Current Affairs EU In or Out

[bigbadjeff]

Thought you had me on ignore ???

One strange individual you are

I knew we’d get a crank in here today, it’s like playing Brexit bingo

You are a total idiot or a win. I don’t put idiots on ignore so I’ll probably have a snigger at you.
I learnt a lesson several yeas ago in here. Never argue with idiots, as they drag you down to their level and beat you over the head with experience. You are that idiot, goodby.

I'd just have a Northern Ireland backstop until such time as the technology is in place. The chances are it wouldn't be required anyway if we're still talking about a 2 year transition period.

To be honest, why not make it a permanent feature. It would be great for the area with lots of pro EU business's investing there, and better still it would totally stick it up that horrible Crankie woman

And the only thing that's stopping the obvious solution is the fact that the DUP is propping up the government. So unless or until that is resolved it is back to square one.

To be fair we tried to force Gina G onto them

That was one of our better attempts mate.

Ironic ..

I must admit I do get a bit worked up watching the nil points racking up. I go all gammonish. Especially when the Irish and Aussies join inlol

Don't get me started on the Aussies being allowed in.

I’m guessing by your posting style, spelling and grammar that you’re not sober again tonight then ?

Come on, you can't compare classical music to what we have given the world with regards to popular culture, only the US can go toe to toe with this tiny set of islands when it comes to music in the last 100 years.

You never said "popular" music.

You just said "music" innit.

So you put wins on ignore instead ?

@Jurts aside thank Christ you are alive.

Last night I thought you had been taken hostage and was sending us coded messages.

Let's see if he starts talking to himself again before drawing any conclusions.

If was to put a top 100 list of bands and acts from around the world

Then it would be heavily reflective of UK & US pop culture, as they are huge industries with massive global reach.

I'm not sure how that translates to you being able to objectively assess music quality though.

I always think it's weird that the EU let Australia into Eurovision. Israel too.

 

[The binman chronicles]

That was one of our better attempts mate.

Because she is Australian.

I think the fact that since the 90's you've had the inclusion of the countries that were formally batched together as Yugoslavia and the USSR and it has led to way more political voting and that further shunts the UK down. Not that Iraq helped and what we are doing now. Sometimes you have to take your medicine.

Also to answer another posters point, what might sound great to him in English might not appeal to the average Albanian. We can't assume that just because we like it others will. Eurovision is a peculiar beast and people should not be using that as a barometer for anything.

And the only thing that's stopping the obvious solution is the fact that the DUP is propping up the government. So unless or until that is resolved it is back to square one.

If he can come back with a deal from the EU that can bring on board the 30/40 Labour leavers, and satisfy the ERG (not sure how the latter can be done) he won't need the DUP. Then go for a GE and then hopefully one side or the other can come out with a majority cos I'm totally cheesed off with nothing getting done in this country.
