Hmmm, seems like the SNP have their work cut out 1 2 **EDIT** Any one who has spent any time in Glasgow & then elsewhere in Europe can see quickly that this is the case and should not be surprised by it. #2 shows the example of people I referred to in a previous entry about looking at things through thistle tinted glasses and blaming our problems on others (i.e England) This seems a good time to post a song by ...
Okey. What have I to say? Not much. I’m in ASDAN with no one to talk to. Hence the time to blog.

However, even Paris (or, ...
It's easy to understand why foreign speakers would have trouble writing English: a language that's often frustratingly confusing even for native speakers. The typos of our daily existence (and I've been known to set new precedents for such mistakes) are also easily understood. Dyslexia? I think that this disease is overplayed and is often used to excuse more basic problems. The fact that Lit.com isn't graded is also an understood fact. However, does ...
