closedMore honest of the Sunday herald to say that it is supporting Yes. Previously pretending to be impartial. Clearly, saying you are supporting yes and saying you will still be impartial contains a contradiction. You cannot be impartial if you support one side.
Alasdair Gray, what a boy. As I have bored on tis before, I will again. When I was barman in The Doublet, used to serve Jim Kelman first. Decent guy, also able to hold his liquor. He would sometimes get Alasdair and the mighty Tom Leonard to drink with him. The latter two were not able to hold their drink, nor were they quiet drunks.
My better half good friends from uni with freelance journo who was sent from the Smoke to interview Alasdair by Torygraph. She, the journo, quite pukka so she was worried. I said take him a nice bottle of wine and he will be as putty in your hands. Indeed, it turned out well, tho when al's wife caught him imbibing it turned a bit dicey. I also gave the journo a little pamphlet by the saltire society on old Al. Most of that appeared in the article. Talented man but seems stuck somewhere in 1979 looking for the way back to the bar?
