Well Theresa May's fans calling out a win now after Donald Tusk does concede a little - Some parallel talks - He acknowledges the security misunderstanding (it wasn't it was a huge mistake and TMs been let off) Whats happening is the EU is taking the lead on setting the agenda here. Have they not heard of conceding minor points to win the big ones :)

There's two plurals isn't there When you are listing multiple friends on a website/twitter facebook When you are talking about multiple instances of people doing shout(s) out So I could talk about shouts outs or shouts's out :)

She'll send you a QWERTY keyboard E

Also So far the government have allowed the devaluation of the pound to be a buffer against any issues (which Osborne would have done too), but we really don't know where we're headed at the moment - it's like the phoney war before the blitz hit.

Popped to the Half Moon the other night. It's really been nicely done up (you can see quality) and no doubt great for a meal and pint. But we'll be lucky to get much live music there.

Including Security as a bargaining chip doesn't seem to be going down well on the EU-27 side of the argument. But David Davis says it wasn't a threat, it was an argument for getting a good deal. (The threat seemed to be we'd pull security co-operation)

Did he looked confused - as 'wandering' is a well known symptom. (I had a neighbour who was pre-Alzheimers that would do that and it caused all kinds of trouble as people aren't able to cope with it)

Sounds dodgy (surely no-one does DIY at 3AM)

I know it's not a number of states But maybe they shoot remove one - or have one fallen star

Do banks really refuse them - I'd have though shops would be more careful in that case. I had many Scottish notes refused a few years back. The girl in Sainsburys not long ago said to me "do you want a Scottish note" answer "NO"

Very good.

Everyone used to scoot along with one foot on the pedal when I lived there 10 years ago. That place could be so lonely after midnight :)

I've seen some dodgy coloured pound coins - and some that look 'weathered' But never had one refused.

Hopefully I just don't trust Grayling.

I hear the Queen is laughing on this coin

Hi I'd like to be the first to wish everyone on the forum a Happy Brexit Day. Anyone who'd like to explain what Theresa May sold to the Qataris last night that annoyed twitter so much, feel free. XXXX

http://www.southlondonguide.co.uk/eastdulwich/besteastdulrestaurants.htm "with a branch in Islington" Is there a connection then ?

The last time I had a BT broadband issue (logged online by that self test option) the engineer actually called at my door within 2 hours then fixed the issue 10 minutes later.

Nicola Sturgeon might have taken note. We might yet have a Celtic nation.
