HM the Queen is in Glasgow and she bumped into Alex Salmond.

HM: How nice to see you Mr Salmond.

AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence ? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King?

HM: No, we don’t like that.

AS: Empire, and I'll be Emperor?

HM: No.

AS: All right, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince?

HM: No, Mr Salmond, I suggest we call it a Country and you can carry on as you are. Salmond

Someone will need to spell the joke out to me. If it had been a YES vote then Lizzie would still have been the Queen of Scots. She sat on the Stone of Destiny at her coronation. An independant Scotland would not have changed that fact. She would still have been the sovereign and the Defender of the Faith.

Some golf clubs have a special membership scheme for non-local golfers, called country-membership.

 

Often used by golfers who take an annual golfing holiday somewhere.

 

One such golfer arrived for his holiday, parked as near the bar door as possible, strode in and demanded a double-scotch.

 

"Excuse me, sir, but this is a members only club", said the steward, "so I can't serve you, and by the way you have parked your car in the lady captain's space"

 

"Well, I'm not moving it" said the golfer, "and you mind your manners my lad, or I'll report you to the secretary. Just get me my drink, I AM a member, I'm a country member"

 

"Oh yes, sir" said the steward abjectly, "yes, I remember"

.

was it all premeditated (shock horror) we returned the stone so i presume madge is the last english sovereign that can show she rules scotland by plonking her arse on it.

strange its significance as far as i know (and happy to be corrected) the stone authenticity (or lack of it?) only came into the headlines a couple of hundred years ago so of little historical value,?the earlier references are certainly about a stone from scone but are the two the same?

it has enough power in the scots eye to be another stone from the quarry to replace a lost or hidden original from the english aspect of power over the scots

the original importer only had to say the stone was the original one and who at the time would or could disprove it?

its the sandstone version of the shroud of turin

Really?

 

It would make Salmond a diminutive Count.
