Good recovery, that man!
Watch for the diagonal, though.

Some are born corrupt, some achieve corruption, and some have corruption
thrust upon them. ;-)

That's fine by me. I'm taking time off ATM.
I might need consoling after the 19th.

Just wondering: Would that be in the yes- or the no-case?
(I have a hunch, but I might be wrong of course.)

I'm just guessing, Chris, but knowing Stephen personally I would say
he's a 'no' - we have an agreement not to discuss politics since he is a
bit further to the left than I am (and I'm by no means full-blooded
Conservative)

Oh, yeah, that's something to definitely keep an eye on. :)

I think we can resolve that. :)

I've seen it before and think that is very funny and very true.
This news clip was shot in Aberdeen when Siri was launched.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EVnK-pNxaA
In some parts of Scotland they speak the purest English to be found.
(Inverness-shire, I've also read that there is somewhere in Canada that
does too.) But in other parts of Scotland the dialect is next to
incomprehensible. I once spent an afternoon with a friend's old uncle in
Aberdeen. I could make out one word in three.
My own accent is similar to the ones in the video you posted. So if we
ever team up in ED with voice comms, beware! :-)
Or maybe not. Scots is a Germanic language.

Me, personally, I think whether Scotland would be better off with a
"yes" or "no" is immensely difficult to predict; and you know what the
Danes say about predictions, especially when they pertain to the future.
But I suspect that the rest of GB would fare better with a "no", while I
as an outsider would certainly profit from a "yes" result, if only for
the added entertainment :-)

I've been to the Glasgow, Edinburgh and Southern Uplands region once,
and had no problems whatsoever understanding the people there. Including
the guy I had to deal with on the first day, who was indeed wearing a
kilt at work (and no, he was not in the tourist business, but the head
of an IT department ;-)).
That same trip later led me to Middle England; it was late at night when
I arrived, and I had to ask for the way, so I did. Well, the guy seemed
sober enough, but I swear: I did not understand One. Single. Freakin'.
Word. And I mean that literally.
