You are a right idiot. SHARE IS NOT RELEVANT. It's absolute values that matter.

'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.

They will. You just have to wait a bit longer.

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.

Good grief you’ve really swallowed the Kool Aid. You don’t even know what moribund means.

We weren’t and I don’t know any that were. There is no way to avoid paying tax.

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 ;(

Most probably, but not certainly.

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.

If the ATM is broken you have to service it yourself.

It’s just a plot to deter the Russians from getting vaccinated so that they they’ll die of COVID instead.

You can have too many plethoras.

Lavia is far too good for us.

But it’s not the same for everybody on the pitch.

She’s clearly in love with him. Infatuation colours judgement. As for the Fat Oaf himself, guilty as charged M’Lud.

“Never trust a Tory”

I think it was. I thought we played better without too much coaching time myself.

expelled from the league would be too good for them.

Because it crowds the football programme and leads for calls for smaller leagues. Why can't they be played midweek?

That is the problem. These international weekends take up slots in the footballing calendar. Some of us are old enough to remember when internationals were always played midweek.

I don’t know if we’ve had this before?

I think the problem with the return of Bednarek was that he hadn’t been playing regularly and wasn’t up to speed and that he was introduced into a team of players with whom he hadn’t trained or played before. He was a rusty stranger.

Everybody knows where the borders are. They are internationally agreed. The real question is when will Russia accepts that it’s attempt at stealing land has failed.
