Scotland, as an independent country, would have it's own territorial waters, defined in international law. As such, most of the oil and gas fields are likely to become Scottish. There is an argument about the investment that has been made so far in the industry on behalf of the UK as a whole, and therefore whether a degree of compensation should be paid to the Treasury in the event of 'ownership' being transferred.

I am fairly certain that sexually explicit images of somebody under 18 are illegal in the UK unless taken, and kept, in the context of an established relationship. From the CPS : "The fact that the subject of the indecent photograph(s) is aged 16 or 17 has no impact on sentencing starting points where the activity depicted is at level 5."

What happens if....... The Scots vote 'YES' and Salmond starts building his empire based on his promise of unbridled wealth, only for the entire thing to be proven a web of deceit and at the next Scottish election Labour get in and come knocking on #10's door for re-unification.

But you have to consider the capabilities of his readership.

To be able to use the UK Pound, the Scots would have to devolve monetary policy to the Bank of England; in the same way as they would have to concede control to the Central European Bank should they find themselves bound by what is, in fact, an EU rule over new members joining the Euro. Salmond is baiting too many bears on this one - The EU, the UK, and even NATO, which it seems requires it's members to permit nuclear weapons to be located on their soil.

Only if the Treasury lets them.

"Extended family" ? That would make them PEFFC.

The problem is I miss Dune's windup threads, so Barry has become the surrogate.

@ Charles MacKay 1841 : "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". At least give him credit.

Some might claim that favouritism by the ref for a 'big team' at home would explain it.

What did Jos do wrong today ? Also, I would hope that Fox's last outing demonstrated clearly to MoPo that he's not up to it - if Luke is not fit for any future match I would expect Clyne at LB and Chambers or Yoshi at RB.

Depends on how many threads you, Mr X, and Glasgow start.

Jose pulled an opponent's shirt - for some reason the ref decided that it was a pen. Technically he was correct, but 99.9% of the time they are not given. Lovren's presence would not have changed the ref's decision.

You missed the hashtag

Jose did something that every CB does in every game, and almost never gets penalised. MoPo made them for what seemed to him to be valid reasons - hindsight's great, isn't it ! Jos was OK today, more worried about the loss of Shaw. Why ?

How many saves did either keeper make ? I reckon theirs made more, which makes the way we conceded bloody frustrating.

How many more 'cup finals' are they going to lose this season ?

S****horpe have won their 'cup final'.

Even if it was, which I don't think it was, was he not one of our front 3 ?

J-Rod volleyed in from the edge of the area and their keeper went full length to tip it to an offside Lambert.

J-Rod 3, SRL 2, Osvaldo 1 ???

Gazza to start the next game ?

Well you seem to know the square root of f()ck all, you're just a playground bully gob****e ! ( It is very much like arguing with an idiot - you've dragged me down to your level, and are attempting to beat me with experience ).

And NOT a climate specialist : http://www.skepticalscience.com/William_Happer_blog.htm ( https://www.skepticalscience.com/happer-spencer-global-warming-continues.html ) "William Happer is a Princeton physicist and Chairman of the Board of Directors at the right-wing fossil fuel-funded think tank George C. Marshall Institute. Although he has not published any climate-related research in his scientific career, Happer nevertheless seems to enjoy making his opinions about climate science known, as we have previously examined here and here. Unfortunately, Happer does not seem interested in taking the time to ensure that those are informed opinions." GM, back to you.
