"Won't you do what I ask, love? I know him, poor lad. I know what's best.

Why should Scotland be stopped from suggesting to the English people that we join a new union under new terms? Let's not try to dominate one another.

Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers, they're the ones who stand by the punch bowl.
