Cheers.


Mr Smith reads that "Thirsty MSPs, parliamentary staff and journalists were left disappointed after officials forgot to renew Holyrood's drinks licence. The Scottish Parliament bar - dubbed the White Heather Club by staff - opened up as normal yesterday and by mid-afternoon was doing its usual brisk trade. But drinkers were then told they had to finish their beverages quickly after it emerged that the bar's licence to sell alcohol had run out two days ago."

What can Mr Smith say. That old adage about not being able to organise a "p*ss up in a brewery" springs to mind ... even more so given that the Scottish Parliament is itself built on the site of an old brewery going back hundreds of years.

Sad but true. You really couldn't make this sort of stuff up ... welcome to the "best wee country in the world."
