Take plenty of fresh air and exercise,Brian!
Rest well Brian - and please do dwell some on the pro-active 'Scotland first' comments from the union camp of late - especially Nicol Stephen and his entirely 'forward thinking' feeling towards the world's biggest marine renewable energy innovation prize, heralded by the SNP.
"Marine renewable technology needs sustained investment, not recycled gimmicks."

Take a sabbatical Brian-don't hurry back!
Will you be 'doing a Wark' and holidaying at wee Wendy's But'n'Ben?
Let's be honest, no one would be remotely surprised.
Have fun, at Alexander Towers!
It would be intersting to hear some comment fromWendy Alexander re this new tax scenario which is taking money from poorer members of society and giving it to the better off? Suddenly it has gone all quiet on the Wendy front, I wonder why? what a disaster.
For some of us who read your "blogs", this is the sort we like.
Aren't the Nat bloggers a load of wee nyaffs?
Brian, I wish you would hurry back! The Cyber-Nats seem, as ever, to be taking over your blog! ;)
Perhaps Gordon Brown needs a long break too. This may prevent him increasing the tax burden on the poor. Shame on Labour!
Best way for this to be arranged is to call an general election. Would he be elected, I doubt it!
Oh how far Labour have fallen.
As a nationalist with some "vigerous" viewpoints on many things, may I just add that I am also a democrat (unlike some (but not all) of the pro-union ask-the-voters-nothing camp), ad, one day, I hope, a parliamentarian.
Whilst sometimes Brian's bias is on show (although which way said bias leans is up for debate; sometimes it's very pro-union, sometimes he sounds like Wee Eck himself), this is without a doubt one of the best politics blogs I have ever read, and certainly the best Scottish politics blogs, period.
His witty comments, sly sarcasm and informed input is always a must-read, and often helps me form my own opinions. Also, he often uses wee latin phrases etc. that I barely remember, thus prompting me to go look them up and recall them.
Enjoy your break Brian, but dinnae tarry o'er long.
More Brian please, more! Like what the SNP are going to do about the National Conversation with regards Parliament, and how Labour are going to shrug off claims of hitting the poorest hardest, and what the Lib Dems are going to do about finding a leader that can find a policy, or maybe even two...
You never miss the water 'till the well runs dry. So it has been with Brian's blog. In fact its absence has demonstrated just what fantastic value the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ licence fee is. I for one would gladly pay five times as much.
Oh, and Brian is never, ever biased in favour of the Labour Party.
Seriously though, it will be good to have you back, warts and all.
