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. Grin

FuckaTuck.

I like it

The flag should have two different sized crosses of red on green and white with a dragon stampeding across the lot. It would look great.

Hopefully they won't even SHOW curling.

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:09

I am actually quite excited at the prospect of travelling with a Fuck-a-Tuck passport.

gingee · 18/09/2014 16:09

I take that back there was done decent man flesh on show

gingee · 18/09/2014 16:10

Argh SOME

Hestershaw

We have absolutely no say in the future of our country.

I have tried this one many times. Apparently we don't count because it's like a divorce you see.

So, if it's like a divorce, does that mean that Scotland has decided to LTB!!

FrankelandFilly · 18/09/2014 16:11

Only if the dragon is breathing fire too Hest

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:12

Oh I like the stampeding, fire breathing dragon idea. Can it be 3D?

FrankelandFilly · 18/09/2014 16:14

A contender perhaps? (I've used up my picture allowance for the day Sad)

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:15

Does anyone know what the collective noun for haggi is?

Perhaps a supper of haggi

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:16

Now you are talking Frankel

Not sure what's in it for the people of N. Ireland but I like it.

I say it's the official flag of Fuck-a-Tuck.

gingee · 18/09/2014 16:17

Haggii with two i's?

FrankelandFilly · 18/09/2014 16:21

A quick Google suggests the collective noun is either:

A flight
A heap
A clanjamfrie (under 50)
A gallimaufry (over 50)

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2014 16:23

Regardless of the vote, the flag should be changed to have the dragon on it because dragons are awesome it's not fair on the Welsh.

OwlCapone · 18/09/2014 16:23

So, if it's like a divorce, does that mean that Scotland has decided to LTB!

Not necessarily. They may have been shagging another country and have decided to leave to start a new life with them.

Has anyone seen them with France lately? They go back years. I'm sure France would be interested in rekindling the Auld Alliance.

TSSDNCOP · 18/09/2014 16:26

I'm rather concerned that the national flag of Fuk a Tuk has a dragon shitting cricket bails and a ball.

I just spent a few seconds pondering Cognitos comment about Andy Murray. Then remembered I never liked him, and wouldn't for a gallimaufry of haggis.

TSSDNCOP · 18/09/2014 16:28

I think Scotland's fancied Norway for a long time.

So the question really is whether Norway is in fact the OW?

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:28

Frankel I love that there are different nouns depending on the quantity of haggis in the group.

Who knew haggis were such social creatures?

FoxSticks · 18/09/2014 16:28

David Coulthard will be extradited and we won't have to see his tight white jeans any more.

I'm a bit worried about lack of iron bru though, should I be out panic buying?

Redcoats · 18/09/2014 16:29

When my DCs are moaning about us not going on foreign holidays I can say 'ha we're going to Scotland, that's foreign!'

Can we send back my annoying Scottish colleague as well?

gingee · 18/09/2014 16:30

No more nina and the neurons, please god!

CogitoErgoSometimes · 18/09/2014 16:30

Collective noun for haggis must be a 'swithering'. (I have heard that word far too often this week.)

TSSDNCOP · 18/09/2014 16:32

Apols Cogito I spelt your NN wrong ^^
