Oh, no, I don't do that.

I do have home and NOK though.

How do you get through my phone's PIN number in order to find my ICE contact?

Well, that's interesting.

This phone had a pin, DH just kept pressing it and it let him in.

Thing is, the vote is over. A collective decision has been made.
Everyone has to get on with working together again (whether they voted yes or no, or didn't get a vote).

Absolutely agree. Scotland and the UK need negativity now like a fish needs a bicycle. Let's get on with it!:T

Almost as good a saying as "the early bird catches the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese".;)

Yep.

I'm much more looking forward to moving forward united and perhaps taking example for more control in England as our sister countries have in their home countries. Certainly the passion and interest shown is something we've been desperate for in British politics.

There's a rather worrying piece on the BBC website about the possibility of this not actually being the 'once in a generation' vote that Salmond and everyone else agreed it would be:

I've no idea how much it has cost to run this referendum, and democracy is a great thing, but if they try to re-run it in only a couple / few years then I really won't be impressed. :mad:

It's not really about "being right'.

For most No voters, it's more a visceral anger that total strangers wanted to inflict such damage on our country and it's people. For a vanity project.

It will take time for that anger to fade.

I can understand that as much as I can understand visceral anger that a bunch of strangers prevented my country becoming independent.

I hope the anger fades sooner rather than later, as I don't think its going to help anyone or anything. There are plenty of other things that threaten to damage our, thankfully intact, country.

Nobody had their country prevented from being independent.

We are all British. We were all born British. We've been British for hundreds of years.

Britain is already independent.

You might as well want to declare Pictish independence as Scottish...

I hope the anger fades sooner rather than later,.

It might, but at this point it's all still a bit raw, and I don't think it will.

Hope the weather is kind, and Generalissima has a wonderful party and a great time with her friends. Do you do party games or is she too old for that now? Have to confess never liked kids party games when I was a kid, and wasn't too keen when our kids were still kids either. Glad to hear you're having a fun weekend - you deserve some fun.

Thank you, what a very kind thing to say.

We're not having party games but that's because we're going to a soft play place. Ordinarily we'd go to a local park. They have free bbqs in them over here so you can do steak sandwiches for the adults or even attempt something a bit flash.
