An independent Scotland is too small and economically too weak to counter the threat of becoming another victim of Germany's export-oriented economy. This has nothing to do with Scotland's historical differences with England. Same goes for Ireland. The other side of the coin is the problematic attitude of the ruling circles in London. They are practically driving the Scots to leave the UK. It is my opinion that Britain's interests were best served within the EU and it would have been much better for the EU as well if they remained. There should be a balance of powers inside the EU. What we have now is a German hegemony, something the British under Edward Heath and Margaret Thatcher aspired to become until they committed economic suicide. Today they think trading with the Commonwealth is going to save them. Well, if they think that the purchasing power of Botswana or Guyana is stronger than that of France or the Netherlands, good luck to them.

Err what exactly does the post quoted have to do with this thread? ....or to put it more bluntly-how about getting back on topic people-which is Australia....!

Nothing. It was a reaction to palo5's post.

Whatever you do, no matter how tempting it may appear to be, don't ever grab a Tasmanian devil by it's tail.

They have a scent gland similar to that of a skunk.

Tasmanian Devils have a scent gland underneath the base of their tail, which is used to mark the ground behind the animal with a strong, pungent scent.

Question: If a Scot visits Rottnest Island wearing a kilt do the quokkas look up his skirt?

No, quokkas rarely if ever wear skirts and no Antipodean would look under any man's kilt, skirt or otherwise.

Q - What's worn under the kilt?

A - Nothing, it's all in perfect working order...

Yeah, but umm, when the top for the day will be 15 I'm a dead man, I get off roster next Wednesday morning, I usually leave work between 5 and 6 am, that means I'll freeze my nuts off when it'll probably be below 10 that's right, 10
