Woo! Yes! At last!!!!
That cunt Qatada is gone.

Good weekend? What is the week ahead looking like?

Alt: anyone else sick to fucking death of that tennis prick already?

I liked the rolling news coverage 'man gets on plane, plane door closes, plane takes off.'
The on the spot interview with an airport worker who saw 'someone' get on the plane who 'might have been him' shall stay with me for many years.

Alt: no, I'm not cool enough to be at the vanguard of proclaiming myself bored of something popular.

alt: seven pages of 'person plays game, wins' in the paper before any mention of those two shocking disasters
I just don't think that is right
(I helped save b3ta! Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 7:44, Reply)
It's not right.
I enjoy the tennis, and cheered when he won, but that's it surely? One page to get everyone who missed it up to date, and then back to proper news.

Also TWO air crashes in two days might be a tad more important than someone winning at a game

There are train crashes, wars and accidents all the time. A brit winning hit ball over net is the very definition of news.

Excellent weekend, thanks - three barbecues, two drinking sessions, a little light DIY and some excellent weather - what's not to like?
Abu Quatada's gone at last, maybe they'll deport some more hate preachers soon, fingers crossed eh!
Didn't watch the tennis and won't be seeing 'that tennis prick' on TV.

You know what Monty, I had a fairly fucking shit weekend.
Apart from Friday night that was lovely. It was Cowley road carnival yesterday, which is the street my pub is on. I knew it would be busy all day, but I wildly underestimated the amount of dick heads. I had to close at 10.30 as we just couldn't serve anymore as it became impossible to police where drinks were going as so many were shit faced. Glasses smashed, tables turned over, police in. Fuck people who can't handle their drink.

it was too hot, no-one could tie their ties properly or shockingly didn't wear one.

Nah fuck 'em. Leave them drowning.
They'll be begging for reunion with the next change in government. They cannot survive on their own. They don't have the economy. Most of the money that the Scottish use comes from Westminster out of taxes drawn from the substantially larger English population.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 9:49, Reply)
Plenty of smaller countries do fine, they'll be ok, they just won't be as good.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 9:50, Reply)
If you look at their economies, they're usually all oil producers, tourist traps or tax havens.
Scotland's none of these. The North Sea's only got a small amount of oil in it and Scotland won't get it all, tourism's their best bet and they'll have to overcome the rainy, frigid nature of their climate for that. Unless they become a tax haven, but there's a crackdown about to happen on that front.

Denmark is pretty much the same population.
They've got competitive taxes but I wouldn't call them a haven. Scotland aren't any way near as productive overall as denmark, but they do have some world class universities, biotech, electronics manufacturing and obviously whisky to export.

Er, isn't whisky the second biggest UK export after the arms trade, or is my memory playing tricks again?

maybe he meant "leave them drowning in whisky"
i guess whisky can be made anywhere though. ok so it won't be traditional scottish whisky, but it's not like a building or other site that can't be moved

perhaps it is, but most of the UK's income comes from financial services, not whisky or arms.

Salmond really hasn't thought that through.

He just assumed it would be fine and looked like an uberprick when our lot pointed out that we might not allow it.

And that guy in the EU pointed out that actually, no, they wouldn't be automatically an EU member country
and therefore wouldn't qualify for EU aid or the single currency. Certainly the EU doesn't need yet another economically shafted country asking them for handouts. Their entry wouldn't be a foregone conclusion at all.

I honestly think that they're better off as part of the Union.

I also think this.
As do most Scots I should imagine.

nor has he thought through how the money from england is going to be replaced
even in the short term, that's going to be like taking a rather large salary cut, and at the same time, having more outgoings and responsibilities.

Seriously though, is there actually the tiniest chance it might happen
Because I really really want Scottish independence.

Why on Earth would the Bank of England be willing to back a foreign country's currency
when that foreign country doesn't represent a sound investment? He's such a moron that it makes me quite cross.

Not to mention Scottish secession would fuck our flag right the fuck up.

i'm not sure if my trainee has the farts or a really rank breakfast
but my office has smelled like rank eggs since i walked in (and she was here first, smart-arses). what is the correct protocol here? does one suffer in silence, or mention it, or just spray a LOT of perfume?
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 9:51, Reply)
Open a window
Adding other smells rarely improves a bad odour.
(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 9:53, Reply)
we can't open the windows here
probably to prevent people from thorwing themselves out
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 9:53, Reply)
You physically can't, or you are prohibited from doing so?

(I helped save b3ta! tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 8 Jul 2013, 9:55, Reply)
physically can't
i think that's the case with a lot of the city buildings though; i've never been in one where they can be opened.

Just do a massive shit on a plate and leave it in the middle of the office floor.

I'm not sure how that will help but do it anyway.
