Conservative leader Ruth Davidson says being knocked back from buying a beer at Bruce Springsteen's Glasgow gig has 'made her week'.
The Glasgow MSP was unable to buy a beer for her colleague David Mundell at the show at Hampden Park yesterday because she did not have ID with her.
She tweeted: "Brilliantly, I got kb'd for not having ID trying to buy Mundell a beer at the Springsteen gig. He's 51. I'm clearly #34goingon17 #underage."
The tweet quickly received a lot of responses from some of Scotland's top politicians, actors and writers.
Colin McCredie tweeted: "New SNP policy!! '@RuthDavidsonMSP: Brilliantly, I got kb'd for not having ID trying to buy Mundell a beer at the Springsteen gig'."
Jim Murphy MP tweeted: "@RuthDavidsonMSP Don't worry in the referendum it's votes at 16 so you should be OK."
Ian Rankin tweeted: "(That's the excuse they gave her anyway...) (Sorry, Ruth!)
Springsteen played a three and a half hour set at Hampden.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
