Isn't it Robin mating season :) Edit: I mean - it's singing to attract a mate.

Is it just drinkers that believe your liver can repair itself if it has a rest.

The threat of drinking with teetotalers is they tell you exactly what you did when everybody else has forgotten. conversations tend to go ... "how much did you drink" "about 4 pints" "No it was 8" "It was when you started hugging I got really embarrassed"

Oh Faisal :) Live Stream was a joke

To answer myself - it's a threat isn't it. We'll sack you and you have debts.

There are a number of areas where people wouldn't call the police so it's good that people do as it'll deter other criminals. Is Neighborhood Watch still a thing ?

Hunt having an embarrassing time on Sky News apparently. Running away (he walks fast mind) Edit: (actually sounds like he may have been given a rollocking)

There seem to be two types of people those who will go and those who avoid going (I got told my kidneys were so dehydrated I'd come close to damaging them once after turning up for what turned out to be an emergency (adhesions which caused a total blockage)). But Hunt tends to be rather nasty sometimes (like today) - wonder if he's actually playing bad cop. Anyway after treating the public like children someone explained that what he was trying to say was that if you are not an emergency don't expect to be treated in 4 hours (triage tell I suppose),

Drones will just drop them in the near future

Well Theresa May seemed to say she would help people with mental health this morning This afternoon Jeremy Hunt told everyone to stop going to A&E (he thinks you're all hypochondriacs) If you all stop going there for your minor ailments he'll hit his 4 hour target

When Sky were in Boston and saying there jobs were being undercut by cheap foreign labour - I thought what an advert for a union closed shop.

Why should the EU move beyond the four freedoms in negotiations and then if we want to negotiate a trade deal we start 2 years down the line That's why a transition is needed - but the Brexiteers don't want that as it may become permanent.

Once again today Theresa May talking a good talk. But how will she deliver, tax the rich, remove the triple lock (suggested by a journalist).

Red line on borders and the 'best deal' on single market access that could mean a rubbish deal). I think we'll end up either with a transitional deal or on WTO rules.

Tubes, Southern and BA have issues on Monday So can't take tube, train or plane to work.

Yes But he'll be President in a few days and nothings going to change that. Although not liking him much, I actually like that he tweets - possibly drunk tweets (like me) :)

All buses have cameras dont they - at a guess suspect is known - looking for witnesses

Morgan Stanley have it - we need a Goldilocks Brexit, however ... 'Morgan Stanley makes it pretty clear that it sees the "Goldilocks" Brexit ? named for the fairy tale when the character of the same name tries out porridge and beds in a house of bears to find the conditions that are "just right" ? is pretty unlikely' http://uk.businessinsider.com/morgan-stanley-on-goldilocks-brexit-and-the-british-economy-2017-1

Thanks :) I just found this Telegraph article from a year ago, they were gloating about the UK becoming the worlds 4th largest economy and mention France and Italy would be knocked out of the G8 due to their poor economies. Of course we may still boom after Brexit and I wouldn't be complaining. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/12068319/Booming-Britain-to-become-worlds-fourth-largest-economy-as-France-and-Italy-face-G8-exclusion.html

OK Economy people riddle me this The BOE and Government states we are growing faster than other economies However when calculated in Dollars our GDP (last years in the link) will have shrunk and not only that we will have fallen behind France since June 16. Also if the pound tumbles after May invokes article 50 we could fall behind India putting us 7th in the world (we were 5th). No doubt in France our economic performance is being reported in Dollars. Some people say there is a danger of us even being relegated from the G7 and the pound losing its status as a reserve currency yet everybody saying the economy is great and the BOE apologising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_Kingdom
