Hello there. For 15 years the comforting sweep of Heather "The Weather" Reid's arm over the map of Scotland brought news of what the skies had in store for the day ahead. When she left, Reporting Scotland marked the occasion with all the solemnity and imagination a TV producer can summon, ie a montage of clips set to Crowded House's "Take The Weather" . Thankfully at the time Randan Discotheque's Craig Coulthard was questioning his decision not to follow migrated friends to London and stick with Edinburgh. In Heather he saw "a certain homeliness and familiarity, a humble attraction " [...]
Arrrghh! Couldn't... resist... today's... band... because... of... vague... punning... It's a sorry state of affairs. I'll apologise right now. But why even try to put up any defence any more?

Welcome to the exceptional and improbable world of Godzilla Black . It's sometimes hard to divine fact from fiction with regards to Godzilla Black, such is the incorporeal nature of its existence. One cannot even be sure how many members comprise its hive mind at any one time.
