1 We’re still being safe in Scotland, but that doesn’t mean we’re no longer a nation of funtime frankies.
Do you fancy a French martini, a frozen daiquiri or a cheeky wee Vimto delivered to your own front door with a smile? There’s an array of cocktails, pints and shots to choose from and mocktails galore for the wee people. Available at very reasonable prices and winging your way, if your lucky enough to live in the Greater Glasgow area, including East Kilbride and Cumbernauld and all the way down to Dumbarton rock. I’m good then! Woohoo… All courtesy of Zander Nation – more details on fb. To order either call them on 07879709350 or email zanders33@hotmail.com. Get down on it …

4 Sadly we can’t go to Pride March this year, but we can go to Pride Inside. Amnesty International, UK Black Pride, Stonewall and ParaPride join forces for this virtual Pride celebration, which includes a series of gigs, comedy shows, panel discussions and arts-based events. https://prideinside.uk. After that, stick on the Kylie and belt out Britney’s latest drop. We’ll see you next year, flags a flying.
5 During lockdown we’ve had one constant ... the amazing Tim Burgess. We’ve joined The Charlatans frontman streaming in full some of the greatest albums of recent memory. The online album listening sessions have taken off during lockdown, with members of Blur, Oasis, The Libertines and more tweeting stories of their albums track-by-track, as Twitter users listen along. When the show’s about to start, the link to join will appear on your ticket, or you can access the stream link and they will email you during the day. Register at www.timstwitterlisteningparty.com and follow the main man on twitter @Tim_Burgess. This week he is listening to David Bowie and 10cc. If you didn’t get enough Bowie at last week’s Glasthomebury (and too much Bowie is never enough) then get the LP on the record player or the Spotify on the phone and tweet along with Tim’s Twitter Listening Party.
6 Did you get the Disney + app for the weans during lockdown? If so, then treat yourself to Hamilton the musical. Fanbloodytastic. The Broadway and West End smash hit streamed live in your own living room.
7 Neil Young playing under a harvest moon appeal? The man himself is live streaming a backyard set straight to your sofa. Following on from his incredibly popular fireside sessions during lockdown, Young is taking the magic outside. He’s grabbed a few ice-cold beers and taken himself out to his own back porch and picked up the old guitar. Tune in any time you like from today for a streamed down alfresco solo set of his favourites. Just Neil and his dug (and you). https://neilyoungarchives.com/movie-night
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
