http://metro.co.uk/2014/09/18/parody-facebook-status-of-scotland-going-from-married-to-its-complicated-goes-viral-4873587/Things are getting a wee bit heavy in the UK at the moment, what with that referendum about whether Scotland wants to be part of it or not any more.
To lighten the mood, someone has knocked together a parody Facebook story featuring the countries that make up the United Kingdom (and cheeky little Norway gets a look in as well).
The Facebook status has already been shared more than 1,000 times in less than an hour.

...Dimmu Borgir used to feature Nicholas Barker (native of Chesterfield) as their drummer. I knew something was up!
Yeah, yeah, so it's England, but now that Ulver has scooped up Daniel O'Sullivan, the Norwegians are slowly encircling Scotland. There'll be no escape this time.
