It's a wonder there aren't more road accidents in Portsmouth given that the locals successfully petitioned to have all red removed from traffic lights.

Has Vince made double figures this season?

Well I guess she's more mobile than John Terry.

They're still good for a chuckle though, rivals or not.

Well, it would have helped if you'd realised what a trade dispute in this context means. Either that, or you quite fancy arming yourself with a craft knife when your opponent has a dao.
-
It was rhetorical question and yet you got it wrong.
-
In a trade dispute with China that would impact sales of your goods or services, would you rather have the EU negotiating with China or the UK alone?
-
Well, it doesn't, because you've totally ignored the economic arguments for being in or out of the EU.

I think of them is a postman and the other works in a carpet shop. The BBC are preparing biographies already just in case they fluke it through to the FA Cup 3rd round and draw one of the big boys, like Rotherham.

You're sailing the same boat-load of stupid that Sour Mash is - nobody is predicting or threatening "meltdown", only that we'd likely be worse off outside the EU. You may not believe that, but you'll fail to present a a cogent argument if continue to argue against an extreme position that nobody is actually arguing from....
-
You could, but of the UK's $60bn FS exports, the EU is by far the biggest consumer. In the extreme and unlikely scenario where we had to chose between exporting FS to the EU or to the rest of the world, we'd be better off within the EU. Additionally, being outside the EU and not being compliant with EU regulation would make selling FS to the EU even more difficult - we'd need to comply, and if we're doing that anyway, why leave?
-
Said nobody, ever. In the last couple of weeks both Deutsche Bank and HSBC have announced that they have begun reviews of their UK operations and contingency planning for relocation with the EU should the UK leave and they won't be the only ones. Even those who say they haven't started a formal planning process, such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, BNP Paribas, UBS and Bank of America are at least thinking about it. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9b555ed6-25f1-11e4-8bb5-00144feabdc0.html Now, if you'd argued that although we may lose some FS jobs from London but that these would be offset by attracting other investment and growth to the City after leaving the EU, or had even rolled out the retarded "good riddance to the ****** bankers who rip us all off anyway" line, you might have had a debating point. However, you didn't, you claimed that precisely zero jobs would be lost and the engaged in some child-like hyperbolic extrapolation of the argument and threw a couple of lols in for good measure - and for that reason, for the ludicrous denial of man living with loose grip on reality, I'm out. By the way, in 2011-12 HM Treasury estimated that FS provided 1.4m jobs across the country and contributed £27.5bn in income tax and NI (12% of the total collected). You might think it's perfectly fine to put that as risk, but I don't. And one of us is wrong.
-
And for that reason, I'm out. Enjoy La-La-Land, SM.

When London ceases to be Europe's financial hub, I wonder how many of these jobs would be relocated to Frankfurt?
-
Those many millions of people would like us to be worse off, would they? I would hope that you'd recognise that if that could be definitively quantified then the debate would be rather different. However, it seems you haven't grasped this, so I'll give you an answer. 7.3

Hardly anyone is predicting economic "doom and gloom" outside of the EU, just that we would be less successful to some degree. I don't know why anyone would actively want that.

I don't want to think about Shane's Long Attribute.

Well, according to the communications guy at the press conference yesterday this has nothing to do with Sepp as he's only the President and therefore can't be held responsible for the actions of individuals within the organisation.

Of course we can, we've the greatest Navy in the world! If anyone gives us any trouble, we'll just send in the gunships.

It would be a blue version of Darlington home games, circa 2010.

Altogether now: Oooo when the mods! (Oooo when the mods!) Blend duplicate threads! (Blend duplicate threads!) Oooo when the mods blend duplicate threads It goes all wobbly for a moment Oooo when the mods blend duplicate threads Could catch on, John Boy.

If I was an owner of one of the countless small businesses ripped off by the club (or previous iterations of it) I'd still be fuming to see them splashing the cash on a new manager and players.
