Graham Norton was resplendent in a tartan suit as he stepped out to talk about his new book in Glasgow.
Graham was staying at the Blythswood hotel before heading through to Edinburgh where he admitted one if his favourite authors was Scots born Denise Mina.
Graham got the crowd laughing at the bash particularly when one fan asked him to listen to their radio show droptheboom.com. Despite Irish born Graham being a Celt there were language barriers as he misheard the title and asked if it was spelled bomb.
The radio person replied in ernest, ‘No drop as in D.R.O.P’
Graham should have had his big red chair with him.
Billionaire Tom Hunter was looking pretty cool in a tracksuit when I bumped into him in town.
Sir Tom told me he wasn’t on a keep fit regime.
Instead the 56 year old who was with wife Marion and friends including former Clyde 1 boss Paul Cooney been at a gig in town and told me he wanted to fit in with the rest of the cool crowd.
Tom has always been a very down to earth man and I remember visiting some of Glasgow’s favourite chippies with him and his posse in the past.
He’s been busy of late working on the kiltwalk and he asked me to ask you if you can take part in the next one.
I might well be doing it too now.
You can choose a charity of your choice and Sir Tom will top up by forty percent whatever money you raise.
He said: “We has over 20,000 walkers this year and are very chuffed with that.”
I indulged in what must be one of the most unusual desserts of this year at Oro Italian in Glasgow.
Their ice cream cheeseboard sees Melt in the mouth versions of Mozarella, Marscapone and Ricotta all appearing on one plate.
It was really odd when the Buffalo Mozarella flavour was served up with olive oil, salt and balsamic glaze, but it all worked beautifully!!
What an amazing concoction by chef and restauranteur Domenico Crolla who tells me is now off to Roma to pick up yet another food award.

Kilts were very much in vogue on Tuesday night as both Enrique Iglesias and Eric Cantona wore one to mark their visits here.
Enrique’s kilt was presented to him by radio presenter Adele Cunningham who managed to get him a special pink Heart radio kilt made to order by Slanj.
Robin Galloway, who was also backstage, advised Enrique to wear nothing underneath but only those in the front row can tell whether he did - or not.
I’ve triple booked myself this Friday night so if I see you please give me a drink of water to rehydrate me.
Firstly I’ll be saying a very quick hello at The Dockyard Social where they have a special evening with some bloggers ahead of their Halloween market this weekend.
Then I’ll be heading westwards to Clinica Medica to go live on Facebook around six thirty pm and talk about some fat removing treatments with Dr Awfa Paulina (I should take the hint after all my weeks of gorging)
And lastly I’ll be freaking myself out at the launch of GlasGLOW at Botanic Gardens - with a Halloween themed magical sound and light show.
I’ll let you know if I survive...
