Places you have never been but would love to go to

I'm not actually surprised. I met a fella working in a bar in Malta a few years ago who was born and raised in Bulgaria, but who had the most convincing Cork accent - in both English and Irish - I've ever heard from anyone not from the county. He'd worked in Cork for many years, and learned Irish in Kerry. Best part of our conversation, though, was when I asked him a question about being Bulgarian. He said "Stall de ball, boy. I yoooosed to be Bulgarian, but sure not dis lasht couple of years", and produced an Irish passport card from his wallet. -

A wonderfully dismissive summation of a whole nation's history into a little wooden timepiece!! Shame on you ๐ฎ Mind you they did give us the Reformation but not sure they were having referendums on that! -

Rain has been a big issue here too or at least for me it has been. A few days ago I had just left the house on a 25 minute journey when it began to rain. The highway is maybe a couple of miles away and by the time I get there it's blinding. All I get is a very brief glimpse of what's ahead on the wiper upsweep but i'm pretty much largely driving blind. And what can you do? Can't stop, if I stop chances are something is going to immediately run into me, it was hazardous. It was also coming down so heavily the road itself was becoming a river and I could feel myself beginning to wriggle on it but too worried about what's behind me to even slow down. I put on the hazard lights and the fog lamp, Americans for some reason typically don't use their hazard lights. Or Oklahomans don't.

No I actually quite like the idea of referendums about various subjects and then they are legally binding , however sometimes ref results can be very different from normal legislative processes . i read some time ago that if there was a ref vote on gay marriage it would lose or anything to do with capital punishment , a majority would vote for its return and various other issues .. so be careful what you wish for -

Yes people are an issue!! Pesky creatures with their opinions and rights ๐ -
I experienced this one first hand in 1987. 27 dead, 300 odd injured. Scary stuff. I think it rained every day for a month afterwards. Not sure that is linked to a tornado or not but it did. I even blew train tanker cars off the tracks in the rail yard. Can you imagine?? Having trouble copying and pasting link into post๐คทโโ๏ธ

Another issue is people , the yes I mean would not be happy with a ref every 5 years and def 10 years . They would agitate for one every year ! More than likely -

You want a Nationalised energy generation company to provide free energy to the poorest off in Scottish society, yet baulk at other progressive policies like freezing council tax and income tax/benefit changes that redistribute money to the poorest 10%. That doesn't add up. At all.

The main point is that it would be up to the people The mechanism whereby sovereignty is exercised and how often should be defined in the Scottish constitution The Swiss have a pretty good model of direct democracy https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/07/switzerland-direct-democracy-explained/
