Epilogue...

4 days of hell are almost over and I am about to shift base to the University Library, after a sojourn through the dark ages here are a few essential tips on how to survive if ya ever get fucked over by a Scottish Land Lady.

1. Never come to Scotland... all that beauty… whiskey and bagpipes are just a cover up for the scams that lay hidden below …
2. Stock yourself with cigarettes, if you don’t smoke you have no idea what you are missing out on... this is a good time to start... it keeps you warm
3. Valiums... yea... those beautiful pills… get hold of 'em… stock ‘em store 'em… shall help you turn long lonely nights spent in the cold to peaceful dreams
4. Orange juice... drink lots of it ( don’t ask me why.. but I am off alcohol.. any other weekend I would have advised on getting drunk.. but for someone who is trying to quit, orange juice seemed the only plausible alternative)
5. Stop using hot water for showers… there is no greater pleasure than taking a bath in freezing water…
6. Keep your I- pod at hand... if ya don’t have one... get loads of batteries for your Discman… Walkman. Etc…
7. And most importantly... be filthy fuckin rich… rich enough to buy your self a place anywhere you go… which would entail that you would never have to depend on those conniving bitches
