Scotland's FB relationship status just changed from 'married' to 'it's complicated'

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.

Set out like the standard public break-up you might see clogging up your Facebook news feed, Twitter user @JamieDMJ has Scotland change it’s relationship status from ‘married’ to ‘its complicated’, before being assaulted with the standard comments of condolence and intrigue.

...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.

But the Romans, sigh, it's really hard when the other half builds a wall.

The above is based on that there was some talk(no clue on how serious or joking) on the Scots joining the Nordics if they became free with us being accepting of the idea(first i heard of it when finding this, but I'm not opposed if they wanted to ), last person is Estonia who it seems have tried for years to be accepted as one of us but it seems we have been ignoring her(also news to me >.> )

and the below is linked to the above 'talk' of becoming a nordic thus us being protective
