I don't know about you chaps, but when I start a thread I click the "subscribe" button so that I'm alerted via email when there's been a reply. Once I'm lucky enough to be alerted, I abandon which ever pursuit I'm currently engaged in to dive back onto the thread to read the reply.
Sadly after 2 or 3 relevant comments it usually goes all Ronnie Corbett with over excitable ex (and very occasionally current) dirty bikers alerting me to the presence on YouTube of sh1te 1980's music videos, the wrath of neighbours, strange blokes that resemble PeteBC (but are not as strange as PeteBC) or motorcycle modifications not pertaining to motorcycles that I own, amongst other gems of random info.
So to get to my point; why wait until the fourth comment to subvert the post? I'm sure that it could be done sooner if we all try harder.
As im going 'off piste' this Chrimbo to a place with no tv, can anybody share dvd copies of the Morecombe & Wise Christmas show? Apparently 1976 was a vintage year.
Sorry Gary, the weather is shart up there at the moment, but not in a , 'it's cold outside so let's stay in this lovely little bar drinking 50 year old single malts' way ! The bar is shut
Elephants like Caulilowers. They are vegetarians. XR 650s like Elephants but they are not known for knowledge of Hinduism. So rhetoric suggest Cauliflowers propagated the Lord Krishna.
Case proven, quid pro quo where do I send my bill.
Fireworks - hoots mon - everyone in the North stops their day (aye tis dark in the day) to gozzle the f'werks and ice cream parlours abound in the frozen north. Thems nae bad things.
Now in Aberdeen it is mostly dark at 15:30 but fully dark at 16:00. Only 4 weeks to the shortest day of the year.
..... So if the Scots do vote for independence we in the South can expect an extra hour of daylight in the eve of a winter. It is only the fear, these days, of north scotland folk sending kids to school in the dark Scottish morning that means us southerners put up with the, scots imposed, clocks changing and subsequent dark evenings.
Didn't know you have to hunt haggis, is the species unique to Hoots land?
I have no doubt they have a great education system in Hoots land, the rest of the UK are paying for it after all. Still when the Scots ( or should I say residents of Scotland) get to vote for independence soon they may have a radical rethink as to what they may loose over the next decade or so, not to mention the promised hike in Income tax.
Odd the Scots living in the UK do not get to vote, and even people resident in Scotland, Scottish or not get to vote. How much of this about national identity or a more sinister political agenda I wonder?
I can just see it now the mass exodus from Scotland if they jack up the Tax.

Many major employers have contingency plans in place for movement of Jah people if a Yes vote. Economically the 6 million Scots will be fekked. I'm getting my eye tests in and any free prescriptions I can before baling out. Suppose they vote No. Can the English then vote on English independence... What would the populist answer be? Europe is a much greater decision than saying hoots to Hoots which I offer would be a no brainer (literally, figuratively and probably).
Mr Farage seems to be heading toward riding the crest of a wave for UKIP.
Pete. I always have thought that the independent governing of Scotland, Wales and NI was a good thing, as well as any other commonwealth country.
However it should not be at the expense of others living in the mainstay country, in this case England. Certain things should be set by the UK government as a whole to keep it fair like health and education, pensions, benefits should all be the same all over, its this type of disparity that fuels the attitude, "fine, you want independence take it and feck off".
The vote will be No, but if the No vote came with strings attached, like central government sets these things and no free this and that, would the vote then be Yes I wonder?

Well emotions are ruling heads and with Scotland being front and centre for commonwealth games in 2014 etc anticipate a lot of feel good factor tipping the balance to yes...maybe...but a compromise is already sought and mooted.
Personally I will vote for independence, it's mad that it costs me nowt for prescription or eye tests, no one dies on a trolley in Horsepiddle in hoots and only immigrants - who want to work - are here in Aberdeen.
For feks sake there is a shortage of workers in Aberdeen and a surfeit of benefit claimants in Glasgow. How does that work? It's just two hours away by public transport? Go figure.
Good the UK coalition government have finally thought about setting a line in the sand for the sappers who want to come and take your tax money wherever they be from. Guess UKIP were gaining too much ground.
