Does that make you suspicious, does that make you think of a man with nothing to lose?

I had to Google who he was.

Still don't care though...

Try 'Speakers Corner' maybe?

I fear you may get a very similar reason from GD hence why i added the edit of trying Speakers Corner.

She was 43 and he was 26 when they married.

An age gap I wouldn't be confortable with or could foresee personally, although apparently she still looks ten years younger than her age and is supposed to be quite a strong woman..

Suspcious I wouldn't say so the marriage has lasted over two decades and they are quite smitten apparently.

No children? Some people don't, or can't, have them.

I wouldnt bat an eyelid if I saw them walking down the street hand in hand.

Just looks like an average couple to me.

He's almost 60 himself, so his wife is hardly going to be 21 is she :confused:

CircleFaust · 17 Oct 2012 at 23:06

very hard to say. does having kids make you less nationalistic?!

your priorities are maybe elsewhere. however he hasn't made this decision alone, i'm sure everyone in his cabinet has kids

What difference does it make....My Gran and her third husband had a huge age gap as well, she was 40, he was 19...and they were happily married until she passed away at 88......

Looking forward to slinging the rebellious barbarians to the north out of the union, irrespective of the age of their wives.

No more English cash to pay for your wife's care when she starts losing bowel control, Alex. Still, it's the great unwashed I'm worried about, rather than the fat cats of Holyrood.

You're right. I've never thought along these lines before but this clearly shows he was behind 9/11.

Should the day come.... I think it will be the Barbarians who will be giving the finger to the Union..

It can't come soon enough.

As for Salmond... If hes happy.. Great. Good on him

2/10 for effort, wouldn't read again.

2/10 for effort, 0/10 for correctness.

Still, I like the Union.

does his good will lack of deviousness make you suspicious?

Energizer Bunny · 18 Oct 2012 at 13:01

BWAHAHAHAHA that is an amazing opening post!

What do you mean nothing to lose? Why?

englishpremier · 18 Oct 2012 at 13:12

What's having no children got to do with it? Many people don't want, or don't like children.
