  1. No, you miss my point. How can you or anybody in the EU porove that the UK is fully compliant now that the Uk is no longer in the EU? It's not enopugh to have regulatory standards. You also need to have a regulatory environment. So I ask again, how do you prove that the UK is conforming to the EU standards?
  2. It’s like the difference between murder and manslaughter.
  3. These wildfires are usually caused by arson be it wilful or accidental.
  4. We’ve always had that power. Nothing has changed.
  5. Now you’re miles off course. What do you mean by ‘equivalence’? Since we are no longer under the joint apron of the ECJ there is no guarantee of compliance. It’s not enough to follow the same rules, you have to sign up to the same oversight. These delays at Dover are nothing to do with compliance or equivalence. They are the procedure that must be followed when entering a Schengen country. It’s like arguing that your car passed its MOT six years ago so it must be ok now.
  6. You’ve wandered off all over the place here. I’m not sure what points you’re trying to make but none of them are relevant.
  7. Yep. All over the world. I’ve been held up in the States for over an hour three or four times. Sometimes two hours. The border controls between Argentina and Brazil are tedious even if you’re the only traveler around. Antigua can be slow if more than two planes turn up at the same time. I’ve had a wait getting into the Netherlands too. Don’t forget that you are probably travelling alone. A carful with kids will take longer. The problems now are that the passports are not only checked but they also have to be logged and stamped both in and out. It all takes longer. Thanks to you.
  8. If it weren’t for Brexit there would be no need for more passport points at Dover so yes, it’s Brexit’s fault.
  9. But two rights can make a wrong. Yeah, right.
  10. I’m wondering who else Bordeaux have that we might be interested in now that we’ve done them a favour.
  11. That’s so that he can defend corners.
  12. As crap goes he’s a lot younger.
  13. Two years? So no need to rush then
  14. Differentials always exaggerate small changes. What matters are the longer overall data.

    Russia

    I read that they were being listed as “missing in action” rather than “killed in action”. Missing doesn’t give rise to any financial benefits I believe.
  16. -20C for me. Once in the daytime in Toronto and once in the evening in Frederikshavn, Denmark.
  17. We are twenty kilometres south of Saumur in France and it’s 43 degrees for the rest of this week. No collapsed Old Age Pensioners in the street yet although by tomorrow we might be among them. I remember a summer in the early 1960s when it got up to around 100 Fahrenheit. Centigrade hadn’t been invented then and Celsius was just a wet dream. The hottest place I have ever been was the Syrian desert at Palmyra where it was over 120 Fahrenheit but very dry. The air conditioning on the coach kept it down to 96 F.
  18. How many goals did he give away?
  19. Has anybody mentioned the limit on pension funding and how this is causing GPS to retire early?
  20. Do you lick it afterwards?
  21. I’ve seen talk of signing for Worthing.
  22. At half the price I’d still have to think about it.
