Well, you said you wanted a job. :O:

LO...not after my final signing come Friday :sunny:

Problem with that is we'd get everything north of the Tyne! That includes a big chunk of Newcastle......:D:03:

Mike.:O:

You get to keep the kilts and we'll settle for the coal :03:

I personally don't care if Scotland becomes an independent state or not after the referendum. I Only say this

Think twice, before you make your decision, whatever you are for an independent Scotland or not.

You can put back the stones your ancestors pinched to build Newcastle with then. :O:

They were used to build your ancestors prisons :smug:

The Scottish government will be able to issue its own bonds to investors in 2015 as well as having the ability to set its own Scottish income tax rate.

Salmond is still not entirely satisfied and reckons only full independance will suffice.

Nah, we don't need coal. We've got wind, and lot's of it. Must be true, there's been enough wind turbines popping up everywhere since the SNP came to power.:shifty:

Not exactly major, increasing income tax has been on the cards for a while. They haven't done it as Scot's don't like paying tax anymore than the rest of the UK does. They'd probably lose votes. The bonds option will probably go over most people's heads, unless it's explained properly.:hmmm:

Mike.:)

Well Salmond must be the source of it all :O:

Quite possibly, as I'm sure a few may have been Tyneside villains. :know:

Is that from the baked beans or the politicians?

Salmond :)

Smoked or fresh?

Tinned.

I'm getting beside myself with worry.

If Scotland vote for independence Britain won't have a curling team at the next winter Olympics.

Probably poached :)

David Bowie: Scotland, stay with us.

Pack your bags folks, looks like all 5m Jocks are off to New York!

Alexei Salmon, Jacobite King in waiting and a descendant of William Wallace is set to charge down with a broadsword on horseback with Catalonian mercenaries and take the pasty faced Sassenachs by surprise when he wins the Independence referendum next spring :doh:

Watching the rhetoric heat up on both sides, I'm finding it more difficult to see how relations between the UK and Scotland can quite ever return to the status quo after the referendum, regardless of the vote.
