Thats crap mate. Happened to me last year but on a slightly lower scale. Yes the weather is usually early 20's shorts all day every day. Been for the last 6 years and never once been disappointed.

I am genuinely intrigued about this excellent deal by boris. So excellent that some tories think it's no good, yet are willing to vote for it. That in my eyes is a true traitor to their country. Consciously voting for something they think isnt good. Bizarre to say the least.

It is an excellent deal! Boris promised to unite the country and deliver Brexit. He's already delivered half of that promise, we just didn't realise at the time that he was talking about uniting Ireland...

Farage plans to have candidates up here too - good luck with that Nigel! The Tories will lose at least ten of their seats, either to SNP or Libs. Labour will be lucky to keep the seats they've got.

Outwith of Brexit, we also have Independance to factor in to our votes up here

SNP - pro-Indy, anti-Brexit
Libs - anti-Indy, anti-Brexit
Tory - anti-Indy, pro-Brexit
Green - pro-Indy, anti-Brexit
Lab - undecided-Indy (SNP will hold them to ransom on this if they need tbe numbers), unclear-Brexit

Thankfully, I'll be sat by the pool on election day so don't have to chose!

If the SNP get in and win another Independence Referendum, is it their intention to leave the U.K. with or without a deal, Steelers?

Asking for a friend.

It's a good and fair question. I'm opposed to Scottish independence, but being fair to the other side, the SNP did publish a 600+ page document prior to the referendum vote, so at least people could legitimately understand what they were voting for. Quite different from the myriad of Brexit visions we have/had, which has partially led to the challenges we are now facing.

Watford that's a silly comment. Bojo made a gaff once and he is a racist. Corbyn has history and people are in denial. Plenty of Labour MPs have made racist comments Abbott/Lammy spring to mind
My Tory MP is not a racist and is respected (other than his Brexit views).
we shouldn't tar everyone.

I’m not tarring everyone. Just saying you can’t pretend only one party has a race issue. Corbyn himself has never said anything anti-Semitic to my knowledge while Johnson has been blatantly and proudly islamophobic.

Long old day when I can watch the rugby, not drive 400 miles and spend £100 on tickets and petrol instead. £39 is scandalous. In short, can’t be arsed.

I’ll do Barnsley however well or badly we’re doing next month as it’s not a ground I’ve done if you want a lift.

Work aside Barnsley could be fun as I haven't been there either. I think we have a tough few games before. I will give you a buzz nearer the time. :emoticon-0148-yes:
