andrewducker- India is having a bumpy journey towards legalising homosexual relationships
- Cineworld installing vibrating seats. Would go well with porn, methinks.
- Is this the most biased opinion poll question ever asked?
- The Great Ticket Scandal - many concert tickets go directly to resellers for a huge markup bypassing fans entirely
- On Scotland being forced to join the Euro (it can't be)
- EU law will not allow Scotland to be excluded just because it's not part of the UK any more.
- Who owns The Bank Of England?
- A chance in a generation to modernise the Lords
- Key SOPA/PIPA Post Censored By Bogus DMCA Takedown Notice
- Can Scotland be independent and keep sterling?
Personally, I'm actually leaning towards having our unique currency. I suspect we'd drop by a bit, making us more competitive.
- Men and women respond differently to stress
- KLM links Facebook to seat booking, making it even easier to sit next to tall blondes. Hurrah for in-air stalking!
- Against Big Bird, The Gods Themselves Contend In Vain
- Labour set to back Lords Reform

It will take at least 5 years from any referendum to actual independence, and probably a good few more years to setup a new currency so there will be plenty of time for banks and individuals to sort themselves out.
