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.

Nice to see they're not messing about with bum cream, eh?

You use that for the Chalfonts, Doc?

:o)

Not sure yet, Hils. I'll ask me cows and kisses to have a butchers.

currant bun is SON not sun

the above must be a list for the americans so they can play at being cockneys

Thanks, me old china. Have duly edited currant bun.

there's so much wrong in that list, it's just ridiculous

The best cockney talker was I think Kenneth Williams....used to go from posh to cockney and back again.....insanely funny....

Boris lying in front of a bulldozer?

No chance.

He is unprincipled and would lie in front of anything.

But an admirable foreign secretary representing his party.

.

Fred: Unlike your pal Jeremy Corbin that would lie in front of anything as he clearly would not sprout such trash to get a few votes if he had any respect for himself and his cowardly comrades that are in fear of his bully boy tatics.

CT and i often disagree, but certainly it's hard to determine whether or not JC (as supposed voice of the labour party) supports LHR 3rd runway or even more importantly, brexit

of course mccluskey, the paymaster, strongly supports both 3rd runway and staying in europe ....... but JC remains decidedly undecided on both issues while skulking in the shadows

at least the tories are openly split about brexit ....... but then so is the country at large
that said, the referendum unquestionably came down in favour of leaving eu
whether or not that was a wise decision, will only be known 20+ years hence

of course, had JC come out loud and clear in favour of IN, as were the wishes of the labour party in general, then the referendum result may well have been different
as it was, JC just bleated lamely somewhere in the background,

What do you understand by T May's Brexit.

Seems a bit like going into a Chinese restaurant with the menu in Chinese characters and saying that you will have No 9.

No wonder there is confusion.


Please explain the differing goals to me as set out by the present cabal leading "negotiations".

As far as Heathrow is concerned, will London need an enlarged airport if Brexit goes through?

in answer to your last bit, apparently very much so, as London is and will remain an international hub

the likes of Schiphol and CDG absolutely could not cope with the volume

No.

London will go down the Thames if Brexit occurs.

ah so you're an air traffic expert too
is there no limit to your knowledge?

Fred, London is not England and if it goes down the river to Boris`s prefered option then a result for the British Bulls. All this nonsense about Brexit, if the British just got on with it, and pulled out - the country would rise to the challenge , take it on the chin and move forward in the same way as the market did within days of the vote two years ago.

Since the vote the market has hit record levels, the same would happen if Britian got out without a deal and May went to the Country - she would drive Labour to get a new leader.

Manuel.

As you are obviously a genius, what do you understand the goals of T. May and cohorts are in their Brexit negotiations are?

Or are they hoping for a vote of No Confidence before they have to sign a piece of white paper?

It is pretty obvious the con party and the country as a whole doesn't trust the present incompetent government to make any deal which is sensible.

The tory party is a laughing stock in Europe.

I'm not aware of anyone in Europe laughing at Brexit or the Conservative party, Fred. That said, the current Tory government is a total embarrassment, and the cracks have only deepened since Cameron was stupid enough to trust the people to make the decision he wanted.

The differences are merely cultural, and the EU negotiating tactics are therefore different as a result, but the EU simply want what's best for them, and vice-versa with the UK. I'm sure a deal will be done at the 11th hour.
