At 6.56am my Dad, hero & best pal slipped away peacefully @ home, after a 10 yr fight with prostate cancer. The
@NHSScotland
staff are amazing. Right now I’m utterly💔, but will remember nothing but the absolute joy he brought to so many. Bobby Harvey. Take your final bow 🎻❤️🏴
Fernando Ricksen -I sat with him at a charity dinner years ago, nobody was bidding for 1 item, so he put his hand up and bid £2000 to get a hand crocheted quilt. He smiled politely then turned and whispered ‘what is a quilt?’His campaigning for MND has been inspirational. RIP. X
To everyone with a broken heart we’ve got this! See friends, be alone, shed a tear, laugh at the memories whatever works for you. This is my first time with no grandparents or parents. It’s going to hurt but I’ll be grand. The loss proved we were loved & that’s EVERYTHING.🎄❤️🤗
Want to see some photos of the world’s happiest man?
Galavanting out of local area ✅ Ice cream ✅ Costa del Clyde✅ Fish supper✅. Today has been a very good day 🥰😃
I’m missing him so much right now it physically hurts. He would have been 87 today, however still perpetually grateful for the fun and nonsense we had together. 💔💔He loved a party. 🥳
Last year I took 2 ping Haggis meals to my Dad. He had made the real thing , dressed up and got his fiddle oot! I miss this crazy wee sonsie face so much. ❤️❤️ the man o’ independent mind he looks and laughs at a’ that. Happy Burns Night. 🏴
For the last 15 months Dad’s dreamed of Rothesay, where his Dad was born & he spent his holidays. Today he felt good, the sun shone so my Bro & I chucked other plans to head to the Costa Del CLyde! Zavaroni’s cone, a paddle and

of joy. Make time to the memories❤️😍
1 year ago today I lost my best pal, hero, Dad. Today I’ve nothing but fond memories of our adventures & the joy he spread. One of the last things he told me was ‘ life is for living - enjoy yourself Toots!’ I’m trying my best. I miss him. So much. But let’s keep on dancing 🥳💃
My new best pal is Pauline! Scotland Captain ANDY Robertson’s maw who I met in the lavvy!! Yaaaas 🤣🤣🏴 she is super lovely and we are friends forever 🤣🤣🤣🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Me: What do you want?
Dad: 2 cakes.
Me: Do you not want soup?
Dad: I want 2 cakes!
Me: You can’t have 2 cakes.
Dad: HOW NO?
Me: ....
....
.....
(He’s 85, has been shielding and 2020 is 💩)
Please enjoy this pic of Scotland’s happiest man - ‘BOBBY TWO CAKES’ 🤣🤣🤣 I tried......
I visit Dad 3x week with supplies and to clean. Today I mentioned on air i’d bought him a Haggis meal for Burns Night.I arrive at his today, door is open, I worry. Then i hear fiddle music and he’s in the kitchen having made the full works and playing Burns songs! 🏴 1-0 Dad! 🤣
Happy 86th Birthday to my Dad.
Me: What do you want for your birthday dinner ? I’ll get the supplies and make you anything.
Dad: Can we get a curry cairry oot Toots? Yir cooking’s sh***.
Just as well we have both got a sense of humour eh?! 🤣🙈🤣🙈😁
10 years today since my Mum passed away. I feel her gentle nature always and hear her sensible advice in my head every day. Like my Dad, I never listen, but I hear it! Oh to have 1 more garden centre scone💔 She taught me to be kind and never to spend more than £10 on an outfit!
Awww 😍 My wee Dad taking his fiddle out to his street to support all the NHS and key workers!! Love it! Thanks Ian for sending the clip. He’ll be away in to have a tin of vintage 1973 spaghetti hoops now🤣
Lovely day in Oban. Must admit it felt a bit strange watching the Calmac with a cone without my Dad. However, it’s one family tradition I’m never giving up! Mon the 99’s! ❤️🥳🍦
This tweet is brought to you on my Dad’s request. ‘Show your pals on the twitternet’ 🤣 He wants to show you his BUMBERRY!Yes it’s a strawberry shaped like a bum & pleased us both way more than it should. So here you go... my Dad’s BUMBERRY. Social media was invented for this 🤣
Happy 85th Birthday to the legend that is Bobby Harvey aka Ma wee da’. Took him for lunch. ‘I just want soup’. Then he adds ‘ with chips’. 🤣 His birthday meal was a soup supper! Ah well at 85 order what you like. Delighted to still be his partner in nonsense and mischief.🥳🥳
This press conference is pretty much the worst thing I’ve ever seen on TV!!! How can he defend that man? This is absolute car crash and is hurtful to every single decent person who has been obeying the strict and emotionally tough lockdown rules to keep people safe.😡
2 years 💔Not a day goes by when I don’t miss his chat, his laugh and his zest for living. I’ve had a lot less cones at the seaside, but I’ve so many happy memories I think of him today with a smile and gratitude.
If you’re lucky enough to still have them - make the time!❤️
Dad and I used to play this tune as Mum loved it. Last night we did it for the 1st time in years.
@EwenDCameron
filmed it and I’m glad he did. Dad turns 85 next month and gets annoyed as his fingers don’t work like they used to. I still happen to think he’s the best 😍🏴🏴
21.20pm and I am finally able to eat solids. The toast has stayed down! 🥳🥳it’s fair to say my only Hangover of 2020 feels like 22 years of hangovers in one. What a game -what a night. Spending my night watching videos of the
@ScotlandNT
partying too. Magic , just magic 👏🏻🏴🥳
Just had a visit from musicians May & Robert Miller. Robert is also an artist & gave me this fab painting of my Dad gieing it laldi with his fiddle on the Waverley.I was a blubbering wreck but what a kind gesture. He’s got mischief in his eyes & that’s how I’ll remember him❤️🥰
Gutted to hear about Billy McNeill, a legend in every sense of the word. I presented a Champions League highlight show with him for 3 yrs on STV. The laughs we had off camera will stay with me forever. An astute pundit, the consummate pro but above all an absolute gentleman. RIP
I’m in Tenerife at a 70th birthday booked before this game was rescheduled.All my pals are at a dinner in a fancy restaurant and I’m heading to the Highlander bar to, erm, ‘report on the game’ or something. I am Cat no mates and looking for new match watching friends.🏴🏴🤣🤣

