    You don't know what you are talking about. The world's biggest bookmaker is now bet365, based in Stoke, who take bets from 'grey' jurisdictions all over the world - every time a government blocks their domain they simply create a new one and email/text message clients - they are also our biggest competitor in the Asian markets we are focussed towards. The UK Government doesn't care because they pay UK taxes.

    The oil is in UK waters. So how does that work according to international law.

    Not to mention Shetland's interests.

    Presumably all the no voters still live with their parents because they are too scared to move out and try to make it on their own?

    Because when you use the un's standard for marine boundaries its mostly on our side of the border. Even if you use the crooked version the english favour which sees the marine border closer to dundee than berwick its still mostly ours.

    And as for shetland, come back when you're serious.

    Are you not currently better off than your parents? It makes sense to be in control of ones own affairs and you know it.

    I am serious about Shetland.

    They want nothing to do with Scotland or the UK.

    They will also go for independence.

    Nope. My parents are better off. Mortgage paid off years ago and not going through a divorce.

    There is no Scottish sector when it comes to marine boundaries ...

    Do the Norwegians make the same cliams?

    Have ye got divorce lawyers involved?

    If ye can, make a seperation agreement between you and the missus. You don't need lawyers for that.

    And it should remain a seperate issue ... it's no Slamond v Cameron, it should be for the leaders of the respective campaigns to debate - Darling v Somecunt

    I know. It would be the best thing for the Yes campaign if Tory boy got involved. Mind you, Darling has all the personality of a shop dummy so he'll do instead.

    Look, I'll be honest I am as yet undecided.

    Mainly because both sides are coming out with bullshit and presenting the facts to us. We're not idiots, we can make our minds up.

    Cameron is a tosser as is Milliband and Salmond.

    Neither side has yet to come up with a convincing argument one way or the other.

    They are all at it and have their own vested interests.

    True enough but it is Scotland v the Tories in many ways. We rely on the Scottish vote to get Labour in. No Scots = England ruled by Tories forever.

    We will be truly ****ed <wah>
