Would have been more fun with another "un" at the front.

For seeing sense!
It is a No!!!

Either way, it was the same to me!

I am at a client site in Glasgow today. It does not look like it's going to be a fun day.
|
|
|
|
|
You might as just well re-schedule, doubt there will be much work done today.

It's the whole going for the train today bit I'm not looking forward to. The yes campaign had booked a celebration party for George Square at noon today. I'm due to leave from Queen Street Station. It wouldn't surprise me if there's trouble today. Walking through Glasgow last night was not the first time I actually worried for my own safety.

Be safe. Don't make eye contact.

I always wanted to try out my Krav Maga in a combat situation. Looks like today could be my "lucky" day.

Don't you mean "aye contact"?

Just wear a hoodie, carry a bottle of Buckfast and you will blend right in.

I'll admit it's been years (decades probably) since I was last in Glasgow, but even before the Good Friday Agreement I felt safer in Belfast than in Glasgow...

Heh.
I came to my computer to see the outcome of the referendum, and I thought "BBC or CP?"
Obviously, I made the right choice.
A new slogan for CP:
No Waffle! No Bloated Pages! -- Just the News!

and thank you for your clear and concise distillation of the North Sea Oil & Gas situation Dave. It, along with Swinney's 'back to the 70's' diatribe were the crucial factors in me voting no.

I would have loved a Yes vote, but only for the entertainment value.
Of course it had to be a No.
The upshot is more devolved powers to the Scots, and now, to the English, with an English parliament in the offing.
This will prove interesting.
It would be possible that Millibean could be the next PM thanks to the Scots Labour MPs, yet could be a minority in England.
It would be impossible for him to get through any legislation on English Only matters.
Oh how he would squirm!

That's the sting in the tail. But I was thinking, those who have been fervently behind a 'yes' vote, will they be less inclined to vote in a general election bearing in mind it's the likes of Brown and Darling who have been representing the 'no' campaign?

There was a representative for Plaid Cumry (Or however the hell it is spelled) foaming at the mouth on the wireless this morning. Now that Scotland is getting more or less devo-max she doesn't want Wales to become a second-rate country. Even before the vote surely that would have been an improvement.

Having grown up in North Wales, the biggest problem (and I classify myself as English, btw) is that for decades it was used as a dumping ground for benefits claimants from Merseyside, Manchester and the Midlands.
Take a trip anywhere along the North Welsh coast from Saltney to Llandudno and you'll be hard pushed to find a welsh accent.
