They've certainly done some classics recently....

Unison backing Neil Findlay:- http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-29862067 Murphy's not going to get it all his way...

Monday lunchtime...

This I do fear, mentioned earlier we have 1 win in around 12 competitive games against British Isles teams...

Hopefully both Celtic and Rangers league form will suffer in anticipation of this one...

The rubbish cover versions that play over the tannoy in B&Q. They must've lost a fortune off me by chasing me out the shop prematurely...

Great trip, me and the missus were working in Bratislava at the time. Drove our wee company Skoda across the Alps and back via Venice, Lake Garda and Salzburg. Happy memories

That seems to be more of a problem for the under 55s though...

Any of you cancelled your trips yet?

Lord Ashcroft's poll had 14% of SNP supporters voting No...

It'll be over by then... Native city of the current holder of the title I suppose...

I wouldn't want another referendum unless a Yes vote was an absolute shoo-in....

I stuck the figures in here:- http://www.scotlandvotes.com/holyrood SNP lose 6 seats but the Greens gain 8 so a comfortable pro-independence majority would remain (and in fact increase).

I find Dugdale a very annoying motormouth. It sounds like her interview technique is to recite all her answers at once, and at great speed. Repeating the process for every question...

The TAMB 10 minute post editing limit!

Canavan on the same programme getting ripped into the concept of Murphy's leadership. As was the first caller: her "macho Westminster rhetoric" quote gave me a giggle...

Just on Morning Call there saying she won't stand, but she hopes "Kez puts herself forward"

Roughly 45% of newspaper readers agree with political stance of the Sunday Herald. 55% agree with every other paper. That's a big chunk of the market to have cornered. Good business sense...

Top headline on ITN News there. They're finally realising what's been said on here for ages. Tom Bradby was even quoting Ally Bongo...

If you plug those poll figures into "Scotland Votes", Willie Bain is Scotland's only Labour MP! http://www.scotlandvotes.com/westminster

We looked good in the first half and should really have scored, just lacking that little bit extra quality to qualify (where have we heard that before?)...

Averaging over 80 on the A9 would redefine the term "hooring it"!

GORDON'S ALIVE!!!

Surprised to see UKIP only on 2% given the media exposure they get. They might have a big impact on the Unionist vote by splitting it 4 ways and reducing the impact of tactical voting against the SNP. If the SNP & Greens were to stand together the swing would be even greater...

Scotland Tonight will certainly be interesting this evening discussing this one. If it did happen it would be one of the most dramatic electoral swings in UK history. Come election time though I can't see the SNP making anything like these gains. Although I would say some of the Labour MPs it says would keep their seats (eg. Ian Davidson) could be struggling given Glasgow's move to Yes. Makes me wonder about how much consideration of local factors Electoral Calculus takes?...
