No Virgin Media since Thursday morning
Alan Medic replied to worldwiser's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Apart from the problem of a couple of weeks ago, I've found Virgin b'band to be good. Usually get over 50 loopins or whatever it's measured by. -
Trains cancellations - latest

I can see myself doing that regularly. Given the reduction in services does anyone know if the cost in a monthly ticket will be reduced accordingly? Mine has just run out. -

You seem to know what is going to happen before it happens, if it ever does.I do not believe people will be kicked out of the country. Do I know for certain? I don't. How do you know? As for jobs being re-located, well if that happens it will be down to the idiots who voted for it and whoever pushes the button on Article 50. You know what. I bet no one pushes the button as parliament will over rule the result. They are bound to get something right occasionally.

Does your edit mean you don't think my post is offensive any more?

My wife has a Spanish one, and we have Irish passports.Only my son was born here. You said you can get an Irish passport yet you appear to becoming frantic about something that may never happen.

Austria, who told you that then? You're not getting confused with the Celts shipped out to Australia are you?
-
I've never built a life of being a citizen of anywhere. I'm not sure what it means to be honest. Your life is your life. It doesn't depend on politics. Enjoy it if you can. Anyway if it worries you so much at least you can get an Irish passport. It doesn't guarantee being happy though. Remember, the world will end.....for everyone.

What exactly does leering constitute? Having looked up various definitions of it I can't help thing it's different from an admiring glance or is someone going to tell me that's wrong too?

Thanks Lowlander.

Only flying though he will travel to Spain for a week while here.

Junior is returning from China for a holiday for a month before returning to Uni there. I can't seem to find any policy that will cover him if his trip isn't starting in the UK. He flies from HK if that makes a difference. Anyone got a solution please?

I presume you've heard about this......... http://www.mishcon.com/news/firm_news/article_50_process_on_brexit_faces_legal_challenge_to_ensure_parliamentary_involvement_07_2016 ETA There is an email address in case you wish to show your support. I've sent them the link to the petition and asked them to sign it ☺

Ah now, I wasn't trying to justify the OP and his slant on things. Frankly these particular Milfs as they referred to themselves, were anything but. However I have an inkling that the term may not be PC so god help me for making a blunder. I would add that if anyone referred to me as a Filf, I'd be very pleased.

Never quite understood this class thing in the UK. Aren't the working class the one's who would rather live on benefits than work?

How many places around ED will have to be renamed?
-
I work with a woman who on her FB page posted photos or a friend did of a girls night out. She referred to themselves as milfs. If women do this why do women find it upsetting if men use the same terminology?

Well done Wales. That's a team.

Well animals have children too but we call them pets or dinner.

Glad you agree RD. BFS is the man though if pushed I'd prefer 'Arry.

The FA hold talks with among others Stuart Lancaster (ex England rugby coach). How's that going to help? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3668822/The-FA-hold-talks-Stuart-Lancaster-Sir-Dave-Brailsford-search-England-s-saviour.html

I'd actually like Sam to get the job. It would renew my interest in the English team. I just think it would be different. May end up in failure but may not. Should I start a petition? Any backers?
