Totally agree - 80%+ turnout is great.

To our Scottish friends, some of you are disappointed, some of you relieved and some of you might be wondering what would have been best. Part of me wanted you all to have independance to show the world what a great nation you are and I hated the bullying tactics of the UK government during the campaign. But the selfish part of me wanted you to still be my brothers and sisters because I am an only child and I found you to be the most lovely people :) But regardless of the result which I would have been happy for you either way, I hope you will all benefit from the saga in getting more attention from the Government. So even if you voted Yes, that vote would not have counted for nothing, quite the contrary, 44% is considerable and I hope you will all be heard.

Looking forward to meeting many of you in March!

Can't we get likes on this thing? Because I would 'like' the hell out of MrG's posts.

After a ten year journey Philae has landed successfully on the rubber duck (comet 67P). A first for humankind and achieved by the European Space Agency. Its a highly significant achievement and to be honest I didnt give them high odds on success because so many obstacles were in the way and even ESA themselves said it would be a bonus having already achieved syncing orbit with the comet. But man they did it and that means crucial science to come from it with more answers to getting closer to knowing the origins of our Earth formation and existence.

Dreadful news in Glasgow this afternoon where a bin lorry seems to have gone out of control in the city centre and killed at least 6 pedestrians. The cause is not yet known.
