Brexit, for once some facts.

[guerney]

Now, now, the two of you can't abandon us like that.

People reveal themselves when stressed: I get the distinct impression Zlatan is a well brought up gentleman seeking truth.

I was chatting with the wife the other day about the recent discovery that leprosy, which is hosted in the livers of armadillos, help the organism to regenerate new, healthy, functional liver. To of course consume, so not entirely altruistically. But from a scientific point of view it puts regenerating ones organs, eternal life, within reach. If we can unravel the mechanism (a big if). Then we realised we were also talking about relationships, the way they can be ambiguous, ambivalent. Just saying, one never know where things might take one..

It's too darn cold to go slow jogging... even while wearing merino wool thermal underwear. Arteries are narrower when starting out cold, in the cold. I'd only do it after thoroughly warming the core first. Weirdly, the weather is forecast to become warm again in about three days. It's a long growing season this year, which I wish I'd planned for...

Your analogy juxstaposing leprosy and marriage, positively wrapped within the context of regeneration, I have no idea what to make of, but's it's certainly true that parts of relationships do tend to rot and drop off unexpectedly. Which reminds me of a joke: What did the leper say to the prostitute?

latest brexit polls: 32% brexit was right, 56% brexit was wrong, 12% undecided. That's the largest margin I've seen since the vote.
Over the last weekend, some government insiders claimed that government is considering a swiss style deal with the EU. By Sunday, the rumours were squashed, so brexiters are still running this government. Starmer can relax.

Over the last weekend, some government insiders claimed that government is considering a swiss style deal with the EU.

I don't know how anyone got that crackpot idea, obviously ignorance. The Swiss deal was totally dependent on them accepting complete freedom of movement. When they tried to duck out of that committment the EU gave them a nasty shock when they told them it would lose their whole deal, all 120 trade agreements.

The short bit of a radio program detailing that was what I opened this long thread with:

when a newspaper urges not to go soft, the reason is usally because they run out of good arguments.

The Director General or something in the CBI gave an opening speech on Sky this morning...he was setting the scene for Sunak ... . Well it's a long time since I heard such a well structured argument

@oyster - what did your neighbours think about their wall restructuring and garden makeover by loose-cannon car? They must have returned by now.

They had been contacted so knew all about it. Work is planned but all through them - they have spokenw ith me. But the person who did still not!

I wondered where you'd got to - perhaps monitoring the car and as a wise precaution, letting down the tyres whenever they were seen inflated.

But the person who did still not!

You lot dreamt it all of course. Invisible Welsh dragons strike again.

Regulation will kill crypto - I know a few people depending upon and (previously) living off it's rising value. Most seem to be holding on.

 

[Woosh]

Most seem to be holding on.

that's very risky. It's like a falling knife. You don't have to catch it rightaway if your pockets are very deep.
Crypto relies on cheap money. While money is cheap, financial institutions may put large sums into them but that is no longer true for at least a decade.

The Daily Fail has hit a new level of idiocy today with their headline “a bleak glimpse of what life could be like under Labour” when reporting on the forthcoming rail strikes.

So the Fail is trying to convince us that precisely what is happening now, under a Conservative government that actually is in power, is what would happen if the party who aren’t in power were in power.

That newspaper is dangerous because a big chunk of the U.K. population is thick enough to buy into this horseshit.

Those polls count for nothing. Little people aren’t allowed to reconsider a situation by assessing fresh evidence. That’s a job for our betters. Now remove your cap, bow you head and get back in line.

Who do you think you are coming on here with facts and hard evidence? That’s not how it works in the UK. If someone with a plumby voice, like Jacob Rees Mogg’s, tells you Brexit is going to deliver a goodness filled wonderful future, you believe it, regardless of what your eyes and ears are telling you.

I often don't get full advertised capacity of a replacement phone battery, until charging and fully discharging first time.

Took my Giant Fathom (500wh) about a dozen charges before I saw it hit 100%..Initially took it back saying it wouldn't charge above 97%,they did diagnostics and insisted it was fine. I didn't believe them but they have been proven correct. It reads 100% after charging now. (that first 1% lasts about 2 mins on bike tho, but bike's range is fine. (about 10% better in summer months tho)

 

[soundwave]

i had to charge and drain my new 500w bosch batt to get the most out of it but after 7 years that phone batt was ready to let rip

and pat is on strike so no batt till Monday
