Because the world is broken.

Not worth the paper it’s written on. Sam Goldwyn

Then let’s ask why they are doing it again this season? It can only be because they’re under instructions.

I remember a game we had at Chelsea a long time ago. I collected my daughter from Reading University and we drove to the ground the rain all day was Biblical with continuous thunder and lightning and we knew that the game could not go ahead. We even bought a programme and got inside the ground but and got to the top of the steps only to be told that we could go to our seats but that the game had been called off. We still have that programme for a game that never happened.

I might try that.

Materialised? Virtually none of it. Too many to pick apart individually but ‘Expanding Trade Horizons’ isa good place to start. Brexit has shrunk our trade horizons beyond even the direst predictions. I don’t see how looking at Australia, New Zealand or Africa can possibly replace trading with somewhere that’s only an hour or two’s flight away. A European visit is a day trip. These others are a week. Besides, there was nothing about being an EU member that prevented us dealing with these far off sunny uplands anyway.

Whoa! Hold on there for a moment. The referee is always correct. Especially in matters of a subjective nature.

A long while ago I read somewhere that investigators could tell whether a deceased person was left or right handed by the difference in the number of fillings in the left and right of the jaws. A right handed person brushes the left side more than the right and the left will have fewer fillings. I rushed to the mirror to examine mine and found out that I am right handed.

And you probably know that a chef’s hat with 100 folds means that he/she knows 100 different ways to cook an egg

Caviar, I presume?

Could you design any of them? Thought not.

So what’s your point?

Really? I thought it was a case of before and after.

You think? How many complicated pieces of electronic equipment are involved in this process?

Agreed. So should we all eat eggs?

It ends at an EU border.

Especially when it ends our own freedom to move.

Eh? It was an option to control those who fulfilled these criteria. Compare that to what we have now.

It was never complete freedom of movement. You had to be either economically active, or a student, or economically independent.

They were our laws whilst we were a member. It’s freedom of movement of labour. It is not an absolute right and some EU countries control it rigorously.

Just as there’s a thin person inside every fat one.

They’re not wrong.

This, and he has taken a place that might have been better used by another.

Shoosh. For God’s sake keep that bit quiet. We don’t want to put them off. Wait until the money’s in the bank.

Further than you might think. 1.3 and 1.2 miles respectively so about half an hour. I take it you’ve never been old?
