Scottish Independence.

Personally (being parts Scots) I am really pleased that the country voted NO but I fear that Salmond will not be able to leave it alone. In his speech he said that "..for the moment, Scotland has voted to stay in the Union..."

I used to think he had integrity, I now just think he has watched Braveheart too many times........

few quotes from the coverage last night that you might have missed

"alex can suck my boaby"
Cameron

"sturgeon? ah wouldnay touch her wi yours"
salmond

the one bit i did like though was jeremy vine

Vote Yes! with the numpties who haven't got a scooby....

As ever the voice of reason, Dave.

One of your few posts that I read from start to finish.

As I am old I cannot risk sparing the time to read most of your Posts, as none of us know how much time we have left on this earth......

Good to catch a glimpse of you at the HRDs

Now Scotland all you can do is vote with us to get out of Europe, when and if we get the promised referendum, but I expect that would be rigged.

According to a Scot mate over here he was not allowed to vote as he is ex pat, is that true?

Yes true, you have to be residing in Scotland. So any English, Irish, or any other nationality who were living in Scotland would have had a vote. So not quite "Scotland decides"

Sweet, so a b o l l o x vote....

and you too

i thought a futile act of genuine immaturity was pertinet

esepcially as nobody took a blind bit of notice of my post about the Barnett formula

and its today's hot topic.

anyway scotland still owes us the current equivelent of £400,000 from the Darien disaster in 1700

we bailed em out then and they came cap in hand to join the union...
which lead to inheriting a share in a massive empire, and all the wealth that brings....
lets not forget that they would still be making everything from wood and mud were it not for the financial equivelent of a 2 bedroom house in the Hounslow twickenham boarders, "nice road bit too near the recycling site for my liking but not in the catchment area of any school any time soon".

i rest my case

on a small strappy table thing between the bathroom wall and the mini bar in my hotel room etc

I have often thought of buying Scotland, but on balance have decided that it would not fit in the Lounge.....

...that should get 'em going...............

All the way over here people are not laughing, I would not be ashamed at all.

Does that mean you will not be returning to Scotland now?
