  1. I was under the impression that there was going to be 3 of them, with the next one being on the BBC.

     

    This could be wrong, but I'm not currently willing to Google the words "Scottish Independence Debate" as I fear what it'll come up with.

  2. I do agree the whole thing was very off putting, both sides unable to answer some key questions.  It probably succeeded in convincing many undecided voters not to bother voting at all.

     

    I'd agree with this.

     

    Thought Salmond was a bit crap.

     

    Darling was significantly better than I've ever seen him.

     

    The only thing the debate seems to have done is to get both sides to dig their heels in deeper.

     

    Hope the next one is better, otherwise I'm gonna have to cut myself off from all social media before I kill somebody, probably myself.

  3. It's a domestic airport only. From memory the only way to San Sebastian by air from the UK is via Bilbao or Biarritz.

     

    From the UK I'm pretty sure you can connect in either Madrid or Barcelona.

     

    I'm no expert though.

     

    I've also learned today that I'm going to Barcelona then weekend before 'The Classic' - terrible timing.

  4. If folk are voting for independence just to wind up the huns then we really do live in a fucked up country.

     

    As for the currency and not caring what it is, just ask the Irish - the Euro has been a complete disaster.  The Yes campaign don't have a Plan B if we can't use the pound sterling, this is still the clincher for many people.

     

    The Yes! Campaign offered a Plan A, B, C & D for currency, so you can hardly legitimately complain there isn't a 'Plan B'.

     

    Claiming the Euro has been a complete disaster for Ireland is also being rather over-dramatic. The Irish themselves are as much to blame as the Euro for the mess they managed to get themselves into.

  5. Park & Ride was a bit of a joke yesterday,

     

    I turned up 2 hours before the start of the athletics and still missed the start. Was told there were no bussed because the Rugby had finished early.

     

    Load of pish.

     

    Hampden really is a terrible stadium.

     

    Really can't be arsed heading down again this weekend for the Closing Ceremony.

  6. Bonus of Scotland's voting yes number 236. Being able to sing "you're not British anymore" at the Huns.

     

    'Britain' is a geographic term.

     

    You'll still be both British and Scottish regardless of how the vote goes.

     

    I couldn't care less about currency, as long as it can be used to buy food and the like, I don't really care.

  7. Aye, Tyrant - you've forgotten the best part of your trip....?

     

    Rated Groningen as a destination, their team is pish though. Their 'mob' was also an embarrassment, they ran so fast I almost spilt my G&T.

     

    Langfield has been reliable enough the last 18 months or so, but we can and should have somebody much better than him.

     

    Gutted to not be making Spain this week.