@callumstweets

Heartbreaking scenes in Glasgow. Thoughts with all involved. It always feels personal when it’s your home town. Once again we rely on ALL our emergency services. They must be utterly exhausted what a year. Well they have my thanks from the bottom of my heart, always. 💔💔💔
The news today has been grim. So here’s a pic of my Da loving our day drip to Loch Lomond. I took him for the carvery @ Queen of the Loch in Balloch and we ate turkey, cauliflower cheese Yorkshire puddings and gravy. He behaved impeccably, I dribbled everything down my top. 😁😁
Happy 50th Birthday to my radio partner in crime

Without doubt the most hilarious, genuine, talented, infuriating and annoying fud you will ever meet. 🤣🎉🎉
Seven years ago tonight my Mum slipped away. Never a day goes by without her popping into my mind at some point giving me advice and telling me to keep the heid. Only happy memories now. 🙂
Today would be my Mum& Dad’s 60th wedding anniversary. They made it to 53, still amazing. I took him for breakfast, black pudding and a tattie scone as ‘my teeth won’t go through the roll’. She would have laughed. shared happy tales and agreed her saying yes was a miracle 🤣
Gutted to hear about Craig Brown, one of the nicest men in football. When I was at Uni we had to write a ‘celebrity interview’ he’d just landed the Scotland job so I thought why not.I was given 15 min time slot, his secretary kept telling him it was time to wrap up, an hour and a…
My Dad, 84, is just back from a 3 day bus tour to Liverpool. Not only did he send me a postcard from his day trip to Chester he bought me a fridge magnet and made me a mince and tatties survival kit. Old school- but my favourite person ever.... apart from Ian McCall maybe...🤣
Dad couldn’t download this old book. I sent
@PartickThistle
legend Chico a text asking where I could buy it, he didn’t have one but texted his pals. One had a spare in his loft. Chic asked his boss for an hour off, picked up book, signed it and dropped it off for him. LEGEND 🥰👏🏻

@Sunday_Mail
column so her family asked me to surprise her at dinner. What a funny lady. Tonight she taught me new swear words &asked ‘can you make me go global’ so please say hello to her and say where you’re from, she’ll ❤️it!
OMG. This has just cracked me up, my 85 year old Dad, (now internet sensation) was raging he had soup on his fleece in last week’s NHS celebration so he’s looked out his old Ceilidh band Tartan Jacket. 🤣🥰 With a skip cap!
Greetings from wet and windy Glencoe. How handsome is my new hiking buddy?!❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴Scotland in all weather and all seasons can always enthral! Feel very privileged to share a fleeting moment with this majestic creature. 🥰
This is my friend Lisa. She is a highly trained medical professional, devoted wife and brilliant mum. She is also an absolute RIOT on a night out. Please watch until the end. She is a legend! This has made my night……🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣say hello to Lisa 🤣

