Any positives about a YES vote, for the English? (light hearted)

[onelastfling]

The Weather on TV will be a LOT shorter.

We will only have to wait 5 minutes for the weather girl to get round to us, instead of the usual 15 minutes, while they go all round the houses Scotland etc.

Actually I bet the Scots don't know the words to ALS.

bialy no! put that on the Calais suggestion pile please.

Of course!!!! A million unemployed people (all paid a fair working wage and with their yooman right to say no thanks without loss of benefits, blah blah... naturally) wielding shovels along the border. Naval vessels tugging southwards. Job creation scheme meets partition in a grand public works not seen since the days of Offa's Dyke.

AND

Also: Scotland will have a shit fit when it sees us on facebook, having an a maaaze ing time without it

See it works on many levels

left this one off!

Arf at Scotland seeing us having an amazing time on facebook.

That was on Salmond's original shortlist of Indyref questions... 'Will we defriend England Wales and Northern Ireland because they is stuck up and never 'like' our posts!!!? ?

I dunno, I think they'll be too busy to be on Facebook much. We'll be posting all these really amazing status updates and they'll be offline building new infrastructure and just scrolling through really fast before bed

I wonder if Scotland will take to posting passive aggressive statuses and getting a lot of

'Whats up hon'

And

'Inbox me'

From Ireland, France and Spain?

'Britain's Got Talent'... will never discover another Susan Boyle.

Criminal

Can we send gillian mckieth back
and her poo chart and fake fainting

But not The Proclaimers! Love those two [bluch]

Seriously DO like The Proclaimers.

This thread is in jest. We don't want Scotland to go.

Exactly! We don't want them to go.
But a bit of gallows humour is called for ....

I bet Scotland will end up with more friends than us too

Holidays abroad, so much closer to home. I won't have to fly or sail either. Not sure it'll be a winter sun destination though.

First holiday abroad where people will come home paler than before they went!

OK so we make sure all the haggis are safe, grab all the salmon (not salmond), shortbread, irn bru and Tunnocks products we can manage plus a deep fried mars bar for onelastfling to try and then we go in with the JCB and dynamite right?

And just as Scotland is floating away we throw Gillian McKeith and Lorraine Kelly right back at them

Sounds like a plan

Don't forget to strap Frankie Boyle to one of the trident missiles whilst executing that plan though.

Damn it, I wish I'd seen this thread before I voted - a yes means we could close the border quickly tonight and left you all with Gillian NcKeith, Frankie Boyle and the Murrays.... I should have thought this through more.

Can we keep Kevin bridges and billy Connolly though? They're funny

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne*?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Awww, that actually gave me goosebumps reading that for real :(

Damn it, I wish I'd seen this thread before I voted

Those that did are bound to have changed from a yes to a no Empire. Just so we don't get a new national anthem or a dragon on the flag.

You're right legion - why should you guys get all the fun; making loom band flags, on a light winter morning whilst a national anthem to the tune of Beyoncé plays in the background.

If we ask Wales and Norfolk nicely we could set up a giant sale on each of their coasts....then we could all blow east or west after the big bang and set sail skimming gently round Calais as we go.

I vote for trying to smuggle Nessie out. Lake Windermere would be big enough for her and we could get her to do a doggie (dino) paddle as we blow on our way around the world (that is beginning to sound rather dodgy isn't it???)

A giant sale? Education in England is truly awful! GIANT SAIL!

Oh and a positive, our unemployment figures will go down over night. Bet the WM lot will take credit for that though!

I do hope if the Scots vote yes the end of putting the clocks back in winter comes along.

David Cameron might resign also.
