Did Scotland secede when I wasn't looking? I could have sworn that they voted to stay in the UK last I heard.
edit
Poorly written petition is poorly written. It was worded in a way to make look as if newly independent Scotland was past tense at one point. Proof positive that it founded by a mouth breathing kool ade drinking fanatic.

I'm no expert, but wasn't part of the reason why Scotland stayed part of the UK centered on the little fact they'd probably be almost as economically fucked as Greece if they left?

Really? I thought Glow was the board's sole Scotsman. Unless he's just being Glow now...

Actually I thought the reason was because Cameron offered just enough carrot to sway the majority of voters there to not secede. Whether those promises are more than just hot air or not may determine how the nationalist spirit proceeds. Rightly or wrongly there seems to be a preponderance of opinion that London does not give two fucks about the north which is forming the basis of that petition. I know nothing of Scotland's economics so I will withhold any comparisons to the (wholly dependent on federal tax dollars for their luxury) Quebec separatist movement until I can be arsed to actually research it.

Calling me Scottish might irritate me as much as calling Malcolm Tucker English irritates him.
It seems like Northern accents are ridiculously hard for foreigners to understand, too. The last Americans I spoke to over a mike while playing Assassin's Creed thought I was German.

I do can tell the difference between Scot and Irish, but only with practice.

Welsh accents are amazing. I dunno how anybody could hate them.

It's 1 AM, I have to be at work at 8 AM, and the Witcher Update I started so I could "just see the opening video" is moving slower than Bill Clinton through the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

God, I hate "showerthoughts".
They're just banal tidbits that blow the minds of simpletons who circlejerk over them online.

The titles of the new Planet of The Apes films.
Why does Rise come before Dawn of the planet of the Planet of the Apes? What kind of ape rises before the dawn?

A) I don't even know what quinoa is and B) I've been pronouncing it key-noah, which is apparently wrong.
