Its just been enlightening for me. I'm ashamed of the behaviour of even my close friends in know and love. I think I'll be seeing less of them for a while.
The mood is No voters I would imagine are relieved (not happy, because who actually likes the UK government) and the Yes voters are seething That could be true. Perhaps I've not seen ant no voters acting like tossers because I've been exposed to outspoken, vocal supporters of independence. The only people I know that voted no were my sister and a good friend. Yeah I would agree with you, I have to be honest I'm glad that there was a No vote. There would be so much change in terms of constitution and the way of life. I do think people have underestimated just how much things would've changed. My opinion of course which may be a load of bollocks Interesting. Seems that Scots do want independence and who can blame them with the tosser we've got as PM. |

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well
Well the big day arrived today, I moved into my flat! And it is AMAZING! Got my own bathroom, bedroom, living room/kitchen and even my own sofa! It's so nice having independence again. |

I know my fam have been similar. Was up there this weekend and everyone is still going on about it :/ Whilst they were no voters for obvious reasons, they're still quite shocked and disgusted at some of the vitriol and scenes occurring in Glasgow over independence It brings such bad connotations and associations to Scottish people and unfortunately, some people are willing to tar everyone with the same brush!On a cheerier note, how's everyone been? |

Quite possibly a student loan... Oh how I miss those days
Real life sucks ![]() But I've been pretty thrifty with money the past year as I lived at home (due to an almighty cockup with the flat I was supposed to be staying in) so I saved quite a bit of money. In the words of a Gloria Gaynor - I will survive!

Anyone watching that Cilla drama? The scene about Epstein visiting that club was a bit of an eye opener. Its easy to forget that although its far from easy these days, our folk back in the '60s were almost underground and resorting to a sort of speakeasy setup.
Makes you thankful for all the work that those who campaigned for equality over the years have done. |

I watched it last night (an excellent drama by the way!) and yes I completely agree it was very eye opening. 1963 is still quite recent in terms of history so we have come a long way in 50 years.
Actually I did critisie that scene when I watched it. For starters it felt like ITV thought "we won't bother with an Epstein biog, so lets just tack it onto the Cilla one with one throwaway scene." And, the kissing was all totally OTT. Seemed very forced. Quote:

And surprisingly I've not heard of any complaints so far... and yet a lizard woman kisses her wife (to save her life) in Doctor Who and 600 people complain. *rolleyes smilie*
Didn't know he did those as well. Although to be honest I've not seen any of those. I know! I was surprised at just how much he's written. |

^Its a shame they've condensed it down to three hours. As a drama, it'd make a good series, but as a biography then I suppose its just about right.
Did you see Sheridan's 'Who Do You Think You Are?' ? |

It's in the Finance and Corporate services dept I'd be working in for the year so it'll be more or less office work, which is fine by me.
