How's the haggis?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It looks like the rest of the UK will get to keep some of it. Mr Salmond has stated he is willing to take on "our fair share of the national debt", it's obvious he's using that as a bargaining chip to keep the £, help with entry to the EU and other odds and sods. The only way we could afford to take on that sort of debt is to lease or transfer some of the oil fields to what's left of the UK.

The Referendum will be the first vote where 16/17 year olds get to vote. Cynics claimed that the SNP did this to try to capitalise on the idealism of youth to swing the result their way but in reality many of the new voters are likely to vote "no" as they fear a riskier jobs market with a yes vote.

I think we should take a vote. Scots only. We used to be able to do that didn't we?

Yeah, here's mine - what happened to you Francis, I used to call you 'brother'?

As someone of English birth living in Scotland, my opinion is that there are sound political arguments for independence.

Unfortunately it seems that many of the people who will be voting "yes" will do so not because of those reasons but because some English people killed some Scottish people in a battle 400 years ago, or because English sports teams get too much coverage in the media. :?

In 1614 there was the Battle of Flooden - not to be confused with something similar 101 years earlier.

To commemorate the 400th Anniversary of this Glorious Victory the English have seen fit to put vast parts of Southern England under water as an act of remembrance
