change your attitude wrt indyref2. if you believe it will happen, you can probably convince a couple of your mates it will happen, maybe even get them positive enough about it that they convince a couple of their mates it will happen....

A severance of ties with the westminster elite, yes I fully understand that desire and if that is the reason a Scot seeks independance then all I can say is good luck to them.

However, whilst I'm not accusing you of this Donald because I have absolutely no idea why you want to be a part of The EU, anyone who wishes Scotland to stand alone because they despise the detatched metropolitan elite that rules over them from afar yet also want a "free" Scotland to be a member of The EU is highly, highly confused.

FWIW political discussion is aids but I really couldn't help myself.

^ correct. i forget exactly how much alistair downing's (pro-union) number crunchers said it would cost each scottish taxpayer to leave the UK, i think it was somewhere like 100/month. I'd happily pay that to get a government that scottish people actually vote for, and so would most of my pro-indy friends who work regular jobs. I'm not mad at westminster either, if i were a government i'd spend the vast majority of my time worrying about the most prosperous, populous part of my nation.

When he said £100 per month that's for every man, woman and child in Scotland, not just every taxpayer (it's actually more than that now anyway). So if you want to pay extra it'll be far higher than that. Not gonna say anymore in here though and aids up the thread but I'm happy to discuss it in the politics forum.

What I post in here and how I speak to friends/what I write on FB are a million miles apart. I'm realistic in here, but when it comes down to the "real world" I will be as positive and enthusiastic as possible. We have a few IRL mutual friends that were big no guys last time, and are now strongly considering a yes vote.

Husker of course you voted no, you're a Rangers fan!

In all seriousness, I have no issue whatsoever with your political standpoint; a lot of people on both sides were far too pushy with their opinions last time, but that's definitely not me. I'll argue my case, and I'm sure you'll do the same, but live and let live etc will read your post soon, but I'm as big a Yes man as they come.

                  I'll be voting aye. Know loads of people who voted no last time that have since changed their mind. Feeling positive about it.

                  I've had a truly awesome few days in Prague. Really awesome city, great nightlife, beautiful scenery, so glad we came. Saturday night I have never been so drunk in my life, took 12 hours sleep to rid. The theme of the weekend has been a general agreement that Remco and I are very fortunate to have so much freedom for our mid 20s. Very important to remember that when things aren't going so well, and to also stay humble.

                  Remcos hardcore snoring woke me up at 7am so I've come out myself and climbed a really big hill with paths all around it. Currently sitting on a bench overlooking all of Prague at 8am, will try post a pic but my phone won't do it justice.

                  Struggling to think of what to do/where to go next. I love living in London but the idea of coming to live here for a month before WSOP came up, and that is something I really hope happens. We will see what develops. Still massively missing my ex girlfriend, so could just as easily move home haha.

                  Flying home tonight, despite my best efforts to get Remco to jump on a bus and go see Austria for a couple of days. Claims he misses his car, I think he's sick of the sight of me...

                  Picture really really doesn't do it justice. Lovely view.

                  I won the league in two different countries.
                  I'm not English, and have not played in Germany.
                  I have won the World Cup & Champions League
                  I have played with Kaka and Robinho, but I have not played with Ramos or Messi.
                  I was managed by Mourinho, but not by Guardiola or Ancelotti.
                  Who am I?

                  This is driving me mad...

                  Also, not sure there's any need to state he isn't English when it includes winning the World Cup
