'Skintland'
You may or may not know that Scotland is voting in September to become independent (or not) from the rest of Britain. The pessimists feel place names may need to be changed if they get a 'yes'.

Look on the positive side James. Unemployment in the north of England will fall to ZERO as we rush to rebuild Hadrian's wall.

Well, most of Scotland is already under water anyway, so why not finish the job?

Grzylyrg tried that once. To become independent from the universe. But verse two was created.

Do you want repatriating James?
I heard it's fairly painless now, and once the bandages come off, you're expected to be up and walking without a sporran in 3 to 4 weeks.

Oh yes, no problem. Until the electricity goes off. Which will be about 2 weeks after the vote.

While we're at it, we should re-draw the boundary just below Middlesbrough and give 'em all that's above it too. The only purpose of those places is to make the Scots think England is a bit of a dump in the hope that they will turn round and go back home, so we won't need it any more.

On a serious note, supposing Scotland does become independent, how does that affect you mate? Some questions: - I'm assuming you'll remain a British citizen, so would you then be living and working in a foreign country for all intents and purposes?
- If you plan to stay there, could you adopt citizenship.
- Do you get a vote in the upcoming referendum?
- Will you get full voting rights in Scotland by residency, or will you still be entitled to vote in the UK?
- Whatever happens, can we still have all your delicious oil

If they vote no can we reinstate that verse in the national anthem about crushing rebellious Scots?
And Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon sound fishy to me.

I certainly get a vote in the referendum mate, that's the only question I can answer with any certainty. If Scotland want a resounding 'YES' though, they've missed a trick. They should have let the English vote.

And kilts. MacDougal to MacDonald (sticking his hand under MacDonald's sweaty kilt): What you got under that kilt laddie? (after a moment): Ahhh that's gruesome. MacDonald to MacDougal: You better watch out, it just grew some more.

What's the difference between a Scotsman and the Rolling Stones?
The Rolling Stones sang "Hey you, get off of my cloud!" while the Scotsman says "Hey McCloud, get off of my ewe!"

It's fun to have a laugh but this is serious stuff. If Scotland goes then Quebec will be all charged up and want another go here. To keep them on board we'll give them even more special status goodies. If there's a split there'll be tears. Good luck U.K.
