apparently they&amp;#39;re thinking of getting corporate sponsors in for some of the monuments in town. I&amp;#39;ve heard that nothing&amp;#39;s been fully agreed yet, but an American Tex-Mex chain is looking to sponsor that big old gun that sits on Calton Hill. If it all gets agreed, it&amp;#39;ll be known for the rest of the year as &amp;quot;Taco Bell&amp;#39;s Cannon&amp;quot;.

    Apparently that was Alan Cumming and companions just leaving the pub as I started setting up for the quiz. Going to have to look him up now to see what he looks like...

    I strongly suspect that today&amp;#39;s 6Music 1991 day will bear only a passing resemblance to the musical 1991 that I experienced.

    Any perpetuation of the myth of the middle class as a way of keeping the proletariat fighting each other instead of those in power aside, is there a more reliable marker of being middle class than having grown up listening to Flanders and Swann?
