Not sure what your point is? I'll be going over to spend time with family and friends at important part of our year, celebrate our kinship, good food good grog, good laughs, what's not to like!?
My point is you just completely contradicted yourself.

I'll condemn those that commemorate or align themselves to those responsible for the murder of innocents in pursuit of their political goals
You say this then you say you're going to Ulster for the Orange parades? What in the name o' f**k?

Theresa May said a Labour government supported by the SNP would be the biggest constitutional crisis since the abdication of king Edward. Unlike Coburn she is not some no mark fruit case, she is Home Secretary.
And a total übercunt

I'm not keen on the production on Animals - it's a bit dry and stark for my liking - I like the polish that Alan Parsons gave Dark Side.
There is some brilliant stuff on The Wall.
I haven't heard a lot of Waters' solo stuff, but there's a great joke about Andrew Lloyd Webber on Amused to Death!
I've heard a couple of shorts snatches of music from Endless River - I think on Facebook - one of them sounded very nice.
Here are some YouTube links, in fact - hope they're ok: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=endless+river+pink+floyd
Radio KAOS was ok I suppose, but Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking was self indulgent, depressing drivel, as was the wonderfully titled Amused to Death. I loved all of the post Barrett Floyd stuff for many years and still do. I still listen to Dark Side occasionally and Wish You Were Here, but after The Wall it's clear they just burnt right out and fucked each other up in the process. After that they all lost their spark and post Waters Floyd was just slow, tired daddy rock. Maybe a wee bit harsh, but f**k it

Animals, clearly the best Floyd album, closely followed by Dark Side.
Didn't like the latter Walters ego trip stuff like The Wall or Final Cut.
Agreed. Even though Waters was and no doubt still is a total w**k, the band lost all of its energy after he left. Don't think I'll be buying that one.

MPs don't want foodbanks to be used as a political weapon. Fancy that.
Stop their existence and you stop them being a political weapon. Simple as that.

It's been total bombardment from the Yes campaign. Nothing wrong with that, but to then complain they've suffered at the hands of a biased media is hilarious. Like Scottish people are apparently too thick to make up their own minds.
If Scotland had social media in 1979 it would probably have been independent from then.

This is what makes me laugh. Project fear. If one side is going to propose something, the other side is going to counter it. I don't see any problem with the No campaign pointing out the negatives of independence. It's not 'project fear', it's realism.
Project fear, team Scotland v team Westminister, overly happy presentations and cute kids in superman outfits. It's all that nationalist bollocks to deflect from the issues.
Oh aye that's right there has been no evidence of bias from any source eh?

Brilliant! Haha. I'm amazed how easily fooled people like you are. Nationalism man!
Fooled by who? I can speak for myself thank you very much. Something to aspire to is always going to be better than slipping into apathy, don't you think?

Aaah the classic fingers in ears la la la approach.

Ah right. Perish the thought it's actually because they don't want Independence eh?
I'm judging this by my encounters with No voters, and this is a conservative estimate. In fact it's probably as much as 90%. To deny people have been put off by fear is nonsense.

I think this is nonsense to be honest. Whether it's a Yes or a No vote, people will get along with their lives quite happily. It really will make f**k all difference to anyone.
I love the pretence that a No vote will lead to growling in the streets and utter seethe, whereas after a Yes vote people will all be skipping along together with daisy chains.
Eeeeeh no. Given that what I think must be 75% of the Scottish population are not happy with being governed by Westminster, but too many have been deceived by the lies, propaganda, manipulation and spin and are too scared to vote Yes, I predict that the voting figures will plummet, and Scotland will be more apathetic than ever, due to the hopelessness and futility of their existence in this union. Whereas with a Yes vote, I can only see the momentum being carried forward, with those that voted Yes being determined to make it work. I speak for myself here because I most certainly will and will ask that others do the same. There will be a revitalised political landscape with a clamour to be the first true Scottish government for hundreds of years.

See when people start using evidence and facts? Does my heid in so it does!
Evidence and facts have gone right out the window as far as today was concerned from the No camp. I'm sounding like I need a tin foil hat here but it wasn't about facts today. It was about a propaganda machine at work.

The extended STV news had a 'panel' of three doubtfuls in Dundee who were all veering towards NO. Everything else we are hearing and experiencing suggests this is bullshit. How do they pick these folk?
I'm beyond sick of this muck from these b*****ds. It's just been a constant drip drip drip of manipulative, orchestrated shite.

I thought it was going to be the part when Jeremy Vine suggested that Faslane might get hired out to the Russians.

Classic example here :

Scroll to 27 mins and listen to Ian from Burnley.
Quite literally jaw just dropped. Almost speechless.

Many thanks. To be honest my head is already done in with this. Seriously thinking about unplugging from the news coverage as I'm finding I'm getting more and more disgusted with it. My mind is already made up and nothing from the no camp is going to change that.
I'm not far behind you on that. Today's parade of nauseating, orchestrated, unadulterated muck has just melted my brain. It's a fucking barrage of sycophantic, condescending, manipulative guff that has completely taken over the media. The negativity towards Yes is disgusting. this is half of the population we're talking about here getting rag dolled by an incessant wave of biased crap.
BUT, on the other hand, I'm thinking that the postal ballot may just have come a bit too early for these wankers, and their panicky tsunami of patronising let's have a fucking British football team SHITE may just have been a bit in vain. There is still hope alright.
I feel better after that

I must say Hedge that your photo of Harvie was probably the highlight of the last debate. The look of genuine shock and revulsion after Ruth Dykeidson compared Scotland to Ukraine said it all.

Its a real shame that the clown collective in here have decided to scaremonger about the Toooreeeessss!!!!!! winning the next general election and attempting to run with the "scotland never gets the government it votes for" nonsense. Scotland will vote Labour at the next GE and will get a Labour government. I'm not sure what that does to the tired looking dear leaders votes to governments he actually got ratio, but too bad. Its just another thing the NCC have made an arse of themselves about.
How do you know this? Did you predict a Con/Lib coalition the last time? What's to stop the dreaded Con/UKiP coalition from happening or Con/Lib happening again?

This mentality puts me off YES in a big way, YES people are noble and patriotic and only want the best for Scotland and anyone who doesn't agree is looking after no. 1 and is somehow unpatriotic. I would have thought it was counter productive to be honest, if people are getting labelled in a negative way like this I would have thought they wouldn't be too likely to soften their attitude towards YES and it reeks of back slapping and "wha's like us" cliqueyness.
I don't know where you get this from. You must be talking to the wrong people because I don't think I've came across this kind of attitude from anyone. On the flip side Yes voters have been labelled xenophobic Bravehearts, and voting Yes is fueled by a hatred of the English. What utter drivel.

This is part of the problem with this forum (and internet forums in general). Someone who says something that is generally disagreed with is described as 'vile' and given a stupid and child-like name. I think Lichtie is wrong on this issue - but we are all wrong some of the time.
What is it about the internet that forces grown ups to act like children ya big jobby?
FIFY

The Lib Dem cock sucks may well have a say in the next parliament so regardless of whether Tory or Labourtory "win" the next election, The LibDems will be all too happy to do a rim job to be the government beatch again.
