Change the record mate.


The only one on here 'fighting' is you.


I'm discussing an issue. It seems you spend quite a lot of your time discussing me.

? I'm discussing an issue?


Very much to the contrary - you are ignoring the issue and instead picking fights with the eu and remainders when all that has happened is that you got what you voted for


The issues are the Irish border, trade volumes massively down, businesss drilling like flies. All predicted and now they are happening you aren?t talking about them


The solution is simple - align yourself with and possibly join Single market and customs union.

Right in the sweet spot...


The inability to trade freely within your own country (ie between Britain and N.Ireland) is a far more humiliating and stark loss of sovereignty than anything the UK experienced as a member of the EU. Ironically, it is a consequence of Brexit - or of the Brexit deal Johnson chose.

"Given the concerns about supply chains, jobs, prices etc, this continued obsession about getting the vaccine a couple of weeks early is flimsy at best and just downright weird. In no way does it constitute any kind of genuine benefit"


This from December stands up well I think (now that 6 EU countries have overtaken UK with double-jab rates)

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.

Has the Irish government thought this one through?

Not sure if there?s a problem in this?


We?ve increased our own Uk based regs on such things, and rightly so.


All wood must be kiln dried below 20% and DEFRA cert.


Other fuels must pass the DEFRA smokeless fuel test.

This from a year ago, and some of the responses, hold up pretty well I think


As does this from two years ago to the day, the crux being if people don't care about being lied to, they'll continue to do it...

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
