Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

If it's a yes vote will the Queen still spend Christmas at Balmoral and will her Corgis need pet passports to get across the border?

The convention regarding nationality is almost certainly the same as when Ireland became independent in 1922. People from Ireland have residency rights in the UK and always have had even before they joined the EU. They can even vote in our elections if staying in the UK. There could be differences for anyone born after the independence date, but that might depend on whether Scotland joins the EU.

France misses EU budget deficit target
Finance minister Michel Sapin says Paris will not aim to reach required level of 3% of GDP until 2017, blaming slow economic growth and low inflation


tells you a fair bit about the state of the eu economies - uk apart!

Money bailing out of Scootland

I for one am fed up of hearing the name Alex Salmond and even more fed up of seeing the idiot on TV... Every time I see him I'm reminded of Mr Potato Head from Toy Storey...

I will along with all my family boycott all their scots products IFTHEY VOTE YES

MY VIEWS WILL SPEAD LIKE WILD FIRE .

Because of this Scottish referendum thingy, did you know that over the last two months your net worth has probably fallen by about 6%?

That’s assuming your money and assets are based in the UK.

From a mid-July high of £1 = $1.72, sterling slipped below $1.61 yesterday morning.

(Now 100% - 6% = 94%, and so $1.72 x 0.94 = $1.61)

So even if your sterling-denominated assets – your house, your savings, your stocks – haven’t changed in price, they’ve changed in value.

And because of the uncertainty some of the prices have changed too.

Q. And in what direction?
A. Downwards.

The values of our sterling assets are being stuffed!

Eh?

Salmond as one of those types of faces youd like to slap with a kipper.

Barstewards lost me a few bob on the market this week thats for sure.

If they break away you cant blame them with camoron and the posh boys in power, but then again I hope they go bust and have hyper inflation.

ExecLine, I'm not following your net worth falling post... I get that the pound has weakened against the dollar but what has that to do with price of my house or savings all valued in pounds.... Are you trying to say that if I valued my net worth in dollars then I'd be worse off due to the shift in exchange? You could also argue that the dollar has strengthen due to conflict around the world which is more likely true..

I like the way the media right now is capturing Cameron, every picture shows a worried man, "The PM that lost Scotland", he must be pissed that every picture right now looks like he's shit himself....



The captions could be great, Cameron 'boy George that's a bad one, hope now one notices', Clegg, Miliband 'Jesus David, not again, stiff upper lip, mustn't react'...

Moe, Larry, and Curly

It is good to know Cameron's heart will be broken if Scotland reject England.

With the state of the NHS as it is I hope he doesn't get treatment on it!

It's strange that today Britain & France get powerful EU jobs , the two countries in the last few weeks that are showing a bit of anti Europe feeling.

Fred and I hope he doesnt ever get sick disabled or unemployed, because lets face it this present government have let the welfare of this country go to the dogs ........and more.

Its a major scandal what IDS is getting away with.

And people here , yes on this thread will in time see what I see every weekend in my voulantary capacity.

Its pathetic and heart breaking.

Went to see Matthew Crawley from Downton Abbey' (Dan Stevens) in 'The Guest' last night. This is not the 'Matthew Crawley' we all know. The bloke starring in this film is a different guy completely!

I thought 'The guest' was an excellent film and it held my attention strongly. I even think it may eventually gain a bit of a name for itself in the film history books and get to be considered 'a Classic'.

I also think Stevens will get an Oscar nomination for the way he played his part. His facial expressions were incredible.

Highly recommended! Without giving anything away, here's the trailer:



Do you think he is going to be a bad guy or a good guy?

Got a bet on NO !....better odds than now...

Bottle gone....

Fuck all to do with bottle Max! Common sense. Just keep Cameron from opening his mouth and get him sharpish south of the border. Amen :0)
