Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery.
Good luck.

One of Scotlands big problem is alcholism,the scottish government is addessing this problem which was completely ignored by UK parliment. Obviously its not all rosy but I believe the scottish government ARE doing better.
OK, I can't say I really care about what happens to Scotland but my head is going to explode if I read another of your posts ... can you tell me - is there an actual method to the madness of your punctuation, or is there something random going on? I see spaces before commas, no spaces after periods, etc. Is this just another case of someone posting from a tablet or iPhone?

Those students didnt pinch it back ,it was stolen from Scotland in the 1st place and it was a replica that was returned to westminster abbey but dont tell anyone!

You can't see it from that angle, but it's watching Braveheart on TV.
