I'm voting to:

(a) scrap Trident, so that we can

(b) fit a load of otherwise surplus submarine engines to Great Britain, so that we can

© take the entire island on a cruise to somewhere more interesting. Possibly the Carribean. (Ireland probably needs to move out of the way.)

You didn't put that option in the poll, so I've clicked on 'in' for the time being.



That reminds me of one of my favourite Satirewire articles: http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/australia.shtml

In. I'm not sure I understand all of the implications enough (financial/social/political) as any "facts" have been spun so hard by both sides that it's impossible to known the truth. I've taken a philosophical view, namely, should we be trying to remain closer to other countries or distancing ourselves from them.....

I'm worrying that if we vote OUT, that the very next day the Queen will keel over


Then we'll have Boris orchestrating a state funeral, and Charles off his potty & onto the throne with Queenish Camilla sitting by his side


And we'll wonder how the fuck we all ended up there


Let's all hold hands and sing 'we are the world, we are the people'


And what will we call croissant and baguettes ?


Oh and please, let's go back to pre-decimal and the Police in Reliant Robins

Have been 'in' (by a fag paper) for a while but am now, if i force myself to admit it, a genuine 'undecided' and could go either way.


Yes, I know... there are so many unpleasant gobshites in the 'out' group and, well, we all want to play with the popular kids don't we?


I dunno. Always was suspicious of those popular f*ckers.

I remember a time when men worked all week and would bring home their wages and give them to their wives..


She would give him back some 'Pocket Money' for Beer and Baccy. and manage the home finances with the rest..


This may well of founded the idea of the E.E.C. and the E.U.


The E.U suggests we are not capable of managing our own finances..


Stuff the E.U. I'm OUT

Latest:


Remain a member of the European Union 96 81%


Leave the European Union 19 16%


Unsure 4 3%


Other 0 0%


Don't get me wrong, it's very interesting and a good idea, but asking the EDF users how they would vote on this issue is a bit like doing a straw poll of Guardian subscribers in Hampstead! It's certainly way out of kilter with the rest of the UK.

Can't vote but spouse is voting IN as is his entire family (siblings and parents).


Doesn't want a recession, and thinks economically UK is better off in Europe. What we pay for the trade access is well worth it.


Also, he doesn't mind immigrants (having married one). We have Polish friends. Virtually all EU migrants are in work so they pay their way in the country etc. Also, he doesn't value the idea of total sovereignty that much.

I'm starting to think Foxy is actually some element of a Turing Test.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
