    It'd be interesting to see an uninhabited Island claim independence, but there are arguments over it's use as a marker for fishing grounds, due to it being uninhabited, and it looks like the UK is liable to lose some of the area.

    I don't think you understand this independence malarky. You've spouted some ****e about some of the other outer isles wanting it, when that's not what they're asking for. They simply want a bit more control, as they don't want to be totally governed by somewhere very remote from them, that has other things to consider beyond their interests. I'm sure a principled guy like you would back them on that.

    There's an Easter Island big heid style statue on Rockall. Nobody knows that except prehistoric people that eventually colonised Campbeltown.

    That's got to be ****e. I've been to Campbeltown and there's no sign of human life.

    It's the Danes and a bundle of others claiming the sea around it. Us Nigels are trying to hang on to it, as at least it'll provide some sort of nourishment to the jockanese paupers.

    It's actually shared. Ireland got the bit that pokes out of the water, with the rest and the seas around it split between Denmark, Iceland and Britain.

    It amuses me that the Scots want to be independent but they want the UK government to pay to enable Scotland to survive.

    Wait until they find out we've been keeping a slate, and we'll not take them dodgy Scotch notes either. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I think my neighbour's making some toast. I can smell it wafting through the window. My guess would be Tesco bakery, wholegrain, well-done and lightly-buttered, having been toasted in the finest SMEG on the market.

    I hope so anyway, or my house is on fire.

    I saw a Japanese porno once that consisted of a woman peeling back a foreskin and licking the cheese that had accumulated around the glans, then puking into a bowl for another woman to drink her vomitus.

    Now, every time I hear 'arigato' I get a semi

    It was you who was spouting shìte about outer islands wanting independence from Scotland and how they would take their oil and fishing waters with them if they got it.

    I had to point out to you that you were talking shìte in all sorts of ways.

    And lo and behold...you still are.

    To be fair to him, there were reports a few years ago about councillors in Orkney and Shetland positing the idea of the two islands becoming Crown Dependencies if Scotland were to secede from the UK. Not that that means much, of course, but still.

    It's in Scottish maritime waters. It's closer to Scotland than Ireland but it's Irish?

    Aye ok then.
