    Now, Let's all get back to slagging off the English ! :))
    ( Only joking, we all love each other ) :D {[]

    Congratulations to Scotland for being able to have a civilised, debate and referendum
    Pitty some of the trolls on twitter can't be as courteous :# Some of the vile abuse, some
    People are getting ( in both No or Yes, camps ) is disgusting.

    I was wondering if we'll hear anything about Sir Sean's views. :))

    Yes, I'm curious to hear Sir Sean's Views on this. He has surprisingly stayed very silent on this Referendum.

    I remember in an interview with Honour Blackman ( who doesn't believe in the
    Honours system, or the Royal Family, she has Refused being made a Dame. ) and
    She said she was amazed that Sean ( a Scottish, nationalist ) accepted a Knighthood !
    It's an odd world. :))
    I'm still waiting for my CBE, every year she forgets. :# :))

    Come to think of it all the fun will start again in a couple of years, when WE get the
    Referendum to get out of Europe ! :D

    so, am I getting that right:

    Scotland decided deliberately to stay a british colony? :D

    TP- we get that referendum as well. I hope it gets as large a turnout!
    Higgins- the word "British" includes Scottish so your post makes no sense. Of course, we're used to your posts doing that.

    Righteous post!

    Hm, a non-flaming post from Richard--W.

    Richard, you left a number of unanswered questions last time you graced us with your presence. Please address these before continuing to post.

    Sounds like the Holy Roman Empire before Prussia took it over and declared it Germany in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. In other words a regression from the Union. :#

    Well Bavaria and Scotland have in common a language that noone understands outside of their territory :D
    Besides that, the big difference is that if someone asked Bavaria if they wanted to become independent - they'd leave in a heartbeat and noone would try to keep them off doing so :D

    But with a german colony, we don't ask :)) :)) :))

    From what I'm reading ...................
    I think, at the heart of the Matter, Many,..... Very Many Countries are Jealous that they were Not
    truly Gifted, Blessed even, ..... not to have been Included in Her Majesty's United Kingdom ! :D

    In fact given that even President Obama, didn't want Scotland to leave the union !
    I would be surprised if now our American cousins are regretting, throwing all that
    Tea in the harbour. :D and may be looking back to the old country, to become
    A colony again ! ;) . I for one would welcome them back. All's forgiven ! You tried
    To wear the big daddy trousers but now see it's only the political Giants like Dave
    Cameron, who have the passion, skill and yes, pure sexual charisma needed to look
    After the world, and isn't it comforting to know that should anything happen to him. In
    The wings waiting is Good old Nick ! A modern Churchill. :))

    Well, he won't be around for much longer- there's an election soon. Speaking of which, Alex Salmond is stepping down as First Minister after the referendum result didn't go his way.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    To be Honest, I was expecting that to happen. :# Well he gave it his Best shot and
    He did look tired, He is also a convicition politician - a rare thing these days. :) I
    for one wish him well. {[]

    One unanticipated bonus from this whole thing is that for the first time much of the world may actually understand that Britain is comprised of England, Scotland and Wales and that England and Britain are not the same thing, and that someone can be British but not Scottish, but you can't be Scottish but not British.

    You're in the British Isles, so geographically you're British. Fight avoided!

    And not forgetting Northern Ireland as part of the United Kingdom too. We may be small but we never forget. :v
