Na, got to be true, it's Alex Salmond we're talking about here.

UKC's was a bit of a let down this year. Not a patch on AJ's crag on Mars a few years ago.

Given the way the inextricably linked Plas y Brenin and Mountain Training are going I would not be surprised if it had been seriously discussed...

The Independent has a nice one about David Moyes and Alex Ferguson. I'd post the link but the URL is too long.

At least, I think it's an April Fools joke.

Sometimes hard to tell, given the amount of nonsense that's been spoken on the Independence issue. Here's what Andy Burnham, the shadow Health Secretary, had to say last month:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scotland/scottish-politics/10648238/...
"Mr Burnham told Holyrood Magazine: “I would feel really genuinely sad if Scotland votes for independence, not just for our own self-interest and in the extra difficulty we would face getting a Labour government in England but I also don’t want to drive up the M6 and get my passport out or have to drive on the right when I want to drive on the left.”

Surely even this govt wouldn't hand pick some investors to whom it would sell national assets at a hugely discounted rate!

So good I almost believed it - great idea of the interchanges at the border.

Funny, but beat this one :-
"Scottish Tory chairman (Richard Keen) predicts Holyrood power within a decade
Richard Keen claims the Conservatives can be the main beneficiaries from a collapse in support for the SNP in the wake of 'no' vote in the independence referendum"

The snag with that Hew , (were it true) is the wolves could have eaten the ears
