  1. That’s when it all began.

    Russia

    They are not Russians. Unless you’re a racist and think that ethnicity is more important than where you live and we’re brought up. They are Crimeans who have been Ukrainians for at least two generations
  3. I am not and never will be your ‘chum’. Yes, [tedious voice], we all know about PPP. It cannot and should not be used anywhere anybody of limited comprehension. Has the EU’s living standard increased? Of course it has. Therefore it is not ‘dropping’. Here’s a simple Illustration. Pedro lives in Patagonia and Bruno lives in Berlin.which has the better living standard? - Correct! Pedro gets a 300% pay rise and Bruno gets a 5% pay rise. Now who’s better off? Tricky little question, isn’t it?
  4. Oh FFS. Share means nothing.
  5. Where did you copy that from? There is only one stage. Pure, unadulterated anger. Anger that a selfish idiot like you can ruin the livelihoods of honest hard-working people. This anger will never go away. We know who you are and one day you will get your come uppance. You will be first up against the wall.
  6. You are a right idiot. SHARE IS NOT RELEVANT. It's absolute values that matter.
  7. 'Being' not 'between' Ipad innit. I thought that might have been obvious to be honest. You have once again dsplayed your mathematical ignorance. And don't try any of your snotty little comments on me chum, when it coes to academi achievements I outrank you several times over. Its share is irrelevant. It is certainly not 'dropping'. It's arguments like this that trap the mathematically illiterate and they've certainly ensnared you. "The EU economy has grown in size" there you have it in your words in black and white. It has grown. It is increasing in value. It is getting bigger. What anybody on the other side of the world is doing has no relevance. If Bolivia and Chile, for example, want to exchange thousands of tons of gold on a daily basis their economies will appear bigger than they were. Their economies will appear to have grown. That has nothing to do with the EU. Look at what I wrote again (with correction), "an abstract irrelevance since the two quantities being compared are not related." If a shop in Wolverhampton sells 100,000 oranges and a shop in Nairobi sells 100,000 avocados then which has the higher turnover? If next year the shop in Wolverhampton sells 150,000 oranges and the one in Nairobi sells 120,000 avovados then which has increased its turnover and by how much. Trying to measure one relative to the other is idiotic.
  8. They will. You just have to wait a bit longer.
  9. Your second quote illustrates the idiot’s understanding of percentages. ”Its share of global GDP will drop to 14.6pc this year. It is losing roughly one percentage point every three years.” It is not dropping at all, it is actually growing. Such figures are used by the unscrupulous to reign in dummies that think they mean something that they don’t mean but like what they read and don’t have the wit or wisdom to examine them more closely . A relative share expressed as a percentage, that’s a ‘fraction’ to you, is an abstract irrelevance since the two quantities between compared are not related. The EU’s GDP is increasing year on year so why you should think it might be dropping is deeply disturbing.
  10. Good grief you’ve really swallowed the Kool Aid. You don’t even know what moribund means.
  11. We weren’t and I don’t know any that were. There is no way to avoid paying tax.
  12. Well said sir. in the good old days we used to have the feel good factor at 4:50pm on a Saturday but with VAR it can take that long before you feel like celebrating ;(
  13. Most probably, but not certainly.
  14. Nothing to do with the officials in themselves, it's the whole concept that is wrong. Any technology will always depend on humans for its implementation and they are sitting miles away with a crap view of any incidents. The delays that it introduces are killing any excitement and passion in the game. It was Bertrand that was offside at Wembley and we managed to let in four goals without the interference of VAR. Mike Dean's red card in the Leicester 0-9 would never have happened without VAR sticking its nose in where it wasn't wanted.
  15. If the ATM is broken you have to service it yourself.

    Russia

    It’s just a plot to deter the Russians from getting vaccinated so that they they’ll die of COVID instead.
  18. You can have too many plethoras.
  19. Lavia is far too good for us.
  20. But it’s not the same for everybody on the pitch.
  21. She’s clearly in love with him. Infatuation colours judgement. As for the Fat Oaf himself, guilty as charged M’Lud.
  22. “Never trust a Tory”
  23. I think it was. I thought we played better without too much coaching time myself.
  24. expelled from the league would be too good for them.
