From five years ago, incredibly. My advice to anyone under 50: do try and enjoy yourself; after 50 each year only seems to last about two weeks. by @scottkingstudio

In Goole visiting my old friend Ace … and ruining his rendition of ‘Thick as Thieves’ with my unsanctioned backing vocals … I thought I sounded great while I was singing it. by @scottkingstudio

Piris & me in Ibiza - we came here because I was desperate to find the hotel I stayed in when I was 14, in 1984. I loved that holiday and have great memories of the hotel having a long downstairs bar that was permanently filled with the sound of Wham!, Culture Club, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, The Weather Girls, Howard Jones, etc. The bar sold ice cold chocolate milk; had both ‘Asteroids’ and ‘Pac-Man’ arcade machines, and opened out on to a beautiful pool with long gardens that stretched all the way to the beach —- I found the hotel and - as you can imagine - it was no longer anything like I remembered… the bar is now a grim - almost prison-style - dining area, the pool is grimy and the gardens have been sold off and built over —— strangely enough though, the 1980s hits were still playing - I’d like to think it’s exactly the same jukebox, unchanged - despite all this change - since 1984. taken in Ibiza, Spain by @scottkingstudio

On holiday in Corfu with Lucy, 1988. No idea where (or why) we got the his’n’hers vests … this was in my Wet Wet Wet period - all the cool kids were into Acid House; whereas I - perhaps mistakenly - believed The Wets were Glasgow’s answer to The Temptations. by @scottkingstudio

Because I spend so much time on the app – I have become something of an expert on the psychology of my fellow culture workers; noting their patterns of behaviour:

• The culture worker who is Space Positive always has something that they cannot wait to ‘share’ – and they clog up your ‘feed’ with endless New Information [NEW(S)] about their latest Spatial Triumph(s):

– I just made The New York Times best-seller list!’
– ‘Happening right now! My collab with @supreme!
– ‘Am having sushi with Patti!’ (Smith)

WHILE:

• The culture worker who is Space Negative – and therefore has no New Information – or any kind of NEW(S) that could generate even a modicum of excitement – might still clog up your feed – but never with anything that could be mistaken for a Spatial Triumph:

– ‘Just made a baked potato, delicious with cheese!’
– ‘New work!’ (in a hospital corridor)
– ‘Am looking at sea kale in Derek Jarman’s garden’

…….
