islingtonclaret Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I would like to see a Scotch Army in battle. Men in kilts tossing cabers while drinking irn bru and eating haggis, all ginger and covered in tartan, with a bagpipe-player spurring them on. Ptthhhhh. Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones would take them all on! Or, to be a bit more boring, they could be some of the hardest contingent of modern warfare soldiers in the world. The Black Watch and the Highlanders may have bagpipes, but history has shown they are very talented at wasting people. The Scotch have always been very talented at wasting people, or rather, getting people wasted. World leaders in that ... Let's call it both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 We're in a world of peak oil, but it's not oil supply that's peaking, it's oil demand. Actually, according to the economist John Quiggin here, "Oil has become steadily less important as an energy source in recent years. U.S. consumption of petroleum for gasoline peaked in 2005, well before the recession, and economic recovery has not produced a rebound. Consumption of oil per person has been declining since about 1980. At least as far as the United States is concerned, Peak Oil is an event in the past, not the future." Incidentally, that's a really good and interesting piece concerning a number of commonly-held myths about oil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) If I was a Scotch customer of those bastarding banks, I'd switch to another bank in protest. They're only buggering off because it's a lot easier for 60m+ to bail out a bank than 6m.

GarethRDR Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Can we refer to the Scottish as Wildlings if they were to vote yes? As a soft southerner, to me anything from Yorkshire up to Newcastle is Wilding territory, everything beyond is White Walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be rebuilding the Wall and having the Black Watch man it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Don't think it's going to happen (Sorry Donnie) Nah neither do I. The people of Edinburgh are wonderful and its a beautiful country in parts however the fact they get free university, free healthcare and still have the CHEEK to whine grates on me.

chrisp65 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 well, I don't know what the hell's happening to my head, but I've just watched George Galloway warn the youth of Scotland that if they want to work for big international companies or the banking sector they'd best heed the warnings of the business community and vote no - told them about all the capital leaving and the money wiped off shares George Galloway? head **** now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes though. Sorry, that's wrong. Alex Salmond has a mandate from the Scottish People to negotiate that the BBC not only continue to read out Scottish results, but in fact place them at the start, as partial redress for decades of having been read out at the end.
