I'm thinking of using this image of a popular youth movement as my avatar to demonstrate my support for scouting.

Have you ever considered getting facts from source as opposed to Daily Express 'facts'?
-
That post at least I have respect for.

1.28 euros to the £ on referendum day. 1.14 now. Stellar
-
Quite, as with his previous avatar. Its like Glasgow, desperate for attention, any attention. Which is what makes it tragic.

Doh. Slowest economic growth in the EU, the G7 and the OECD. Real wages still stagnating

You can't help yourself. Or maybe you just dont want to try. Pepe has been hijacked by the alt right relatively recently, a year or so. Pretty much around the time you adopted him as your avatar. The peaceful avatars predate that. "Pepe the Frog cartoonist forces withdrawal of 'alt-right' children's book. Matt Furie, whose ‘peaceful frog-dude’ has been co-opted as a far-right meme, has stopped distribution of book that lawyers say espouses Islamophobia. The cartoonist who created Pepe the Frog has taken legal action to force the author of a self-published children’s book that uses the character to espouse “racist, Islamophobic and hate-filled themes” to give all of his profits to a Muslim advocacy organisation. Pepe, created by Matt Furie in the early 2000s as a “peaceful frog-dude” with the catchphrase “feels good man”, was adopted as a symbol by supporters of the US “alt-right” last year. He has since been , but Furie has been attempting to end the association, even in one comic strip and subsequently launching a Kickstarter to raise money to “save Pepe” https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/aug/30/pepe-the-frog-cartoonist-forces-withdrawal-of-alt-right-childrens-book

Sections of the UK car industry face extinction unless the UK stays in the EU customs union, the president of the CBI has said. Paul Dreschler also said there was "zero evidence" that trade deals outside the EU would provide any economic benefit to Britain. He blamed a "tidal wave of ideology" for the government's Brexit approach. Who'd have thought... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44462829

What would you say are the three major changes Trump has made to aid the economy in the 16 months since he took office?

The two principal Brexit cheerleading rags might be about to volte face. The Daily Mail have just appointed Geordie Greig, a remainer, as its Editor -probably reversing the stance taken by the execrable Paul Dacre. The Daily Express has recently been bought by the EU leaning Mirror group. It will be even more fun on their comments section.

His half Italian wife is pregnant. Its not always just about football or money.

Or this one. British cars wont qualify for free trade deals https://news.sky.com/story/government-warned-british-cars-will-not-qualify-for-future-trade-deals-post-brexit-11396219

Weird place to live is Orange county. Very Stepford Wives. At least they wont be bored after training.

Liddos definitely. I'll post up a pic from 2014 to prove it.

I wasn't talking to you. Not good with details huh.

dont worry, the flight back will be in time to get dessert
-
I'll get my secretary to do it

Odd that. There are no direct flights from Kenya to Spain or from Spain to Uganda. Quickest indirect is 11 hours. Add in the flight from Uganda and the plane departure times and its physically impossible to do that trip.

In Kenya 7.42am yesterday Arriving in Kenya this morning. . Fancy that.

Most of the Russians Ive met, educated people, still think that the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact in 1939 is a forgery and that Russia invaded Poland in order to protect them from the Nazis. The conspiracists are just their useful idiots.
-
The WC in isolation isn't a big deal. If countries like Russia and North Korea run their internal politics like arseholes I agree it doesn't directly impact us. The problem is when they start invading and threatening their neighbours and meddling in our politics.
-
The essential difference is that Western politicians selectively use and misuse facts and statistics to support their argument or mislead by omission. But if you're smart and can be bothered you can usually trace back to the source material and expose it for what it is. The trouble is that majority don't bother but we still have investigative journalists who do. Russia under Putin outright lies. It says one thing when the diametric opposite is true. I know a number of ethnic Russian Ukrainians who fled the Donbass after Russia's invasion - the invasion Russia still insists didn't happen. They can tell by their accents even which city the Russian soldiers come from - just as we could if Glaswegians or New Yorkers suddenly started occupying Winchester whilst claiming to be local 'freedom fighters'

Interesting that the image was saved to his computer at 07.41 and posted here at 07.42. I thought Kenya was two hours ahead

Maybe we need to sell to buy because although transfer money is there, spare cash on the wage bill isn't.

Presumably we would simply also just pay for players in instalments
