As a European immigrant, I don't particularly relish the possibility of a referendum on the UK in/out of Europe.

I stand to be corrected as I've not looked into this but as I understand it, if Scotland does go indepandant, I believe it is automatically out of Europe and would have to apply to join the EU if it wanted to. How would that affect you Wok?
 
I honestly don't think enough people will vote Yes, but I'd be quite happy if they did, since the current English (sorry, I mean "British") government have made it impossible for me to return home (which for us would be Edinburgh) with my non-European wife. So they can all just go fuck themselves in their fucking faces.
 
If you look around the world 5-10 million is good sweet spot for the population of country. It means it's big enough to look after itself but small enough to keep the government closer to the people. Scotland is the right size. The UK is too big. Even England is too big. Even looking at countries like Germany and the USA, these are large federal states where the states are yes, about 5-10 million.

I could get behind a truly federal UK but it would mean splitting Engerland up. This is good write up of the idea http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27731725

No one seems to really know what will happen.

A lot of folk seem to be of the opinion that as essentially a new state, Scotland would need to apply to join the EU (as well as the UN, NATO etc...)

Alex Salmond on the other hand is in the habit of just going "nah that's not right, this is what will happen."

I can't wait for it to be over so if nothing else, all the arses from both sides on my Facebook will shut the fuck up and stop posting shite about each other.
 
I dont mind either way. What I do mind is that fat twat Salmond. He clearly doesnt like the English, thats fine because I dont believe anyone really likes him.

If the Scots had a real leader there wouldnt need to be a vote even, as the outcome would be clear.

The thing is, he's the best they've got. The SNP almost imploded when he retired as leader back in the day to the point he had to return.

I fear our iron resources will be depleted in the event of independence as the first thing that fat fuck will do is have a statue cast of himself.

He's such an odious, corpulent little politician he makes my skin crawl and at a time when you've got arseholes like Cameron, Clegg and Milliband front parties, it's a bad day when you're the top tajjer.

*cough* Nigel Farage
 
Afternoon all. :Wave:

Purely personal, but I tend to consider Salmond and Farage to have equal levels of twatitude. YMMV. That does not preclude Cameron, Clegg and Milliband from also being twats.

Somewhere along the line, I came across the pearl of wisdom that states the last person you should entrust with power is the person who desires it. I tend to agree with the thinking.

Morning all. TFI FRIDAY!

Gig tonight and haven't picked the guitar up for two weeks; trying to decide if it's "squeaky bum time" or "f*ck it, turn it up, more volume solves everything".

Wok - sorry thought you were pointing out some lyric stating what I referred to. Image is definitely appropriate.
 
Morning gents.

How goes it all?

I've just remembered I have a half done application form for a job that I don't really want that I really need to finish this afternoon :facepalm:

Meant to be covering my brother's DJ residency (which he's not done for the last 6 weeks!!!) tonight but not sure if it's actually on because of the football or not. Good an excuse as any to take a wander down to the main street and start lager beer time a bit early :embarrassed:
 
Ha turns out the DJ set has been kai boshed, not because of the football but because they've got some bird called Phyliss (is that even a real name???) in singing.

Have at it, means I can go out and enjoy the football now :embarrassed:
 
Afternoon all. Gig went ok on Friday, apart from it being empty with most people staying in with the football on etc. Played reasonably well so the aforementioned squeaky bum time did not occur. Smallest stage I have set up on in this band if not ever though.
 
Ugh I did Tough Mudder yesterday and the course was much muddier and the obstacles much harder than last years.

Last time I went home, showered then went out and played with the band and woke up the next day feeling fine.

Yesterday I took my dad for a quick pint, fell asleep on the couch and now today I'm getting stiffer and sorer to the point I'm walking around as if I've shit myself :grin: :facepalm:
