Scotland's independence; any thoughts, chaps ?

[airboatr]

You know me well enough to know it was aimed at us not you all, mate.

my meaning is that some here( the U.S.) will gladly take the bad to get what satisfies thier own interests.

Having lost the vote, in England Salmond would have been forced to abdicate - I bet he doesn't even offer!

You know, Keith, I'd have put money on you being right about that but, if the BBC News page is to be believed, it seems we've both misjudged the man!

Joe..

I didn't see you'd posted mate. My response was to Pete's re the American volunteers saying 'it worked for us'. I like your take on it

Re Mr Salmond standing down.. I've just seen the same advertised for Ch5 news

Bit puzzled as to the meaning of Dave's and Joe's posts. I hope I didn't mislead you into thinking there was something more to his response than humour - perhaps I should have mentioned that he said it with a huge grin on his face! He's a committed anglophile and I think just about the only thing he doesn't like about this country is the strength of the pound against the dollar - his pensions are paid in USD.

So I'm still regarded as a upstanding member of the forum then..

[DaveB]

But of course Joe

No Pete.. I realise the comment was made by your colleague on the spur of the moment and was probably tongue in cheek

Lost my bet....just as well I didn't put my shirt on the result!!!

At least the Scottish pretender had some decency, good for him.

Yes .. and now I'm probably in a shite load of trouble.

Or will I be saved by the rule.. What happens in forum stays in forum.

[DaveB]

A good rule. I'm sure Jethro Gibbs has it in his list and if he hasn't, he should!
