Barrister with short briefs has watery eyes!
well done to Ireland for latest win in soccer games - there they were all dressed in green. only problem was when they fell to the ground couldn’t be found for ages!
nice one gummy
How are you doing RJ.
Yes they did well beating the mighty Italy. Green is the colour the Harp is the emblem and the more strings you can pull the better off you’ll be, as any politician here knows too well.
Ah the old string vest Spitty, I never possessed one, never had the body for it, I was a thin teenager when they were all the fashion, chicken chest they used to call me at the swimming pool, I was desperate to have muscles and a moustache so I sent away for the Charles Atlas body building kit, Lego hadn’t been invented yet, what a waste of money that was, for the special diet alone, you’d want to be printing money, and me a mere apprentice on thirty bob a week, but they didn’t kick sand in my face at the beach anymore, they just buried me in it and walked away howling with laughter.
It took a while to realise the pen was mightier than the sword, you only need muscle when there is no ink in your pen.
the last time there was no ink in my pen my muscle failed me?
You should have dipped it in the well, pussy’s in the well.
never mind dipping pen in the well - what about cleaning out the channel?
Brexit the new scouring pad
Removes scum from the British canals
White cliffs will come clean, Rule Britannia will gleam
And they said to pull out would be bad?
I really don’t see what all the fuss is about,re the In/Out stuff.
it’ll be years before anything REALLY changes…atm,despite voting OUT…we’re IN. Ergo,as IN members of the United States of Germany,we’re still shovelling boatloads of wedge toward Brussels,still bowing to EU rules,regs and admin…but NOW,we don’t ‘have a seat at the table’.
SURELY,seeing as ‘out’ was the vote,that nice “Call me Dave” Cameron should be telling Johnny Foreigner to keep his/her ridiculously controversial laws and rules to him/her self & getting on with moving Parliament to Birmingham,so that it’s CENTRAL to this country,rather than in the stockbroker belt in the bottom right-hand corner,where it’s SO easy to forget that not everyone is a multi millionaire? After all,that WONDERFUL man, T Blair Esq,who as we all know is the epitome of honesty,has been peace envoy to the Middle East for some while now…and HASN’T he done a good job! And,while I’m on the subject…WHY,the very instant a tv camera does a close-up,do footballers feel the need to ‘hang a golly’ as they stroll across the pitch? Has anyone else noticed that? The very instant any footballer in any match is in ‘close-up’…“hawkkkk…phttttttph!”
Seems they are getting a bit angry and demanding Britain removes itself quick! and why not - the sooner the better make a clean sweep; tighten up the immigration laws and remove all existing illegal immigrants for starters.
I loved the story of some of the UK inhabitants explaining that they have made a mistake and had ticked the ‘Not stay in box’ but now they have changed their minds - tough tittys the ballot boxes cannot be re-opened.
Is there not a sense of refreshment - the old England is back - all travel arrangements must be changed and all those ‘other Europeans’ cannot just walk across the channel doing the JC trick!
I can imagine there must be a great feeling of resilience in 52% of the population at least. Now where does that leave Northern and Southern Ireland Jem? Can we still talk to you on here for example?
“Can we still talk to you on here for example” Anyone can talk to me anytime they like Gumbud, as long as it’s not politics.
Seeing this event is a milestone in history I will break my rule for a few seconds.
In my opinion Britain did the right thing and I admire the courage of the ordinary folk who voted out.
A referendum is the only way those at the top know whats going on at the other end, the fact that so many were ‘shocked’ just proves how far out of touch with the people they really were, everyone else knew the majority wanted out. Anyway it’s always a wise decision to leave a sinking ship the first opportunity you get, the EC as it is today is finished, it will dwindle back down to the original six it started off with, probably even less than six, then known as the common market, a good idea at the time, but like all good ideas prounced on by the corrupt and greedy.
Maybe the North of Ireland will team up with Scotland and come to some special arrangement with the EC who knows, interesting times ahead for the politically minded, enjoy yourselves and don’t mind me.
Oh,dear-I just had a thought! [I do,sometimes]
This means,rather than pay inflated prices for 2nd-grade steel from Europe…we’ll have to import it,from Cymru!
Pardon? …oh. Just been told Welsh steel is actually Indian. Hmm. Well,there won’t be any spare parts for Citroens-so I’ll have to drive a Jag…oh,hang on…Jag’s owned by they Germans - ok,I’ll have to drive a 30-year-old Land Rover!
…err…hang on…I already do! Oh-well in that case,yooz can SHOVE yer humus!
[hang on a mo-getting a message in my ear…]
Ah. Apparently,it’s called a ‘Hummer’ and it’s Murcan,not from That Europe.
