Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Imagine a debate between Farage or Boris and Olney , I'd pay to watch that.

EL - much amused about your harrods experience

a few years ago i "discussed" the price of some art in a gallery in amsterdam and happened to mention that is was the middle of november and the city was quiet

the owner kindly gave me a decent discount as well as free shipment to uk :-)

75285 - could say the same about adolf hitler or billy graham or ronald reagan or joe stalin!

Very true Dil , that is what the woman in the audience on Question time said , we knew what we were voting for the gov kept telling us ,if you vote to leave you are voting to leave the single market .
I voted leave and know exactly what i voted for ,now lets leave,, the EU has a 70 Billion deficit with us they should pay us to trade .

70% of the richmond electorate voted to leave?
sounds more than unlikely to me

I think it's more like 70% of Richmond voted to stay.

And that's what sunk Zac:

His stand was about the third runway at heathrow, but the lib/turds turned it (very successfully) into a re-run of brexit.

Without the tory machine behind him, he was very much on a hiding to nothing.

Had to use a bit of, "'Ere, I paid good money for that!" with the new car.

You are supposed to be able to wave your left foot under the rear bumper and then, 'Whoops!', the boot opens.

Not so. Anyhow, I got home and it works now. So that's alright then.

The wheel arches stick out sideways. About 20mm on each wheel at least. After doing all the paperwork at the salesman's desk, he reminded me of this fact.

"It's highly likely, when you are parked up, that neighbouring cars are going to clatter your wheel extensions with their car doors. Fortunately, I can sell you a Policy to cover that. It's only £409.00, inc VAT and covers you for 6 visits per year for 3 years, making a total of 18 visits. The body work repair guy comes to your home. I would highly recommend it. Actually, it is so good, that nobody ever turns it down."

I didn't dare go "Call it £400, then?" I didn't want to spoil the whole experience.

Out came the bank debit card again. These guys are so good, aren't they?

Yeah sorry cynic I meant 70% voted to remain and she couldn't even poll 50% so where she thinks she gets her mandate from I don't know.

It's suggest some remainers actually accept the vote and are as fed up as the rest of us with the remoaners.

DIL - it sounds a silly point to make as it's so obvious, but of course your right


HAZE - ferndown parish council election or what?

really cross i couldn't watch today's rugby
i don't think anywhere obvious in dubai has sky sports ...... and they're only interested in the nancies game

I believe it was the election for the Great Dorset Steam Fair committee. Could be wrong.

I subscribed to a VPN service when I was travelling a lot. I could then watch UK programms on my iPad or laptop.

Local council

Is there some sort of purdah being imposed on Mondays supreme court thingy?

The newspapers don't seem to want to mention it.



But most important: What will happen if these worthies decide that your vote is meaningless?

It is being televised online and on Sky News.

Yes, Monday.

Where is the comment, analysis, argument?


The mail seems to be making an effort, but where is the graun (that well known champion of the working man) etc

A busy week in politics coming up, starting with today's votes in Italy and
Austria, then of course the supreme courts putting the wrongs by the high
court 'right' by reversing the unjust and undemocratic mistake that was made
at the high court in the first place...

All the vibes coming from Italy, that the Italian prime minster is wanting to
change the constitution to limit the power of the Italian parliament and give
more power to Brussels is going against Renzi, Renzi of course is a megga
europhiliac who is only to pleased to hand the running of Italy to Brussels...

As to Austria, which looks like it will be a close call, but hopefully Norbert
Hofer will win, and rectify the voter fraud that went on in the first vote...
