Indyref 12 - keeping the ball rolling

[flippinada]

Hope everyone doesn't mind, I'm to keep the discussion going. As you were folks :)

Numanoid

I suspect that there might indeed be an element of 'This is an occasion when we can get away with it under the guide of political passion' etc. I can assure you though that there are a number of committed voters who are behaving in a quite unbalanced way. My own family have suffered with it although you'll have to forgive me if I don't go into details. (Youngsters involved.)

Thanks also for your post about the letter Fontanella. Very interesting.

'guise' that should read.

Oh I'm not saying that Wild! I think the trouble at those games is caused by the hangers-on, not fans. And I think without them this year, they've migrated across to the next opportunity for a barney.

That letter to the Daily Record from 15 professors and heads of economics from our universities should not be ignored or dismissed.

excellent article re Oil

Sorry, I took too long to find stuff there!!

temporaryusername the IFS found that the SG had cut NHS spending as english NHS spending went up.

This is a very telling article by Ewan Morrison - why I joined Yes and changed to No

Ach, I pay as much attention to Bob as I do to Amy McDonald.
And that would be none at all.

Wild I was in Trafalgar Square this evening - a number of friends of mine from Scotland (sadly without a vote) also there. Twas good. Not sure if it'll help at all, but it made those of us with English accents who don't live in Scotland feel slightly less helpless.

Thanks, frankie it going to be a long night!

Thank you frankie. An early(ish) night is definitely called for I think. I would never last the pace.

Oooh thanks frankie. I wonder if we will have to wait for Aberdeen. What's the population- just over 200,000?

Great to see the positivity Isabel

Shortbread and tears? What will you be eating after the referendum result? Join the thread in mumsnet food/recipes. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/food_and_recipes/2185750-Recipes-after-the-Scottish-referendum?msgid=49523777#49523777

Team, from what I recall what he said was about the men, not the women, of Scotland - addressed to the women, about the men.

Some might want to get the recipe for humble pie.

That's interesting Frankie.

isobel glad it went well

Not worthy, WildThong. No one wins on this one.

Still reading and absorbing. Off to bed..and I have the Wealth of Nations to read as well as the excellent links on here between looking after DS and work. Blimey. Lots to think about. Thanks all.
