True. If your drugs only cost £5 then you probably got ripped off.

£4.3bn spent on prostitution at about £100 per hour is circa 43 million hours, or about 20 million standard appointments. 1 per adult male in the UK, or about once a month for 10% of the adult male population.

Realistically, a night of doing cocaine with your friends is cheaper than a night of doing beers and shots or going to a cocktail bar all night.

At this rate I can see the SNP going in to the 2016 general election on a platform of competent government and a second referendum.

It is going to be pretty exciting to see what comes out of it. If they come up with nothing (which is looking more likely as time goes on) it's going to get pretty ugly.

The Tories are already at the lower bound of possible seats in Scotland but I have to wonder if they a) care about the Union and b) aren’t worried what a Labour minority government depend for confidence and supply on a couple of dozen SNP MP’s is going to do.

Labour have a more obvious interest in delivering enough to stave off an SNP 2015 & 2016 election win and #IndyRef2 - Now It’s Personal.

[andrewducker]

Give me a week or two to get through the single-player campaign and I'm definitely up for that!

It's just a tower defense game, but with really great, incredibly polished gameplay.
