Previously, the roughest pub I'd worked in was a place on Balfour Street. Other than that, it was family pubs in Corstorphine or St Andrews. This place was the drinking hole for all the radges that were barred from everywhere else. In Govanhill. It was certainly an experience.

Burnett is a good MSP but Bowie and Ross have been ****ing over the locals so I dont know how much that will affect things. Mutch took a big chunk out of Bowie and is very well liked around here. 800 majority for Burnett i think. It will be close Id think but Id imagine they will hold here but with a reduced majority.

Maybe Nicola wants Independence with a big majority to avoid years of division. The great thing about the votes to create a Scottish Parliament were they were decisive. The problem is they wont get a substanial majority no matter when it is planned for. She needs to name a date soon. Lets get this over and done with whichever way it goes.
