Results are only viewable after voting.
A job.

Harvest will be happening over next few weeks then I'll be hitting the fields. Am thinking of asking the farmer if I can camp there for a weekend, do detecting from dawn till dusk then get pissed and **** in a hole in the ground.

Sounds like my holidays in Ballycastle as a nipper in fairness.

Hope it happens for you <ok>
 
Any Scot who doesnt vote for independence is a ****bag of the highest order.

And why the **** Natural Born Englanders who happen to live in Scotland for the moment are being allowed a say in this I`ll never know. Its like moving millions of Germans into Poland and then having a vote on rolling the tanks in again.

Oh no, the fear of the future if we vote Yes!

I have more fear for our future if we vote No and have decades more of Tories and New, New Labour ****ing us at very opportunity until the oil runs out.

Man the **** up ER - even my burd's voting Yes and she's English and used to be a member of her local Tory party back in Hertfordshire.

That two committed scotch patriots appear to disagree over English people being allowed to vote on the future of porridgewogland.

Perhaps you could point it out then as I cant see anything about disagreeing about the right to vote being given to those who happen to be resident ?

Your words suggest that you are not in favour of it.
 
Alex the fat **** Salmond's hopes of keeping the pound in the event of Scotland gaining independence are no more than a "dead parrot", MPs have warned.

In a scathing assessment of the Scottish First Minister's blueprint for an independent Scotland, the Commons Scottish Affairs committee said that no chancellor could agree to share the pound through a currency union "without totally destroying both their political and economic credibility".

This comes after Danny Alexander, George Osborne and Ed Balls rubbished any prospect on behalf of the three main parties of a currency union being agreed to share the pound with Scotland if it votes for independence in September's referendum.

The committee praised the MPs for their "necessary clarity", explaining: "A joint currency would be against the best interests of both the continuing United Kingdom and a separate Scotland... also because the people of Scotland deserve to know, before the referendum, what the true consequence of their vote might be."

The MPs warned that Scottish independence, and the resultant loss of the pound sterling, would have "far reaching consequences throughout Scotland but nowhere more so than Scotland's financial services industry".

The committee urged the Scottish government "must move quickly to provide information as to how it intends to protect the thousands of jobs dependent upon this vital part of the Scottish economy".

Labour MP Ian Davidson, chair of the committee, said: "There will be no currency union between a separate Scotland and the continuing United Kingdom. No currency union of any kind: no ifs, no buts, no fudges, no deals. We have had complete clarity and openness on this from George Osborne, Ed Balls and Danny Alexander: from the leadership of the three main political parties in the United Kingdom. There is no shadow of doubt. All were unequivocal.

"The Scottish Government tries to give the impression that a currency union is still a possibility. It is not. This parrot is dead." :D
