Quoting exnihilo from 13:19, 12th Dec 2006 In fairness, that original BBC article said she offered her condolences to his widow and children. You're right, the unspeakable old bitch. Oh, wait, no, not right at all. Of course she should offer he condolences to his widow and children, it's called bas...

TCT strayed into personal territory regarding Thatcher, but still the 'fucking respect' Steveo says should be accorded is difficult to give when opinions on her - and Pinochet - are so deeply entrenched. I agree, TCT, about the lack of respect her government showed the Argentinian sailors on the Bel...

Quoting Gubbins from 17:28, 11th Dec 2006 Quoting McK from 13:23, 11th Dec 2006 She has become a sad figure; Thatcher has nothing more to do than lament the death of old 'friends' thesedays. Isn't that what all old people do? Anyway - Pinochet: did lots of good things, but lots of bad things at the...

This is quite interesting, if anyone is still interested in the original debate.

Quoting Iain from 12:13, 3rd Dec 2006 Quoting flarewearer from 04:49, 3rd Dec 2006 Quoting Iain from 09:22, 1st Dec 2006 Flarewearer. You've made a personal accusation against me regarding my motivation and it's a piece of rubbish. I'm not here to be told I'm something I'm not without justification...

Quoting Gubbins from 21:13, 2nd Dec 2006 Quoting McK from 13:32, 2nd Dec 2006 The other petrol station never seemed to do very well, it was perenially empty. At least, it was once it closed... :P While it was open it seemed to be used about as much as the other one. [hr] ...but then again, that is ...

The other petrol station never seemed to do very well, it was perenially empty.

I remember getting a bloody nose on the forecourt after a drunken fall back in the heady days of '99.

Quoting AlenWatters from 06:02, 2nd Dec 2006 Quoting ljrmorgan from 01:17, 2nd Dec 2006 Its very difficult to actively support the "status quo" that people keep harping on about. The phrase itself has quite negative connotations for a start. Is everything perfect in Scotland right now? No. Does tha...

Quoting October from 02:55, 1st Dec 2006 Quoting flarewearer from 01:32, 1st Dec 2006 I've never been to "the south" (and by that, I take it you mean Dumfries and Galloway) Excuse me but... WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT MENT TO MEAN!!! I'm from that "south" as you have so nicely put it. And I shall tell yo...

Odysseus I take your point about dependency culture. You are right to identify it; it is a crippling element of our society up here. However, to say that voting Labour out of power will remedy this is just nonsense. The pre-1997 promises Labour made should be ringing in a lot of ears here, as the SN...

Quoting Odysseus from 13:47, 30th Nov 2006 Quoting Steveo from 13:35, 30th Nov 2006 You don't need a reason to keep the status quo, but I'll give you one: BECAUSE IT WORKS FUCKING WELL FOR BOTH COUNTRIES CONCERNED. [hr] . That'll be why Scotland is one of the unhealthiest nations in Europe, or why ...

Quoting Odysseus from 13:17, 30th Nov 2006 Quoting TCT from 13:07, 30th Nov 2006 'Colonial masters'? Odysseus you seem to be displaying the well-worn 'chip' that so many nats burden their shoulders with. Bravo. Unionists are not scared of a referendum per se, but they may be wary of the number of m...

Quoting Lid from 16:01, 29th Nov 2006 Is The Queen a UK citizen? Surely citizens of the UK are subjects of The Queen. [hr] We are not drunks, we are multi-millionaires My passport says 'British Citizen'. Doesn't mention me being a subject (anymore). As Head of State she is not a citizen in the poli...

Quoting AlenWatters from 15:15, 29th Nov 2006 A referendum on the monarchy post-independence? So, who would be head of state in the interim? I would support keeping the monarchy over some elected head of state, personally, if I did have to endure the agony of an independent Scotland. And you are ri...

Quoting AlenWatters from 13:26, 29th Nov 2006 Quoting exnihilo from 23:29, 28th Nov 2006 Rising support for independence among young Scots, curiously at the same time as standards of teaching and academic attainment plummet. A general ignorance of the past, an unwillingness to hear new information,...

Quoting October from 11:53, 29th Nov 2006 Quoting DrAlex from 11:41, 29th Nov 2006 And so what of the land she owns in Scotland? [hr] "Listen to DrAlex."-Polli http://standrews.facebook.com/profile.php?id=37100343 She owns land in Scotland? [hr] I'm Telling you. It was the Ninja Robot Monkeys that ...

Quoting AlenWatters from 21:33, 28th Nov 2006 But for me, having had discussions and done a bit of research into various independence movements throughout Europe (ok well N.Ireland and Catlonia), I cannot see what the great problem is. Borders are coming down everywhere, and there will be no more o...

Quoting ljrmorgan from 21:24, 28th Nov 2006 One can only imagine the effect on industry, academia (how many English students are at St Andrews for example?) Actually there would be no problem with this. Indeed, English students would probably get a better deal. The free movement of students is cove...

Quoting Odysseus from 17:22, 28th Nov 2006 Quoting Malcolm from 13:44, 28th Nov 2006 I'll reply to ascii anyway, because I read what was there before it got deleted. I'm not totally anti-Scottish, I'm just not anti-English; I'm just sick to the back teeth of the unjustified England bashing that see...
