But that was because you invited us all to that little place in Leith where you got yourself totally out of your brain and then bought me sixty-seven wee drams before totally denying that I was there.
Terrible decision - I look forward to anyone trying to get round the gridlock that is the M25 or the London Underground trying to get to the Olympics in 2015. I also look forward to the rest of the country paying for it, despite having no discernable benefits whatsoever. I'm also pissed off that despite riots happening in Scotland this morning, we had no coverage of this due to that tedious arse Seb Coe doing a speech on all the news channels this morning. An absolute farce, and I'm sure it's not only Scotland that thought this was a complete misjudgement of news priorities.
Btw - £20 per household for the olympics as reported of News 24. Get to f***. I'll be paying £20 less this year in tax, and they can throw me in jail if they want. Time for independence I think.

i don't think many english people would be sad to see the back of the barnett funding formula which siphons off millions of english tax payers money north of the border.

£20 per LONDON household in Council Tax. By the tone of the rest of your post I'm guessing that won't cover you?

2015?!! As bad as the traffic can be around London, I don't think that a 3 year delay is likely.......
If you want rid of us then give us independence. Fine by me. But for some reason England won't do it. You could easily argue that the money raised by north sea oil is a good enough reason to keep Scotland - I don't know, I'm not an economist. However I refuse to believe that the English government would keep us a minute longer than we were profitable to the UK.
I have no qualms with the people of England - I think we could quite easily co-operate as independent countries like the USA and Canada. I tend to believe however that we would be better as separate countries for exactly the cultural and media problems we've had today. There would be less of the 'chip on our shoulder' crap (ie a lot of Scottish people blaming England for our problems) and England wouldn't believe that Scotland was for some reason holding them back, or ruling them (nonsense, as all policies are aimed towards the vast majority of people who live in the M25 area).
Scotland has had its fair share of dodgy decisions btw - the poll tax was introduced in this country a year before the south of England. Our industrial heartland was ripped apart by the Tories. We suffer endless references to 1966 in any football tournament, and we're currently suffering the olympics crap and will do for the next seven years. It doesn't just go one way you know.
As far as I'm concerned London can shove its olympics up its arse, and I'm sure it's not just Scotland that feels that way. Many other parts of the UK, aside from the M25 media zone, will agree.
I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the London2012 Olympic Bid until fairly recently. And last summer, I was dead
set against it, thanks to the government's controversially wrong decision to scrap funding for the Metrolink extensions,
but (almost in the same breath) vowing to waste £10billion on the (IMHO) unnecessary London Crossrail project.
Eitherway, the successful London2012 Olympic Bid campaign will now effectively guarantee that a badly rundown
area of the London's EastEnd not very far from the former BIG Breakfast House) will get a much needed revamp.
