what to call this?

Visible to anyone in the world

I'm unsure.

I wanted to explain, in the way that the media wouldn't, what it feels to be here just now. I've messed that up, of course.

I talked, perhaps shouted at my old boss today, "can you tell me what s going to happen with our pensions?" He said.

"No",  I said. But a single sentence is not me.

"Can you tell me why ATOS took away my wife's disability allowance? Can you tell me why my niece has to move home because of the bedroom tax?" Funny, he was stushied.

He then concentrated on why I was being decisive. He had examples. He's a self-serving shite. Nice to be a winner in this game of life. Even if people close to you lose.

Why, why, why are we doing this? We're clearly atavistic morons, addicted to breaveheart, out to fuck-over the settled mores of society. Or are we?

This is a jump in the dark, we've never said anything else..

If you are in Scotland tomorrow, cast a vote.

Good luck, Nellie big grin, I'm envious, can we join you? Say as far south as Manchester? We could become part of Scotland, it's quite hilly around the Pennines and we do drink a lot of alcohol, like football, eat Mars bars, go to Blackpool on bank holidays etc. Whad'ya think? It could work..

Seriously, if the decision is yes and Scotland becomes independent I'll miss you but wish you well and totally understand why you're doing it. I also hope Britain will be supportive in easing the transition rather than petty and obstructive.

Hey Kathryn

I'm for it! I lived in Lancaster for four years when I was originally a student, cut me and you'll find a Lank. The problem is that we might have to give the tykes their freedom... wink
