'Diversity in schools will help youngsters be more accepting of each other' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The shoes are shined. The pigtails have been sprayed so every hair is neatly laid and requires to be kept away from an open flame. Faces have been wiped, ties have been straightened and warnings have been made to ensure no silly faces are pulled when that lens cap comes off. Then comes the praying. Parents and guardians, well they pray that their offspring sits still and they have managed to not spill macaroni down their new pinafores before the photograph that will live on their granny's wall f
Amy Shearer: 'Remembering the editor who gave me my start and shaped my career' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t mean why you always save your Yorkshire pudding for last when eating a Sunday roast because your granny used to make them and you wanted to savour it. Or why you avoid three drains when walking down the pavement as someone once told you it is bad luck. Or even why you never eat the green Starburst as you once choked on one whilst shopping in Latifs in Glasgow when you were wee (true story). No, I mean your job. Your 9-5, as the late, great Dolly would say. Ask anyone to be brutally hones
Amy Shearer: Inverclyde is ideally positioned to host its own Fringe-style festival (opens the original)

And, despite the fact it takes every bit of strength I

I have become entirely invested in a giant pumpkin lovingly named 'Sea Biscuit'. Every day I check its grower's TikTok account - of which the videos for it are filmed somewhere in rural America - and I await news of whether it has increased in size, whether it is growing into its own vine and suppressing nutrients from the soil reaching it, whether it has split or even if it has been attacked in the night by wild animals. Why am I invested? I have no idea. I've never really found myself to be on
Amy Shearer: 'Could coffee shops soon replace pubs?' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Congratulations, you achieved what so many consider to be impossible: you've put a catch up is in the diary. It's taken weeks, maybe even months of coordination, but you've finally pinned down your best pals for a few hours of uninterrupted time where you'll hear life news, reminisce about days gone by and rehash the same bit of gossip that you've been giggling about for almost as long as you've known one another. The date is set. The time is cemented. And as for the midweek post-work or gloriou
