Eadie donates brain

Helen Eadie has donated her brain to medical science - I always knew this woman had leadership potential, and we'll have no unthinking jibes from the gallery, thank you. What my very favourite Fife Labour MSP has done is make sure that she continues to be of use when she is pining for the fjords, when she is bleedin' demised, passed on, is no more, has ceased to be, has expired and gone to meet 'er maker, is a stiff, bereft of life, rests in peace, pushing up the daisies, when her metabolic processes are history, when she's off the twig, kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible (apologies to Mr Palin and Mr Cleese). Helen Eadie has signed up to the Parkinson's Brain Bank to help research into the disease after she has passed on. Plaudits, plaudits. She led the way and has been joined by the serried ranks of her followers. Wherever she leads, many follow! It's an excellent cause and they should be congratulated for their thoughtfulness. I, of course, intend to live forever
