Would we be leaving today because if we were I wouldn't want to be stuck in one of those Scottish shite holes once they close the door on Thursday

Besides being a bigot you're also very, very tiresome....

Thank you

The should perhaps suggest that it was a light hearted quip :P banter if you will, after all this is the part of the forum where more off topic banter is acceptable

Yeah Arran isn't a bigot.

The difference between you and me (actually I'm sure this isn't the only one) is that I don't take anything here seriously and actually do have a sense of humour.

I love the banter here and I really don't care when it gets slung back my way either......this place is not real life

What biscuits you got by the way, I've just made a cuppa

If you think your post is banter then you really need to work on it dude.

It really is tedious but I didn't particularly care enough to leave the post up.

Brewski it is.

I'd say it's absolutely banter, but like I said before that's because I really don't take this place seriously at all, it's just a bit of light hearted fun

I'll continue to practice my banter any time you choose to engage with me

still have not understood why the SNP were so unwilling to use the already devolved powers, If they are unwilling to use existing powers why does having more matter?

promising the earth on yet to be negotiated exit terms is not a sound basis on which to drift into independence.

Now if we could be serious for a moment. The average number of hours of sunshine in the UK per annum is 1334 at the moment. If you take Scotland out of the equation that goes up to 1383 hours. So if they decide to go it alone we get 49 hours more sunshine a year.
Sounds good to me.

arran77

And add to that V68, our annual average rainfall will fall massively too, so we get more sunshine and less rain......win, win I reckon

Sadly no :roll:

Wales gets a lot of rain, get rid of them too and the Republic of England could become the sunshine state of..well, FUK (Former United Kingdom). The poor northerners can lie around in the sun waiting for a job and the rich southern softies can lie around in the sun listening to President Farage on the radio reciting great Hitler speeches from 1929-1944.

Meanwhile in independent Scotland, unemployment will be at an all time low as people get together to build a giant pipeline to supply The FUK Republic with water just as soon as they pay the right price.

One thing is for certain. Salmonds crowning glory come Friday morning, whatever the outcome, will have been to make miserable half the people in the country he purports to love. He should be proud of himself.

Pina, I respect you for coming on here and explaining your thought process. If. as I still feel unlikely, there is a YES vote you will be 2/3 happy.
Trident would be moved eventually and you wouldn't have to worry about UKIP.
BUT you would be devastated to find yourself outside the EU. There is a touch of irony there.

I'm stocking up on whisky tomorrow. As soon as Scotland drops out of the EU, import duty will apply on all Scottish products entering the EU (including England). That's £11-odd of excise duty per litre and 20% VAT on top of the whole lot.

Whoops.

Whisky or Whiskey ?:

"The spelling of whisky, or whiskey, differs geographically. As a rule, American and Irish prefer ‘whiskey’ and the Scots, Canadians and the rest of the world’s single malt makers prefer ‘whisky’. This originated during the 19th century. For in around 1870, Scotch whisky was of very low quality, much of it being distilled poorly in Coffey stills. For exportation to America, the Irish distillers wanted to differentiate their product from the poorer Scotch whisky, thus they added the ‘e’ to mark the crucial distinction. "

Whiskey for me. The 'e' was deliberate.

I recommend Irish whiskey.
It is triple distilled as opposed to whisky (only twice) and has a smoother finish.
Go on. Give it a try.
Oh don't forget award winning Japanese whisky. If it is advertised by arch nat, Connery, it can't be bad.

#bushmills all the way.

I'm a bourbon man personally. Four Roses single barrel or a bottle of Eagle Rare. The Scots can keep theirs.

That's a bit like saying "Whisky? Naw, I prefer Pepsi"

Quite right Bally San

The 'e' is very important, these people didn't sing about whisky did they

I know this is supposed to be banter, but the earliest Scotland will be independent is May 2016. Not tomorrow.

Did you have to pee on our chips?
Regarding Whiskey I was once asked the difference between Irish and Scotch by a young lad serving in a pub. Told him Irish had an e in it and his eyes opened wide and he said "Wow! Reeeaaally?" He was quite disappointed when I told him it was in the spelling. Tullamore Dew is what caused him to ask, lovely stuff.

Beef broth for me in future. Or maybe Irish stew.

I see Andy Murray has ended the debate. He is a Jock tw@t and not British after all.
