Yes voter then, Jenny. Getting desperate are you? Polls not going your way?

Braveheart

Don't do it - I started a New Year's bingo last year and it all ended in tears Wink

JennyPiccolo · 23/08/2014 19:47

Just bored of hearing the same stuff all the time and thought I'd make some light of it. Sorry if it offends.

Sorry I see you had brave heart in there!

JennyPiccolo · 23/08/2014 19:49

Be worse this time, Pacific. At least we had a useable mobile site to post from at New Years.

Tikimon · 23/08/2014 19:49

As an American, I'm hoping if they do become independent they all make youtube videos screaming "FREEEEDOM!!".

That said, I understand nothing on that list.

Best to make political bingo a drinking game. It washes it down better. Grin

No currency union

JennyPiccolo · 23/08/2014 19:53

I will do it just for you tikimon. In my new role as ambassador for international affairs in the peoples republic of Scotland.

Calling Anas Sarwar 'Anus'. Actual worst joke ever.

Oh, drinking bingo - that's more like it.
As all Scots are drunkards anyway.

My New Year's thread started lighthearted to….

Can I throw in "powerhouse of Europe".

Heard this a lot when I was in Scotland.

Looking round the estate agents rammed with property no one wants to buy and villages where shops and pubs open on alternate days I was frankly baffled.

JennyPiccolo · 23/08/2014 19:56

Oh hang on, there's a debate on Monday on the telly, we should do a real drinking bingo for that one.

I did forget CAUSE FUCK THE TORIES though, which is a classic.

"they'll come crawling back when..." from English folk. Some of them I grew up with Sad
It's awful to think that people I know and who know me, are actually hoping the place that I live is going to go tits up. Horrid attitude.

JennyPiccolo · 23/08/2014 20:20

Oh aye, 'cap in hand' is a classic mumsnet one.
