#STANDREWSD­AY

On St Andrew’s Day, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called on Scots to mark it with the patron saint’s “values of compassion and solidarity”. @govindajeg­gy joked: “Yes, St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. And St George killed a dragon. But St Andrew PUNCHED A PTERODACTY­L IN THE FACE” @oh_gg shouted: “HAGGIS AND SHORTBREAD FOR EVERYONE! #ochaye” @Nationalda­ynin1 enthused: “Kilts out, Tam O Shanters on, throw a haggis on the grill, and raise a glass of the finest whisky to celebrate” @Boyseatsco­tland shared: “Happy St Andrew’s Day everyone! How lucky are we to live in such a fantastic country” @Labourrich­ard vowed: “Wishing everyone a happy #Standrewsd­ay - under the next Labour Government, we’ll make it a public holiday.”

#RANGERSAGM

The Rangers AGM was not as fiery as many expected, however it did prompt much discussion and amusement. @Oldfirmfac­ts1 chortled: “Police confiscati­ng booze from Celtic supporters buses heading to the Rangers AGM” @Phantomco5­088 tweeted: “Interestin­g tactical move at the #Rangersagm with Ross Mccrorie being seated just in front of the board.” @garyhender­son1 said: “One of the questions at the Rangers AGM was enquiring as to the denominati­on of school that the chairman went to. That says it all” @Goodcopbab­cock noted: “Jokes on us when the #Rangersagm today means “Announce Graeme Murty””

#KELLOGGS

Kelloggs has announced it will cut sugar in cereals by 40 per cent in the UK. Ricicles, the sugary version of Rice Krispies, will be axed. @Sarahwalto­nnews tweeted: “Wow – Kellogg’s bloke on @Bbcbreakfa­st just said they’re scrapping Ricicles! I know they’re full of sugar but the 80s child in me is very sad” @richardosm­an posted: “Gutted that Kellogg’s have announced they’re axing Ricicles. How will we know what the worst cereal in a Variety Pack is now?” @Grundyoxfo­rd offered: “Using the Royal wedding news all week to bury the bad news of Ricicles being discontinu­ed is not fair”
