I've also just realised that staying up til two in the morning watching footage of people moving boxes around Scottish sheds seems a bit exhausting.

I'm waiting for the moment when Derek agrees that Gordon Brown should be given a medal.

Now then, away from such blind alleys. What say you all to this referendum thing. I think they should have spent more on fireworks and lighting.

I remember singing of him fondly on the terraces of Celtic Park.

It's a bottle-size circle for the bottle I am drinking from. I would like to have had a large bottle-circle top left, and a small tumbler-circle bottom right, but that would have required more time than I want to spend reading through postscript code right now!

Are you drinking from… a tumbler?? Shameful. See the review thread.

Am I meant to answer that? Probably not. But I shall anyway. One radius per page. Multiple radii on a single page would need a substantial rewrite of several thousands of lines. I strongly advise against.

I might have nodded off just after Glasgow failed to gain the lead. A splendid result.

Wel done everyone. An impressive result. As evidenced by the noise of whining gNats.

Despite the absence of exit polls, history will need to know what caused the outcome. Which of the six possible causes was it? 13.46? 26.103? G10.5 (please not)? 9.89? 29.157? 50.55?

Well 29.157 was always going to vote No. I think it was more of a surprise that Yes failed to capitalise on 13.46 and 26.103. In the end though I have to give it 9.89, closely (and jointly) followed by the Highlanders. G10.5 spoiled his vote.
