    Scarier than you, eh Ewan? I’ve yet to spend my days in the press area wearing a kilt all the time… Ha-ha.

    Seriously, whether modern or not, Nadine Beilers’ power ballad is very good. Not usually so keen on that genre but this song gives me goosebumps.

    Part of me is glad The Polly Dusters didn’t get through the Swiss NF or the kilt would have labelled me Swiss. Still it might have kept me in Toblerone when everyone else is drowning in Ludwig Schokolade.
