The bonniest lass that ye meet neist
Gie her a kiss an’ a’ that
In spite o’ ilka parish priest
Repentin’ stool an’ a’ that
For a’ that an’ a’ that
Their mim-mou’d sangs an’ a’ that
In time and place convenient
They’ll do’t themselves for a’ that.

Home secretary Jacqui Smith embarrassed by new expenses row.
“Asked if she should resign Davis said: “I don’t call for people to go unless I think there is absolutely a smoking gun.”
29th March, 2009
The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, apologised today for an expenses claim which included adult films watched by her husband.
Smith said she mistakenly submitted an expenses claim which included five pay-per-view films, including two adult movies which were viewed at her family home in her Redditch constituency.
The £67 Virgin Media bill was submitted last June as part of Smith’s expenses. It included two 18-rated features, each costing £5, which were viewed on 1 April and 6 April last year. The bill also included two viewings of the film Ocean’s 13 ‑ at £3.75 each ‑ and an additional £3.50 to watch the film Surf’s Up.
