Much consternation in the household about this.  The missus is in a tizzy.

The short answer is, too close to call.

The family is divided here. Not so much in Scotland.  The In-Laws are all for independence.

Blood will tell, and as I'm descended both from people who fought for Scottish Independence and people who fought to conquer Scotland, my instincts were pulled in both directions. I favor an independent Scotland, but instincts inherited from ancestors who fought against Scots objected. Our ancestors live in our DNA, and their memories and voices call from our blood. This is the reason conservatives and liberals smell different (see topic on this), and why dogs of different breeds have very different behaviors. And this is the reason one shouldn't seek to have children with people of races different from your own.

The gap was too small, the questions remain unanswered; the tolling of the division bell has begun.

I'm still trying to figure out how a "country" so addicted to the dole thought they can support themselves financially. They have some oil wealth, but Saudi Arabia it is not. Their oil revenue has fallen in half, from 12 to 6 billion just in the last two years. They were just pissed they weren't getting ALL of the oil money PLUS the extra support from Whitechapel.

Well, at least my Scotch won't be tapped to make up the difference now...

I thought of saying something pithy, like "Oh go fuck yourself you ignorant prig" but thought better of it.  It's obvious you know fucking little about what you talk about.  I'll leave it at that.

This song was one of the main contenders to be the national anthem of Scotland. I'll have a hard time not thinking of it as "Scotland the Chickenshit", or, as John Oliver called it, "Cat Bronchitis in A Minor".

Careful there, big guy. It's not always wise to talk shit with people who throw telephone poles for fun.

Have you fucked yourself lately?  I assume not and you are kindly invited to go do so now.

It won't be necessary for you to report back on the outcome of this event.

I like Scotland Depraved myself. This isn't exactly the lyrics I learned, but it's the same idea:

"How did you enjoy the referendum?" asked Scottish comedian
Billy Connolly. "What a load of shite. Whatever your judgment
you're going to end up with politicians."
