            | Maybe it's being saved for their f***ing bonuses. Or maybe to deport the ****s to Mars.

            | Maybe they are keeping it in reserve to pay for Holyrood. |

            | I read in the Edinburgh Evening News last night that they think the Executive are sitting on a surplus of £600M.  Supposed to be £200M from last year, £200M from this year and something about £200M project money or something like that. |

            | Aye - the dirty dozen. Is 12 to 1 the odds against this being believed? |

            | now, now lads! 
 The Scot. Exec. is merely waiting to invest the underspend in a project that gives them a 12:1 return.

            | It looks like the Scot exec will underspend their budget this year by £200 million. 
 Christ, we could stage the world cup wae that money. All those other things our £30 mill were to be spent on. Lies, lies and mair lies.....
