Listening to the Scotnats today on the news. ...........they are desperate to get involved in a Labour/Libdem coalition for the single purpose of blackmailing them into sending lots (more) money north of the border, despite the fact that the country doesnt have the money.Its enough to make you want to rebuild Hadrians wall.

Tell you what Albs, not a bad idea - I'll start setting out and mixing the mortar and we'll go halfers on the bricks? 

can we leave a door, so the Malts can escape down here

[Banjax]

Maybe the answer is that we should have to take two tests before we can vote. The first test would be a test of intelligence to establish we are capable of understanding the issues.The second test would be a test of political awareness, to discourage people voting in ignorance or being too easily swayed by x-factor type campaigning.
Having left wing tendencies would of course automatically disqualify you on both counts.

Sounds like a fair compromise, no point cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Disqualified on both counts ,plus a fine for poor choice in reading material.

But if the wall was built you couldnt afford to buy it, you would have to sell it to England - cheap.

I had a couple of nightcaps last night (after a couple of beers).  Didn't get up til 9:30 this morning  

[albitz]

That might give a big clue to why the scottish economy would be in trouble ,left to its own devices.
No-one gets up until 9.30 due to the malt effect.

If the wall is rebuit then the lines in the sea extent as far east/west as required.

That means the oil revenue is ours, not yours.

Between the oil, the scotch, and the golf, reckon their would be enough to keep making it..... 

ps - you know that the largest gin mill in Europe is, apparently, on my doorstep?

And the bottling plant for every bottle of legally supped vodka mix in the UK?

Is there much oil left ? they said it was almost gone about 20 years ago. I think if I lived in Scotland I would want to rebuild the wall, build more distilleries and have one huge lock in at the worlds biggest pub.It might not last forever but it would be a hell of a party while it lasted.

A whiskey distillery opened in Norfolk last year. They flew some expert tasters down from Scotland and gave them blind samples and they rated the Norfolk whiskey very highly.

from memory there is plenty oil left - it's economically unviable to extract unless the market price is over a $100 dollars a barrel

So all the things that the various governments persuade us not to buy (by heavily taxing). See, you Scots are bad for our wealth
