The effects of the Scottish Referendum

It's Monday 15th September, a few days away from the voting day that decides if Scotland remains in the UK or go it alone.

There are many backing both sides with all sorts of reasons. I think most of them remain ignorant of the most important factors for a successful independence.

Economy and Infrastructure.

Friends and family (at least some) are at each another's throats. This issue has caused more arguments than good causes for the country of Scotland.

I will let you know my vote...it is a NO to independence based on a few things.

1) Scotland's main sources of income is dominated by revenue from the North Sea Oil...Whisky export...and taxation of All Working People.

There are other factors too but isn't large enough to be significant.

North Sea Oil WILL run out...revenue will then cease.

Whisky export will continue long after the Oil but it ain't going to be sufficient.

Taxation of the working...50% of entire Scottish population can't possibly contribute enough tax to feed the elderly, disabled, ones on benefits/welfare AND themselves. You can't spend £/$10 as if it was a £/$20. Simple math really...

2) The infrastructure DOESN'T even exist! If Scotland is to go solo...where is the tax system that will take the place of the UK one? Where is the Scottish equivalent of the DVLA who sorts out car tax and registration? Where or who is going to fund the MASSIVELY in debt NHS? The working people that's who!

3) There's talks of using the Pound Sterling as currency...flip sake!!! You may as well NOT be independent if you still want to keep that!

Or

A new currency...Scottish Pound or something like that...ok...WHAT will it be backed by? Scotland...we have no gold reserves...no silver...no commodities to back a new currency with! As for Oil...probably won't be enough to trade with...

These are only 3 of the most thought about factors...for myself...plenty more from where it came from.

Alex Salmond, you sir haven't thought this out AT ALL, NOTHING IS IN PLACE!
I'm a Chinese who was born and raised in Scotland...I love Scotland too much to let you screw her up the arse.

Scotland CAN be independent but not under your pathetic...unorganised way of doing things. Until my 3 concerning factors are answered to a highly satisfactory degree...you ain't getting my vote.

NOW FUCK OFF!!!!

Tuesday 18th December

I have been drinking for almost the whole week...about 4-5units a time and have noticed that its not good for me...I can't think straight, I can't focus, I am losing motivation and its getting very depressing. OK, my ex girlfriend has got a new boyfriend shortly after the break up...it hurts. Deal with it better! OK, there's this girl I like but doesn't feel the same...it hurts. Deal with it better! My best friend, Adam, you are an irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Thank you for being there when I needed somebody the most and for giving me good enough reasons to hang on to what is left of my sanity. Now that I've sobered up a little can I realise that I am the one stopping myself from progress of any kind. With the Xmas period round the corner, a few drinks will be fine, then afterwards I'll go 2 months without it and see what happens. During this time, I'll catch up on the reading that I have to do and get my "to do list" knuckled d...

Its all coming back! :D

Oh Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Remember a month ago I screwed things over a bit with Michelle? After many messages and persuasion, I managed to be "dating her"...I'm not entirely sure what  actually happened... Last Wednesday we had a lunch date...then I asked if she wanted to come with me to look for a new car...I choose to go back to my old place of work (Citroen and Seat dealers), saw a good number of old colleagues and my old manager! We greeted and had a catch up...then they offered me AN ASS KICKING EPIC DEAL... So i bought a car...Seat Ibiza, 1.4litre engine...140 break horse power with a decent 60mpg......in black... Life is pretty sweet just now, (almost) girlfriend and new car...needing a flat to call home :)

Ballocking from the manager...

It was Sunday 1st September... Work usually starts at 12pm on Sunday but because it was the first day of the new reg plates for cars, everyone came into work early. As my colleagues were very busy with delivering cars to their clients on a tight schedule...I was left to do odds and ends such as greeting customers and taking them out for test drives. A couple came into the showroom and wanted to test drive a Seat Ibiza....my mentor told me to grab the company's trade plates and the keys for the requested car. So off I went to grab both items...I've been here for just over a month and know pretty much where things are or where they should be...however...I not able to find the trade plates... What happened earlier was another colleague of mine had done a test drive with a customer and left the trade plates in that car...long story short, he didn't put the keys back onto the board where they're usually kept, I couldn't find them, my manager gave me a ballocking for n...
