  1. The verdict on the #indyref Yes campaign launch we've all been waiting for. Over to you, Mr Kirk Elder of Peebles: bit.ly/KPXTrj
  2. Good news for old-fashioned crime reporting: former SoS reporter Amelia Hill won't be charged by the Met: bit.ly/MVHofs #journalism
  3. The idea that Extra Devo, whether More/Plus/Max or another variety, depends on a second question in the #indyref is facile.
  4. @lewismoonie Quartermile is the old Edinburgh Royal Infirmary site next to the Meadows.
  5. What planet is the Red Paper Collective on. Clause Four socialism? Nationalisation? Really? bit.ly/Kpcpqp #sp4
  6. New album by Sigor Ros swaps euphoria for sepulchral gloom. Bit of a downer.
  7. There's a new independent bookshop & cafe in #Edinburgh - @Lookingglassbks at Quartermile. Will check it out this week.
  8. Shopping for summer clothes: 3 bright shirts from H&M, same colours as last year, but a size bigger; 1 pair cargo shorts, 2 sizes bigger.
  9. The Chromatics: Kill For Love. The wall of sound, 2012 version. bit.ly/HXV2Hm
  10. BBC's Douglas Fraser is gently withering about the SNP's Independence Declaration. Esp like "one million turbines". Ouch! #natmaths #indyref
  11. @AndrewWilsonAJW Cheers! I hear ya too, but not sure I see the narrative. No doubt the wise Angus will explain.
  12. @EyeEdinburgh Thanks anyway!
  13. "..and beating them into submission through the strength of their convictions, the campaign has a problem." Nail on the head @burdzeyeview
  14. "When [Yes] ambassadors think the way to persuade people to vote yes is by talking to them in pejorative language...
  15. @EyeEdinburgh Funny as it may seem..
  16. @thoughtland Not 'weary passivity' - rather the wary caution of worried people in times of economic hardship and uncertainty.
  17. @sheenadevlin A little light tweeting perhaps.
  18. @thoughtland Fine for cultural/political swashbucklers like yersel Pat. But will just cause puzzlement and unease in Main Street Scotland.
  19. @thoughtland
  20. SNP's risky shift in #indyref strategy. Leader column from today's SoS: bit.ly/KkZeGW #sp4 #yesscotland
