Maybe I'll live big and buy a bottle of my favorite - Lagavullin. And throw on some Fish.And the moral of the story?
Single Malts. Preferably an Islay.
Stay thirsty, my friends.
Aye, naw yer tawkin'! La-Ga-Vooo-Lin, th' Geud Stuff 'tis!

I went with Laphroig actually. Just drank a toast to Scotland and Thomas Arena. Slainthe!
Christ...I felt like I was trapped inside Wallace's heid...I mean, head.
The holy trinity on the southern coast of Islay......Lagavulin, Laphroig, and Ardbeg. Now that is Heaven
I recall at one of his shows I saw in the late '90s, he spoke briefly about some recently enacted measures that gave Scotland a degree of home rule, and mentioned how he thought they'd eventually "go the full 10 yards". I think the only reason I remember this is because he got the American saying wrong.
It's all over with a resounding no, after all the panic.
Thanks, Obama.
Another notable Scot artiste has done so even more actively. Sean Connery is one of the flagship on this issue.
Hopefully they will prevail. Scoland (a genuine country for almost 1000 years) deserves its full legitimacy as a nation
I've certainly drank a few drams in the recent days.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
^They haven't prevailed on this occasion. It wasn't a humiliating defeat but a clear defeat nevertheless.
I kind of feared so that it wouldn't happen, because of the fears thrown (boycots and such) by the naysayers.

What did I tell ya? And I'm so pleased the UK remains intact. The UK is unique in being the only remaining multi-country state in Europe, if not in the world. The USSR, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia all divided, and then it went even further and Montenegro broke away from Serbia, and then the Caucasian countries started splintering and warring.
Fair comment, but East Linton (beautiful part of the world) is not Glasgow, where some unfortunate scenes have been all too common. Fortunately, the mentality of the football terraces which seemed to be so evident has not been the prevailing mood, and the emphatic margin of victory will perhaps ease some of the tension, whereas a very close vote could, and I only say could, have been a little more volatile. It does give me pleasure to be able to say that so far, your faith seems justified. Nevertheless, we have seen this event lead to probable change in the UK political structure to a degree already, and with the commitment reinforced this morning, I still feel things will never be the same again, but not necessarily worse.
Respect to you my friend, and to all of you other interested people who have commented on the subject
Dude seriously are you that far out of touch and clueless? Did you not see the Scottish flags flying at the Camp Nou in Barcelona and all over the official buildings in Basque Countrty in the pet few days?
PS get ready for the England First, Enoch Powell-National Front type of backlash. It's coming. And by English people, I'm sure they don't mean, you know, those darkie Caribbean and South Asian types.

Who the fck are you & what the fck are you talking about?
What do you mean about 'boycots'?
It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that banks and companies that do most of their business in the rest of the UK would be pretty much obliged to move significant parts of their business out of Scotland. Similarly, it was obvious that there were major questions over currency that the Yes side had no answers to other than a blind faith that the rest of the UK would form a currency union. There were good reasons why this could not be relied on, not least of which is that, as seen in the EU, an effective currency union can only work with political union, which is precisely what Scottish independence was moving away from! It would not have been possible to sell a currency union to the rUK electorate (remember that there is a General Election coming up next year).
Spain is a multinational Countrty and the UK is not the only one left, as you strangely claim. Guess you have no clue where "Barcelona" and "Basque Counrty" are.
You are completely wrong. You are the one with no clue, ya muppet. The UK is made up of 4 distinct countries. Spain has regions that want to breakaway, they are not distinct countries that want to break away, as was the case with Scotland, and as was the case with the USSR and Yugoslavia. Get your facts right before you start attacking others.
Well this thread took an unfortunate turn. Very sad.
Yes it did, with this comment to me from Singh: "Dude seriously are you that far out of touch and clueless?"
And to be honest I'm tired of constantly ignoring such personal attacks. Time to bite back.
This is what national politics does - instead of uniting people, it tends to divide them. Personally, I'd rather see people united than divided. but this whole Scottish debate has been divisive and I would like it all to stop and for everyone to get back to getting along (and not just here in Scotland guys)
Don't forget the Vatican City State, which is not part of Italy.
Ya muppet.
Indeed, no need to divide. England Prevails!
