Brexit, for once some facts.

I couldnt care less either what identity folk chose, after all I think most would have guessed Zlatan isnt my real name.

I even correctly guessed you didn't live at the North Pole!

(that will baffle some of the newer members. )

Tut - tut Dan! You`re beginning to sound like your TD there.

No I shortened it from "Oh no! Not another kiwi!"

cant imagine you got too much "oh non, pas un autre kiwi" in France, or did you?

 

[tommie]

on a different level you and 5hz's quite fixed obsessionality is a worry. if all brexiters are equally anankastic, one has to - as a remainer - be worried about what it would take for reality to intrude on your delusional inner worlds. Its obvious that you're not capable of rational argument. I hoped a hard Brexit and the subsequent socioeconomic hemorrhage might get through to you. But this somehow makes me doubt it. perhaps were heading for the nadir of british society, a bit like the days before the fall of rome.

Eh??....Even Google Translate can`t handle all that?!!

If you google your forum name you get this...

I like that last one, even more baffling than some of the posts in this thread.

So whats the real reason for `Flecc` - i`m going with it`s short for something??

Isnt there a swear word in there AK? AFK or NAFK?
Our crew used to have a Top Cat award for best performer, the TC award actually meant something else and was awarded to the least popular, mouthy individual. Amazing how many would run to bar proclaiming to have won the TC award...thinking it meant Top Cat for being coool and all that, when actually it meant opposite..
So, if you ever won a Top Cat award on a sailing holiday... Keep quiet...

Correct. It's 62.5% of my Italian surname and a friendly way many have addressed me over time, especially in my army years.

In some languages (but not in Italian) it refers to wool or fleece.

I am getting worried, on the route from Lorient towards Morlaix in Brittany , there is a farm growing and selling kiwi , frightening prospects ,with a world cup looming.

I know its OT and some more same old same old but
Who realised Slovakia only had a 13% turn out in last EU election?
Their population is around 5.5 kk... So that means that only about 750,000 voted and they have 14 MEPs. So roughly maximum support each MP got was 50,000 (assuming uncontested, could be far worse if a few stood for individual posts), yet those MEPs now represent a voting power of 655,000 Europeans.!!!!??? (ie 500kk/751)
That is a strange vision of democracy..

... taken from a news cobference today Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said it is certainly possible that Britain would ask for an extension of its 29 March deadline to exit the European Union, but not inevitable.
Speaking ahead of the All-Island Civic Dialogue on Brexit, he said: "I don’t think it's inevitable. It's certainly possible. If there is going to be an extension, it needs to be with a purpose, it needs to be with a view to securing and ratifying an agreement.
"I don’t think anyone would like to see this stalemate or impasse or period of purgatory continue for months ...

Why are you such a fool. What happened to you?

I won't tempt providence, there's more than enough friction already.

As an answer,I suspect the Slovaks did. So in what way does this gem improve the knowledge of mankind? Was the franchise mysteriously removed from millions,or were they entitled to vote?

A bit like Scotland in relation to the UK. They have their own parliament and government looking after almost everything but defence and diplomacy, yet have 59 MPs for the UK's administration in the House of Commons.

Their position is almost exactly like that of the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands, but they have no MPs in the Commons.
