  1. TV footage showed him coming out of a raised ground floor entrance with pillars, opposite a large green space/park, didn't look like the Grove but can't think where it might be in that area...
  2. Dulwich Basil Brush is overcome with excitement as he's about to install Windows 10 Version 1952 aka, Brexit for Dummies... ''How to Brexit, Part 1...Stock up on beef dripping, pork scratchings and bread pudding.....oooh, I'm already welling up with the nostalgia!''
  3. Interesting editorial from the Evening Standard... Mr Johnson is the candidate who has the most room for manoeuvre to get the country out of the Brexit mess. That may seem a paradox, as the one who helped get us into that mess, and who again today says he wants ?to get Brexit done by October 31?. But he is careful not to ?guarantee? that date ? Mr Johnson may be loose with words when it comes to the fates of others but never when it comes to his own. Ask yourself which of these potential prime ministers is most likely to persuade the Conservative party to vote for a repacked version of the existing deal? The one with the greatest credibility with hard Brexiteers. Indeed, which of these possible leaders could you imagine making the even bigger leap and asking the country again for its views? The candidate who first came up with the idea of two referendums back in early 2016. Of course, he denies all this ? and, like the other candidates, promises to get a renegotiated withdrawal agreement out of the EU. Perhaps he will. Most likely he will not. But one thing is for sure, having finally arrived in Downing Street, Mr Johnson won?t be in a hurry to leave it. Opportunism knocks.
  4. More honesty on our Brexit plight in a 15-min #R4today interview with Dutch PM Mark Rutte than we will hear in a 6-week Tory leadership contest He?s clearly better qualified for No 10 than any of the candidates! If only our own politicians treated the public like grown-ups and had an honest conversation about the realities of Brexit. Even Rory Stewart trying to play the honesty card had his own unicorn of saying he would get May's deal through parliament. As much as I dislike him, a part of me will be pleased when Johnson becomes PM, as he will finally have to own and deal with the clusterfuck he's created, and hopefully it will see him kicked out on his lying backside in 6 months time...
  5. Definitely not Rocket, leaves are too shiny... http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1380/2059/products/wild_grande.jpg?v=1517222222 If no joy on here, take a cutting and ask a local garden centre or email them, the staff at West Dulwich seem to know their onions...
  6. Tory Brexiter MPs democratically voted against a Brexit deal...fuckwits
  7. Brian from Westlife hasn't aged well...
  8. These lunatics will decide our next PM...
  9. Gossipy but wouldn't put it past him... Boris could get >150 votes today and word is he?s lending at least 15 MPs to Jeremy Hunt who he regards as a safe, low-energy opponent.
  10. Admin, when you get round to banning posters, any chance you can exile them to another section rather than just the Lounge, perhaps a new 'sin bin' section so they can monotonously cackle on to their heart's content in wonderful isolation?...
  11. Sephiroth Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > We have exactly the politicians we deserve Hard to disagree with this, but there are still some good politicians around, especially on the backbenches. But the overall standard of politicians has definitely dropped and I'd add journalists to the list too. While watching the Tory debate yesterday and hearing Gove, Hunt et al claiming that they would do this and that with the Withdrawal Agreement, no one seemed to be aware that as I've mentioned before, a condition of the current extension is that the WA cannot be reopened. I expect politicians to conveniently ignore this, but it would be good if at least one journalist made this point and in doing so instantly shot down their unicorns there and then...
  12. The Economist was the first thing that came into my head as I was reading your post, until I got to the bit... Private Eye is very good if you like political satire. Spec and NS worth a look but I find I only really like certain writers such as Stephen Bush at NS rather than the magazines as a whole. Failing that, Angling Times... PS. This was an interesting read about trying to cultivate balanced online debate... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-48579597
  13. Yep, an autumn election is now more likely than not, a no confidence vote would trigger one, which might be the only tool left for those against no deal/proroguing parliament. Whoever the new PM is will need to pass an initial HoC confidence vote, and even if that passes, another one can happen any time before the end of Oct. Assuming Johnson will win, he's already boxed himself into a corner saying we will definitely leave by 31st Oct. He can only do that in the time frame by going no deal, and at that point there'll be a no confidence vote. I think Johnson knows this and therefore is happy to say now that we'll leave by the 31st, in order to win members' votes, knowing that he can later say parliament stopped him from doing it. Brexiters are clueless when it comes to the complexities of Brexit, but very good at the more simplistic blame game. Dangerous game playing in dangerous times...
  14. Johnson is also the only one to avoid the 100+ political journalists 'Lobby Hustings' questions on Monday, so he's not only dodging the TV camera debates. Can't see that going down well with the hacks...

Why are some contenders spouting this > bollix? More importantly, why aren't interviewers/journalists pressing him to explain. No coincidence that he's not going on Sunday's Channel 4 debate where Rory Stewart will attend, who will openly question Johnson's unicorns. He's gambling that RS won't make it past the next round on Tuesday and therefore won't be in attendance at Thursday's BBC debate...
  16. Johnson has graced us with a Radio4 interview, said that the UK will definitely leave the EU by the Oct deadline, that he doesn't want No Deal/WTO, that there doesn't need to be a hard Irish border, that the Brady 'alternative arrangements' can be discussed after we leave. And so the Mayesque clusterfuckwitteryfudge continues, saying one thing to one wing of the Tory party and another thing to the other...
  17. Don't fret, the last laugh will be on him, for when the inevitable general election happens new Prime Minister Johnson will lose his marginal seat...
  18. If you an find your product click on it and it should come up with a care and maintenance section, the one I looked at said not to use cleaning agents with wax and polish. They are designed to be hard wearing so a simple mild detergent with a damp cloth should be ok... https://www.howdens.com/joinery/floors/flooring/laminate-flooring?p=2
  19. Well done my lovelies, anyone who thinks they can cross VelvetBlueBeret and get away with it has got another thing coming...Mwahahaha! http://www.animobil.info/wit-icons/crows.jpg
  20. What a carrion...
  21. *Rushes out to buy some net curtains...*
  22. Well said Art...
  23. Clueless...
  24. And this is a good follow-up to DAG's thread and a further reality... Of course, all of this was far too complicated and long-winded to put on the side of a bus...
