Non-motorbike thread  I make bread and when people find out they always say: 1) Do you have a bread machine? and then a bit later, 2) Do you make it with seed mixes? What do people always say when you tell them something you do?

 The whole thread is a hijack! Locksmith just wanted to know how the result would affect him Interesting that you're happy with the anti-muslim hijack but not my throw-away comment on English

Thank you, and thanks for all your help especially during that long period of testing various incarnations of a new board. It's due to that help that the transition went as smoothly as it could.

"So, if you're interested in helping out by being a moderator"
He's actually just after a mod (or two), and a moderator helps by keeping the threads in the correct forum, deleting the spam, responding to reported posts (quite tricky sometimes) and perhaps by getting involved in the direction of the board itself.
In my experience a well moderated forum is a sign that it is alive and is a good way of putting back into the pot.

I was thinking more of east London and its proposed new road bridges. A few years later we'll have to fork out for new roads because the nearby roads are clogged, etc etc. Adding a 'shared use' cycle path to one bridge and calling it "bicycle friendly" won't change that

"three separate referenda in Shetland, Orkney, and the Western Isles" Well that's just poor English, no wonder they closed it.
Will an independent Scotland be allowed to keep the English language? Will they be seeking a representative on the Oxford English Dictionary committee?
But back to Locksmith's original question, how will an IndScot affect him...
There's dire predictions that independent Scotland would go into a depression, which would mean much economic migration from Scotland to SE England - more overcrowding, higher prices, etc. Of course that's only if you believe the predictions.
If Scots vote Yes and are no longer part of the EU (you have to believe that one too) then Dave could kick the Scots out of England and meet his "Net migration back to the tens of thousands" promise. I wonder how many Scots there are in London, compared with eastern Europeans?
There's also been comment that after a Yes result the UK's place in the world will be diminished (can't see why losing 5 million people would do that mind). So if there's a Yes vote and Dave wins in May then his renegotiation of our relationship with the EU would be from a weaker position and he would be able to get fewer and weaker changes. The people that Dave will be negotiating with will no doubt have seen how he has caved in under pressure during this campaign and will likely give up less during any EU renegotiations. Therefore he would be less likely to persuade the voters to remain in the EU come 2017.
There was some comment that a successful No campaign would see Alistair Darling appointed as Shadow Chancellor, replacing Ed Balls. Well he's probably cocked that one up already but a Yes vote will definitely see Balls staying. Given that Labour seem likely to win in May a Yes vote means Ed Balls for Chancellor of the Exchequer for us.
And a Yes vote would mean protracted negotiations between Scotland and the rest of the UK. This would naturally take a lot of politicians' time so they would be less involved day-to-day affairs. Whether you think this is a good or bad thing is of course your own opinion.

Didn't realise it was only six, but the next general election seems so close that 6 could make the difference.
If there's an EU referendum, and the vote is to stay within it, then I think UKIP's vote will collapse because their main policy (get out of EU) cannot be obtained any more. Although the SNP obviously has a more rounded policy set, having been in government an' all, still its main policy (get out of UK) cannot be obtained any more, so I should think support would dwindle.
Of course you're going to disagree as you're obviously a big SNP fan. We can only wait and see.

Scotland seems pretty pro-EU, so without them voting in an EU referendum there will be more chance of England/Wales/NIreland voting to leave. But perhaps your next question would be "How will leaving the EU affect me?". As mentioned, if they vote Yes then we will get more Conservative governments, but if they vote No then perhaps the SNP's vote will collapse at the next general election, and Labour will pick up their seats, meaning more chance of Labour governments. Our flag would change:  | Union Jockless |
(You can see I spent a long time on this)

I think it's about 10 years ago that I became a foc-u moderator, then a few years later an Administrator, then in 2011 I took over from TCat as head honcho. For 9 of those years I've had great fun and really enjoyed helping out. It's been an honour to run an important part of such a great club. Moving the board over from Yuku was challenging and a good experience.
However for the past year I haven't been as enthusiastic and have come on here less and less (I'm sure some of you are thinking "Who's this bloke?"), so I am standing down - the board needs and deserves an active admod team.
So to announce that Aegis is taking over as head admin. I've made many mistakes but offering admin to him wasn't one of them and I'm really happy he's agreed to take it over. Please cooperate with him as you have with me.
Thanks to all the members, new and old, who make this board and club what it is, whatever that is. Now stop reading this tosh and get it ridden!

It was called something like "The snotmobile." Out of the back of my head he had a crash and the bike needed a complete respray, so as he liked Kawasaki green he chose that colour.

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately I bought the mobile 'theme' as is and don't know how to change it

Nowadays it's politically incorrect to call someone a 'bigot'
