I don’t think it’s racist to admit that I didn’t realise until last week that fundamentalist Muslim cleric Abu Qatada and fundamentalist Muslim cleric Abu Hamza were different people.

Over dinner, the conversation turned to the weather and how dark and cold it’s getting these days. Donald asked, “Why would anyone live in Scotland?”, and we were all silently stumped for an answer. Then Craig and I went to see the new James Bond film (which I felt was a fun, solid, good, and modern advancement of the stories). Part of the story takes place in Scotland, and as soon as they showed a sweeping location shot in Glencoe, I thought to myself “That’s why we live in Scotland.”
