Big Ben

[piratelassie]

I hope Scotland is independant before we are told we must help pay for the under pinning of Westminster,s Big Ben. The cost would be formidable.

[mi16]

Probably not as formidable as the Scottish parliment white elephant.
I hope we are never independant.

[RecQuery]

I hope we can get through one week without another spurious Independence discussion cropping up where all people do is recite their prejudices and existing opinions and nothing changes. I think it's become a ritual at this point.

Stop panicking! "Professor John Burland of Imperial College said the lean should not be a big worry for at least "10,000 years".

[John Little]

Well it might lean after a couple;...........

As long as it leans to the left!!!

[teddybear1873]

Waste of time if you ask me.

[Phill]

Would Tesco's opening hours be affected by independence?

And what I wanna know is, if we do go independent and nause up the Union, who gets lumbered with Wales? Us or Them?? :Razz

Aye I also noted the silence from the Welsh nationalists, perhaps they know something.

Depends on how you look at it...

Don't be cruel, you two.

I think I see where the problem lies (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8U42boLotss/Taqv8uh9POI/AAAAAAAAADk/l7UeicnspwU/s1600/garfield_leaning_on_big_ben_wallpaper_-_1280x800.jpg)... :D

Whatever next, how can Scotland go it alone? Alex Salmond???????

[RecQuery]

Have we really got to the stage that we're correcting grammar and spelling. In my experience it's usually what people target when they don't want to, or can't argue.

[John Little]

I blame the Scots.

Big Ben is clearly flinching away in pain from the blatant stereotype flaunting itself underneath...

[Saveman]

All Scottish men dress like that. Every day. No matter the weather or occasion.

Now, where's me shortbread?

[Phill]

Now, where's me shortbread?Would that be deep fried?

If smothered in batter first, then yes of course.

Piratelassie - you managed to totally misquote my quote! I was not the one who mentioned Scotland being subsidised, I was merely joining in the fun by correcting the spelling of "Westminster's" in the quote made by "the one". And yes, I am inclined to be pedantic but only in my head; I do manage to restrain myself most of the time. :lol:
