  1. Not really. Juncker isnt going to get appointed for another term.
  2. What the drunken plank doesnt realise is that even his own bad report contradicts him. It shows most of the EU exchanges gaining ground on London.
  3. Madeira is nice. Sunbathing is round the pool though. Not much in the way of beaches
  4. They aren't in the EU so I expect it will be effing amazing. Don't worry about it, I'm sure there aren't any downsides
  5. It has to be the master socket. You can pay BT to change which is the master socket or get some powerline extenders - thats the cheapest option.
  6. Its just an affectation - copying his dad who really was a relic. I had a conversation with him in 1997 where he categorically insisted China was imminently going to have a revolutionary explosion and break up into autonomous republics.Twenty years on... Like father like son.
  7. I didnt want to get my kids christened for the same reason - and got a huge and unexpected backlash from most of my family and the kids mum - even though none of them are religious. Very odd.
  8. Second best joke at the Edinburgh Fringe. "These comparisons of Trump to Hitler are really unfair. Trump could never write a book"
  9. Miserable **** by all accounts. He's probably happier being dead.
  10. So free trade is good and tariffs bad? Guess we'd better stay in the single market then.
  11. and pharmaceuticals, electronics and arms. All much less paperwork than apples
  12. You'd need to put his knob in wood chipper
  13. Bizarre as it sounds part of it is down to the 'me too' culture imo. Its almost fashionable at the moment, like being punk / goth / heavy metal / hipster was, driven by the constant media coverage. My son, who is 14, reckons around 30% of his year claim to be gay, bi sexual, pan sexual or transgender. He rolls his eyes when he talks about them, pointing out that most havent even had their first boyfriend / girlfriend yet
  14. Lefties needing to stop moaning and accept the will of the people. There was an election. People voted for it. We can make this a good war, a great war. We wont let the UN tell us what to do, be patriotic and nuke North Korea. We'll have a glowing future.
  15. Never been to Cancun but have been to Playa del Carmen downb the road. This place is really worth a trip. You walk and swim through underground caves light by head torches. Amazing, and totally safe. You dont need to be a diver. http://www.riosecreto.com/
  16. The Harlem Globetrotters did very well out of it.
  17. Third From the Left
  18. Kit Shepard is no more authorative than any poster here. He's just a saints fan writing only about saints on internet sports site.
  19. Ken Clarke saying some of the same things here https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:euLuj5J_CxkJ:https://www.ft.com/content/8e3564b4-76e6-11e7-90c0-90a9d1bc9691+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk "He attributes last year’s Brexit vote to the habit of “today’s rightwing politicians” to react to “sensationalist headlines in the Daily Mail”. “In a modern, sophisticated country with a parliamentary democracy, you have to take a different approach,” he said. Mr Clarke added that he especially deplored how the public had been assured before the EU referendum that Britain’s trading relationships would be relatively unchanged after Brexit. “I think the public will expect the political class to deal in a serious way with the complexities of the issue,” Mr Clarke said. “I do think most of them also expect that the government and the political class will diminish the economic damage that they have caused by Brexit.”He added that widening political polarisation had in part driven the Brexit vote, saying: “I’ve just never seen anything like this present mad situation.” Mr Clarke said a “wave of anger and frustration” had swept away the “liberal economic and social establishment” of both the centre-left and the centre-right, despite a recent period of relative prosperity. “Membership of the EU was part of that,” he said. “We’ve abandoned that now. It’s difficult to see what will replace it.” Mr Clarke reserved some of his scorn for the left, expressing bewilderment that the alternative to Conservatism was once again a “command economy, socialism and the nationalisation of the means of production and a strong state”. “That’s what I rejected when I was a student,” he said. But he was only marginally less surprised by how isolated the shift had left him within his own party. He said his own views, now seen as on the left of the Tory party, were once regarded as unremarkable. “I believe in the free market, free society, with a social conscience,” Mr Clarke said. “I believe in an open, meritocratic society. For most of my lifetime, those were mainstream Conservative views.”
  20. Didnt he want to leave Celtic a year before he actually did? They told him 'no' and he knuckled down again.
  21. You dont travel overseas to study at an ex poly. Its the top universities which attract foreign students.
  22. Is that the new Cherry?
  23. Exactly this. Car production depends on a very interconnected supply chain moving parts between countries. 'Country A' has a successful car export industry to the 27 countries of the EU. It actually exports just as many engines as cars. If Country A decides to set up its own borders, customs, standards and tariffs whilst the other 27 remain open and border free do we think:- 1. Country A will wildly prosper and attract lots more investment. 2 Wither and die as a major centre of manufacture as multinationals move to the harmonised market? Its not just cars either. Pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics and food / drink will all be affected.
  24. Careful. That could be libellous. Especially if you're a ****ed empty blowhard
