Blaven Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It was a new Kingdom. The mere fact of being a Kingdom has no bearing on the naming conventions for your monarchs. So we could call her Queen Elizabeth the II of Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 If it was me I'd always refer to myself as the Queen of Jamaica. It's just much cooler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So we could call her Queen Elizabeth the II of Scotland? Yes, but you'd be wrong. There's no such thing as the position of King or Queen of Scotland, nor does any legitimate monarch style themselves as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will her title be after independence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Someone on my Twitter feed has said that Betfair has Yes at 14.2% likelihood to win. I have no idea what this means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joozy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Someone on my Twitter feed has said that Betfair has Yes at 14.2% likelihood to win. I have no idea what this means. Pretty much if you take the odds and invert them it gives probability to win. For example, something at evens (1/1 in fractional odds) implies that the chance of success (CoS) is 1 in 2. Therefore it's likelihood to win is 50%. Yes is currently trading at around 6/1 on Betfair. It's CoS is therefore 1 in 7 - likelihood to win c. 14%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you like about joozy (for example, he fled the forum when his central role in the laundering of Nazi gold through the Swiss financial system was revealed) but he can explain gambling to someone who knows nothing about it like a pro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Less than 50 days to go to the big vote. Polls still the same? Who's right & who's wrong? Nearly time to find out........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Less than 50 days to go to the big vote. Polls still the same? Who's right & who's wrong? Nearly time to find out........ I'm just kinda looking forward to it all being over now. One way or the other I just hope whichever side wins ends up being the best for Scotland in the long run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nobody here cares enough about the UK to take any notice. I'd imagine it's about as newsworthy in the yoo ess eh as the Commonwealth Games. Apart from Obama, who leaned back in his chair, flashed a knowing smile at wee Dougie Alexander and said "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
