Thanks Ann, make it a 'large' please :-)

I saw a guy when I was on holiday recently, wearing a T-shirt which read
"F*** Google - just ask me"

I think we should club together and buy one :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Doesn't take "hours" to Google. Unless you're doing it wrong lol.

No, he is the sad old git who spends hours on Google looking up what he wants to look clever about this time.

Yeah I'm not going to lose any sleep over it sometimes the truth hurts. Right off to live life rather than sit on here all day, all the time with my eyes on that high pedestal........

Caroline, I think he already is the sad old guy sitting in the corner nursing his pint and moaning.

I don't know I go away from the boards for a few hours and come back and my post has disappeared ??!!! Was it rr'd and removed in a few hours ?? Didn't think it was offensive......oh well....

Oh leave him alone. Let's have one thread that is not about him.

you might not get what you thought but instead yesterday's pie reheated

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

it must be so lonely up there on high moral ground ;-)

Far too early to start dissecting what may or may not be going to happen.

I voted OUT as I have stated before and I'm quite willing to have the patience to see what the UK can negotiate.

Rollo lets be honest here, it's been said before like in all elections both sides lied and both told some truths, they all say whatever needs to be said to get their share of the votes. You've made it very clear your view both before and after the vote and no one on here expects you to ever say anything positive about the whole thing. That said had the remain vote won I'm sure you'd have been generous in your victory and not rubbed anyone nose in it so to speak.
Can we all just agree to disagree and just get on with day to day living before you end up the sad old guy sitting in the corner moaning into his cup of tea/pint of beer/glass of wine/whatever.

yes, Dermot I wondered that too.

"It is a paradox that the victory of the secular age is that political arguments are won by beliefs rather than facts. No longer is debate rooted in opinions that can be tested by rivals presenting a case based on empirical evidence. Referendums, which can unlease pent-up passions and where small conspiracies can seize the democratic process, are particularly well suited to this subversion. Yes the people have spoken. But the facts did not.

Proper democracy is far more than a ballot. A referendum can be a “safety valve” but it should not be the locomotive that drives the politics. That democratic process must include deliberation, mature institutions and checks and balances. There are big questions to answer: on why our economic model of growth has failed to deliver for many people. On what our role in the world should be. On how we need to come together – rather come apart – as a country. This requires an atmosphere of civil rational debate.

The far right preys on the weakest members of society and by letting anti-immigrant rhetoric bed in we are eroding civil rights not strengthening them. We must take into account how seductive extreme messages of hate can be. Any comparison with religious fundamentalists fails to recognise that they could never take over mainstream political debate. Extremists can do this simply by popularising racism. This is the arsenic in the water supply of any nation. Britain should be wary of being seduced by the charms of people who trade in the politics of poison."

I am sure there were many who did not listen to the propaganda this time because they had been waiting since we joined for just such an opportunity to leave.
