With Data - it used to be a sledgehammer to the hard drive :). There are programs that write 00000 across the whole hard drive if you are serious about protecting the data without the sledgehammer.

Ireland looks more and more like it's had enough of Brexiteers threatening it's economy and is getting more forceful. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/ultrasoft-brexit-called-for-to-honour-dublin-north-agreements-1.3172831 If we start splitting NI off from the UK we're heading towards a United Ireland at some point in the future IMHO ?.

The last post on the "cat" thread is "and you sound SO SO mice!"

I wonder if a look and a cough would drop a hint - once that would have been British code for "get out if my street".

May favourite Rugby site has a sin bin section for the naughty boys - but I suppose people would keep rummaging in it round here.

Maybe the CIA or another spook agency could use someones bin as a dead drop - on non collection days.

Maybe sensible - but I don't really mind making sure average pensioners are doing OK - as hopefully we'll all be pensioners eventually.. But I don't understand there adherence to us as being an empire - older people when I was 12 used to think that but these people are only 20 years older than me.

You could say the same about show jumping or horse racing. or are they different ?

There was a poll 6 months ago > that had numbers more or less the same. Not now - Brexit hasn't worked it's way through yet. Another poll once we see the true result in 2019 or 2020. ironically for the people to see what Brexit is like it has to be delivered.

In a last goodbye some prankster emailed him pretending to be Priebus http://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/prankster-from-uk-dupes-top-level-white-house-figures-in-series-of-extraordinary-fake-emails-a3600941.html

General Kelly ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kelly

Buy him a bandage or germoline. So many nurses around East Dulwich I'd have thought his plans would unravel.

Trump tweets "It's been a really good day at the White House" I really wish he was being ironic

Spreadsheet Phil being charged with planning a takeover whilst Theresa May is on holiday. Someones spreading rumours Boris is going to resign.

That's the old tile shop - better a pizza place than boarded up - although we do have a lot of pizza places. There's still plans to built a block of flats behind the bus stop there too and the flats on the old car park on the corner is now built.

This 'White House' show isn't bad - The new character is called Mooch http://www.newyorker.com/news/ryan-lizza/anthony-scaramucci-called-me-to-unload-about-white-house-leakers-reince-priebus-and-steve-bannon I like the parting shot ?Yeah, let me go, though, because I?ve gotta start tweeting some shit to make this guy crazy.?

Yes - lots of people seem to forget we have to ask the EU for a transition period (negotiate it). Anyway Liam Fox is in Mexico today and Boris is quoting Men at Work in Australia - they certainly want to appear busy..

Hammond has now said nothing will change until 2020/2021/2022 The footballs just being kicked further and further up the path and we don't know where the path goes. 'This is a transitional period that will take us from membership of the EU to a new future relationship with the EU that has yet to be negotiated.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4738764/Hammond-admits-YEARS-new-border-controls.html

So we've gone from hardest of hard Brexit talk and headlines like "Soft Brexit is just a euphemism for Remaining" to an almost certain soft Brexit and a 3 year transition period within a month of negotiations with the EU-27 starting. At this rate we'll remain, give up any rebate we used to have and fly the EU flag at Westminster by 2019.

Shame so many remainers seem to enjoy > putting Britain down. It's not putting Britain down - it's a political play with the ultimate aim of Remain. I've seen these 'games' since the early 80s and Thatchers time not a lot has changed except it's more visible due to social media - once all the dirty stuff wasn't seen by most people.
