Mr. Bojangles

There was a massive shift in at least one of the Quebec referendums in the last couple of months because it was only then that the majority of people started to pay attention.

Where are we going? Do we keep our neighbours in this new land? Nobody told me about this! It's more like working in a successful arm of a dying business. When the administrators come the branch you're working in is bought whole as a new enterprise by the workers. Not quite right, but a hell of a lot closer than what you came up with.

That picture of Lamont could easily be photoshopped with Milliband holding her marionette strings. In case anyone has some time on their hands.

Well, I thought we were being quite generous offering 50-50.

Yeah, but it's always going to be an extremely close approximation. The poll that you were bemoaning it's use in only had a difference of 0.1% or so. It seems like this is just something to moan about to get people to think that the other side is pulling a fast one while being able to claim what you're saying is technically true if it's pointed out.

Uh....if you assume they'll be 50-50, wouldn't it just have the same effect as excluding them?

Just filled in a big survey for Yougov. Asked a lot of good questions, but I noticed a question about a successful no vote and how confident I was on whether there would be lots of new powers; a few new powers or no change. Nothing about stripping powers. Still, I got to say I hated Nick Farage, so that was fun.

I do wonder what Cameron is willing to give up in his proposed negotiations to get a 'better' deal. I'm sure it'll be something that will have some impact upon London. We're all in it together after all.

Which the UK uses to go against Scottish interests in a multitude of matters for the benefit of the rUK. Fishing and farming the most obvious two examples.

Don't judge him too harshly. All his friends are leaving him.

I never thought of it at the time, but that is a little odd that they didn't. West Germany increased its landmass and population by around 25% with a wildly divergent economy. The EEC was probably even stricter than the EU for membership.

I was amazed when I heard Norwegians speak their native language for the first time. There were so many words I could hear that my dad (from Caithness) uses.

Yeah, Norway is about as close a comparable for Scotland as you could possibly get.

I think I voted before the second question existed. If I delete my vote, will I be able to vote again?

By what measure? I don't think I've seen anything that high other than measures on things like inequality.

Bure was the most exciting player to play the game.

They call it "How ick" though. Understandable. When I moved over here it did confuse me where this "Hoik" place was that people were talking about.

From the hockey forum I frequent all the big talk about fan strikes has abruptly ended and they're all figuring out which games they're going to attend. It is the die hards on there, though. It will be interesting to see what effect the smaller markets might see.

Looks like the lockout is over (again). 10 year deal this time so at least it'll be a decade before we have to go through this again.

When a pair of jeans gets worn out and starts getting holes in it I'm always glad when it's the knees that go rather than the arse. Makes me feel like I've been active.

I've got the same problem as yourself. That's why I was always goalie.

You know what they say about guys with big feet? Good balance. Maybe that's why some players have so much trouble staying upright..

I'm well aware he's just the mouthpiece, and the league has taken a marked upturn in revenue since the salary cap came in. It's just so hard to like the guy. Last time I was with the owners: the Cap was a great idea. This time they're only saying that they want more money. Nothing about making the game better. The players have said that if teams aren't making money they should do more revenue sharing rather than punishing the players for bad business practice by some team owners. So yeah. I'm with the players this time.
