    Absolutely right - and it's the same down here though quite obviously nowhere near the same degree. I actually feel sorry for Scots in Engalnd as every bugger keeps asking them their opinion!

    I respectfully disagree. The vast majority of people who tuned in last night will have already made up their minds. Most of the SNP folks I know were planning to watch it so they could see Salmond wipe the floor with Darling. Yes Scotland were even organising Debate Parties where you and your friends/family could get together and watch it FFS!

    Nah, the real battle is taking place away from the mainstream media.

    My missus is undecided and has changed her opinion a couple of times.

    Last night edged her closer to a No vote.

    She's a married mother of three with a pretty high pressure full time job so she doesn't really go to the pub and no-one in her workplace talks about it, it seems.

    Thing is, the majority of "real people" I know have jobs and weans - any time they're lucky enough to get to the pub, they don't want some **** sullying their vibe by talking politics.

    I'm only speaking on behalf of the only other adult I live with and it genuinely swayed her.

    I think what bib is really trying to say is his Missus doesn't go to the pub because he's always in there and someone has to look after the kids. <whistle>

    I'm genuinely undecided but the currency question is bullshit. IF we vote for Indy then there will be a currency union but what's the point in independence then?

    Bascially, we want 100% autonomy but you decide huge contributory factors regarding how our economy performs.

    Tough Titty really.

    It was inexcusable of the Nats to arrogantly assume what they could and could not keep without doing their research.

    No alternative plan is a schoolboy error and they have misled the public on so many issues and blatantly lied. You reap what you sow. And Fatso getting booed is what happened.

    Never mind, let's concentrate on the aliens Chubby.

    With just a simple possessive apostrophe and a decapitalisation of one letter, a withering putdown becomes a plea for mass scrutiny of an extra-terrestial stauner.
