Osbourne says no to currency union.

I thought this was quite good. 😀

The real question is Will Scotland be better off as an independent country
The answer is …

Video Guide to the Referendum

There was hardly any coverage on the BBC or Sky news at breakfast this morning but I’d expect round the clock coverage tonight

Rules don’t permit the media debating on election day until the polls close

I hope you are joking,

😆

Is this going to be covered all night like general elections are?

But with far far less on which to report?
yes but with no exit polls and the result expected at Breakfast time
The official person [ dont know the term] refused to say when she had her breakfast [ her weak joke not mine]

If they are thinking of using helicopters to get the boxes to the main count at Ingliston then the result might well be delayed. The weather is very poor ATM.
EDIT although I would’ve thought they would only use then for the more remote areas.

bookies are never wrong

I already disproved that one above.

(yes I am happy to argue either side of this debate depending who’s wrong)

That is some horrific abuse of Andy Murray, I won’t link to it in case Grum suggests I am a racist/just out to portray unionists in a bad light. 10 hours to save THM’s retirement plans,mind you, I bought a house as a fixer upper on Friday, maybe I should have waited….

Lots of complaints today, up here, from people feeling intimidated by gauntlets of Yes campaigners at the doors of polling stations. Don’t think it was anything other than vigorous campaigning, but clearly upset some folk.

In other Scottish news, Glenfiddich 12 is £10 off in Coop just now, so I’ve done my bit for Scotland this evening.

People abusing Andy Murray are **** idiots.

People claiming one side or the other has a monopoly on idiots are also idiots.

HTH.

Yup, **** on both sides. Bunch of fearty pussies on the no side 😛

Are you allowed to campaign on polling day in Scotland?

Saw Yes campaigners to day but no No ones, so I guess the answer is yes for yes, but no for No

That said at the Camanachd Cup Final the Yes people were at the gate handing out stuff and engaging with the public. No sign of No.
Onward and upward and in both Kirkwall and Stromness there were Yes shops with loads of posters and placards. No No stuff.
Back home and Yes are in the town centre and No are, well Nowhere

Not so much Better Together as Couldn’t Be Arsed

The gaffer was well up to speed on the rules and it seems, with certain restrictions, you can. (I’m not so don’t ask me what they are, I had much more interesting things to do today!)

There were people on both sides handing out leaflets at the entrances to the three polling stations I passed today, so probably yes

No exit polls though

I’m busy celebrating right now.

If all goes pear shaped tomorrow, at least I can say I celebrated the day when the people of Scotland could decide their country’s fate.

So tomorrow I will either have the perfect hangover cure, or have a suitable frame of mind for the result. 🙂

Going to stop bang on 10:00pm.

Which ever way it goes tomorrow I hope Scotland can come out of this a better place. I have learned a lot about the UK as a result of following the referendum and I actually have grown to like the place even more. The UK really is an awesome diverse place and I think it would be a shame to break it up. Scotland has contributed a lot to the UK over the years and I am not just talking about oil and whisky. Commiserations to all those whose vote does not get them the result that they expect.

Must admit, I’m shitting myself here!

Aye, good luck Scotland – whatever happens.

It’s like your team is in a cup final and you don’t want to watch. I am nervous also. Headed out to relax on the bike tonight. Did not see a soul at Glentress. Back trying to relax with a home brew.

I like your comments fnf.

Unfortunate.

You local?

Yes Peebles.

It’s like your team is in a cup fina

It’s like being on a team in the cup final, but sitting on the bench knowing you’ll get one kick then being taken off, but the team you’re playing against is the team you supported forever.
I’m in my 50’s and have always voted but never been so nervey as tonight.

I wasn’t even sure which way I was going to vote when I went to bed last night, so I don’t think I’m going to miffed whichever way it goes.

Nervous wreck here too. I am proud of all who took part in this referendum today on both sides.Now to try and sleep, alarm set for 2am 😛

Yes Peebles

*makes note for future reference*

Sometimes head down to catch up with a friend based there. Might give you a nudge if your up for a pootle round the forest on the bikes.

No problem piemonster. Enjoy your evening. Whatever happens there sure is a sense of excitement and anticipation.

my boss amused me today…

he’s decided not to vote, however 4 “friends” have “offered” to vote for him as there are no ID checks

he’s said no fortunately, wonder how much of this is going on?
