Lee, have you read the Ariel Gore story about pain (and mostly lack thereof) in, I think, the second to last one? (I'm confused because I received two at once the other day; they were a week apart so the first one was late).
Anyway, it focuses on a couple in Scotland with character attributes I'm sure you'll appreciate.