[jolly confusing,this]
It does appear somewhat confusing Pug but it is early days. But 52% of the population said we’ve had enough. It would be quite fascinating to look at some stats county by county and even town by town - but if people consider they are getting an ‘old England’ back again - think again.
Take Bradford for example were you can count on one hand the number of historically British residents - how can you get old Bradford back again?
In a way I think the ‘NO’ voters panicked stimulated by the out of control immigration scenario in the rest of Europe - as a small nation island they imagined they would be swamped. and some would argue it already has been by legitimate immigration.
Country history, practices and language is important - swamp that too much and you have chaos. But before someone accuses me of bias I am all in favor of Wales, Ireland [well which ever part] and Scotland removing themselves from the United Kingdom and promoting once more their own customs, languages and rhythms of life!
Oh,don’t take I wrong,gumbud. I really couldn’t give a fig who lives where on this tiny speck of astral dust,as it whizzes through the majestic vastness of what we yumanz like to call ‘space’. I really couldn’t.There are enough ex-pat Brits living in enclaves in That Spain to fill Bradford twice over. No,that isn’t the bit I was referring to. I,having looked through it,understand that Article 50 has to be activated before official notification is given our our withdrawal.
Ok…with it so far… but THEN there follows a whole SHEATH of closely-typed,multi-applicable [according to circumstance] regulatory provisos that,if taken at worded value,actually delete any recognition of a legal requirement for the E.U. to recognise or accept the legitimacy of any country’s referendum results as being an acceptable reason for that country to be ‘given permission’ to withdraw from aforementioned union. Even though that country-the population thereof-had NO referendum regarding the joining of aforesaid union. Hmm…so,you CAN impose ‘democracy’!
Now…as you’re all well aware,je suis un bear of very little brain. However - even a thicko such as my dim,slow self,can see the GAPING ‘get out of jail free’ clauses that are RIFE,in that! S’funny…I sat at mate Malcolm’s gaff one Friday afternoon in late April and said exactly what would happen,how close the vote would be,that ‘call me Dave’ would resign the day after. I even said Nicola Sturgeon would immediately hit the ‘referendum’ button AND the reasons she’d give,hoping they’d sound plausible.
Just,sometimes,I wish politicians didn’t all seem to get into it for the power,the status and/or the money. Oh,how simple and happy the everyday dullard such as me would find life to be…ok,politicians as elected representatives of a country’s best interests,yes-but as ‘leaders’-NO!
I am SO glad we have a monarch…love her or loath her,she brings stability.
no probs there mate - just cut your own ties, ignore them and they cannot do a thing about it unless UK is of course highly reliant on some stable european countries?
the goobily gook sheafs of papers are meant to confuse which court in any land is going to recognize and act upon them - all England has to do is just walk away - simple -cutting each tie neatly as it does so - well that is what it voted for in the referendum wasn’t it. There is no need to be frightened OR take heed of the EU after all they are a load of prats!
oh dear me I see - 2million british prats have now instigated and signed a petition claiming they want another referendum and if that doesn’t do the trick maybe another and another and another - they are making Britain look very very silly.
what started off as a semi-serious action is now becoming a circus act!
Oh well better than watching East Enders!:-D:-D
What does the Ozzy press make of our antics?
Ah,yes…as I recall,RJJ,the Aussie press speculated on the inherent invalidity of fundamentally dysfunctional paradigms pertinent to instigation of artificially democratic impositions regarding interventional inhibition processes re pan-governmental procedures.
Well;it was either that or “So long,and thanks for all the fish”.
I forget which…
Fish? I love fish Pug, mine’s a smoked Cod.
There might be a bit of roughing it coming up, but it won’t last long and it clears the air for a new start.
An expensive star is missing from all the blue banners
Leaving the EC is very bad manners
So hold out your hand and receive your six whacks
Before you go back to work and pay your just tax.
It’ll be shoulders to the wheel and noses to the grindstone
And all of your ladies can only wear rhinestone
Darning your socks and heeling your shoes
All down in the pub singing the blues
Back to Blackpool for the Summer hols
Watching re runs of ‘Guys and Dolls’
Real ale and Devon cider
Or you could be off to Spain in a rented hang glider
But mark my words, it only hurts for a little while
And before you know it you’ll be wearing a proud smile.
the ozzy press have got their entire hands full with the last week election mania so a little skirmish in Europe can only manage to squeeze in occasionally - anyway as always they rely upon ozzie pressmen/women residing abroad and dressing in overcoats and scarves denoting the typical british summer.
as for fish and chips we prefer baramundi here which just jumps out of the rivers with gay abandonment and lands upon our extra large plates - the chips are served in extra large chippy cups!!
politically our liberal friends favor a monarchistic destiny whilst good old labor a republic - I think we need another Oliver Cromellian experience over here??:shock::shock:
