Scottish independence - yes or no?

[????]

I think it would be better if the panelists were 'accidentally' shuffled into The Apprentice and the apprentices 'accidentally' shoved into Question Time

[stacey-lyn]

or all shipped off to Chantelle's flat, given a bucket of KFC, a packet of fags & await the next alien abduction. If alien spacecraft are anything like the 185, they may be waiting ages but then 2 will come along at once.

They should try to get the alien cat queen (a Whitby Labour councillor's lover - and he has the drawings to prove it) on next week's QT. Maybe they can get both of them on.

In case you missed it

I'm available the morra tae answer the big questions, get in early, ootside The Bishop between noon and two. After that I will be seeking opinions on Lion Bar versus Picnic.

ETaeA: I do a Barry Sean Connery impression.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Resolved. Lion Bar.

[uncleglen]

I thought Barry had a small 'b'- unless it's Barry Road. Or Barry McGuigan, or Barry Humphries. Or even Barry Sheen? Joke about Sean Connery- He got more than he bargained forwhen he asked a girl to 'sit' on his face- you have to say it in the style of Sean Connery!

This!

(based on who I know up there, the only ones all for it are my lovely extremely left-wing and member of the green party friends who are from London, both took early retirement and settled in the Highlands. Don't know any frothing at the mouth Nationalist Scots. I agree with Quids ' point - I wish they'd stop blaming London/the City for EVERYTHNG).

Fuck independence, on a more serious note, I haven't heard of a BarryBarry Race this year. Or have I missed the posts?

[MrBen]

Rumours are that, like Glastonbury does after 5 years on the trot, they're having a fallow year.

I don't know about you, but I for one will miss the annual call to arms of "Greetings sports Fans" from SurfBobby this summer.

[StraferJack]

I was speaking to HmB at the weekend and suggested I might put a date in the diary for a Barry Wander - basically a mini pub crawl to mark the occassion but without any of the organising, running or effort

Start at the Plough, down Barry Rd, probably veer to TGE and Actress? and then back to Barry Rd at the Clockhouse

[Help-Ma-Boab]

That sounds like a plan SJ. A nice wander and a bit of summer focus. Its always sunny on Race/Wander day.

Lasers set tae Malky...Strolling setting. AMBLE!
