Silly billy. If I remember soylent Green was based in a dystopian New York. If Remainers think they?ll grow two heads and have teeth like Bugs Bunny if they eat chlorinated chicken I cannot see the dictators of the EU allowing Soylent Green, no matter how cannibalistic your tendencies cat.
  2. As I?ve previously stated on another thread I suspect we?ll avert a no deal with a last minute fudge - it?s what?s the EU does well. The Sunday Times reported this morning that five EU nations are in secret talks with Boris?s team. Simon Coveney, the deputy prime minister of Ireland, is in town and was on the Andrew Marr show this morning. Despite the usual bluff and bluster of EU unity, no change to the Withdrawal Agreement etc, he and Varadkar know a no-deal means the EU Will make Ireland set up a hard border to protect their money - it?s got bugger all to do with peace. That would mean bye bye Fine Gael, at best emergency EU funding for Ireland, at worst a second EU bailout in time. No sensible person would wish for such an outcome, especially the new President-elect of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen who will take up her position under a cloud of questionable appointment and suitability for the job.
  3. The bin men emptied the brown bins today. Mine had garden waste and the bin men emptied my food waste caddy as well as two of my neighbours? caddies into my bin and then emptied it all into the cart. 1. Waste of time me separating food waste into the caddy 2. I?ve paid ?25 for a sticker and the bin men are putting food waste of others who haven?t paid into my bin 3. Who will own any maggots that appear in my brown bin in hot weather if several people?s food waste has been put in my bin by the bin men?
  4. Sainsbury?s DKH and Morrison?s in Peckham have booths. Be careful on the option you choose if space underneath the bottom of your chin and above top of your head is quite specific for certain countries.
  5. It?s deliberate to drive people to online and mobile banking (doesn?t help local traders depositing cash). I?m waiting for all the banks to start charging a small percentage on each contactless transaction - that?ll make them squillions as you spend your own money (maybe a year or two away yet when everyone?s hooked). I received a new bank card last year (not Barclays) and the accompanying brochure that detailed the bank?s fees had the entry under contactless transactions ?fees not currently charged?. Ominous
  6. I miss Concorde flying over my garden twice a day
  7. The US secret service tracking down all the Remainers who?ve bad-mouthed him on this forum?
  8. ?...All the dog owners I know in the area always pick up, so I can't imagine who is doing this...? The old teddy boy who lives on Goodrich Rd has let his incontinent dogs poo over East Dulwich for the last 15 years to my knowledge. When I have confronted him on a number of occasions he?s told me to ?f-off and die? Badly brought up, incorrigible miscreant, must be well-known to the police who, quite frankly, have better things to do
  9. Oh dear, both sides will be claiming victory later today.
  10. The bookies agree with you re PM Sephiroth, Boris 13/8 Hunt 4th on 12/1 and Mordant 8th on 33/1. Toyah (Esther) 14th place 80/1
  11. Don?t know is the short answer. I realise more people will stand and we don?t yet know all the candidates. I don?t think either Boris or Gove will become PM. Boris - clever yes, but an international statesman? No in my opinion. Gove? Yes, clever again, but a bit slippery. Jeremy Hunt might be an outsider. Penny Mordant a dark horse?
  12. I wonder if our new Prime Minister will have to sit in the cleaner?s cupboard nibbling on a curly Eurostar sarnie while the EU elite have their snouts in the trough and fight over seconds?
  13. Good point Seabag. At least the EU has the bare-faced cheek to make up more ludicrous figures, eg ?39 Billion divorce payment. That?s three tens and a nine thrown in for some more dinners.
  14. Ever noticed how frightened children cling to mother?s skirt? Just saying 🙂
  15. They certainly need our money Red Devil. Loads of big fat pensions and expense accounts to be paid for 🙂
  16. Well kford, October 31 is 22 or 23 weeks away. As things stand your theories might soon be tested.

Technically you are correct given the current EU blackmail. However I think you?ll find the EU will be begging for deals with us if we go WTO. In the recent BBC Documentary, Brexit:Behnd closed doors, Guy Verhofstadt?s knees were knocking together with fear at the thought of a no-deal.
  18. Not ideal I grant you but if Parliament cannot get its act together we will crash out in October no matter what the prima donnas think they?ve ruled out. Macron?s in no mood for interminable extensions. WTO though would apply in the two-year extension period while our future relationship is negotiated. Who will be negotiating the future relationship? After today?s elections will Farage be involved?
  19. I do understand the point you are trying to make DL but there really is no point in going over old ground and as a dogmatic remainer you wouldn?t listen anyway as your examples have shown. After three excruciating years and an inflexible EU, Britain is faced with 3 choices A) Leave on Brino terms (worse off than staying in) B) Leave on WTO terms (and the Irish border is now the EU?s problem) C) Revoke Article 50 and risk civil war B is now looking the most likely option given the chaos in Parliament
  20. What is the question you are trying to ask DL? If it is ?Do you want to stay here or leave here?? It is a simple binary choice. How can it not be? If more people want to leave than stay then there is a majority for leave. Simple if you think about it.
  21. DulwichLondoner said: If 48 want to stay put, 26 want to go to Brighton and 26 to Manchester, what does the majority support? To go somewhere else even if there is no agreement on where?? Depends what the question was. If the question was binary, ie do you want to stay put or not stay put, then not stay put won. What mattered on your example was more people chose not to stay put than to stay put. If you can?t see that a referendum that asks you to tick one of two boxes is a binary choice I can?t help you.

If 48 people want water, 26 want beer > and 26 want wine, yes, a majority wants some > booze, but they can't agree what booze, and the > option with the majority is, in fact, water!!! I quite like your line of reasoning. If you?d said 48 people want water ONLY you might have been on the something. Unfortunately, water accounts for up to 95 percent of beer's content and (I?ve just googled) Wine is essentially a hydroalcoholic solution with a water content between 80 and 85%; in this aqueous component, all other substances are dissolved. So, I suppose the moral here is if a majority of voters vote to leave the EU, attempts by Remainers to dilute that vote (geddit) by calling it this or that misses the point. To quote Maybot, leave means leave.

You could have said: ?...Exactly the same could be said for those on the right of the spectrum too, and your theory that violence on the left is more common is incorrect/wrong/misguided/an oversimplification (etc) I'm afraid.? I?m not trying to tell you what to say, simply pointing out as I caress my natural (non-cultured) pearls that in the space of four posts there were two profanities
  24. Seems to be a lot of coarse language on this thread this morning
  25. Bog butter, Bob. that?s what you need. Makes craft butter look like test-tube margarine. Nice and waxy after hundreds or thousands of years it can also help you with your front door problem with waterproofing and wood preservation qualities.
