Given the climate, one with full-length mudguards.

For those who missed it, last night the new BBC scotland2014 show asked "if Scotland was a car, what would it be?'

"For those who missed it"
Sadly, you wouldn't be sad. I hope it's 'early days'.
The backdrop is a garish distraction. The first story was a hard-hitting investigation into G4S - they won't be able to do that every day. The interview with Danny Alexander wasn't particularly illuminating. The final bit was a discussion about 'today on social media' - not clear if that will be daily.

A mid range racer, stuck in the back of a shed rusting and ignored...

One that an absent parent point blank refuses to take the stabilisers off of, or replace the broken components on. Occasionally they oil the chain when it's protesting squeak gets too loud, but they accidentally-on-purpose get a bit of oil on the brake rims in doing so.
And no, you can't have a bigger bike. Danny Alexander says so.

A basic hybrid, roughly converted to a tag-along.
@SRD What did Gil Scott Heron say again? We got sixty channels of television that would make a moron weep?

Aye, Scotland 2014 was a bit pants. So much so it made me miss Newsnicht: some feat that.
Hopefully it will get better, it could hardly get worse. Or could it?

Scotland: a small country currently part of a bigger nation, with aspirations to detach. Political aspirations to be fine and upstanding, against a too-comfortable partner.
If Scotland was a bike, it would have to be the rear half of an S&S coupled Hase Pino.

So do we get Newsnight half an hour later now or do we just get the second half of Newsnight?
Luckily I can watch Newsnight in iPlayer if I need to.

This. A better arrangement than the often cack-handed 'switcheroo', to be sure. Scotland 2014 needs to buck its ideas up though.

<grin>
Although I'm uncertain if the rear half can stand on its own two feet...
Oh, I see!

Well, based on last night, I might be connecting the iPad to the TV every evening and just watch Newsnight.
I sort of liked Gordon Brewer.
