Fuck all good news, so here's some opinion. Unionists will dismiss the polling company, but me - an ex-cybernet - dismisses the NI fudge. I'd rather see control of a referendum tied to an election result or Scottish MPs get a vote with which rUK MPs don't get to overturn. It is interesting that Kezia even comes round to these ideas though, I do wonder given another 5 years where she will be

The undercurrent for independance is less 'freeeeeedom' and more that westminster is a sinking ship with a series of captains that keep shooting fucking holes in the boat. Scotland would definetaly suffer under independance but the idea is it would suffer less than it will under England in the long run.

It gets a wee bit cold but the last couple have been more wet than anything!

That I can handle, where I'm from it rained so often I had hair on my chin before I was ever dry.

We have a fantastic word in Scots for the weather we get more often than not in the non summer months (roughly 51 weeks of the year): Dreich. It’s when it’s grey, wee bit wet, bit cold. Not terrible just….meh.
