Dan, what does that awareness ribbon relate to? Couldn’t really find it unless it’s lymphoma.

It’s done it’s job by promoting me to ask.

One of the mods on the Sunderland board - cracking bloke - died of cancer the other week and his family knew this was a big part of his life. It was suggested those who knew him on here (and he was a stalwart of the Premier league board) use it this week.

The Danish Gov't has decided to unilaterally allow for all UK citizens domiciled in DK prior to March 29, exactly the same status rights as before.
I may also have played down the effects of trading on WTO in some of my previous posts - wholly apologise.
Have had a series of meetings with 2 of the main Accountancy firms and the Indirect Tax issue is going to be quite a burden.
In shipping we have always been quite adept at avoiding these things through the complexities of how and where vessels are flagged - I'm always petrified when I see these sheisters (The Big 5) + the Mkinseys/BCG etc licking their lips at the prospect of new business.
Let the stock piling begin!!

That special place in Hell is going to be rather busy - of course if it is endothemic, it ironically will quite a nice climate in time, I'm sure Tusk hasn't thought of that.

Danish I think the EU passed a law on citizens living in the EU only last week which is better late than never.
As for no deal... I thought we were heading that way up until last night when the trechorous Olly Robbins spoke in that bar. I am not sure if this is all some plot but if it is then it is not fair on people and trade. Many Brexiteers tweeted about the incident so I believe it was true. May needs to sort her life out regarding Brexit.

mmm that awful Cooper is going to table another amendment to extend leave date. She wants it to go into law meaning if May's deal fails they will extend hoping that Brexit will be reversed. I thought after her last disaster she would have quit? These politicians are really making me sick as a voter. Their job is to work for the people not undermine us at every opportunity. Hopefully the electerate will oust her at the next election. Enemy within.

That's why I gave up. That was posting the link without embedding.

I did that the other week. I copied a post from Sky news where the Tory bloke walked off during the interview with Kay Burley and they removed it only for a redacted version to appear after.

UK inflation fell to a two-year low in January, dragged lower by falling energy bills and fuel.
The Office for National Statistics said the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) was 1.8% last month, from 2.1% in December.
January's fall, partly offset by higher air and ferry fares, was bigger than economists' forecasts and comes as latest data shows wages rising by 3.3%.
Inflation peaked at a five-year high of 3.1% in November 2017, and was last at 1.8% was in January 2017.
Economists had forecast that CPI would fall in January to 2%, the Bank of England's inflation target.

in other good news there is speculation that lower inflation could lead to lower prices for plasterboard

The blue sheep have stopped spending ... they are off their food therefore the farmers have plenty of feed in stock

Of course inflation will drop as will sheep farts

The remoaners are making a 'final project fear push'. Media/business. They are all on TV today scaring the crap out of us. <yikes>. Even Ford are having a pop...mmm I seem to remember Ford playing naughty before (and we were in the EU)!
Let's just hope for the sake of democracy that May sticks by her guns.

I also notice that no one has mentioned 'Fintech' and the mass investment.

Guy Verhofstadt has warned Brexiteers such as Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg that they could suffer a similar fate to that meted out to the leaders of the French Revolution, who were executed on the guillotine.
The incendiary claim came as billionaire investor George Soros predicted on Tuesday that Eurosceptic parties could destroy the EU after making gains in May’s European Parliament elections.
Mr Soros warned that the European Union was “sleepwalking towards oblivion” and could collapse as quickly as the Soviet Union did in 1991, unless it woke the “sleeping pro-European majority” before the elections.
Mr Verhofstadt attacked Conservatives who would reject attempts at forming a cross-party...
