I think that Scotch independance should depend on them taking Northern Ireland with them.

After all, it's mostly their lot wot aren't pwopah Irish.

On the other hand, it would give them someone to feel culturally and culinarily superior to.

No no you can have it
We don't want it
Neither do we - we'll throw in Wales. Well maybe Anglessey

[Berni]

the last bloody thing they needed was to have half a million angry and protestants to deal with on top of everything else.

[Ashberto]

then where does it leave them?

Time to split the whole thing up IMO. Wales can feck off 'n all. They've already invented their own language.

We want f**k all to do with the Scotch either.

You left town long ago, surely. Are the six counties not now a dim and distant memory? Are you not a card carrying citizen of the Irish Free State?

This, of course, would raise the interesting question of who the British are. Knowing Ulster Protestants, they'll find someone to take it out on.

I'm a bit odd about the term British myself. I'm a proud subject of Her Maj, so in that sense I'm British. Plus, I'm a product of various bits of the British Isles. However, I feel I as much in common with most Frenchmen as I do with most scotch, welshers or Nornirish, so :shrug: basically.

we drink beer by the pint in pubs, paid for in advance and using the round system (you owe me a pint, btw). Much as I love France, the experience of drinking in public is basically furrin.

[Berni]

I shall be sure to buy you a pint the next time I attend a game. :thumbup:

However my family (or some of) are still there.

On Saturday in fact I shall be donning full paramilitary gear and popping up home for a short but ultimately tiring visit.

Took me a while to understand that troops on streets and military helicopters constantly in the sky were not normal.
