The sign above the door says ..eat Br..ain.</p> <p>Or is that just the medication wearing off? </p> <p>Nurse! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68649 Thu, 19 May 2011 06:15:05 +0000 be reasonable 68649@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Part of the problem seems to be that all 'nations' are social constructions and that consequently there will never be unanimity of viewpoint on what constitutes that 'nation'. It seems inevitable that people who feel themselves dispossessed, disregarded or disenfranchised by the particular set-up they find themselves living in will seek alternatives. Combine that with politicians who are willing to evoke history and discourses of grudge and grievance in order to get their own names in the history books, and there'll be trouble.<br /> That's my tuppence-worth. Have a nice day. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68642 Thu, 19 May 2011 05:49:17 +0000 ronseal 68642@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I must be old fashioned, but I find the break up of the union a little sad.</p> <p>Mind you, I saw a hilarious cartoon in the Daily Express, by *JAK, about the Scots.

For hundreds of years they regularly nipped across the border bringing back as many souvenirs as they could. This tended to be mainly livestock and the odd woman. Apparently they could never find any even ones. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68620 Wed, 18 May 2011 21:39:31 +0000 The All New Jeni B 68620@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The Untied Kingdom - a land rich in national stereo-types and internal bigotry. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68617 Wed, 18 May 2011 21:35:28 +0000 Al OPecia 68617@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The new flag of the Untied Kingdom. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68612 Wed, 18 May 2011 20:40:51 +0000 waylandsmithy 68612@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hmm.

Let's face it, once the north sea gas runs out, what's the use of that bunch? Can't see the price of coal, leaks or slate going up, so see ya Wales. As for NI, Jeni you're welcome to it. And the Argies can have the Falklands too as there's not really any oil down there. Be nice to keep Barbados I s'pose. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68592 Wed, 18 May 2011 17:21:03 +0000 Ironduke 68592@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>we've got a big sore...stuck on the top of our lovely island, weeping chip fat and irn bru. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68529 Wed, 18 May 2011 12:59:21 +0000 The All New Jeni B 68529@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh joy...<br /> Honestly, if I could find a big enough saw, I'd do it myself. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68526 Wed, 18 May 2011 12:49:28 +0000 Pinhead 68526@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That referendum would make AV look like a close call! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=25248#post-68525 Wed, 18 May 2011 12:47:33 +0000 Ironduke 68525@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh, yippee!
