Canaries will be singing tonight. Well that's my prediction and hope. And more feathered friends as Cardiff bounce back - again I hope :emoticon-0107-sweat Now back to cooking a leg of Lamb with gravy with just a hint of mint. New potatoes ,red cabbage with dates (a little Sahara in that...

Hi Dave, Hi all. Been having some bad times of late so went AWOL. Some order now back in place. Life almost seems normal. Dave great to see the Canaries are still on course although it is looking tighter up there. Good to be back. C'mon u'orns<cheers>

Here you seem to be on a different page to me Cologne. I'm looking towards the future, either: a) outside EU b) inside EU Your latter comments assume the world will be driven by great global powers and resistance is useless. Yet strangely there are many examples of small entities doing very...

cologne I can think of about 5000 minority groups who were not considered as an important element by the Brexiteers. I can think of about 5000 minority groups who were not considered as an important element by the Remainers. So what? I as you know live in Spain. I considered expats. I...

Cologne you should be ashamed of yourself. You can only dream of being an immigrant from Mali. If anything convinces me being out of the EU is the way to go, it is what you've said. The self-righteous and selfish position makes me feel sick. If after 30 years in Germany they treat you in...

Thank you Toby. So point proven. As I said it wasn't aimed just at you, but making sweeping generalisations, that are clearly false, just bolsters the opposition. The truth is that you believe, like many, that the benefits outweigh the negatives under most likely circumstances. Why is it...

So why your previous post "Reconciliation ? Has any Brexiteer ever stopped to think about the effects of their actions on ex pats such as us ? Have they ever expressed any understanding, or remorse, or apologies to us ? The whole thing happened over our heads, and without our being asked for our...

That is the same here. I appreciate changes impact people but equally I think locals need protection. If you are in a job in Germany that no German can/wants to do I'm sure you'll have no trouble. But are Germany doing nothing to help current expats? Here the agreements between the UK...

So all governments should only take action if every single member of the population will feel no negative impact? How would that work exactly? To be honest Cologne I'm in Spain and here I'm sick to death with whinging expats (I know here most are just retired people milking the UK economy and...

It isn't hard to fathom as Corbyn makes it clear his party has no policy to offer. But yesterday he said that it was the job of the oppostion to put forward alternative policies. I can see why May didn't call Corbyn to just here criticism. She can call you or me for that ;) I'm baffled by...

It looks that way Superhorns but please treat those of a different persusion with respect :emoticon-0115-inlov. I also think the EU at the last minute will negotiate a change over period. For a start the admin.systems will not be in place. And as for the Irish border the UK will not erect...

Toby you clearly believe that the EU is wonderful and we under all circumstances would be better off within it. I see little point responding to your points because you see one scenario in each case. But this last paragraph is just unreal. First I'm not in Spain under any free movement...

And it didn't take long. Tusk has opened his mouth. But to be fair most other EU and European leaders have been tactful. Many pointing out the damage of hardbrexit not only to the UK but to the EU - and not trying to tell the UK what to do. And interesting question is: If there is a...

Boys calm down ;) For sure things are much clearer now. The EU has the power, as does HM Government, to go for a hard Brexit on the 29th. Either side can force that. And as superhorns says there is an interesting scenario where the default hard brexit simply happens. The only alternative...

Great cup tie. I think I hope Newcastle fluke it. Blackburn look like they are relaxed and having fun. <cheers>

Difficult to predict the pound it being already undervalued. But instant reaction is positive but not by enough for anyone to get excited. I think wharever happens the pound will not move a lot. I know I moved my economy around so I'm 50% Euro 50% pound, so totally nuetral. Rather boring but...

OK Toby I'll take this at face value. Basically 31/12/2020, 31/12/2025, 31/12/2030 and 31/12/2050 the UK will most likely exist as a country with a population of more or less 70 million people. The quality of life for those people, and their aspirations for future generations, will depend on...

Toby you know that is not true. Why is it both sides have to exaggerate to a ridiculous level (even a five year old would be surprised by), to make their point? No wonder those of us willing to weigh up the options, and then make a decision based on the current situation find it so difficult...

Duncan? A late (badly timed) tackle? No it was a perfect tackle and didn't draw a foul. And not long after that the whistle and Endean's goal was enough. Very happy days. And I remember when Wolves called off Duncan's testimonial I was lucky enough to go to the concert given by our Elton...

Sorry OFH I accidently posted part of my post. Old age setting in. But yes it would be interesting to see a return of DM.
