  1. It was only that price when you added on the bill for taking the Michael Jackson statue away.
  2. Is CSD actually Glen Hoddle in real life?
  3. Theres dozens of things that appeal about Scottish independance. However, I cant help thinking that the corporate "masters of the universe" are lying in wait to give a new nation an almighty slap. Theres spin and half truths,bluster and bullshit on both sides. But to a large extent its not the politicians that the electorate need to worry (too much) about.
  4. The likely outcome of a yes vote is not much difference tbh.....until EU member Scotland suddenly has a non EU member state on its southern border....England is following the rest of Europe in lurching to the right, and once Farage is finished annhilating Cameron and the Tories for "losing the union" he'll then turn the argument round so England gets its referendum on EU membership and suddenly we live in very, very different countries.
  5. Questions for JJ and topcat: 1 in the event of a yes vote, if various corporates carry out their threat and up sticks and move south, say with the loss of 5000 Scottish jobs, will it all be worth it? 2 if its yes, do you vote SNP at the first Scottish general election, and have Alex Salmon as Idi Amin's successor?
  6. In general, its the under 45s, I.T. literate, more likely to get "information" from the web v over 50s, by nature cautious and thrifty, culturally and emotionally more likely to be tied to the idea of the UK. Oh and try to be a bit more patronising the next time you post in this thread, the porridge wogs love that sort of thing
  7. "Are they HF, are they HF in disguise?......"
  8. Blatter: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29109481 Just it say "I fuckin told you lot this would happen"
  9. The pound is down on the money markets, and the share price of Scottish based firms who have already stated their opposition to independance like standard life is also down. This may make a no vote more likely, the don't knows will play it safe iyam.
  10. Ftao CT: the scoreboard was at the gallowgate end. No need to thank me, glad I could help
  11. Fair enough. When he was bottling challenges at home v the mackems last season he didnt seem to love us very much. Wouldn't properly criticise him for that v anyone else tbh, but we should expect proper comittment against them. He barely played after that tbh, which was Pardew cutting his nose off to spite his face, but the outpouring of man love for Ben arfa now hes gone has masked some pretty basic failings tbh.
  12. I agree tbh. In the big scheme of things he achieved very little for us bar a few nice goals. We've been utter shite in the past and have players from those periods who will be held in higher esteem than he will be, Quinn and Kelly spring to mind...
  13. He was offered it and turned it down. Not being a total mug, he realised that his brand of chequebook management wouldn't exactly flourish under Ashleys regime.
  14. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/harry-redknapp-questions-hatem-ben-7735509 Gawd bless yer 'arry!
  15. This person took it as some sort of sinister threat from an Ashley henchman rather than a warning from an insider trusted to be on the fans side due to his illustrious playing career. Moncur is as bad apparently. Both on the club's payroll.
  16. Beardsley last season told a season ticket holder of my aquaintance at a club function that we'd better start being nice to Mike, or he'd exact some sort of terrible revenge, worse than appointing Kinnear. Hes a fuckin horror show.
  17. Mix those coco's with with some velarian tea + rum/whisky/vodka CT and you'll sleep for a week
  18. Seemed to be mumbling something like "ged aaht moi cab you jock caahnt"....or something along those lines, cant really remember, I'd had a few by then like...
  19. He wouldnt take me home, so I just sat in his cab for two hours. He then drove me straight to the police station. Lesson learned; I dont drink Bells now, I stick to Grouse or Teachers
  20. Yeah, but if CT is anything like me hes not done it for over a decade as a night in the cells due to an altercation with a cab driver isnt on really
  21. Is it not the case that regardless of what Westminster says, as a tradeable currency theres nothing technically to stop any country using sterling?....or is that just Salmond telling the yessers what they want to hear? So the guarantee bank remains the BoE, which doesnt seem like full independance to me like.
  22. Good luck Sunday Jill What charridee are you exerting yourself on behalf of? Big shout out to Mrs CT no doubt enjoying an evening of peace for a change
  23. Article seems to be suggesting that a poll or two on Sunday may well show the Yes camp with a slight lead.... http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/05/britain-scotland-independence I went to school in Kelso and own a property in the village where my parents still live. Am not getting a vote but it's very,very strange to think its actually going to be this close. In principle it's huge for the UK regardless of the vote, but the cynic in me thinks it might not matter a whole lot in the long term. The closeness of the vote gives those seeking independence a huge mandate for change which will inevitably lead to independence at some point in the not too distant future. Another interesting article... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29011507
