  1. How funny the first page of the match thread looks now !
  2. How right you are.
  3. J-Rod super strike.
  4. Davis making all the difference.
  5. Didn't see him miss the man he was supposed to be marking.
  6. Only because they are waiting to see what sort of fallout will occur when the true Brexit solution becomes clear.
  7. 'Earlier this year, Lloyd's boss John Nelson said London's status as a global insurance leader had been put at risk by the result of the EU referendum. He also said the company was looking into moving business out of the City, and warned: "It won't be Lloyd's losing out, it will be the UK."'
  8. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38324146 "A post-Brexit UK-EU trade deal might take 10 years to finalise and still fail, Britain's ambassador to the EU has privately told the government. The BBC understands Sir Ivan Rogers warned ministers that the European consensus was that a deal might not be done until the early to mid-2020s. He also cautioned that an agreement could be rejected ultimately by other EU members' national parliaments."
  9. CP does not set the team up for 0-0.
  10. We were 2 inches away from winning - J-Rod's miss and the keeper's block of Bertrand's shot. disappointing perhaps, but not a disaster, and one point more than we started with. ( How many people would have taken a draw before kick-off ? ).
  11. No, I'm just being clever.
  12. Look up Qualified Majority Voting.
  13. Generally it is done by weighting votes by size of national population, so probably gets close to democratic. A limited number of items require the full membership to vote, such as accepting the UK's proposals for post Brexit relations. When did UKIP declare independence ? Probably the majority of the most powerful people in the world are unelected. If they can interfere in the US Presidential election, why not our referendum ? I'm sure the grammar nazis could pick that question apart.
  14. You know what, I really hadn't thought of that ! Doh !!!
  15. Beat you to it ! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57597-Microsoft-technical-support#.WFBjen1Bwdo
  16. As an IT professional since 1982, I found this advice extremely helpful following the latest Win10 update, which has caused major issues with home networks; 'Microsoft has also offered guidance to those experiencing difficulties. "Some customers using Windows 10 have reported difficulties connecting to the internet," said a spokeswoman for Microsoft. "As a first step, we recommend customers restart their PCs. If this does not resolve the problem, visit our website for further support."'
  17. Don't do that. You're still a 'work in progress', but I haven't given up on you.
  18. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-zero-rating-of-womens-sanitary-products/vat-zero-rating-of-womens-sanitary-products "The UK is using this opportunity to provide for the reduction of VAT on women’s sanitary products to the zero-rate"
  19. It was agreed that they would be zero rated in March 2016.
  20. Surely you don't need for it to be explained that Spain and Argentina aren't trying to get into the club, they're already in.
  21. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/britain-wto-schedule-argentina-spain-brexit-latest-a7468766.html "Brexit Britain’s drive for a new World Trade Organisation settlement could be blocked by countries with which the UK has territorial disputes such as Argentina or Spain, experts warned today. The UK will need unanimous agreement from all the WTO’s 160-odd members for its new “schedule” to set baselines for future trade deals." 'Lesley Batchelor, director general of the Institute of Export.......“They know we want to get things sorted out, they know our timescale. That’s the trouble. We are not in a blind negotiating position, or in an even-handed one. We will have to compromise. This idea that any trade deal works with us being in the dominant position went out the window when we stopped using the Army as a sales force for the East India Company."'
  22. That wasn't promised in the referendum.
  23. As far as I can see, at present we are stumbling around in the dark, desperate for ideas, and without a clue as to what Brexit will ultimately look like.
  24. Didn't Mrs May support remaining in the EU ?
  25. Not quite the simile I would use, but it does convey the feeling.
