Thousands of pictures of the ballot paper online to refresh your memory if you don't believe me. Furthermore, the European Referendum Bill 2015-2016 briefing notes specifically explain: "The Bill requires a referendum on the UK's continued membership of the European Union (EU) before the end of 2017. It does not contain any requirement for the UK Government to implement the results of the referendum." You may believe the government ought to implement the result of the referendum and you would certainly have an arguable case, but nowhere on the ballot did it say they would and there's nothing in law to say they have to.

This. Though a friend of my Dad's, who's about eighty and has a very impressive long white beard, is fond of answering them "Oh good, I'm Jehovah - how are we getting on?" They don't knock there any more.

Just shows, even songs can be part of the post-fact world!

And, important though it is, Nissan's commitment will only safeguard 7,000 extant jobs, with "possibly hundreds" to be created in the future. Excellent news for those working there but in terms of the general economic picture, pretty meaningless. One of Japan's top business strategists - indeed the man who advised Nissan to set up the Sunderland plant - has called it "a minor decision by one company" and does not believe other companies will follow suit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37835797

Despite what "experts" like Heseltine and Prince Charles say, there's no evidence from real experts that grey squirrels have a deleterious effect on bird populations: http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8448000/8448807.stm and the beloved reds (don't get me wrong, I adore them too) are just as significant predators on eggs and fledglings (though both only really go for eggs when there's a scarcity of other foods). In truth, the best thing one could do for wildlife of all sorts would be to allow large areas (such as Mr.Heseltine's garden)to return to their natural state: what he's really complaining about is that squirrels are (he believes) undermining his efforts to create his version of what he thinks nature should be, but nobody seems to suggest shooting him...

Possibly with "Alright son, whatever you say - I suppose Bob Dylan's gonna be Nobel Laureate an'all?"

My mother was thinking of replacing her standard estate with one, then saw an article in the BMJ which said a pedestrian knocked down by a 4x4 is four times more likely to be killed than a pedestrian knocked down by a normal car, which rather put her off.

At $380, surely a mere stocking filler? http://www.chesshouse.com/Man_Ray_Chess_Pieces_p/ic-mrcs-c.htm

Fair points RD, shall take on board.

Not that much of a kick but I do admit it's interesting to see how far he'll go. If Grok just wants to spout abuse at me he's welcome to do so via PM, but if he insults me in public I reserve the right of reply. I hardly invited his insults here, I made a joke about Bob Buzzard claiming the Gowlett for SE22 and Grok weighs in calling me a blow in, whatever that may mean to him.

Grok Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Oh, how ironic, Mr Harris Academy. As a blow in > you dont even know about Blythe but try to be > clever here. (Dont bother googling Johnson quotes > as we allcan). Don't you think your obsession with following me around the forum is getting just a wee bit sad now, sweetie? Not quite sure what a "blow in" is in your strange world, I've been living within a mile and a half of East Dulwich station since 1997...but to the north/west, mainly, so that's why I didn't know about a pub in Forest Hill, were I trying to pretend to be a "real local" like yourself I don't think I would have confessed not to know it. Think before posting. I would ask you to cease your campaign of pointless rude insults against me (and many others who find you equally tiresome) but actually I find them extremely amusing, keep 'em coming. The Doctor Johnson quote I mentioned on another thread (sorry everyone else, Grok's got a bit of an obsession with my posts, as you can see) is one of the most famous in all of English letters, the fact that you think someone would have to use Google to come up with it speaks volumes about your knowledge.

The Icelandic ones come to the UK for the winter and have been seen around the Thames marshes - Rainham, Erith etc. So not too far out of the way for one blown off course or disoriented. Plane strike, possibly?

As opposed to your vital thread on whether or not you should wear a tie, Seabag? What's sauce for the goose...bit of live and let live, maybe?

SE15 mate - Peckham Rye, it's ours! Bleedin' East Dulwichers coming over here from SE22 with they'm fancy ways and portable telephones, claiming our pubs...

Cor that looks good (The Blythe) - never even heard of it yet alone been there, shall rectify soon! Is there any way of accessing the garden to lock a bike up rather than leaving it on the street?

It's a 12-15 minute walk from Oxford Circus so maybe not ideal for you, but this looks interesting: https://cyclevault.inmidtown.org/index2.php

You're reminding me of Alan Bennet: "Then there's Ian, who was had up for exposing himself in Sainsbury's. I mean! As mother said, Tesco's, you could understand it..."

May I then further state the obvious that it wasn't edcam who posted a picture to make fun of you? 3. It's not ok to pester someone who has a different opinion from thread to thread on a forum of twitter. (that's weird) You, my dear fellow, have not only been ranting at people for quite a while to tell them not to comment on your posts, you have apparently been sending people personal messages telling them not to do so! In what way is that not pestering people with a different opinion? By the way I have far too much time on my hands, sadly, and so look on here a lot - they're not "following you from thread to thread" - they're just some regular posters, generally pretty reasonable people, who disagree with your opinions on a couple of threads. Calm down.
