Recount - It's a Curran Problem
Apparently the recount is a Curran problem as their are two hopeless lefties with the surname. I know what it's like to a have a problem with Curran's as I have a Curran as my wife but she is definitely not a leftie!
SNP have apparently a 350-400 majority according to sources.

SNP are already celebrating in Glasgow East
Just seen John Mason celebrating with his supporters on the BBC. Labour out to 20-1 on Betfair. "Gnasher" Sturgeon having fun laughing at Danny Alexander.
Might the SNP kill off Brown?
Staying up to watch the hopeful demise of Labour in Glasgow East. Turnout is high at 42.245%.
Whatever happens Gordon Brown's Scottish Labour will have had a very bloody nose.
Reports are that the Tories may even get up to third which will be a good result.

Key Government websites have been infected by a virus that allows cyber-criminals to steal browsers' personal details, it was reported today. More than a thousand Government and consumer sites are said to have been hit, including some run by the NHS and a local council.The Times article is here.
The Times Online says the hackers are Eastern European and that security experts estimate at least two million coputers worldwide have been affected.
It reports that the Asprox virus is unlink other viruses; it sits undetected on mainstream sites and automatically installs itself on a user's computer potentially allowing the hackers to have access to financial information. Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks, said Asprox "appears to be trying to build up the size of the botnet, infecting people through web pages by adding an IFRAME.” According to securecomputing.net, the attacks occur on websites that are running Microsoft SQL-SVR (Server) that already have some sort of vulnerability.
