xbl Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Mr Rational came by and announced that some wifie had been given "abuse" (unspecified) after attempting to hand out balloons to children, or something like that. I think he reckoned the situation was under control because they were "fucking cowards" and that the SNP had some "big lads" at the event. So its possible that the group of neds were issued with a kicking but we haven't heard anything further. I stated that I'd have dismissed her summarily (using colourful language possibly) if she had attempted to foist balloons on my kids. And a Motherwell fan called me a "shitebag" and I think he offered me a square go. I'm not 100% certain if he did as I haven't read back. I think it was inferred that these neds were Better Together unionist types. A few of the nationalist clown collective in here were then slagged off for being SNP balloon inflators, and there was a bit of faux outrage as you'd expect. Apart from that, not a lot. So, pension figures? Still waiting. Its been several months now. What happened to the "fun" you were going to have releasing spoilers, and then your big reveal to "humiliate" me?

renton Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Didn't answer my question. So, you expect Osbourne and the BoE to set their position in stone but the Nats are allowed to chop and change depending on what direction the wind is blowing. It's pretty much the other way round. YS and the SNP are supposed to know exactly what tax levels and interest rates ar egoing to be in an independent Scotland in 2030, at least according to BT, whereas Westminster refuses to set out any kind of concrete proposals on what the Union will look like in the event of a No vote.

Heidthebaw Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Why would they do that? They would just set out their terms for allowing it post secession knowing they have new Scotland over a barrel Cameron has stated that there will be no pre referendum talks and the economic boot is on Scotlands foot as the rUK need Scotland in the sterling zone . As a freely traded currency they have no say on it..That has been pointed out before on this thread. Do pay attention. Reynard all you have to do is decline the offer of a balloon you don't have to be a knob about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Coming from the deflector in chief? I'm still waiting of evidence of me being "caught" lying. If it helps HB, I will not keep myself quite at your level. When you provide my quote of what I actually said, then I will answer your question. Can't say fairer than that, right? After all, without the quote, I could have said anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynard Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Were they proper helium ballons on a string or were they shitty ASDA ones on a plastic pole with YES written on it in marker pen that gives the false impression of "floating"? I wouldn't want the latter because you couldn't make a small incision near the knot to let enough helium out so I could inhale it and tell them to f**k off in a Joe Pasquali type voice.

renton Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Really... in what way does rUK 'need' Scotland in the Sterling zone? I don't know that they'd 'need' Scotland, but there would surely be a bit of an readjustment if that part of the UK's GDP associated with Scotland were no longer trading in Sterling, thus affecting Sterling's value? It would be, I think, in everyone's best interest to maintain a short term currency union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as it didn't come with too many strings attached from either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any objections to Brian Quinn's credibility on these financial matters? credibility on what...he isnt really saying much he did say this though clicky In a paper for the Edinburgh-based David Hume Institute thinktank, Quinn said that while sharing sterling and financial regulation with the UK was the best option for Scotland, it was a solution riddled with significant difficulties So he admits its the best option for Scotland will be a currency union...just that there will be some hurdles to overcome... still dont see why a unionist would be trumpeting this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
