Outside chance of 1 seat, that's it! The sweaties are either Labour or SNP, so concentrate your fire on the marginals, that's where the battle is.

TTT I am trying to give you some advice as to your use (or rather misuse) of the English language. No threat intended,merely a word of advice that could possibly stand you in good stead,if you are conversing with people outside of your normal environment.

As we say North of the border "Tak tent fur yer ain guid"

What a silly palaver! Catapults at ten paces!

It looks like a catapult but it's just a friendly wave. :-)

Thanks SirO, I've been to Murrayfield and been on the lash with my Scottish friends, we have banter, no one spits out the dummy over usage of a bit of slang. I have Scottish friends in my club and rugby club, I wouldn't show them this, they'd *** themselves laughing over all the pathetic precious whining. Please have another referendum and this time allow England to vote. You'd better get the Ed to censor the S word because I'm not going to stop using rhymming slang for a few chip on shoulder popinjays with over inflated mis views.

Anyway rather than handwringing over nothing why don't you actually have a go at the original question? That seems to have been neglected.

Was that a 'some of my best friends are...' moment?

Why can't you just say Scots?
You know precisely what you're doing, we all know what precisely what's behind it and why you feel impelled to term Scottish people as 'sweaties' when talking politics.
As I said before on another thread, in order to maintain the equilibrium, call Pakistanis 'Pakis' and Chinese 'Chinkies'.
You know you're being derogaTORY and we know you are being derogaTORY ;)

mis views ?

[SirOracle]

Anneas.........Mis views and rhymming must be secret words used by members of Mensa. !! :-)

For goodness sake you lot have taken up so much time bickering and name calling that the thread might as well been called bickerfest.

More like Buckfast.
