Sadly we are fresh out of Red Leicester, Tilsit, Caerphilly, Bel Paese, Red Windsor, Stilton, Gruyere, Emmental, Norwegian Jarlsberger, Liptauer, Lancashire, White Stilton, Danish Blue, Double Gloucester, Cheshire, Dorset Blue Vinney, Brie, Rocquefort, Pont-l'Eveque, Port-Salut, Savoyard, Saint-Paulin, Carre de l'Est, Boursin, Bresse-Bleue, and Perle de Champagne.
We did have some Camembert, but it was very runny and the cat ate it.
We also have no Gouda, Edam, Caithness, Smoked Austrian, Sage Derby, Wensleydale, Gorgonzola, Parmesan, Mozzarella, Pippo Creme, Danish Fimboe, Czechoslovakian Sheep's Milk Cheese, Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, Cheddar, Ilchester or even Limburger.
We do, however, have this interesting contribution from an ex-SNP councillor.
"As the Brie hits the ventilation system I must confess my own very minor involvement in the whole debacle.
Back in the day when the SNP were more concerned with believing in the cause rather than absolute unquestioning devotion to the latest Blackberry instruction of the day, I was contacted by Mike Russell to get involved in a pro-SNP blogging ring.
I was to be part of the 'group' as an 'influential' (sic) blogger and I was to be contacted again as part of the blogging network he was setting up.
Perhaps I was not pliant enough, but I never heard from Mike again.
All of which explains why I blog in my own name and not under a nom de
[irony on]
Makes "Weasel" Russell's statements that he had no knowledge of and no involvement in a certain political blog all the more convincing, doesn't it?

Best xmas present you ever had from the snp?
Why have I never heard of Caithness cheese (as opposed to Caithness Cheese which was founded 25 years after that sketch?
Maybe Observer could get a second job there to pay for that bet.
Good point, Alec.
I can confirm that the "Caithness" is direct from my copy of the Python scripts.
As is the misspelling of Limburger, which I shall go correct now.
Maybe they were thinking of Orkney cheese.
Oi, Observer!
Gentlemen - I remain confident.
Smee that wee link doesn't tell us much.
MR may have been keen on blogging for the SNP; what remains to be proved is that he condoned smearing for the SNP.
I await further developments....
You really have no idea, Observer.
You did not specify a court of law, or even before a beak... MacLachlan has taken on the services of solicitors, so by the childish logic and levels of proof you demand of others, you have lost.
Pay up now.
Add to that still nado on the actual topic - the scabrous nature of MacLachlan's blog, a Cabinet minister pretty much turning out to have known what he claimed not to have, and Pringle being involved with local constituency matters.
You are not to be trusted.
Pay up and then apologize to everyone you ever have sneered at.
''I'll bet you a month's salary it doesn't get to court. I think Mr McLachlan needs some form of closure and I hope he gets it, and gets his life back on track.''
Erm yes I did specify court.
So stop talking shite Alec.
You're rattled, Observer. You did not specify a court *of* *law*. Just how dim are you? D'you think MacLachlan has approached a janitor or a solicitor?
>> I await further developments....
You'd be funny were you not so pathetic. I can imagine you as a marooned Japanese solider somewhere in Micronesia, c. 1970, unaware of what took place in August 1945. You have only a skeleton in a jumpsuit for company, and are awaiting further developments.
Pay up, and then fun along and play. The grown-ups are here, and we want our nation back from the freeloaders and race-baiters and student politics wankers.
PS Still nothing to say about the actual story, I see. Is that 'cos you're an idiot?
Steady on, old boy.
I prefer to leave the "idiots and/or liars" labels for elected Nat politicians.
Please stop trying to be funny. It's like the time Homer tried to rap.
There's interest on this bet, you know.
Hugs, Smeegle!
I thought you were Obby!
Alec you have to stop being so nasty.
I'd be quite happy to discuss the events so far they are quite intriguing but you need to sit in the naughty corner until you have calmed down.
And BTW court means court that's why I said court.
If I meant a tribunal I would have said tribunal.
Although I guess it won't even end up there. McLachlan has got hold of a v good lawyer.
>> Alec you have to stop being so nasty.
You really need to get out more if you think this is abuse. You're consistently passive aggressive, and then demand levels of respect you never show yourself when someone doesn't roll-over.
>> I'd be quite happy to discuss the events so far they are quite intriguing
And I'm the Queen of Sheba. You're immediate response, on another thread, was to issue a veiled threat against Smeegle for calling Russell a liar. I note, as with so much of your input, you have not responded to the fairly obvious point that Smeegle is neither a paid employee of nor an elected politician and member of the Cabinet.
You have, at no point, actually discussed the matter.
That's why I feel confident in calling you a cheat.
>> but you need to sit in the naughty corner until you have calmed down.
You cannot tell me or anyone what to do.
>> If I meant a tribunal I would have said tribunal.
And if you had meant physically present in a court of law, you should have said so.
>> Although I guess it won't even end up there. McLachlan has got hold of a v good lawyer.
You didn't think that one through very carefully, did you?
Another Christmas alone Alec?
Merry christmas smee, all the bets to you & yours!
The Union, bah Humbug!
Haven't placed any "bets", but thanks.
The next chapter in the saga is now in the Sunday Herald.
I'm not quite sure where Labour are going here, their special advisers have in the past functioned in exactly the same way as Mr Pringle does. They really do seem to be personifying the don't do as I do do what I say mindset.
However, the whole thing is still nowhere near a court, so I am not anticipating having to secure a second job any time soon.
