  1. faggy pubs smelled nice?...hard core! I bet you lick the carpets when no one is looking....

    ps' date=' in small amounts, the sun and alcohol are actually good for you (this week).

    I agree about cars, they are next, I hope.....water powered cars, but would exxon and BP and halliburton let that happen?......[/quote']

    I alwys thought there was something warming about cigarette smell. It reminds me of pubs in the Lake District whn we went camping and it rained.

    But then I like the smell of wet dog so you should probably ignore me.

  2. A few points:

    You're confusing "well educated foreigners" with Yanks there. Everyone knows their geography lessons extend to "Engerland is made up of Britain' date=' Whales, Scotchland and Northern IRA-Land".

    Whatever Norway have done, as well as concentrating more on our high-fat dietry issues perhaps (England couldn't give a fuck - they don't even HAVE macaroni pies).

    Everyone knows Gordon Brown already has Britain lending stupid amounts of money, and our education system is far superior to England's already, without ANY more money being spent on it.

    I dunno about that, but I DO know that without Scottish oil, England would be crying themselves to sleep. Probably.[/quote']

    We don't force you to eat them! They look like maggots in a cheese sauce. I dunno how anyone can eat them. In what way is the Scottish education system better than the English? The poor eductaion up here is one of the main reasons for the bad health, as it is everywhere.

  3. Scotland would perhaps lose out financially because nobody has heard of it. Oddly, even well-educated foreigners use the term England to describe the whole of the UK. I'm never quite sure how this happens, given that there are so many Scottish people living abroad and loads of people come here for their holidays.

    It's hard to see what would Scotland would do if they went independent. Many of those small, seemingly a bit rubbish countries of Scandanavia, and places like the Faroe Isles seem to be doing pretty well for themseleves, although levels of personal and business taxation are very high, and with ageing populations they might struggle to maintain such a generous welfare state in the future. Scotland would really strugglke with that at the moment, with such appalingly low health levels that seem impossible to increase substantially.

    They would have to take out huge loans based on future oil/gas revenues I think to pay for the sudden increases in spending they'd need to boost eduction and health levels. And taking the entire UK economsy into accont, being something like a trillion doallr economy or thereabouts, oil is not so huge an input, in the 70's for example, the cost of council housing alone soaked up most of the oil revenue.

  4. Wrong. Considering that the SNP make quite a lot of noise about immigration being needed in Scotland' date=' they're probably one of the least racist parties out there.[/quote']

    See, that's what confuses me. While the politicians might rightly say that immigration is needed, many SNP voters I've met have been small minded anti-immigration types.

    As for Scotland leaving the Union, it would find it hard to balance the books. If you wanna drag oil into it, it;s not Scottish oil, it's British oil, so you can't guarantee on that for income. Besides, production peaked years ago. I can't see there being a bloody civil war breaking out over it, I;m not sure if people are that bothered about it.

  5. A club's a club' date=' shouldn't really matter where you are, s'long as you're up for having a good time. Liquid's always busy and most folk in there are up for a laugh, I should probably go there more often.[/quote']

    I'd rather go somewhere quiet, or with some sort of a soul, and not have to look at slags all night, or get guys with short-sleeved shirts giving me angry stares all night.

    Maybe I'm just weird like that.

  6. I don't think it was the "smell" of smoke that us non smokers were worried about....

    I don't think sniffing piss can lead to cancer of the lungs (blah blah)....

    as for me' date=' I piss in the trough, I've not been that pissed to piss out of the trough...I'd advise going to a different pub if it smells of piss...[/quote']

    You're gonna get cancer drinking alcohol, going out in the sunshine, breathing traffic fumes, etc. etc. At least the faggy pubs smelt nice.

    There's a time and a place to promote good health, the pub is not such a place. Open a bunch of non-smoking yoga classes instead.

  7. I've not been out to a pub/club since the ban, but I'm informed that you can now smell the piss on the floor of the gents throughout the entire building, and so now everyone can know this pleasure.

    Tell me, it there one guy who goes round every bar and decide to foul the floor in the lavs, then leaves for the next, or are there loads of these grotty men about? I wonder what thre houses are like? Whether or not their bathroom floor is coated in dried urine, or if they have employed/married some nameless woman to wipoe up the mess they make?

  8. Ah the stereotypical Aberdonian Nedlady with 2-tone skin. Tanned shoulders and white legs and a Mitchelin spare tyre which' date=' for some strange reason, they flaunt[/b']!:up:

    It's to let everybody know that yes, even you can get me no problem.

  9. I think you need a humour transfusion......o_O

    Sorry, but I'm with this Dave fella on this one. As an english person living on Scotland I've been subjected to my fair of 'racism' or whatever you want to call it. It maybe a joke when between friends, but not when it's a bunch of strangers on a forum.

  10. Thank you for pointing out the kind of people we're not interested in. Your opinions are valid unto yourself but we're not looking for musicians who criticise fellow players and who are not open to the ambition and experimentation of others.

    On that note' date=' Craig B, why don't you send us a link to your bands site, to let us judge you?

    Once we have music uploaded you can post as many comments about our abilities as you like, until then we would appreciate it if people could be a little less negative.

    Anyway, Newbeatz, in answer to your question, we are currently in the process of writing/development, but once we have any tracks recorded then we will upload them onto our Myspace.

    And our project, Dave Officer, is a collaboration between currently gigging bands, those in development, accomplished musicians and most importantly, the audience.

    Generally speaking a band is comprised of a core group of musicians who play together under a collective name (of course with the occasional line-up changes) whereas our project is of a changing disposition, any two songs might contain completely different musicians, there is no attempt to retain an individual lead over proceedings.

    Thanks for your interest

    With Compliments, Matt[/quote']