End of an era. Our 5 year plan lasted 6. Ewen and Cat on a Sunday will conclude on Sunday 7th November. It has been a hoot. THANK YOU! ❤️ We are still on air on breakfast Mon- Fri 6-10am across Scotland, cannae get rid of us that easily 🤣 We ❤️you !!🥰

My 86-year-old Dad has texted me to say he’s just had the longest and best fart of his life. I’m not quite sure what to do with this information! How is your weekend going?!🤷♀️🙈🤣
For the final time my friends I give you - THE SUNDAY BUFFET!! It’s been a blast. To all the crisps, biscuits, chocolate and sweetie makers out there we thank you🤣🤣Next week it’s porridge but for one last time….. I’m going in! 🥳❤️
What a beautiful send off to the Legend John Lambie. A service full of hilarious stories. The Thistle CD was background music as he left the church with Arthur Montford’s commentary to the famous 4-1 game his joyous send off. RIP Mr PTFC and thanks for the memories. 👏🏻
So sad to read this. Walter Smith was always one of the good guys. Kind, knowledgable with a wicked sense of humour. I interviewed him many times when he was at Rangers and Scotland and had nothing but respect and admiration for his love and passion for the game. Legend. 🏴
Producer Michael ( who is now very important ) has just said he thinks
@EwenDCameron
and I should do our show from Germany for the Euros if we qualify. Just putting it on here for when he sobers up 🤣🤣🏴🏴 this is a magnificent idea 🎉🍺🏴
Had a lovely wee day taking my Dad out a ‘run’. Lentil soup and cake at a Garden Centre then a whirl round The Campsies. Fair cheered us both up. 🥰 He’s my bubble so its allowed 🤣
My phone is going mental, not only is my Dad now an internet sensation he made the cut on the
@STVNews
montage about musicians supporting the NHS. He will sign any autograph requests but now wishes he didn’t have soup down his fleece and his baffies on in the clip 🤣
A few days ago I posted a video of my nieces singing. This morning Kirsteen woke up and this was on Tik Tok. She has no idea how it happened but it has made us laugh SO much. A wee bit of joy for you all…. And thank you Kermit 🤣🐸This is what social media is for 🤣🤣❤️❤️
‘I’m going to the Fringe for a night of culture. I shall watch lots of shows and go home early as I’m out again on Saturday. I won’t rip the arse out of it, because I am a grown up.’
Checks phone…. 4.45am photographic evidence proves quite frankly I’m NOT to be trusted! 🙈🙈
Football is more than a game. It’s friends, family &memories.
49 yrs ago Dad woke up on the Jags’ Manager’s floor cuddling the League Cup! Today he got his surprise - our brick!
Thanks
@GerryBritton
& Ian McCall for letting us in. His response: ‘ Magic! I’m no even deid yet’ 🤣
So here is my news- Jan 2021 we are back together!!!
2020 has been tough and I just want to laugh and have more fun so bring on the Ewen and Cat at Breakfast madness. THANK YOU to everyone who has been massively supportive so far. Let the good times roll....🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🤪

Ok
@rewindfestival
I’m coming to get you ! 🤣 Thanks to my pals John and Leanne
@HairGlasgow
for the amazing make over. I am officially a fire hazard. 🤣
My friend Michelle offered to take me for a belated birthday big pre-match breakfast. I assume ‘sausage hunners and hunners of square sausage.’ Michelle: ‘ I’ve found a really great new protein place.’ Jeezo!!!! 🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Proof that Partick is the Paris of Scotland- just bought a roll and square sausage from wee the cafe at the station. Served in a toasted brioche bun!!! Wtf?!?🤣🤣🤣Sensational 🎉🤤🤤🏴🇫🇷
One of the toughest days of my life saying goodbye to my crazy wonderful pal Denise , 35 yrs of friendship, football &laughs.Beautiful send off, &now out with her( my adopted) family in the pubs we went to aged 18 and beyond. Football is more than football - it’s family ❤️💛🖤💔
He’s at it again! In support of all the wonderful key workers and NHS staff who are doing such a grand job keeping him going, he’s looked out the Tartan waistcoat. In a defiant nod to the SPFL he also appears to be wearing his Santa is a Jags fan hat 🤣🤣 My favourite Bampot!
