Yus I remember you mentioned your old man before. Worked at the power station in Methil. It's East Fife I am from.

The station is gone now.

Jack Vetriano, who is from Methil painted this:



A couple of years before it was knocked down. Wind turbines. East Fife stadium and business park there, plus the docks.

You get back up much?

[Rudy]

Watched the thing being blown up on YouTube, wasnt there I did get to watch a game at the stadium before they brought the station down tho. My lad was interested in the chimney and when they were blowing that up, tho that's gone now too - all on YouTube! Get back up twice a year, more if I can manage it. The old man climbed Ben Nevis yesterday, not bad for a 75+ year old.

[LY_Scott]

Sure isn't. Bring your VX up sometime. Anstruther is only along the coast road and we've got a good route set now.

[Rudy]

Yeah, promised him I'd take the car up North and let him loose with it early next year. Some epic driving roads, be good to have a run out. But, I guess that all depends on whether wee eck's next major building project is the resurrection of Hadrians wall lol.

The Queen was visiting Scotland and Alex Salmond called by. H.M.: "How nice to see you Mr Salmond." A.S.: "Nice to see you Ma'am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I'll be a King?" H.M.: "No, we don't like that." A.S.: "Alright, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I'll be a Prince?" H.M.: .... (thinks).... "No Mr Salmond, I think we should call it a Country."

These were sent out the same time as the postal ballots



On other news Farage is coming to do some sort of rally in Glasgow next Friday.

Then we have the Orange Order doing a march through Edinburgh the next day.

So...these events will have a potential to not be good for either side. I hope they are ignored by the yes side but passions are running high and they will look to antagonise.

They've both been shunned by the official No campaign understandably.

[Rosssco]

Yeah that's a bit sneaky.. haha.. Although its certainly keeping it simple for some of the more "basic" individuals..

 

Still, the originally proposed question was I believe quite loaded in favour of yes, until the UK said "haud oan a minit..", "Do you agree Scotland should be an independant country?"

 

I think they're be scuffles at those event's.. Or as we like to call them in Scotland, 'A good day oot!'..

[LY_Scott]

Aye. All the best will in world for a peaceful response will be pointless. I'll avoid both.

[Rosssco]

I mean who's going to go to see Farage anyway..? Just people intent on sending him home or causing hassle mostly.

 

Who's going to attend an OO march - Same people that usually do, and those wanting to cause a bit of hassle.

 

No "normal" people will actually attend either...

Another debate tonight. I quite like Patrick Harvie so I'll be watching it.

Three guests will represent each side of the campaign. Yes will be represented by deputy first minister and SNP depute leader Nicola Sturgeon MSP, Scottish Green Party co-convenor Patrick Harvie MSP, and actress and Scottish Independence Convention chair Elaine C Smith. The No team will comprise Labour shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander MP, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson MSP, and Kezia Dugdale, Labour MSP and shadow education secretary in the Scottish Parliament.

It's on STV at 8pm

Now what if Orkney and Shetland went for independence and took all the oil and gas LOL

How prophetic...................

Interesting response from the Scottish Government - The petition was closed as the government indicated it "did not support what the petition seeks". The irony is pretty impressive!

 

 

The BBC article on this (which seems to have disappeared) suggested that 65% of the oil field is within Orkney and Shetland waters. Can't imagine why the SNP won't let them have their own referendum!!!

[LY_Scott]

Its a one man petition which later had some other 135 signatures. You should check the population of the Orkneys, Shetlands and western isles and see where 136 people fit in. I could get more responses for an independent state of Kirkcaldy. Covered to death and spun by the nawbags repeatedly.

A whole massive 150 people in a meeting???? Jeees, I can see how that's so much more representative of the population than that petition!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The point wasn't the number of the signatures on the petition, more the reason for the SNP to close the petition i.e. we don't agree with it, therefore it's not going to happen. If the reason given had simply been the number was too small that would have been perfectly reasonable, but to simply say its not happening because we don't agree with it surely goes against the whole raison d'être of the SNP.
