		<title>Informal, qualitative survey on unimportant matters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I think I&#8217;m the non-cheese-moving type. Other times I think I&#8217;m all about moving the cheese.

		<title>Alcohol problem? What alcohol *hic* problem?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The comments on this article (Drink Nation: Scotland&#8217;s alcohol abuse costs £2.25bn a year) read like some people don&#8217;t venture out of doors any time after 7pm (or noon, if your village is particularly dire):
The drunken scot is just another tartan myth.
I am sick fed up of hearing that we have an alcohol &#8220;epidemic&#8221; in [...]]]></description>

		<title>One year on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t exactly rocket science to predict that the SNP would have trouble getting their campaign promises through Parliament after they creeped into power as a minority government. One year on, Labour is accusing them of &#8216;dumping&#8217; their promises:
But Scottish Labour leader Wendy Alexander said style rather than substance had been the mark of the [...]]]></description>
