Think their designers need to rethink... So is the UK a country or not? I always wondered why you people aren't all on the same World Cup team. If you got together maybe you would get out of the Round of 16. |

The Rest of the UK sounds good... It is now getting very difficult to keep track of all the new European countries. How many are they? Only this year it is Crimea, Novorossia, Scotland who wants a new nationality. Maybe Euskatel 'Pays Basque' as well. And borders of countries. The Netherlands and Belgium in the interlocking municipalites of Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog is a tricky one. |

Well, I can see Spain causing a furore if Scotland succeeds in going independent & joining the EU... ...the Basques will love it. |

Well, I can see Spain causing a furore if Scotland succeeds in going independent & joining the EU... But the Basques are speaking a very strange language :) Totally different to Spanish and French. |

But would not the Scots feel alone if they left the UK. Though I have an idea. They would be able to become a part of Scandinavia, together with Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Estonia. Hail Thor |

The Basques speak one of the Celtic languages, not far removed from Cornish. Noting strange about that. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Maybe this is a ploy by England to get a greater say in EU matters. Split officially into two or three countries, each with an equal vote. Personally being here in the USA I say what took them so long, we did it 238 years ago. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

But on the other hand, very funny:) Much has happened in Europe over the past 3000 years. History of Europe - 6013 years in 3 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxDyJ_6N-6A Cheers:) |

Bye-Bye Scotland Do you suggest that Scots have a drinking problem? Well, In Russia life expectancy is 10 YEARS lower than EU! |

Bye-Bye Scotland did you not notice :-) It was meant as "tongue-in-cheek" :-) |

Bye-Bye Scotland Shetland has a lot of oil and gas in the North Sea, not necessarily Scotland's. Most Shetlanders consider themselves Vikings first and their nearest railway station is in Hell. |

Hell is the place where dead people suffer eternal damnation of evil deeds and evil living in the life on earth. Perhaps you mean Hekla in Iceland or Donetsk Peoples Republic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hekla |

I would rather be more closely aligned with Britain, than The EU. Washington and Monroe said they all suck and should be avoided. |

I would rather be more closely aligned with Britain, than The EU. In that case, the quicker you let Charles Lindbergh rest in peace the better. |

What does Lindbergh being a Nazi have to do with anything?I would rather be more closely aligned with Britain, than The EU. |
