I managed to avoid the coverage on this based on my guess that I’d have to put up with Alex Salmond being a smug git on the television and radio coverage. Unfortunately the mere mention of the result brought those images and sounds to my mind immediately.

I vote Labour in elections, largely because my local MP is Dennis Skinner, who’s not only Old Labour (as distinct from New Labour), but actually some use in resolving local issues. However, I would much prefer the Liberal Democrats to run the UK, or indeed anyone other than Conservatives (the conservatives who know who they are) New Labour (the conservatives who don’t know who they are) or BNP (who I regard as borderline illegal in their phobia of anything that doesn’t fit their stereotypes).

I genuinely couldn’t care less who won the thing last night, but was gutted this morning when I saw Mr Smug on the news which only confirmed that the SNP had triumphed.

Good luck to them, if they really are the best party for the job, but please, please get rid of Salmond as I feel a deep urge to punch him whenever his face appears onscreen – and I’ve just got a new telly which I don’t really want to break any time soon.

And if any London-types are calling this “Gordon Brown’s backyard” when I wake up in the morning, I am going to kick a brick wall.

Hope you werent listening to Radio Scotland at about 07.30 this morning then. The backyard thing pisses me off too. Glasow as Fife backyard??? yuh huh.

Also, the word back yard is a bit American to me. I don’t have a back yard, I have a back garden.
