    So, it’s time for a wee bit of introspection for the blatantly offensive people. Have a look and sort it out. Just ’cause you are being dicks doesn’t mean that I now am going to be annoyed at the 6 English people that I work with.

    Not to worry, next week the dicks will be hating whoever the Mail tells them to.

    FFS its a No because drawing imaginary lines on a little Island is about as sensible as believing in fairies in the sky who write books.

    ..because there’s no such thing as internatational borders anywhere else in the world, right?

    It might have been about the campaigns. Yes was about passion and a belief that things can be better. No was about focus groups, meetings and inclusiveness, so by the time a decision’s been made, the marketing people briefed and … oh is that it all over already?

    Perhaps, just maybe, it’s not actually about the English?

    No that can’t be right. Something in the world that’s not about the English? Go read another Daily Mail and get yur head sorted

    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.

    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

    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

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

    I reckon they have about a

    That’s right molly. YOU reckon… YOU think… YOU don’t know anything, you just have an opinion on something you don’t really know anything about. Read this thread, long on opinion, short on fact. Plenty of uniformed opinion like yours telling us things will be bad in an independant Scotland because, well, no reason really, just because YOU think so. Just as well your opinion doesn’t count then, eh?

    Scotland would need an actual leader to defend itself when they buy up B.P. along with the refinery/tech companies/etc and bleed the profits away out of their economy.

    The way the strong English leadership has defended the UK car industry so that the profits from automotive manufacuring don’t get….?

    Anyway, there are more important things to discuss, ton, stop fannying about with this nonsense, get yourself up here and enjoy yourself – the weather’s looking fine just now.

    if aberdeen and the oil industry wasnt there (it actually wasnt the first choice, think it was hartlepool? – please correct me not 100% sure) this wouldnt be happen

    By the way….seeing as cameron is getting such a shoeing from all and sundry, I think a little balance is called for. Him and his mate George have between them dragged us out of the mire left by Brown and his boys and put us firmly on a path of recovery. That despite the two Ed’s continually dismissing the methods involved and saying it would never work. Apart from the fact that he’s a toff and made difficult decisions others wouldn’t, I don’t see what the problem is.

    Yeah, without austerity who knows where we’d be? We could have record numbers of people in work reduced to using foodbanks to feed their families, wages falling in real terms as inflation outstrips wages, a growing deficit and a country so hacked off that they might be packing their bags and leaving.

    That is a fair bit of twisting there

    Not as much as all that twisting of union flag patterned knickers that’s going on. On this page alone

    I feel sick to pit of my stomach at the thought of a Yes vote next week. I really cannot believe the amount of risk people are prepared to take on.

    So, if you vote Yes you can look forward to a divided country, torn apart by an irreconcilable rift between those who wanted to leave, and those who wanted to stay, for the next hundred plus years?

    Dearie me I can feel the angst from up here

    Ok, who thinks we can hit 400 pages before the vote?

    If thm can keep up the high standard of his delusional fantasies I’d say 400 pages is doable. However, if his carer gets his medication sorted out, that standard might drop to his usual swivel eyed dribbling.

    That’s pretty mean.

    Why not just let the English refugees cross the border to Scotland unshot?

    They’d be welcome

    This is all wrong. Why isn’t the overwhelming media bias working out better for the No campaign?

    Go on then, tell me the difference between

    A contract
    A binding contract
    A legally binding contract

    A contract is statement which may or may not have legal significance, like an offer to give someone a free jumper for answering questions – you’ve said you will, I bet you don’t, and if you don’t do you think I can pursue you through the courts?
    A binding contract is a contract which expects you to do something but with no penalties if you don’t. So if you choose not to do what you said you would, that’s pretty much the end of it, so you’re not legally bound to fulfill your part
    Legally binding means penalties or not doing it as per the contract t’s and c’s

    He who hesitates is lost. Tornado sold out. Standard 5 not available when I am and then boiler MoT is due so it’s away or a while.
    Tornado website has (out of date) details on driver opportunities. So that’s next year’s Big Project sorted
    And IMO Better In Blue

    What have we done to deserve Salmond and Farrage at the same time?

    You did’t get Salmond, we did because we voted for him. We got Farage because you voted for him. And Cameron. Not sure what we did to deserve those two

    And personally, I don’t think party politics has a place in the Lords – electing members would probably bring it in don’t you think?

    Not if there wasn’t a house of lords it wouldn’t.
    I want to live in a democracy and that means elected representation

    2 fitted about 15 years ago. Done under heavy sedation, no problems. Until about a year ago when one came out. Then the other one a couple months later. Original installation was private and not cheap but funded by criminal injuries compo. Replacement was at an NHS dental training surgery (final year students, supervised) and was a nicer place but a bit slow.

    6 months later they came crying back as no one else could reliably supply them at the price they paid, even greater delight was taken in saying “sorry we are at full capacity supplying many of your competitors at a fair price”

    Sicily? Fine weather, not touristy, plenty to do. Can really recommend a trip up Etna

    All very weather dependant but
    – head south to Kinlochleven and take sort but steep’ish walk to the Grey Mare’s Tail. The south road along the loch is spectacular, miss the first signposted turn off, cross the Ballachulish bridge, then turn left at Glencoe village (well short of Glencoe the famous glen). GMT car park is just over the river in Kinlochleven. Signposted.
    – up Glen Nevis to the car park then follow the path to the flatlands below the Ring of Steall. Energetic but not deadly.
    – North East to Fort Augustus, hang about the locks and watch the boats, then onward to Urquhart Castle for some monster spotting
    – like Big Engineering? Ben Cruachan is a mountaim some 60 miles drive away which was hollowed out and a 400MW hydro power station built inside it – you need to book that though. Oban has a nice wee distillery producing a decent drink, and the loop via Glen Coe, Glen Orchy, Oban and back up the coast is stunning. Lot of driving though.
    Grey Mare’s Tail

    Ring of Steall bridge

    BTW steam train to Mallaig is pricey and views from the ordinary train are just as good. Get the steam tain timetable, get the train before the steam train to Glenfinnan, get off, head for the road and watch the steam train crossing the viaduct.

    I met him a couple times about 30 years ago, before he got famous. Arrogant prick then and surprised this doesn’t happen more often
