I am going to bed in shame.

I went to University in Dundee.

It holds many great memories for me, but I am not such a romantic as to remember it as not being a shithole, because it is.

A shithole where I had a lot of good times and met a lot of good people, but none the less the arse end of craptown.

"For the fewer wars we start in error
The less chance we have of becoming the victims of fundamentalist Islamic terror"
