  1. I get your sentiment but if they donated £10k to every charity going on with football (i suspect there are hundreds) the charities would be loaded and the players would be on benefits
  2. if it was not a YES/NO, it will demanded soon in the future this way, it will be settled for our lifetimes, anyway
  3. Of course it is part of the effort I'm sure as shyt that AS would have been telling everyone about it had they sided with him
  4. Latest. Next say their prices will rise in Scotland Head of OPEC said Scotland would be foolish to go it alone and dismissed any suggestion that Scotland could join their group. They simply do not produce no where near enough to have a voice and that the oil in the North Sea is on the decline. Also the price of a barrel is going down due to the competition BoE say that huge taxes for each person would need to be applied for cash reserves for Scotland to even use the pound outside if a currency union as they won't have a bank of last resort. Could be up to £18k per person. Let alone the cost of their planned public services Salmon claims this is all one big Westminster con and won't answer questions on these issues. Instead, has attacked the BBC So, Higher prices in the high street Oil revenues controlled by the Middle East Interest rates controlled by the rUK Laws made in Brussels And lots if free things for everyone Wow
  5. Never been to hull But there used to be a night club call the tower (so I have heard) Tower for an hour if you want to pull
  6. One of the brass at work was at his news conference (so my boss says today) and AS was heckled by the international media section and they pressed him time and time again on the issue of currency and oil he did his usual of blaming "England' and 'Westminster' and called them puppets of the UK government..... he also claimed (when pressed) that he had not factored in the tens of billions of £££ he would need in reserve to even start the debate about a currency union When pressed on what he would do with the 19k people employed directly from the Naval Base in Faslane. he said the scottish workers would be found jobs at the base (which would be vastly scaled down) or he will find them jobs with other public services so was the feedback we got at work this afternoon
  7. Asda are the latest to come out and say that a YES for scotland would mean higher prices north of the wall. AS said that is nonsense. He repeats that to all the business/oil/financial leaders who say they will move south and/or prices will go up in scotland not many big business have come out to say they will embrace a new scotland, as yet
  8. Just been on Talksport that Ashely wants to sell Newcastle (again/still) their north east man said Ashley wants circa £250m. which represents great value No debts, made a profit last year, very big ground, good squad of players and good training ground for a solid premier league side makes you wonder why no real money men have stepped in
  9. gotcha.
  10. where will they train, who will crew the ships? where will they get their support from? what will be their foreign policy? they want to be part of NATO, yet they want to be anti-nuclear?
  11. so, now the dust has settled a fair few games are out for both. what is really the best in terms of performance, selection of games and graphics etc
  12. I saw one yes voter on the telly stating that scotland should not worry about not having full control over their currency (sterling) they will be fine as Germany dont have full control over the Euro and they have a great economy...
  13. it has absolutely massive implications where I work and where I could work in the near future
  14. Latest poll this evening put the No vote at 53% to Yes at 47% 8% swing...... this weekend is going to be fun up there.
  15. probably just putting a bit of balance to the utter horse shyte salmond has been spreading for ages
  16. Just read that salmonds scotland will set up their own 'security service'..their own MI5/MI6 type of thing. he also expects to automatically be part of the '5 Eyes' partnership the UK is in as 'Scots' have been part of that since it has been set up. does he actually want independence or not? as it seems to want to keep a heck of a lot of things and dismiss any suggestion that separation will likely mean in separation in full. he seems to be full of it. Going it alone but keeping the bits he wants. just been reading some of Darlings and Salmonds asnwers in a Web Chat today... Darling warns that having a 'foreign' country run a scottish currency is asking for a disaster Salmond suggests the idea of a Scottish Pound....and starting from scratch as a currency...WTF, where did that come from???? Salmond will help prevent climate disaster and implement 'climate justice' in a new 'fairer' scotlant Salmond wants the 300k young people who leave scotland each year to stay and build a new nation Salmond pledges free child care Darling states that a NO vote will give scotland more/full income tax powers that will allow them to do many things (like ditch the bedroom tax) more for educations and health and the timetable for that will start immediately with a NO vote Darling dismisses that he is scaremongering just because he spells out the financial facts that are now bing back up more and more by multi national business leaders Darlings says that small business will very much struggle in an indy scotland. with the proposed cut in corporation tax by salmond, the small businesses will suffer and those who rely on trade in England as lots of 'red tape' will suddenly get in their way Salmond says that England is bound to see common sense and share the £ with them.....oh, ok then Salmond wants the queen to be head of state and that most English people would like that (is he for real. he uses the term 'english' and 'westminster' a lot) Salmond claims that scotland is easily one of the wealthiest nations on earth......jesus christ Darling points out that Scotland can use any currency it likes but having no control over that is insane. Nations who actually do that have no where near the public services the SNP want and also have huge cash reserves for that 'rainy day' Darling reminds that an independent scotland will have to face rUK with little appetite for any institution to be accommodating to them Darling reminds everyone that the NHS is already completely devolved to scotland and fails to understand why people think ditching the UK will save it Salmond dismisses BPs claims of oil on the decline saying that 'humans get it wrong' Darling says that oil revenue is no more than 2% of the UKs income and the SNP are way over exaggerating when they say otherwise

  18. Just been on Talksport gave it a fair bit of time talking about what he has done and what for. (doing 40+ miles a day) Mentioned that MLT has done 20 miles with him so far also said he think saints will win sat and will be there to see it
  19. http://scotlandstaywithus.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/how-yes-turned-to-no/ https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/big-deceit-heart-alex-salmond-191955797.html?cmp=fb
  20. Huge company bosses are now coming out saying they will "move" South should Scotland vote yes The CEO of BP has said that remaining in the union is essential for future oil revenues, those revenues are depleting and that Salmond is getting it very wrong Cameron has come out and said don't vote yes just to give "the effing Tories a good kicking"
  21. London
  22. Agree with that. Although he may not have seen it at the time, stopping him going to spurs might work out better for him next summer
  23. I agree I am just stunned that people actually believe Salmond so much quite sad that around 2m people could (possibly) send circa 65m (the rest of the uk) into probably recession and uncertainty Financial experts on the BBC generally agree that Scotland going it alone will cost them an absolute fortune and Salmond is very economical with what he says he can achieve. Very. The figures just do not add up what so ever Financially, Scotland would be huge winners by voting no and getting DEVO-MAX. The rest of the UK (financially) would be fine medium-long term without scotland, where as Salmond is banking a scotlands future on depleting oil revenues. Any negotiations after a YES vote would put rUK in by far the strongest position and the main parties will have huge pressure to give very little to him. My take on that, is that if the jocks think Westminster is screwing them over now. Should they vote yes, they may get it both barrels from London. More so as a General Election is 8 months away and Parties like UKiP, who will no doubt talk about being tough on scottish negotiations will once again, drive opinion
  24. feeding is another one. odd
  25. everyone is max'd out after the ice bucket ****-fest
