Forget Black Friday.. I’d rather sale into sunset

SO HOW was your Black Friday? Lot of hype for me. Seriously, if you want to roll around the floor fighting strangers for cheap stuff, just go to TK Maxx any day of the year. In America, it traditionally falls in late November, the day after Thanksgiving. Which in Scotland is the day your granny puts the sprouts on to boil for Christmas dinner. Cyber Monday is the next big one. Not to be confused with Cider Monday, which is when folk rush to buy bottles of White Lightning before the minimum alcohol price kicks in. Mind you, the biggest deal going wasn’t in any shops. Brexit supporters in the Cabinet have promised to pay the EU a £40billion divorce bill. Unfortunately for the European Union, that promise was written on the side of a bus. Forty billion, though. Surely the biggest European transfer since Neymar went to PSG? As part of the settlement, the two sides will have to agree on all the important issues. Like what happens to EU citizens in the UK, how the Northern Ireland border will work and who gets custody of Gino D’Acampo. If you didn’t get fleeced in the shops, chances are you might have got shafted trying to go to a gig. Ticket touts have been all over the news. MP Pete Wishart has called for a clampdown after his old band Runrig’s farewell gigs were hijacked. You wouldn’t believe the number of fans going off their head. I think it was both of them. They can sell tickets for many times the face value. Spare a thought for Cher fans. After all that work, her face will be worth a fortune. Come on, though, this type of scamming has been going on for donkeys’ years. It all started in ancient Egypt – that was a pyramid scheme. Personally, my worst ticketing

ROBERT Mugabe has finally been ousted as Zimbabwe’s president.

Mugabe spent years leading a divided people through economic hardship and rebellion.

He’s expected to be unveiled as the new Rangers boss on Monday.

experience was when I was given briefs to a Jedward gig. And they turned up.

But we cannae talk spending other folk’s cash without a mention of the Queen and Prince Philip.

They celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary and, as is traditional, they received platinum.

Which they’ve already tucked away in an offshore bank account.

The Queen also appointed her hubby a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.

Poor old Phil was gutted. He wanted a fidget spinner.

That said, he did think Black Friday was something very different.

As for the bargain hunting, I’m with the Queen. I’ve had my Phil.
