Agreed: that is rotten luck. Getting closer though.

Does anyone have any intel on Prestwick you could share, please? Chippies (especially ones with good mushy peas, a Nottingham speciality I recall), sights, anything.

Sorry, Brew. None of your points stands up, but I cannot devote more time to proving this. If you'd like to organise a face to face debate, I'd be up for that, however. Best wishes.

I Many nice day trips in Weston super Mare, but beware that beach which I nearly sank into once, trying to get to sea. Imagine drowning on the beach, not even the sea!

The evidence: where do I start? Scotland's history, its natural resources, its educational system (remember, since you keep accusing me of assertions without evidence, I cited its 4 universities to England's 2, with a 10th of the population, for 400 years)., etc, etc. The onus is on you to produce evidence, since it is you who are denying the fundamental human right of national self-determination.

It's not difficult. Scotland - Scotland, no less - is more than capable of independence. All your points are pettifogging rationisations of the status quo. If you lived up here, you would see how silly you sound!

Well, I'm still waiting for Barcelona to sign me up. Have been for 40 years and counting...

I live only a few cabers' tosses from the Falkirk Wheel. Wonder of the modern age, to be sure, to be sure...

Sorry, didn't know you didn't support Forest--not a preposterous guess on Nottstalgia, albeit Notts County is the team with a longer history....

Nice mask, Beekay. Do you you think Forest will be promoted?
