Ahh good to see this thread is alive and well, and clearly there are still some people who have watched that travesty of historical accuracy that is Mel Gibson's Braveheart and are now deluded.

YES Margaret you can be Scottish and British and rightly proud

Sorry to rain on your historically inaccurate Rob Roy, blue war painted V the NAZI ENGERLISH parade (BTW I'm half Scottish/English), but guess what...

I know now I live here in the Queen's Own land so how about

All of this (and I have no point of view on Scottish devolution) brings to a head the question of independence.

Can any group just vote to get out of a country, and thats it?

What if Yorkshire declared UDI? Could it happen?

Remember that Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are virtually independent in most ways.

I remember the push for an independent East Timor - which came mainly from an unholy alliance of Catholics and socialists. no one wanted to listen to common sense, which was that the country was too immature, to small and too broke to stand alone.

Ten years later and East Timor is now one of the poorest nations on earth. 90% of its population survive on less than $1.50 a day.

It relies upon Australian Aid and loans to survive, and it pays for that aid with the virtual loss of its sovereignty. Australian troops are based in the country, its economic, legal and social affairs are all steered by Australian "advisors".

They threw out Indonesia, and in stepped Australia.

So 5pm, off to the bar with the boys, and...... I had about $5 to last me until i was next paid. It was a quiet Easter....

She had gone on holiday to Europe - with my money. To get my own back I called the neighbours and told them I was very sorry, but I had no option but to let the house (which she had possession of) to the Finks to raise money.

She cut short her holiday and came home for some reason.

No no on, I didn't get shot! That was someone else.

I got my revenge at the property settlement hearings, by having a different beautiful girl on my arm each day.
