Have I gone mad or just misread the following? Border checks to enforce air quality rules on solid fuel Fuel crossing from Northern Ireland will be inspected to enforce new air quality rules from next year, Eamon Ryan has said? ??Given the links between burning of solid fuels and the health effects of air pollution, as well as the potential for market distortion for businesses properly adhering to the regulations, increased multi-agency enforcement and inspections of cross-border fuel movements will be required,? Ryan, the environment minister, said. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/border-checks-to-enforce-air-quality-rules-on-solid-fuel-lwx8vfbrb Has the Irish government thought this one through?

Come on Sephiroth cheer up. Things could be worse. Imagine how Le petit sun king Macron feels with a 60% disapproval rating, Marseille and banlieues in French cities imploding, jobs lost due to cancelled submarine offers and the first round of the Presidential election just round the corner.

Thought you?d like that

I?m not anti-immigrant and never have been, as students of my posts will know.

Barnier, now standing in front of the French people, has had a road to Damascus conversion (road to Frexit moment?) Curtail immigration. Take back powers from EU courts. He is astute enough to know that in a post COVID world of sovereign debts and rampant inflation, a post-Mutti EU will be infighting like rats in a sack.

Barnier?s presidential ambitions mean he now has to look the French people in the eye. No more EU smoke and mirrors

Don?t be naughty Wordsworth Cat will know how to crack a tinnie or two. But the thought of europhile Sephiroth with some effete concoction with an umbrella and cherry on top doesn?t bear thinking about.

Whoosh. Didn?t rahrahrah raise inflation above and hasn?t supply chain problems featured prominently recently? The whole world is experiencing such problems to greater or lesser degrees.

Well well, who?d have thought. All?s not well in the Garden of Eden Surge in eurozone inflation tests nerve of central bankers ? Prices are rising rapidly as the bloc emerges from lockdown. Higher energy prices and supply bottlenecks are fuelling inflationary pressure and the index is being flattered by weak comparable figures last year. Prices are likely to climb even more rapidly over the coming months, with economists pencilling in a peak of 3.5 per cent? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/surge-in-eurozone-inflation-tests-nerve-of-central-bankers-g88sjl0ph Must be Brexit?s fault

It?s certainly a mess that Kamala must dread having to inherit

I would advise you put everything through a solicitor who specialises in equity release contracts so you are aware of the devil in the detail in the terms and conditions. As you are probably aware there are different types of equity release. A colleague told me about her parents who had taken equity release. Getting on in life but still in good health they decided to sell their home and downsize using the money to repay the equity release mortgage and have a nest egg for their future. However the equity release company refused permission for them to sell at that time. They now feel trapped as they need permission when the company considers the time is suitable. Now I don?t know the full details and didn?t want to ask but it appears the company had some control over what they did with the property over and above a normal mortgage. So, get good legal advice as to what you are entering into. At the end of the day, financial advisors, however well intentioned to meet your wishes, receive commission for arranging such schemes and are not legal experts. Good luck.

I?d be interested in an update on this KK when the family?s isolation ends. Will/did the rest of the family get infected? I think I read 1.7m people are currently self isolating in the UK and only a fraction are infected. The reason I ask is that Covid will be with us forever in some shape or form with possibly thousands of variants to come in the years ahead. Society cannot function with endless pingdemics and self isolating.

True, it just seemed the trendy thing to do given its wide usage on the forum recently

I still think it?s a silly phrase. Totally subjective depending on one?s point of view or the prevailing trends.

Sephiroth have you thought about therapy? ?Hello, my name?s Sephiroth and I was a remainder on the wrong side of history? (Red Devil) ?Hi Sephiroth?

This might be the wrong place to bring this up but can someone please explain to me what the right/wrong side of history is supposed to mean. The phrase is bandied about a lot these days.

Posted by Sephiroth Today, 06:28PM I don?t think you know who John Bruton even is... Let me guess - he gets, or will get, a big fat EU pension and writes pro-EU articles? Am I warm?

Surely it is self-evident? World trade does not revolve around the EU. They are just a bit player in the grand scheme of things. The world is your oyster

Well I don?t know about the philosophical truth of the matter but on a practical level there?s a bigger world out there than the EU Sephiroth Brexit: Exporting my fish to China is easier than to France A Scottish fisherman says it's "cheaper and quicker" to export his shellfish to Asia than it is to France under post-Brexit rules. Because the UK is out of the single market, British fish exports to Europe are now subject to new customs and veterinary checks. Jamie McMillan says this means three hours of paperwork every morning to get his shellfish to the EU. He told BBC Panorama he had turned to Asian markets to keep his business afloat and save his employees' jobs https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-57696461
