Mr Smith reads with admiration disclosures that in his student youth Government Minister Douglas Alexander MP was known as "wee Dug" and was the scourge of Edinburgh landlords with his campaigns to better student accomodation.
Mr Smith is even more amazed that "wee Dug" himself then went on to become a landlord by letting out his own £45,000 (1995 prices) Edinburgh flat to students and then had to be served, along with other owners in the building, with an enforcement notice last year by the City of Edinburgh Council to undertake some £500,000 worth of repairs to the building in which his flat sits because of water penetration.
Even more amazing are the disclosures that our Dug was a "hit with the chicks" during his student days. Well you know what they say about the quiet ones ....
