Enigma Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 You know I will actually hold off on the drinking during this referendum until I know for sure that the vote is no, which is completely out of character for myself. If it's yes and confirmed, I'll will leave my house and just go out and walk about in it all for the entire night, take it all in and not return until the sun came up the next morning. Watching, talking, sympathizing with and hugging random strangers in what will be a one-in-a-lifetime moment would be something that seems to be too big to be taken in by any other means than a sober perspective. Walk up towards Gifford and you can come give me a hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobBairn1876 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 In college on the day and the day after so aye, I'll likely be involved in or at least witness some kind of riot no matter what the result is, if the first few weeks of the course are anything to go by. It's a journalism course so naturally there are some strong opposing opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanderlei Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I have found that so often with No voters. This isn't true for all of them, but there is a huge number of No voters who haven't read any facts and base their opinions entirely on what they've read in the papers and see on the television. Then, when you try and discuss it with them, they'd really rather not engage at all. It's almost as if they're scared of the truth, They probably want to avoid your repetitive, boring, independence patter tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 They probably want to avoid your repetitive, boring, independence patter tbf. Probably. I am rather boring, tbf. Why are you anti-independence? I notice you're a Rangers fan. Quelle surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Walk up towards Gifford and you can come give me a hug. I pretty much live in Edinburgh now buddy. I can meet you half way in Ormiston though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a journalism course so naturally there are some strong opposing opinions. Similarly here, I'm doing a Social Sciences course at college, politics included, so also a strong mix of opinions! Always stay up on election nights and thankfully I don't start college until 1pm on Fridays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Careful... are there enough lads about for you to feel safe here little paws? Probably. I am rather boring, tbf. Why are you anti-independence? I notice you're a Rangers fan. Quelle surprise. No surprise at all to see the world's more servile, deferential supporters hoping for a "no".

Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 In answer to the OP, I probably won't know the result until the following evening. We're off to Skye for the weekend for a wedding, via a couple of mountains near Kintail. Could be a hell of a party on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 If it's a YES vote I'll probably come onto this thread at some point on the 19th and see what folk are saying. If it's a NO vote I'll probably avoid this thread for a bit. I'm on holiday from the 20th anyway so can celebrate/drown my sorrows in warmer climes.

jmothecat Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Vote, then I'm pretty much volunteering for Labour all day, edited meeting with a few friends and we're going to continue with our election night ritual of an Indian takeaway and up all night watching the results. Normally I have a bottle of something nice in to celebrate with if my chosen side win the election (and save it for something else when Labour don't win), but not bothering for Thursday. If No win I doubt I will be excited or celebratory, just relieved and conscious that the hard work is about to start. I'll save the celebration for if Labour win next year.
