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

What do you think the dragon should be shitting TSSDNCOP?

FrankelandFilly · 18/09/2014 16:33

Legion they are terribly social wee beasties, but easily startled. A gallimaufry stampede can quickly escalate into a "lemmings over the cliff" situation.

TunipTheUnconquerable · 18/09/2014 16:35

It could shit Yorkshire roses.

TSSDNCOP · 18/09/2014 16:35

Now that's a philosophical question Legion I shall need to ponder further.

FrankelandFilly · 18/09/2014 16:37

My suggestions:

Scones
Pasties
A Victoria sponge

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2014 16:38

If you're goign to have yorkshire roses then we need some lancastrian ones too, you know.

oohhh... Norway def def the OW.

The question is whether they will leave the Scandi-block for Scotland, or were they only ever leading them on. Or will Scotland join Norway as the other inhabitants of the EFTA (or is Switzerland there too?)

Ididntseeitsoitdidnthappen · 18/09/2014 16:42

It'll be the Irish or the French that they're having away with I'm sure of it

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:43

Completely off topic but....

Apols Cogito I spelt your NN wrong

I have seen Cogito post on hundred of threads and I always read it as Cognito.
Every day's a school day.

Anyway back to the shitting dragon...

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:45

I'll bet they're in cahoots with Iceland too.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2014 16:50

I've always read it as Cogito, I think. --see what I did there==

Ididntseeitsoitdidnthappen · 18/09/2014 16:52

Scotland are the slags if the British isles!

CoreyTrevorLahey · 18/09/2014 16:54

Yes we are, Ididntseeit Wink

I'm a No, but if we do go our separate ways we won't have the stiff upper lipped English diluting our fierce slagginess!

Redcoats · 18/09/2014 16:55

there'll be no chance of Judy winning Strictly
Imagine if she did, we'd have a serious diplomatic incident to get our glitter all back. It'll be like them marbles all over again.
Oh and that Andy's got one of our Wimbledon trophies as well.

Legionofboom · 18/09/2014 16:55

Errol Grin

I feel completely stupid now because I have just got Cogito's username. Blush and Blush some more.

HesterShaw · 18/09/2014 17:01

I've never got it. Should I get it? What is there to get? I only got SirChenjin not long ago

Ididntseeitsoitdidnthappen · 18/09/2014 17:03

I think therefore I am (cogito ergo sum)

Cogitoergosometimes ... I think sometimes

FoxSticks · 18/09/2014 17:10

I've just had a really sad thought. When we are fuck-a-tuk will we no longer be able to march and belt out I'm gonna be (500 miles)' at weddings? Sad

FrankelandFilly · 18/09/2014 17:11

True Fox, but on the upside we won't be assaulted with "Mull of Kintyre" anymore Wink

CogitoErgoSometimes · 18/09/2014 17:12

Round Britain yacht races are going to have an overland element in future. That'll be interesting as they haul their boats out of the water at Berwick.....

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 18/09/2014 17:12

We'll never hear that thing where the television announcer says 'and on BBC1 it's such and such, but Scottish viewers have their own programme'. Why? And what is that programme? is it better than what we get in the rest of the UK?

I suppose we'll never know.

Every cloud and all that I guess Franke. There might be some sort of dirty underground movement where you can go along and get your kicks singing the proclaimers whilst swigging iron bru and eating Edinburgh rock. I'd be up for that.

CogitoErgoSometimes · 18/09/2014 17:17

Will we see lots of frantic euphemisms for the 'S' word, do you think?

"I'll have a double 'drink that shall not be named' barman, thank you."
"Would you like a 'north of the border' egg to go with it?"
