Hair splitting.

Robdon has posted many times on this subject, most of them in this thread.

Gray and others like to imply he never posts on this subject, but they are clearly very wrong as I've pointed out many times. Robdon is probably the smartest of all, not wasting time repeating his views, simply clicking his Approval/Disapproval to others typed views.

you mean not opening himself to any scrutiny of his views. If you are not contributing you should not have the right to comment on others views. That's what a debate is about.

Noticed the DM healine today, bemoaning lack of purchasing power of the pound impacting British tourists.

Yes, that is an issue. But there are so many more ways in which we will be seriously impacted that seems like the lesser end of the spectrum. Still, makes a headline.
that's alright. Take your holidays in the UK and bring our coastal towns back to life. Some wonderful places to see in the UK

How funny. Not only are you wrong but you think you own this thread as if it’s an achievement in life.
Yes it's funny, my comment on the thread superiority was humorous to tease Zlatan, who has no sense of humour.

As you well know, I've posted very disparagingly about this thread, including saying there may be a place in hell waiting for me for starting it.

And that my only purpose was to relay the link to a radio program on the subject, never intending it to become an outlet for the subject.

In truth the original thread, "Leaving the EU" was and still is far more appropriately titled for this discussion. It would be better to revive it for the years ahead and let this unsuitable one die.

Of course the thread "Leaving the EU" I also started like so many great threads in here. That was also to introduce a radio link to a program, that time titled "How to make a Brexit". It's still available to listen to.

He has given some brief views for others to comment on, just not repeated them ad nauseum.

Here's the link to his nine posts on the subject in the three threads.

As if the vapid tripe you and leave voters come up with contributes, or opens up critical debate? Does "I like reese mogg's sense of humour" ring a bell?

Just had a schadenfreude moment. RM has a stinking headache and sends his minions to buy tablets containing 5 grains of aspirin. You won't find many of them for sale so he will just have to put up with that stinking head.

(Mind, 300 and 325 milligram tablets are common enough. Being converted five grains using either 60 or 65 milligram conversions.)

An die (Schaden)freude, anyone? Ludwig, how does it go?

I agree he, s probably smartest, rest is Flecc squirming. Your quote clearly wasnt "this thread". Its splitting threads not hairs.
You were wrong, just admit it.But you can't, and as OG would add, can you?

There could be an encyclopaedia of reasons to holiday within the UK. But just what does taking back control mean if we are then confined to our own shores? It is a reduction in choice and freedom. (Leaving aside issues such as visas and being non-EU for passport control, etc.)

I never squirm. You know full well what Gray meant , like others implying Robdon never posts on the subject.

That's because like others, including you, he didn't realise or remember that there were three threads on the subject running simultaneously back then with those interested posting in all three.

So you split hairs on an irrelevant detail.

'Mass brawl' breaks out on cruise ship Britannia



Plates and furniture were reportedly used as weapons after a mass brawl broke on a British cruise ship.

The alleged fight took place as P&O's Britannia returned to Southampton from a week-long trip to Norway's fjords.

Good Morning Britain journalist Richard Gaisford, who was on board, said he had been told the incident was sparked by a passenger taking offence at another holidaymaker dressed as a clown.

P&O Cruises confirmed the incident and Hampshire Police is investigating.

'Violent confrontation'

He added the people suspected of being behind the violence were confined to a cabin for the last day of the cruise.

Gaisford said the violence occurred after a black-tie evening and an afternoon of "patriotic" partying on deck, when large amounts of alcohol were consumed.

He said one witness "explained to staff that things kicked off when another passenger appeared dressed as a clown. This upset one of their party because they'd specifically booked a cruise with no fancy dress. It led to a violent confrontation."

The post you quoted was on "Insult to democracy" thread and he told us Iceland had just beaten England at football. If thats your definition of posting on this thread on subject then you are right.

There’s no denying it G unit. The spirit of the Empire is back!

We should invade, sorry liberate Iran and bring it under our control. New busses. The lot. We will sell the oil and organise the country.

Early days but we need to aim high!
Keep this up and you will be able to limbo dance under the toilet doors in the Gents.:cool:

Thought you liked Luxembourg. Their practices make ours look more Morris Dancers than Peaky Blinders.
I have never expressed any opinion on Luxembourg, have I ?
But you most certainly have, don't include me in whatever delusions you have about that country.
"You thought?" no, you tried to imply something, didn't you, and it was a lie.

Rubbish. Gray's post said "this thead". You quoted Robdon from a thread started by "deleted member" (think it was Flud) named "Insult to democracy".
This thread means this thread not some other thread you choose to link to this one. Besides it was 37 months ago and wasnt THIS thread.
As usual stretching truth beyond breaking to justify your errors. Its how you defend Corbyn. Defending indefensible.
As Fingers says, Flecc is never wrong,well not in his own mind.
Obviously you did not bother to correct your position. I have identified such a posting, and it took me 20 seconds.
