Er, not all the contents squire, the water can stay where it is

my point was that Scotland keeps hounding on about England nicking "THIER" oil, when clearly it is not, nor never was "Scottish oil", Scotland was just a handy base to start from. Plenty of oil rigs are nearer England than Scotland. (Not that they enhance the view, in fact your welcome to em)

Also left to the scots the oil would still be where it was, under the seabed..

Did someone mention Mrs Thatcher?

Best Prime Minister we ever had.

Not many oil rigs near Gt Yarmouth, or anywhere else in the UK sector of the Southern North sea. What you see there are natural gas rigs. That's the stuff that your country needs to get from the Russians every winter, in case you have forgotten. Just like oil, electricity and water - all of which England is short of and Scotland has in abundance.
Don't let your ignorance get derailed by the facts.

This remains as little more than an ignorant remark from an ignorant fool.
You have no way to know whether this is true or not.
Don't let that get in the way of your Jock bashing though.

Look, following HMGs wonderful decisive (and easy) victory at Culloden, we won all the mineral rights to whatever the jocks thought they had prior to that time.

Yes, taken by force in the time honoured English way, using others to fight the battle. Perhaps it's time Scotland rejected colonial rule, as the rest of the empire did years ago.

Should be plenty of money here to run the country.
We won't blow billions of it pretending to be a world power

no-one would believe yous if you tried....

BTW, if force is such a bad thing why did Wallace not stick to diplomacy?..(assuming Longshanks could understand him of course...)

Hot news - nobody believes yous either



Diplomacy with Longshanks was a bit like cuddling a cobra.
Chamberlain probably got the same feeling a few times

Gusmac, you defend Scotland quite well, how come its been invaded so often?




Mind you, apart from a vague claim on oil, a bit of coal, heather and bagpipes, what to fight for?

So the regiment reached the banks of the Nile and were pondering how to cross, Captain Carruthers called for a volunteer to swim across attached to a rope (to facilitate a rope bridge) and a private steps forward, 10 yards out a Nile Crocodile grabs the soldier and thats the end of him

A second soldier attempts the swim, he gets 20 yds out....same croc, same fate....

A brummie steps forward "i can do it" he proclaims, a rope is tied around him, before he sets off he asks for a copy of The Sun and a marker pen....

Off he sets

The crocs approach... but he stops swimming and reads his paper...the crocs back off, he carries on swimming.

He gets across, ties the rope off, and all the regiment get across safely

Later the Captain speaks to the soldier "spiffing good show old boy, but how did you do it? he replies "easy" and opens the paper to the page he had written on in big letters











Scotland win World cup




even a crocodile aint gonna swallow that

Iraq, Afghanistan, Nuclear weapons. All expensive efforts at being a world power. Seems your govt doesn't share your view.

To not have to share the same country as the likes of you.
A sentiment shared by all of England's neighbours

Too be fair, they all wanted to conquer it, not share it.
And they all did
