  1. We lose our veto. That is total control.
  2. Only a 10% chance of rain according to the Met Office so only about 2,600 of us are going to get wet http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcp187503#?fcTime=1473897600
  3. In The Times this morning Virgil has it all under control. There are only two things we need to do: “We have been dominating games. You see the games against Arsenal and Manchester United, both away, and we have never felt so comfortable playing there, keeping possession and creating chances. We just need two things — to score a goal and stop conceding goals because that is also a bit of a problem at the moment.”
  4. Do you really expect me to have to remember all your stuff as well as my own?
  5. Thanks, that's more or less what I thought. I supose they would need to 'sell' all 5000 before Inter can print them. I only asked because I shall not be home to receive the special delivery before the match which makes things very complicated.
  6. There you go again. You're repeating the same tactic that you always use. Perhaps you have forgotten why you voted
  7. Theresa May was in charge of immigration controls at the time. The Home Office won't play ball and do what they are told. Do you really believe that there wil be any difference once we have left? There have been just as many coming from the rest of the world as from the EU. We had total control over them and a fat lot of good it did us. Do you think that suddenly all the EU nationals will stop coming leaving only the others?
  8. Good. Might even get down to ST with no aways Can anybody who has received a ticket please confirm how these were delivered? I thought that I had read somewhere that they would only be sent by recorded delivery to the address of the ST holder.
  9. This is another feeble Brexit contention. Inside the EU we had infinitely more control over its future than we do now. (I use 'infinitely because now we have zero influence whereas before we had control so anything is infinitely more than zero)
  10. 0.9 is 10% less than 1.0 You have to be very careful when using percentage changes to be specific about what the change refers to. For example, a fall of 50% followed by a rise of 50% doesn't get you back to where you started. You may not be exporting but your raw materials and energy costs will rise if they are imported
  11. Nice try There are far more companies in Britain than there are in the FTSE 100 or even 200. And to answer the question, 1.1 x 0.9 is 0.99, that's the trouble with percentages
  12. I can't see it myself. Why not just release them officially through Saints? Selling them direct themselves is asking for all sorts of repercussions. Having said that, bring it on
  13. Ay, there's the rub. Not gonna happen.
  14. But what counts a a home fan? Forza Inter la beneamata! (Just learn this song and you'll be fine )
  15. Nothing bizarre about it. All British companies and assets are now worth less than they were before, as is the British economy. There is no chance that we shall have any significnat trade deals with anybody before the EU does. These other countries will want to settle the EU deals before they get round to us. The EU market is ten times the size of ours and if they were to settle with us first that would prejudice their EU discussions.. Regarding limboland I was referring to our political clout which is now non-existent. We cannot vote nor have any influence on what the EU does from now on. Legally we could try but in practice that would seriously mess up any future negotiations we might have with them.
  16. Please, please, pretty please with spaghetti sauce. Let's all keep this as quiet as possible shall we?
  17. Correct. Although how rigorously this is enforced is undetermined at the moment. http://www.inter.it/en/stadio/ticket-FAQs http://www.ticketbis.net/information/italian_football http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1153-october-2012/9080-the-difficulties-of-buying-a-ticket-in-italy http://www.footballinitaly.com/travelplanner.html "Important note : if you have bought your ticket in advance or plan to at the stadium, every member of your party will need to provide photographic ID to gain entry (a passport is fine for this)." http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/id-please-italy.cfm http://www.fodors.com/community/europe/id-please-italy.cfm "I have been asked for ID several times while at Italian football matches. I have always used my European style, UK driving license without any issues."
  18. They won't but you won't get in unless you can prove that you are the person named on the ticket and in practice that means photo-ID. This is the law in Italy.
  19. Which also means that the whole country - yes the whole country - is now worth about 10% less than it was before. You can continue to stick your head in the sand if it helps you to ignore the realities of our situation. You can crow all you like now (difficult with your head in the sand) but we haven't even begun to leave yet but already our influence in the world has fallen to zero. America and China only saw us as providing access to Europe but since the vote as far as Europe is concerned we are in limboland.
  20. All tickets will have ID details on them but you may be interested in this section about transferring tickets on their website: http://www.inter.it/en/cessione/1 So it would seem that it is possible for somebody to buy a ticket and then transfer it into your name. Of course there is always the possibility that some local decree will prevent you attending but I would think that if you use your non-UK passport you will have no problems in your own name anyway. A few days ago I went through a trial run of purchasing a ticket for Inter v Hapoel BS and putting my nationality as Israeli. I got as far as the payment details without any problems. I am monitoring the Inter site daily waiting for our match there to appear and then we should find out. Whatever happens I shall be in Verona on the Wednesday before the match and I may try one of the ticket agencies there.
  21. It was a Cup Final. I thought it was Everton and Liverpool but it was a common problem back in 'them days'.
  22. Did he though? Very few in the world of football outside the Saintsosphere would put it that way. In what way was any decisoion massively wrong? (Just to be clear... whcih game was this?)
  23. The inflationary pressures from the fall in the £ are only just starting to feed through. Why? Do you not think it better that we all combine our resources or are you hoping that we can keep any external threats to the other side of the channel?
  24. I think you're confusing the result of the referendum with Brexit itself. One of them hasn't happened yet.
  25. I have a vague recollection of 70,000, but it may have been only a rumour. This was the weekend that Blacburn won it. A draw for Man U against us would have ended the season that same evening.
