Consider this thread a place to voice your birthday wishes for what is almost certainly one of the best nations in the world!

Anyone planning anything to celebrate?

:confused:

I thought this was all celebrated in January?

Well, by celebrate, I mean the news covered it briefly, usually with some item about how long the Union would survive.

May it last a thousand years.

I really have no idea how we managed to keep this going for 300 years

it'll never happen. lib dems are far more likely to win. they're second only to labour in my constituency and gaining fast. the nationalists only make a lot of noise. they don't have anything else.

Bump.
