    She's a good socialist and at the end of the day that's pretty much all that matters to me... I see her as quite the opposite to the hall of shame names you mention, all of which I despise.

    She seems to me to have an almost psychotic obsession with independence for Scotland, regardless of what the Scottish people want. Seems to me she would have a referendum every six months until the Scottish people vote the way she wants them to.

    Sadly, I can't really share this one with you cozz even though I am from Grimsby, I hate fish. I do though adore curry type dishes so love the Sainsbury's ready meals especially the curry ones as they are really nice and thick and gloopy whereas the competition tend to be thin and watery. Could be of course that the Sainsbury ones are just more fattening and have a high oil content but after quite a few beers I couldn't bloody care less.

    I would like to see Scottish independence but don't regard it as anywhere near as important as achieving a redistribution of wealth under true socialism.

    Noted, Jez, but as a good Socialist, you are proudly internationalist in viewpoint. Why doesn't her brand of backward-looking, nostalgia-driven, "let's curl-up with ourselves" nationalism offend you? If it were an English politician we would call them a "little Englander" (and I would agree with you). Why not "little Scotlander"?

    Yes, but why not make your own curry? The (considerable) advantages are:

    1) You know exactly what's gone into it.
    2) Over time it's considerably cheaper than ready meals.
    3) It's considerably healthier.
    4) It's MASSIVELY tastier and more authentic!!!



    Doing otherwise is simply pure laziness and/or you're devoting too much time to other things, which ultimately matters MUCH LESS than eating well and healthily!
