As you appear to such a diehard conservative, do you organise such things as the quiz night/pie and pea supper at your local convertible club.
I went to one such event at Fulford(York) con club, they were most welcoming even though as they put it I was the enemy.
You could invite everyone on here and even show off your superior intellect.

Cabriolet tories, now there's a sub set.

More than happy to have an event at the Sheaf, perhaps PeadoSam could be the contra?

Yup. +1

Slurper,

perhaps you have had enough to drink tonight?

do everyone a favour and get a good night's sleep

[Sloper]

Actually rather sober, just having some sport, but will be off to bed shortly.

All in the mix me thinks:

oh shit

sorry man

must be awful

hope things work out for you

To me the biggest beneficiary of the Scots buggering off will be the English who will find themselves part of a far more London-centric country. It's beyond time that people wake up to the economic dynamic of England: that is one of the two dominant global cities on the planet, with a quaint, but essentially irrelevant, hinterland. Frankly the country should be renamed "London" or perhaps "LHR".

I'm sure there are lots of people all over the country, not just in Scotland, who would be very happy to see our economy become less reliant on taxing dickheads in London whilst they play with imaginary money.

a horrid cold and wet day could swing it to Yes.

So it will be a Yes then.

[SA Chris]

A win against Germany today would definitely swing it to "yes". History is full of random and seemingly trivial events causing massive changes. And there's nothing more random and trivial than Scottish football.

And there's the swingometer going the other way.

Don't worry, we had a bastards anonymous meeting in the pub tonight and I was introduced to the delights of meths, I baulked at first but when they told me it was grand cru I held my nerve and took a deep draught.  It turns out to be better after you've had a few and can't see what you're drinking.

[Sloper]

JFCOAB things must be desperate when you've got Gordon Brown on the campaign trail.

If the No campaign rolled out Jim Davidson and Roy Chubby Brown in the next few days it wouldn't surprise me.

Actually, I suspect everyone outside the Home Counties would vote for independence from London....

I know you like to comment in the Gruniard Sloper...

Could you top this one, in response the dumbest question ever asked?

I haven't been on the Guardian for ages, but as far as comments go that pretty much sums it up both in terms of the article and the editorial team headed by Rubbisher.

I think given that London taken as a separate entity voted Labour at the last general election, they would also vote for independence from the Home Counties!

[Jaspersharpe]

I'm totally against the idea of independence so I'm most concerned that Cameron, Clegg and Milliband are heading to Scotland in an attempt to bolster the No campaign. This will surely swing it massively to Yes.

Yup. Quite bizarre..

I think they should wear kilts too... and ginger wigs... just to ingratiate themselves with the locals...

I think the 'No' campaign's recent addition of Gordon Brown may have the same effect...

GB has a solid reputation North of the border... Apparently he easily polled highest rated PM candidate in Scotland in the last election...

[Fultonius]

Huh, oh well - that's a bit of surprise.

[Oldmanmatt]

Come on, let's focus on the serious issues.



Hurrah!
