    Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.

    And I do believe Motherwell is the heart attack capital of the world. How I miss the old place. As Frankie Boyle also said "Glasgow. It's just like Paris. After a nuclear war."

    Thinking on, if Buckfast was re-classified as a tonic then the percentage would change - a lot.
    Thanks to all who read my little contributions and don't shout nasty words at me, it means so much and I like the likes. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for their tremendous support throughout my career and without whom I would not be standing here today. Also my agent, she's been my rock.

    Do be careful though as Hector and his clique may descend upon you with their stock in trade proclamations of your inherent inferiority. And as it's the internet, they get off on it.

    As can be clearly seen from the table at the bottom. The English and Welsh have laid off the booze as the recession bites, but the Jocks are going to drink their way through it.

    Good grief, people who live in Scotland drink more then southerners.

    Could this be due to waking up and going 'Oh no, I live in Scotland! Maybe if I drink enough then I'll forget, thank the Lord for Bucky, made in God's country down south.

    We do have the thriving whisky distillery sector to support!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up,

    As true today as in 1320.
