Sturgeon doorstepped and explains what it's like at home at the moment. Awkward over the breakfast table maybe, discussing when the knock at the front door might be for her. Schadenfreude anyone, but maybe she can wriggle out of this one too? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13327887/Nicola-...

Many thanks for the kind wishes - a lazy day and a great (in both senses!) meal out in the evening. Large glass of Aussie red back at home later

Just don't muddy the discussion with facts or you'll be up before the 'beak'!

There is a lot of resentment against their governments that is bubbling just below the surface but will their concerns be addressed or glossed over? Showing th...

PHXPhlyer - yes, the 'Little Corporal' from Corsica had a rest on Elba before getting bored and setting off to conquer Europe again, at the start of the 'Hundred Days'.

You have control.

Opsboi - more famous person than 'our Gracie' in Capri!

No - very cold Rossian - though you might crash on Corsica on the way! Nelson got it on with Lady Hamilton to the south east of this place.

Getting warm. There's a connection to Corsica.

Spot on Fox3 - Redcliffe Wharf in Brizzle.
