Really! then please tell me where the exaggerations are in my post? or do you actually understand the meaning of hyperbolic?

The whole post is deliberately exaggerating Scottish independence.
The reference to becoming the whipped dog in a failed regime is nonsense along with the gold fish tea cup analogy.

How can I possibly exaggerate something that as yet hasn't happened and is indeed unlikely to happen, any ideas or concepts of how it might work are hypothetical and subjective in the extreme. 

The whipped dog analogy seems to fit very closely with how BIG BAD ENGERLAND is treating poor wee Scotland, and whether or not you agree is irrelevant  as I believe it is as valid as is the failed reime comment, by which of course I refer to European dis-union and it's ongoing internal troubles. 

As for my analogy of the goldfish in a teacup, so you don't like it and you don't agree it's a valid analogy, not a problem you may think what you will, it doesn't lesson the point I make in using it.

I would fully support a publicly funded campaign to invest in weather manipulation technology (HAARP) to divert the jet stream further north towards Scotland

Gave myself a fright the other week when I was sick in my sleep. So might just slightly over do the moderation of consumption.

I'm sure AA have a local meeting you can attend.

There's nothing wrong with his car.

100% Agree.. But being sick in your sleep caused by boozing merits a visit to AA in my book

How can you 100% agree, you don't even know if he has a car?

Still can't see how a mechanic would help.

If he didn't have one then there couldn't be anything wrong with it. 

Are you using mechanic in the sense of a motor mechanic? 

For a moment I thought you might have meant a hit man.

If he hasn't got one then every car is "it", so unless you think that there is nothing wrong with every car ...

I once fantasised that you made a coherent post on here.

No way. A step too far.

It wasn't the booze that caused it. Was the prawn sandwiches that were dished out in the boardroom.

Never blame the booze.

My, now deceased, mother in law blamed the 'bad' lemonade in her whisky and lemonade.

See that's where she was going wrong, if she had only drunk whisky she'd have been fine.

Now you mention it, my dad put lemonade in his whisky and he's deed too.

Clearly can't be good for one. Mind you she was 89.

Must've been 'diet' lemonade

Will she be using our tax money for this?

Somehow I can’t see the Clown dictatorship allowing her to equally use £5m of the taxpayer’s money for her own campaign.

Like i have said previously, I am not a fan of Boris, However he has delivered on what the majority of the UK population voted for re Brexit, all the poison dwarf has done is to wind up the nationalist side of the Scots to aspire for something that she can'r deliver, which suits her down to the ground because then it's all about BIG BAD BORIS and BIG BAD ENGERLAND and not about the fact her policies are divisive in the extreme and very unlikely to help Scotland in a fight they are very unlikely to win.
