Despite coming from opposite ends of the M8 up there in that strange realm of the Picts, and burdened as they are with all the associations which traditionally attach to Edinburghers and Glaswegians, Alan Francis and Neil McFarlane are actually quite like-minded fellows.

They've been coping with that-there London-life for the best part of three decades...between them, that is.

Here's how the show's going to go: McFarlane will spoff on for about 25 minutes about what he hasn't been getting up to and maybe throw a few new bits at his unwilling and discomfited victims... er, audience; and then introduce Francis, who'll do much the same for a wee bit longer (in order to justify his slightly larger share of the door-split).

And then we can all go home and forget this dreadful business ever happened.

Look forward to seeing you, Bathchums!
