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.

Fred 75452 "I think I would prefer to be playing the EU's hand rather than
trying to play T.Maybe's hand"

Well thank goodness that little fred isn't doing the negotiations on the UK's
behalf, where he believes that the eu have a better hand then the UK's...

There's 27 other different countries in the EU, and only an handful that has
any meaningful import/export compared to the UK, the deficit with the EU
and the UK is near 70 BILLION POUNDS, they import more to us then we export
to them..

And if fred thinks its warmer being shackled to the eu, then bye, bye fred, go
live in one of the other 27 member countries, try Latvia, Romania, or Slovenia.

And while there do some research on how much THEY import/export, and
contribute to the eu gangsters in Brussels..


And THEY think they can hold the UK to ransom!!!!...

The EU budget is set every few years. The last time it was set we signed up to it. It involves us paying until 2020. We also have liability regarding pensions in the EU. That and a few other liabilities is where the £50 billion plus cones from that we will owe. I guess we will have to pay it if we want a deal.

If we cut the string now, that €50billion can be paid over the next three years, so no increase in contributions.

What must not happen is more years of paying in and then another bill to get out.

We can't cut strings without a deal.

Of course you can.

Simply revert to WTO rules .. there would be an interim agreement on St Theresa's desk within minutes.

Realistically, that won't happen. We will take our time and negotiate and then pay the £50 billion

Manuel,

A tip for you!

Exclusive: Britain will be front of the queue for trade deal with US under Donald Trump's new commerce secretary

Donald Trump’s commerce secretary has made securing a free trade deal between the US and Britain one of his top priorities, the Telegraph has learnt.

Wilbur Ross, the billionaire nominated to lead on trade in Mr Trump’s administration, is understood to be determined to lower barriers between the two countries.

He is said to have “extensive” business relationships and social links to Britain after decades as an investor and wants to embolden the “special relationship”.

The revelation, which comes from a senior Trump source, is a boost for Theresa May, who is planning to fly out to America to meet the president-elect early in the new year.

1. There are three bins, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges.

The bins have been incorrectly labeled so that no label identifies the actual contents of the bin it labels.

Opening just one bin, and without looking in the bin, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the bins correctly?

2. There are 100 coins laying flat on the table, each coin has a head side and a tail side.

10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up.

The puzzle is how to split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.

Correct answers could win you an eye pad or maybe even an eye phone.
