Butlins Ayr Trilogy is coming back!. It's been ten years since the first installment of the Butlins Ayr Trilogy, "What Time Does Midnight Cabaret Start" was published. Next year, an updated version of the book series is to be published in Spring 2026.

Thanks to our wonderful work's IT system, I left work ten minutes later than planned. I almost missed my train. My walking stick has never moved so fast.

It's a radio double whammy this week. What connects McFly and Duran Duran? Find out tonight at 6pm Spanish Time on More FM Spain and on Friday's Lunchtime Experience on Regal Radio this Friday at 1pm.

What connects Tight Fit and the Brotherhood of Man. Find out tomorrow evening 6PM Spanish Time on More FM. morefm.es

May you live as long as you want to, and want to as long as you life. Have a great 2025 peeps

Tune into Frankie Boy's pre Hogmanay Bash tomorrow 6pm Spanish Time on www morefm es

Been watching a documentary on Billy Connolly and his funniest moments, which included the show that launched him in America, the Whoopie Goldberg show. I would have loved to have seen them two in a film together. That would have been comedy gold.

Frankie Boy back on air tomorrow 6pm Spanish Time, www.morefm.es

When you talk about iconic Strictly moments. That Waltz was it. Welling up again.

Been looking at the Xmas TV mag and one regular programme is missing this year. "To be Announced."

There is definitely something not quite right when you see someone doing an Argentine Tango dressed like Henry the eighth.

It's not Pete Wick's fault if the public vote him in. No excuse for some of the hate doing the rounds on social media.

I expect that there will be more questionable verdicts on Strictly tonight. But you will not hear me shout "FIX". It never happened during our "Come Dancing" days. Back then it was "We was robbed"

What connects Kylie Minogue and Mud? Find out on Monday as Frankie Boy goes festive ( just a smidgeon) 6pm Monday ( Spanish Time) www.morefm.es

Quote from a Greenock Taxi Driver whilst driving through a street full of salons. "I have decided that my next business venture will be to move to Turkey and open up a Scottish Barber Shop."

Guilty as charged

Back on the air soon. What connects S Club Juniors and The Saturdays? Find out Monday 6pm Spanish Time www.morefm.es

I don't think I have posted this on here yet. Great fun at a popular filming location. The week before it was Russian ballet. youtu.be/z3egGd7aMZI?...

When it comes to writing books, for me that was the easiest part. Getting them to buy it is a different beast. I could never understand how to market stuff. After watching this, I realise I am over complicating things. frankmcgroarty.com/marketing-th...

It could only happen to me. I woke up suddenly thinking I had slept in for work. Half dressed I then realised it was 5:09am. So I went back to bed for another hour. When I slept in.

I had written and published five books before I found out I was dyslexic. Any dyslexic authors out there? Would love to hear about your coping strategies.

Remember those Hi De Hi years. Out now in e book Paperback, Hardback and Audio format. #BYNR

I have a musical question. I am trying to find an arrangement of "Eric's Theme" from Chariots of Fire done as a "Waltz". Any suggestions?

It's the pre festive Lunchtime Experience on Regal Radio. www.mixcloud.com/regalradio/t...

youtu.be/N0mW6QpQXQA?... Before Strictly was a twinkle in a Producer's eye. Blink and you'll miss me.

As I am starting a new social media account from Scratch, I thought I would post this for all you Butlins devotees out there. Apologies in advance for the method acting. youtu.be/z3egGd7aMZI?...

Well I am now officially "Ex" X. I have a lot to thank social media for as it reconnected me with so many friends from decades ago as well as connect me with so many special new ones. When it works, it is so much fun.

I felt sorry for the backing dancers in that last dance. Imagine their dancing CV "I was a jar of mustard on Strictly."

Last night, I did something I haven't done in over 40 years. Trying on a new set of proper dance shoes. And no, I am not going back to doing competitions again.
