Women drivers rarely put up a hand or a finger up in acknowledgement of you giving way or letting them in.
That'll be the same sort of non-gender-specific k-nobs who cut the corner on blind right hand bends. Can't see nuffink so nuffink'll be coming the other way.0 -

Nigel Farage being alive. And UKippers. F'tards, the lot of them.
A bit harsh. Some could easily argue that UKIP have at least spoken out for the significant number of the population whose reasonable thoughts on the preservation of a British culture have been erroneously portrayed as racist in the politically correct world of Blairism. Politics need people saying things they think, even if what they say is uncomfortable for others to hear.0 -
Agreed. I personally find Farage a bit of a fool, a bit unpleasant, and a quite canny political operator. I disagree with most of what he stands for, but I also understand how he plays to genuine and valid concerns.Nigel Farage being alive. And UKippers. F'tards, the lot of them.

Reactions like Matthew F's are a far bigger threat to worthwhile politics than the existence of UKIP.0 -
There's a huge difference between the prejudice and xenophobia and preservation of British culture.
I have yet to hear any UIKIPPERS speaking in words of more than 2 syllables. It is purely a romantic notion to think that UKIPPERS primary purpose is to preserve the British Culture.

Unfortunately Kipper spend to think only about immigration and their untenable reasons for clamping down on same said. They fail to realize the benefits and probably why short sightedness such as theirs is a major part of Britain not being very great anymore.
They are useless at any discussions regarding g their party's policies (which if you examine them are actually a 90s Tory throwback) and do not know how a UKip government would do things like fund school lunches, doctor's salaries, roads, etc etc.
Let's follow Twatttty Nige and leave the EU and see how our trading goes then. Oh.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I'm not a Kipper, but how would our trade go if we leave? Given that a referendum is nigh, any light you can shed on this would be invaluable. Which trade would be altered?

The fact that billions of pounds is traded between Britain (because it's not that great) and Europe under favorable EU membership terms - pull out of the EU, refuse to acknowledge the terms of the trade agreement et voila - trade is stuffed.
That's why everyone who isn't a member of the EU (Norway, Switzerland, etc) have all signed up to theEU trade agreement.
There was quite good debate on The Today Programme on this on Wednesday morning between Nigel Lawson and some Labour dude - Labour dude said that above, Nigel Lawson spluttered into his mug of tea.
Good bye EU trade. good bye farming subsidies. Good bye preferential terms for all Brits living abroad I. The EU. good bye (potentially, but very high potential) NATO.
Bit stuffed really aren't ya?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Survival as part of the EU or outside the EU as regards to UKIP is an erroneous argument. Does anyone n their right minds actually think that Nigel and his mate's could A: actually run the country and B: Handle an EU exit?!seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Goodbye NATO??? You'll have to explain that one to me. Some of your other claims seem a bit far-fetched too - "goodbye EU trade"? Hardly - as you (rightly in my view) point out, even non-EU countries are in the various free trade bodies, and I really don't think the UK would leave those.
The fact is that there are some good reasons for staying in the EU. And some good reasons to leave. Various claims and counter-claims are made, none of them seem to be conclusive and most (because we're dealing with something that has never happened before) are pretty speculative. It seems to me that an intelligent person would hesitate to be quite as black and white as you are about this - in either direction.
Now can we please get back to trivia?0 -
I had a Swiss customer on the phone today moaning about how much more it costs to ship to them than it does to any of the EU countries around them. Doing business with the EU is a lot more expensive if you are on the outside.
We do a lot of business in the EU and we are competing with other suppliers in mainland Europe, I have no doubt we will lose a lot of business to suppliers in Europe in the event of us leaving the EU even with trade agreements in place. I would probably keep my job, but only by virtue of the fact that a lot of others would go before me.
One of my customers when in his teens punched a teenage Farage for being an irritating little twunt. I don't think things have changed much in that respect.0 -
There is some UKIPer and Tory Europhobe rosy specs view of "free trade" across the globe. There is no such thing. Want an example? I refer you to the Trans-Pacific Trade agreement, negotiations for which have been ongoing for at least 7 years and the draft agreement runs to tens of thousands of clauses.
With Mr USA bigfooting it around, if there is a vested interest constituent in Chickensh1t Arkansas bending the political ear there is a clause for it.
DYOR. Is fascinating, and scary. God help us if we should cut free from the EU bloc, please no, the 'Mericuns would rip us to shreds. No? Look at what happened to BP, after the US owned and operated platform had a well blow out due to faulty kit supplied by Halliburton a US company.
'Course super Nige and Boy George will see us right eh?
Now how do I move my assets from £ to $ or €?0 -

WTF!?!? Unless this involves designing fluffy things in the sky somebody needs shooting for this....cloud-architect...
The cloud. There's something that irritates the hell out of me. It's not a fookin' cloud it's a remote server that you access via the internet and if you're connection goes down or they have a problem there is bugger all you can do about it.
agreed if your connection goes down you're stuffed, but the difference between it being just a remote server and being in the cloud, is if their end goes down, its supposed to magically & seemlessly pop up somewhere else and maintain service.
I accept the reality isnt always matching the marketing
but remote servers are different, if you lost a remote server in a data centre,youd have to hope TPHB listened to you and signed off the expense of a disaster recovery site to carry on. :roll: 0 -
Although there is a huge array of issues regarding the merits of the EU
Hey, fully agree there is much wrong with the way EU operates now, as well as much that is good and positive.
But I fail to see any logic in throwing the toys out of the pram and stomping off into glorious, not really, isolation as Billy NoMates. Becoming a Norway (without the sovereign wealth fund) and having to still pay into the EU but having no say as opposed to a small say in how it operates is lunacy.
There is no "free trade" out there, there is a world of tariffs, trade barriers, protectionism and vested interests. Leaving the big gang to strike out solo can only end badly; seen what happens to the straggler from the herd? The predators 'av' it early doors.

That means that you put the milk(?), water and porage all in the pot at the same time?! Yeugh.
Bring the milk(?) and water to the boil first, then add the porage. If you don't, the porage goes all thin and runny, lacking in a any texture.

Heresy! I suspect you are making some sort of oat tea.
The runniness or otherwise of the porridge is down to the liquid:solid ratio, the type of oats and the length of cooking time. I add oats to cold water, bring to the boil, simmer until desired consistency is achieved, put in a bowl and then sprinkle over sea salt. This is the only true way.0 -

Absolute bollox. Cold water! Just cold water? If you put the oats in when the water is cold, the oats disintegrate and you end up with gruel. I bet you like Oatcakes too ya bampot.
