It proves how important we are to them, them coming to see us for only the second time in 90 years you see.
As they know they are hated so much , it seems to me like a double bluff by the cons , to force a yes vote and pretty much eliminate labours election chances south of the border .....dunno...?

If the next Ipsos MORI poll shows a significant drop in the No lead, we can probably call that definitive. The days of the No camp being 30+ points ahead seem to be well and truly over. Five out of the seven British Polling Council members polling on the independence referendum now put the required swing for Yes at just 5-6%.

I'm sat in the Blackfriars enjoying a half pint. TheBetter Together shop had only one young lady there. If only I were 20 years younger! She knew more about Salmond's visit than Cameron's.
 
Just watching the BBC News. The reporter was on about cricket, and talked about 3 bouncers bowled by Cameron.

Bouncer number 3 was, apparently, "you're going to struggle with North Sea Oil".

Oh, I'm convinced. A bit patronised, but convinced. Oil will only be safe in your hands, Dave. After all, it's a liability, not an asset. It is in our best interests that your mates stick the revenues up their posh fucking noses.

I saw that too. Cricket, ffs? You can tell who the BBC's talking to can't you.
 
I've little clue about golf either. A wasted walk with an odd shaped bat.


Golf is big in scotland tho isn't it? not just among poshos either, I read ages ago that theres loads of reasonably priced, within a working mans pocket, golf courses. Also, the scots invented golf.

I'll add the caveat that my entire knowledge of scots working class practises comes from reading Irvine Welsh books so I might be off beam....
 
should have used a golf metaphor.

Wouldn't mean feck all to me either :) Sports with sticks that isn't curling mean nothing to me!
Golf is indeed an everyman's sport up here Dot, but me and Frankie are not everyman, indeed not even men :D And I share the waste of a walk view. My uncle in law is a golfer at Carnoustie, only one in the family afaik.

I don't know anyone who plays golf. I don't move in those kinds of circles. There are indeed shitloads of golf courses here but I don't know anyone that uses them.
 
either way, the No campaign seems massively under par


its like the bods in power down here were comfortably assured that a Yes campaign would fail so they did nothing. Now at the last minute they are doing the stick of osbourne 'you can't have the pound' and the carrot of sending everyone up there on a begging for votes mission to convince scotland that westminster really gives a shit about something other than money and strategic placing.
 
I used to know people who used golf courses, for scrambling on :D
And getting stoned, drunk, shagged, for professional networking or even a little bit of poaching but only a very few who took it seriously as a sport. :oops:

Oh yeah, actually the only reason people I know use the nearest golf course is for sledging down in the winter.
