Picking up OG's suggestion:
Page 425, paragraph 4, sentence 7 and 8: "We will also provide Deep Fried Mars Bars on the Scottish NHS. This will be funded by the tax revenues raised on sales of nuclear waste to IrnBru."
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

They are all queuing up down the chippie for deep fried mars bars...

You see. No politicking! They had to be out there somewhere, doing something. Deep fried Mars bar, indeed.

Have you ever tried one? a molten fatty blob of goo surrounded by batter & the heat, never mind pop tarts / jam rolly polly <<gollum voice="">> It Burns, so it does<>

Never have. Maybe the Scots should apply to the EU (when they join ) and have it declared as an Appellation d'origine contrôlée.

What ever you do no matter how much is being drunk think that's a good idea and try one!

Trust me, that's pretty good advice with more regional delicacies.
Take Laverbread for example. Please, take it, take it all. I don't want it anywhere near me.
If you don't know what it is, for aroma think of seaweed boiled to death in vinegar. Then for the visuals think dark green cowpat. You don't want to think about the taste.

Using Ockham's Razor, the reason for Salmond and Sturgeon's teevee ubiquity is easily explained.
Salmond and Sturgeon are highly photogenic whereas your average Cod, Haddock, or Trout are simply mundane, plebian, instant channel-surf fodder.
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

So,should Scotland go for independence (and I'm beginning to think they might), what are the rest of us going to be called?
Currently the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Great Britain refers to the island which is made up of England, Scotland, and Wales.
United Kingdom refers to the unification of the kingdoms of England (which included Wales) and Scotland.
The only bit of the current name which would make any sense would be Northern Ireland.
What should a new country consisting of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland be called?
No politicising please, just a bit of fun.

And... if Scotland won't be part of it again. How would the UK flag look like? Would you just remove that blue/white background? 
|

Another excellent question.
Sod all this economics crap, these are the issues I'm worrying about.

Might have to move to scotland, the scottish government looks less likely to be full of clowns.

Some possibilities:
- England. Let's be honest, that's what the rest of the world is going to call you (they already do).
- UK. What independence? Will the rest of world even notice?
- K. No more U, just K. It's stupid and no one will accept it, but at least somewhat accurate.

Well, UK would still make sense. If Scotland is part or not doesn't matter. Well, as long as there are at least 2 Kingdoms Countries (I don't think you can call them kingdoms anymore. There is one queen for all of them, isn't there?  ) that are united you can still stick to that name

The UK will no longer be a United Kingdom but a separated or split kingdom.
So we will be called the SK.
If we remove the Scottish part of the flag then a number of other flags will be affected.
The UK flag in top corner of the following countries;
Anguilla, Australia, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cocos Islands, Cook Islands,
Falkland Islands, Fiji, Heard & McDonald Islands, Montserrat, New Zealand, Niue, Pitcairn Islands,
St. Helena & Dependencies, South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands, Tristan da Cunha, Turks & Caicos Islands,
Tuvalu, ... ..
