Did you know that you and your alter ego Richard Wilson were Scottish, Vic? (And also your "lookalike" Alastair Sim?) Another hubcap in the marigolds for you, eh?

Mind you, Scots are often awkward whinging bar stewards, that's for sure. The only reason we ever have to put up with dreadful Labour governments is because of them (and their disproportionately large number of constituencies). Otherwise we'd have it alternating between the Tories and the Lib Dems, which is much more palatable. Independence for Scotland, I'm right behind it. And I say that as someone who's half Scottish...not something of which I'm prood.

The people who move up to Scotland tend to be difficult as well...Peter Clinch and Simon Brooke are two examples. The legendary Paul Smith was the exception that proves the rule.

The Status Quo? Aye carumba!

Do you actually think the URCM moderators are doing a good job, or is it just a case of "It's OK to unfairly reject people's posts as long as they're people I disagree with"?
