Sounds like a Scotland I could relate to although I've no strong objections to the present one! :o)

Just what planet are these 'kippers on?

Or perhaps WHAT are they on?

I didn't Coburn (an arsehole) and UKIP were campaigning for the SNP, but I'd vote for that!

Also, those cards for cancer sufferers are absolutely fab.

I can relate to most of those (especially the first one) - though personally, I've always found #FuckCancer to be pretty cathartic.

Because seriously - fuck cancer.

Edited to add: Oh, and it's nice to see media outside Chicago notice One Summer.. it's a good program that, knowing how those things go, is probably going to face cuts in next year's budget.

Yeah, Julie really liked them too.

I hope they don't cut it. But I suspect you're right.
