... When he made the comments about making America great, i felt that maybe he was going to help Mexico, which is part of. America and even part of North America.... Well actually I didn't, but I hoped.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
This sounds interesting:
Ms Sturgeon is prepared to hold the indyref2 after brexit and may go for the Norway option.
"If the Brexit talks are completed and signed by March 2019 –within the two-year timescale set out by the Lisbon treaty – that would still meet Sturgeon’s demand for Scotland’s referendum to be held by spring 2019.
Sturgeon also faces a complex political challenge deciding whether to propose full EU membership or the “Norway option”, where Scotland joins the European free trade area to gain full single market access, without having EU control over fisheries and farming."

But that, as we well know isn't necessarily the judgement that History will make of him, many others with similarly bloated Egos have enjoyed huge popularity and often ended up with a grisly fate.
Well he did manage to get about twenty or so people to demostrate outside the high court,
It's a bit naughty surely to put any blame on Jesus for Trump being sent, his real boss in the basement may get as tillson would say
"A little Mardy"
I must look that up sometime, it could be rude!
You should know this seeing as you live in the north in Hull.
mardy
ˈmɑːdi/
adjective
NORTHERN ENGLISH
adjective: mardy; comparative adjective: mardier; superlative adjective: mardiest
- sulky; moody.
"you can get all mardy about it if you like"
early 20th century: from dialect mard ‘spoilt’ (describing a child), alteration of marred (see mar).
I have never heard the expression used by anyone in Hull!
Besides you said it is "Northern English"
Hull is in YORKSHIRE
(English is understood, but not spoken)
For the guidance of those less fortunates who are not actually from Yorkshire the Good old BBC 'Umberside have provided a handy guide
http://www.bbc.co.uk/humber/content/articles/2005/02/14/voices_hullspeak_glossary.shtml
This is by no means a comprehensive guide, many words like "Wassamarrawivyer" can be used as an interrogative.
You will note that the word "Mardy" is conspicuous by it's absence.
And a likely alternative to "Mardy" is most likely to be
Wassamarrwivyer, suffixed with Gotyerknickersinnatwistaboutsummat?
Which gives some idea of the sparkling wit and subtlety of the local patois.
I'm further south than you and it's quite a common term to use around here, so I just assumed the same would apply in your area.
Language variations in different regions is a strange science.
Because it's more an East Midlands expression.
.
And as it's well known that the boarder is near Watford. East Midlands is north England and Scotland is just ( unimportant)past it.
Since we are "into" Geography I decided to see if the Brexit Voters have prepared a map of the future "Brexitland"
For some reason they have Misspelled Hull as Hell, either that's a Freudian slip or the Artist has actually lived here., or is gifted with Clairvoyance!

Love the map in post #13279, OG!
With a little less levity, there is an excellent piece in today's Guardian from George Monbiot about the situation facing the Scots in the not too distant future.
I'm not convinced that Nicola Sturgeon is sufficiently charismatic to galvanise her audience in Scotland to actually vote for their long-held ambition to be independent of the rest of the home nations but it isn't difficult to understand why there exists so much support for that notion.
Translating that support into votes isn't quite the same thing as holding the opinion that their country could survive perfectly well outside of the UK, as Alex Salmond discovered. Their case won't be helped by another campaign of the kind we saw presented by some obsequious, lying, Westminster elite spokespersons last time the Scots took to the polls. Add to that the daily pro-union propaganda rammed down the throats of all those readers of the main UK press and it creates such a level of uncertainty that a pro-independence result starts to look unlikely.
Here's the link to Monbiot's piece:

If they are to be believed, and I don't believe them, opinion polls are indicating that anti-EU feeling in Scotland has strengthened since June 2016.
If true, this may be a big problem for my tiny friend.
