If Scotland Declares UDI..........
Do you really think that somewhere with such a vile, wet, midge-ridden climate knows the first thing about barbecues?
Is it even possible to cook porridge, haggis and whatever else the wretches eat over a barbecue?
Standing around a lard-fuelled barbecue in their shortbread-tin skirts in the drizzle whilst swigging IrnBru waiting for the porridge to boil.
Sounds truly wonderful.....

CM, for the SNP, a republic was a core principle 15 years go. politics changes.
Faslane is as much a problem for the SNP as it is for Westminster - the senior people in the SNP are not stupid, they understand that the Trident boats will need somewhere to go on day 2 of an independant Scotland, and equally they've no wish to have '5,000 jobs lost at Faslane' as the newspaper headlines on day 3 of independence.
they have a 'public' figure in mind for the timetable for the move of the boats from Faslane to Devonport - 5 years or so - and a 'private' figure of 10 years or so. the political gossip however is that the '5,000 stable, well paid jobs in the west central belt' are somewhat uppermost in the minds of the SNP for political reasons, and that if unforseen technical problems mean that the Devonport move slips further to the right, they won't be that unhappy.
they know that there are other options for the Trident boats if they push too hard, and that if the rump UK were to take up those options - Kings Bay and Devonport - HMNB Clyde would close in a year, and the SNP would be in very, very deep political poo because of it.
they are politicians, and politicians want to get relected - tanking the economy of half of Glasgow is going to make that difficult, so they unlikely to do it if they can find a fudge...

Goodness, did some Torry slut bounce you one time? Where I come from there is a never ending supply of fresh trout and salmon (free) - the cat is sick of fresh fish. We have the fish lady comes round every Friday lunchtime having been at the fish market at 4am and her haddies are just lovely. I always get a couple of kippers in for brekkies on the Sunday before embarking on beer for the Moto GP.
I eat porridge nearly every morning - it's rice porridge with an egg added and fish sauce to taste. Far better than the Mel Gibson version.
Indeed, Mrs TT2 enjoys my pepper pork chops and wil avail herself to visit Sconnie Botland when the government get their arse into gear.
How can I prove a minimum income requirement when I live and work overseas, I only want to visit my ailing Mum.
The Britlag Embassy folks say that tax statements are not enough cos' they are issued from a foreign country : I have a feeling to go and find another copy of Catch 22. Probably cheer me up...............
Mind you, the prospect of 2 hours security and seventeen hours in a tin can with screaming nits is a good excuse not to go. (I write this as Mrs TT2 is fast asleep having had a run ashore last night with her pals - came hame bleezin' - funny as bits).
And, I like haggis. With mashed tatties and bashed neeps. Goodness, at the moment, the thought is better than sex..........

Anyway back to the serious debate ...
The heady aroma of Brent Crude heated to 190'c punctuated by the fragrance of battered Mars Bar being fried to buggery ... aka a "Jock Fondue"

if the idea of a Scots Air Force is hard a Scots navy is even more of a joke - you know it would look like the an tSeirbhís Chabhlaigh (the Irish navy to those non -Gaelic speakers) within 5 years

Eh?
Look Guv'- Ms TT2 is totally top totty.Goodness, any pilot or engineer would be well happy to have her on their arm. However, being Lao she will bite your arm off and then beat you to death with the remains.
It's kinda' like living with a Torry quine, but far more lovely and far less selfish. After 21 years kicking around SE Asia, she cracks me up - the ongoing '**** you' road show. We argue and argue, but it's just fun, learn the Thai / Lao 'Pye hoop pla' (**** off - Go fishing).
I don't mind, but I'd still like haggis, mashed tatties and bashed neeps.
For the pervs - touch her, you will have a problem.
Sorry, can't see a way to upload pics here.

Of course it could just be "banter" but the comprehensive nature of your diatribe suggests something a bit more deep seated.
