Plots Thicken
Me again - Indypal One.
You will be glad to know that Indygal is settling in well to her new home in Sri Lanka. Her only complaint is the howling dogs and baying monkeys (or it could have been the other way around) keeping her awake at night. But she used to live in Dennistoun so she ought to be used to that. No encounters with spiders yet..
Anyway, she seems quite happy. Just wait till she reads that I intend to reveal her true age on this blog ...
Nah, only kidding. Your secret is safe with me Indygal.
If you haven't seen the Scotsman today, Bill Jamieson has an interesting piece suggesting that Nick Kuenssberg, Sepa's part-time deputy chairman, donated to Wendy Alexander's leadership campaign. This all relates to the Aviemore planning palaver. According to one source Kuessenberg 'blew his stack' when Richard Lochhead tried to intervene with sepa to speed things along a bit. It is all very complicated so read the article for the fine details but it seems that there may be political skullduggery afoot.
The most amazing thing for me is that the plans to redevelop the Aviemore resort have now been in the pipeline for 11 years! A bit much I am sure you will agree. Hardly surprising that the FM decided to get on the blower about it.
Ah, I have slipped into the habit of referring to the First Minister as the FM ... I don't really like it because it makes him sound like a radio station. Alex Salmond FM. Scotland's answer to Terry Wogan.
