Don't you love the edit button :-D

Oh yes, of course, Admirals and such are a 'bunch of HEO's in the sticks'.

However, before you edited the post, you said YOU worked in the Civil Service in London - hence my admission that I did.

Whereas YOUR Sir Humphrey, I can only surmise is the one from Yes, Minister, a fictional character. So much more important.

So you didn't work in the Civil Service, you were referring to a fictional programme which is MUCH more important than reality.

...and we were all meant to know that's what you were referring to....and editing it to suit your means ........
I knew there was a reason I didn't read the Beano after the age of 10!!

Sorry Rollo....that no was in relation to which question?

No..because I may it seems be one of the bears with very little brains :-D :-D

Rollo has worked everywhere, done that, worn the tee shirt, thrown it off an put another one one, haven't you worked that out yet....?

" a bunch of HEOs out in the sticks. "

Have you ever worked in one of those offices in the sticks Rollo?

Oh -haven't read the Beano since I was 10.

I used to be in the Civil Service, but as it was in Portsmouth, our jokes about the hierarchy were less restricted in who would appreciate/understand them

I was concerned your lack of 'b' may have been a reference to numbskullz.

Rolo, I think you'll find there's a 'B' in the word 'Numbskull' :-D :-D :-D


.Sorry to repeat myself but - .pot/kettle/black

Jerry Adams isnt best too happy either..........


O what a to do.........but like the song goes,

Put your shoulder to wheel and carry on or It aint over till the fat lady sings.

Its happeing,,,,,so suck it up or get off to Westminster and kick off.


I remember a film once where the nice man said.

Hey Joe.......Give the lady a chance. ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Not having a pop..

just pointing out like.

C&P ,,with the DUP runs a very real risk of annihilation for the Tories in the next election quite likely this autumn.

C&P.Another election impossible.

C&P,
Callaghan was propped up by the Irish who then whipped away the ladder. The Tories won't repeat the mistake.


but then controllers dont like to be pulled up.


just admit your **I am right** statements were by a slim chance..........wrong.

:-P :-P :-P :-P

Maybe we should have a poll on it?

I (personally) think all MP's are spouting hot air at the moment, JoyLouise.
All postulation and no fact.
Until we know the result of the 1922's Committee meeting, and whether the DUP will definitely be on May's side - then whether the Queen's Speech gets through - no-one knows anything! :-D :-D

Just dashing in to ask whether anyone saw the news (I think) last night when someone (an MP?) said that it would be a hard Brexit or no Brexit?

I was busy at the time and missed much of it.

If I heard right, does anyone think that we're only heading for no Brexit and government is going through the motions simply to show us that Brexit is not going to be palatable to the public?

I am interested in knowing whether I heard what I think I did.

I would assume any party from any part of the country wouldn't do a deal for free no matter who was asking.

As for betting ...it's like going to the casino and placing loads of bets each time, maybe once in a while you'll win Rollo. I don't reckon any forecast is a waste of time, the weather forecast has improved a lot lately, and just to hedge their bets they often throw in a 30% chance of showers so if it does rain you were warned if it doesn't you're happy. :-)

We can go over this time and time again but it's obvious you'll not able to listen to anyone else point of view, and it's not just me saying it so why bother.

Brexit

EDIT sorry, that was a one word answer to Sue's question lol, brevity is king ;-)

Some live in their own world of suppositions, Rolo, some in the real world.
Anyone who contradicts you is insulted by you, so not much point in anyone else voicing an opinion is there?

Rose, I don't think she realises how siding with the DUP could harm the peace process.

Supporters of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) have (allegedly) been asked by Portadown Loyal Orange Lodge if the demands could include allowing a banned loyalist march to be part of an agreement by the Northern Irish party to prop up a minority Conservative government.
They'd like the Gavaghy Road March to be reinstated.
They are currently prevented from marching in Gavaghy Road, following a long history of sectarian violence,

Labour tried to do a deal with DUP in 2010, so what's the big deal?

It seems logical that the DUP will want to benefit from any support they give the Conservatives ( keeping this simple because I am a simple soul lol) extra funding for infrastructure etc etc plus a deal on a 'soft' border has already been mentioned.

I do not think that England, Scotland and Wales will be best pleased to see taxes go up to pay for the inevitable pot of gold the DUP will ask for?

So whether Mrs May is in charge of Brexit negotiations or not ( and personally I think she should be, you reap what you sow lol ) then she is going to have to walk a very fine tightrope.

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

I could be wrong, but I believe sentences are quite handy when posting.

...or is that only for 'some' of us?

Is the inability to understand drivel a sign of ignorance or - a sign of incredible intelligence, ie: why should I be ar8ed?
