Okay, so you send £1 using the donate link at the bottom of the page*, and then post what percentage you think the 'yes' vote will be.

Whole numbers only, winner gets the pot. If it's a tie, we'll split the pot. One turn per person for now. I'll keep track of the guesses in the next post.

*Text reads "Want to help out with the hosting / advertising costs? That's very nice of you."

Really I should bet £600 on this, because apparently that's at least how much better off I'll be in the event of a Yes vote, so I'm currently living in a dizzying no-lose scenario here. Mmmhmm.

Heh, it was other people on the wrestling one. I think I took months to pay as I kept forgetting!

I know mate, but I don't want to read that I haven't paid for stuff. Grim... and Myp are out of order.
