It doesn't really speak much to their editorial control that they would employ a racist bigot in the first place.

Not really interested in conversing with a tone troll and/or alias. Don't address me directly going forward, please.

Having glanced back, yeah, you're probably right.

I know what you mean but people shouldn't think like this. Saying you're not allowed to feel bad because people have it worse than you is like saying you're not allowed to be happy because people have it better than you. The only experiences you can have are your own.

I'm absolutely stunned that another smirking, know-nothing dope on here has turned out to be a Rangers fan.

Good on you. If you were convinced by debate and research then a lot of people you know will be, too. Once you get them out of the "too wee, too poor" and "I pure hate Salmond" mindset it's a complete no-brainer. Turn a hard no into a soft no and you're three-quarters of the way there.

This is very true. 70% is approaching landslide territory and statistical models allowing for simulation of hundreds of elections would return very, very few losses for that side.

Don't address me directly, racist #undece #jel

It's because the high street is for mug punters.

5.1 is the current price - the lowest at which it traded is 4.8, and that was a couple of months ago. Recently it was stuck around 6, and now it's back down to 5.1, with a very small amount (£18) available at that price. Not that it matters since it's a completely diddy, illiquid market at this point that is indicative of very little. By 8pm today the Leeds-Wigan game will have more on its match result market than this referendum has had so far.

KING OF ANGLIA!

I thought we wouldn't be able to afford embassy buildings, plus we're going to get vetoed from the EU by Spain anyway, so we shouldn't really get ahead of ourselves. We can maybe have a diesel train to England (allowing for delays at the heavily-fortified border) to carry essentials such as mail and scallops.

International law didn't come into reunification itself at all. It was all handled by the grundgesetz.

Low-information voters will side with No. That's why it's absolutely key to get the facts out to those who need them.

Excellent article and it makes you wonder precisely what BT are fighting for.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the substance here but in the case of Germany/West Germany, it's not so much that Germany inherited the FRG's memberships. It's rather that Germany is West Germany under the German constitution (aka Grundgesetz, aka Basic Law.) There was an article in the Grundgesetz that allowed for the creation of a unified state: this wasn't used. Instead West Germany absorbed the former East German states and renamed itself. This wasn't a merger: it was an absorption. There was nothing for 'Germany' to inherit because Germany is a rebranded West Germany. And I did this at Glasgow Uni so you know it's right. edit: sorry, I see now that this was covered. So basically it's totally irrelevant as to what will become of Scotland, which we know anyway, i.e. Scotland will join the EU from the inside.

Good thing their bunfieldery is completely irrelevant.

You said on the other thread that the Spanish were going to veto us. If you weren't sure of that why did you say it?

My wife and I returned to the US from a holiday in the UK on Friday, and we met her sister and her sister's boyfriend for dinner. We were talking about the UK in general, and my wife raised the point that the number of armed guards and shop-an-immigrant sentiment and the sheer hostility at the airport was really shocking to her. This isn't something we'd ever discussed, i.e. this was with no prompting from me whatsoever. To put this in perspective, she's from Texas. Just let that sink in.

If anyone wants to talk about depression they can PM me, incidentally. That goes for anyone.

I know we've had our differences on account of your appalling choice of political party, but: 1) agree totally with Rowan - get sleep sorted first. Your body needs it, and it also sounds like you would benefit from being awake and (preferably) outside during daylight hours. See a doctor if you can't get it under control. 2) I have had the same feeling of being a bother to everyone, but like you say, on an intellectual level you know it's not true. All you can really do is hold on to that, and if you're getting that vibe specifically from someone, you cold just ask them. It'll be awk as f**k but you'll feel better when they tell you you're being an idiot. Good luck!

Nah, proper ones. Those friendlies are a false economy.

The only way United should be looking at 3m is if there's a fuckload of addons.

I'm also not one for New Year. Try just to avoid it, I guess.
