Big day in Scotland tomorrow and yet there's nothing interesting on the Forum to take our minds off things here in the Northern United Kingdom.
In case it all goes t**s up - I'll say goodbye now - it's been nice knowing you all and i hope you'll be nice to your foreign cousins if the worst happens!!!!!
Oh and Barts Bash will go on regardless at Largs on Sunday  Wink

There's a thought. Next time the 300s go to Prestwick it'll be an international event just like Garda rather than a Nationals.
Successfully confusing ambition with ability since 1980.

Lucky Bart's Bash is an international event...

At least English and Welsh sailors wouldn't have to put up with a Nationals held in Scotland any more! The oddest I think is when the is a Nationals, Scottish Nationals and Welsh Nationals, but no Englsih Nationals, even when the Nationals are at Largs, say.

Will we need to show a passport to cross the border? If not, how does Scotland plan to control immigration? Or is emmigration more of a problem?

Anyway, having written down all the daft things I can think of in a hurry concerning the possible outcome of the vote, I do wish you all the best for tomorrow. Sadly, whatever the outcome, I think the divide that has been created both in Scotland and the UK will rumble on for years.

nothing stopping them using it, issuing it is another matter entirely... oh, PY, I thought we were talking sterling.

I suspect there will be a 'PY Union'...  bankers in one room fixing the currency; w*nkers in the other fixing the handicaps.  Bandits set to benefit from both.

(that's about right isn't it Grumpf?)

If the Scots go independent there is one thing that we could all benefit from...... Stable time.

By this I mean that one of the big reasons given for moving the clock around is that the Scots need it!

So if they go then there will be less need  for the govt to play god with everybodies lives and disrupt my snoozing patterns.

Down here in the Land of Far Far Away we need our own time anyway, Bristol could have its own time zone and so on as you go north.

Fun Fun Fun!
