2 days to kick off. Feel free to join.

Which Virgin package are you on for broadband Frankito? I pay a lot to Virgin monthly for the works including TV, phone and broadband. I could pay less elsewhere I'm sure but in spite of all the complaints about Virgin, I don't know who else has fast broadband in our area and I'm not sure of taking the risk of changing. We have intermittent problems with Virgin.

A Brexit plus. Medicines to get priority over food. I'm guessing a plus will be it will assist the obesity crisis... https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/medicine-will-be-prioritised-over-food-if-no-deal-disrupts-supply-chains-says-matt-hancock-a4051166.html I like the last paragraph where we get another mention of 'new technology', which does seem to be the answer to just about every imaginable problem.

Anyone done this before? If so can I pick your brains? What planning went into it? Was it costly overall? Would you recommend anyone/ any company?

You may have seen this before or on the same thread.....(in response to RD's last post)

I was surprised to see the ex owner/manager? coming out of it recently. I seem to remember he wasn't very popular.

And finally....

A reminder how points are scored.

In response to your comment that people can't be bother to reply to your post, I will try and do it bit by bit. Read this with regard to nationalising industries and perhaps explain where it is wrong? https://www.anothereurope.org/lets-be-clear-nationalisation-is-not-against-eu-law/ With regard to unelected institutions see below:

Reminder to new and old participants. Still a week to go.

I like this EU myths site. It includes potatoes and sex toys among many other things: https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/suns-imperial-up-yours-to-brussels-falls-down-on-the-facts/

TheCat, is it not easier for you to stay here as an Aussie? You would have had a vote in the referendum unlike EU citizens. A while back I heard an Aussie on the radio saying he voted to Leave as he thought it would make staying in the UK easier for him.

This is a great thread on all the EU laws the UK has had to suck up over the years...?..

This Dutch woman is 77 and lived here for 50 years... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-home-office-eu-nationals-settlement-65-dutch-woman-elly-wright-a8737856.html

Isn't a cinema for seeing films? A drink too maybe. Why would you want to eat there too especially in this area? What's next, expect to do the weekly shop at the cinema?

Jeez Red, the signs are looking good for you. She is indeed 90. Joe Schmidt is Ireland's coach. Kiwi born and returning there after this year's world cup.
