A bit of truth in humor

I really love it when I can make a person smile

.......and as THIS thread hasn't yet been locked I'll just carry on the speculative sequelae of Scottish independence by saying, while seriously 'locked' towards the bottom of a bottle of 12-year-old Tallisker (Isle of Skye Malt) that when 'WE' take over, the wearing of kilts for men North o' the border will be.......
Compulsory!

Since the locked thread has been mentioned here I'll note that I've been enjoying getting a vicarious ground level look at an issue that, though of interest to me, I'm too far away from to take the time to search out. The thread may have been sitting under a hammer, but, to be honest I'm a bit disappointed to see the hammer actually fall.

Do you have any idea how much that thought appeals to me? In fact it may be one of the things I try to do when I get a chance.

Since there is comment here about the locked thread, I posted what I did because skrtngtdy was making statements that he couldn't possibly corroborate which then appeared to more like propaganda. If the debate can be continued on a more even level, including posts that are stated to be personal opinion and not including wild statements about what other parties will or will not do as if they are fact then I would ask ncl l to unlock the thread as the run up to the referendum could be very interesting and possibly even educational. The Yougov poll ( at least I think it was the Yougov poll ) appears to indicate that support for the Yes vote appears to be swindling. Failing that I will bow out of the discussion, gracefully.

There is an interesting article on the methodology of the polls on Scottish Independence and the results that they produce here. However, please bear in mind that the article was written by one polling organisation about results published by another...

I feel sure that this will be held up as proof of dirty tricks by one side of the argument and held to be propaganda by the other. [Sigh]

Have fun,


Ian.

I noticed that the locked thread was beginning to turn nasty. I have seen this sort of thing in other forums. A thread turns into a series of insults, almost like a tennis match-back and forth, back and forth.

To Dennis - -

The "Thread" will not be unlocked No where in the discussion was there any
reference to skirts or kilts. Thus - - No Political Discussions.

Please refer to Rule 2 HERE.

Yes, it WAS a bit interesting but was spiraling downward.

I've seen what this type of discussion can do to a forum and where it leads to.
It Ain't Gonna Happen Here, not under my watch

We all do a little bit of "disturb the comfortable" every time we go out in public wearing anything other than the expected trousers. My bare feet also give some folks fits. In both cases, it's their problem, not mine. But I can't deny getting a warm fuzzy feeling sometimes knowing that some narrow-minded person is squirming inside because I'm not "properly dressed" to their expectations.

Oh - totally off-topic, but I love your pentode avatar

Tom

If it becomes compulsory I will insist in wearing the kilt back-to-front...

[Kirbstone]

Please yourself. P, At least that way you won't crease the pleats when you sit down!

Tom.

Thanks ncl l I can abide by your decision either way and I understand.

Fini.
