And that, my friend, was to whom I was replying.
Don't blame me for the quirks of the forum's operation. (Although, as a technophobe it was probably me who screwed it up).

Sorry buts whats funny about them reporting about Standard Life and speaking to a representitve from Standard life ?

Standard Life have mentioned this many times over the last 5 years.
Still it is on the BBC news [assuming it is not an innocent mistake] the same day as the big debate so I suppose to some it is 'news'.

Well you guys outside Scotland were the winners tonight.
Salmond v Darling was a bit of a damp squib.
Who lied the most?
No Score draw I think.

One of the statements that Mr Salmond made which neither HID or I could get our head around was his statement "A Yes vote is a vote for ambition over fear".
Does this mean that currently those in the Yes campaign have no ambition and are quaking in their boots with fear. Seemed a very strange statement.

Was it - damn - I read (when in Scotland) that it was only being broadcast by STV. Sorry for misinformation, And I missed it.

It was bad news for Salmond, to be whipped in a TV debate by Darling, the greyest man ever. Still got no idea about what currency he should have, when we are only a few weeks away. Just a clueless rabble rouser.

Fortunately I missed last night as it sounded like my man took a pasting, which isn't really a surprise given how much he had been built up by the press.But hold on a minute,the snap poll everyone is referring to tells us AD won by quite a bit...so why does that actual data tell us something else?

It always bothers me after these debates, whether it be for a general election or now for independence, that the aftermath turns into some kind of bizarre sports-style analysis of who "won". Why can't the commentators discuss the actual points and issues rather than the personalities....?
Nobody "won", these debates should be to inform the electorate and stimulate our own discussions.
I didn't see it (watched the football instead - painful viewing of a different sort) but it appears that, as usual, it was detail-lite with the shouty men trying to be less shouty because that's how they'll win over female voters, apparently.

I thought we were doing mulligans on polls as we all agree they show nothing. The bits I saw they were both bad but your man was a little bit badder.

Didnae see it (fortunately) but seems like Salmond got tactics wrong. I believe best response would have been to simply state that currency pegged to UK£, but maybe there's too much downside to that approach.
Newspapers coming out with 'victory' for whoever they backed pre 'debate' anyway!
It could well be a better tactic for National papers to take (or have taken) the attitude that a 'Yes' vote was a foregone conclusion! That way, the Yes become complacent and the Undecided react in 'classic Scottish style' and go against what 'the English' think! Or am I being a touch cynical - about both Scottish culture and Newspapers!

The Petrofac training challenge trophy game on ALBA?I thought we played some decent football, maybe lacked a cutting edge but were the better team until the 12th man stepped into help out our hosts. Alot more confident about the season ahead now.
Another new last night, a star of david/red hand of ulster combo flag, I think we were all pretty impressed.
