Nothing to stop the UK and the Euro zone having strong partnerships. Well, that's my blind optimistic note.

Got to look for the light to escape.

See how the markets play out after the knee jerk reactions. Two city friends of mine were told to work from home as the SMT's work out what to do without being crazy reactionary. Jobs are safe, though another mate who manufactures parts for anything and everything (Airbus to watch faces for private customers) got informed he was going to lose 2 major contracts to Germany/France, suspect he will be having a beer later.

Can but ride it out now and hope people do this effectively and well, should they go with this vote (advisory remember). I hope Cameron would burn political credits and stay in and say fuck it I'll let the next government make a choice, but he has (smartly?) distanced himself immediately.

Onwards and upwards

On a lighter note finally changed my driving licence address, sorted car insurance with a decent deal and rebate and just made some GCN energy bars

Trouble is I'm not keen on the alternatives either. Osborne? Gove? Hunt? I know we vote for the party and not the PM, but as a result of voting out of what is seen as an undemocratic EU we are going to get a PM we didn't ask for.
Glad I ordered Euros and picked them up yesterday. I hedged my bets and got £1k last night and will get the rest before we go.

Afternoon all. We are all doomed. What a mess we're in. And for what. DCs gamble was completely unnecessary.
Work done, didn't get much done. Now idling at home, nearly beer time.

In the continuing spirit of looking for the positives, I predict we'll see a lot more of the lovely Nicola Sturgeon in future.

i did briefly fantasise that we have an early election and one party has the guts to run on a 'remain' manifesto, the 'remain' voters go for it, they win etc.

I can't believe you let the idiots decide which idiots they want in charge and as Joseph-Marie, comte de Maistre said slightly more eloquently "Every nation gets the government it deserves" you are now on your own so you now will at least know precisely who to blaim!

Well...ish

by going before activating this Article 50 thingum he has given the UK a few months extra grace to allow things to settle. The EU may begin to thinik Junker is wrong aboout no more renegotiations, the new PM may decide that the decision to activate Articel 50 MUST require a vote in Parliament and The Lords etc..

Bloody autocorrect, funnily enough the first time it changed it Blair, I didn't realise the extent of political knowledge these iPads have!

I couldn't agree more. It's our own bloody fault, I wouldn't trust the vast majority of the Great British public to tie their shoelaces, let alone decide the fate of the country. I know I'm not qualified to have made that decision, but I certainly think I might make a better and less reactionary decision than some unemployed idiot from the midlands trying to 'take their country back'. It's similar to people moaning about the media, who do you really think is to blame for buying this rubbish? I say we should have them all put down, it's for their own good...

...yeah put them out of our misery

Chequed my own speling this Tim Stevo 999

Went for a ride and a coffee - bright sunshine for a couple of hours and then black clouds and cold water falling out of nowhere.

Pretty allegorical.

Now Farage's lot have decided we are going to send back all the guys and gals who do things like make people better in hospital and decent plumbing in return for all the Brits who don't can I have a go in T47b's lovely little car?

I was waiting on the pound boost from a Remain win before I got my holiday cash. :roll:
Woke at 05:00. Saw the news and bought quite a few at €1.30 to the Pound. Phew! I think. :?

Course you can, pop round next time you're over

Although 40c sitting in a glass bubble is not great, (could leave the door open) maybe bring some of those black clouds with you

Oh how British :roll:

"The story of the humble chip goes back to the 17th Century to either Belgium or France, depending who you believe.
Oddly enough, the chip may have been invented as a substitute for fish, rather than an accompaniment. When the rivers froze over and nothing could be caught, resourceful housewives began cutting potatoes into fishy shapes and frying them as an alternative.
Around the same time, fried fish was introduced into Britain by Jewish refugees from Portugal and Spain."


There is nothing British really. We are all a mix of everything. We are mongrels and the mongrels were allowed to vote.

I don't think alcohol will change my mood for the better. I feel like that washed out feeling following a general anaesthetic.

Fear of what the europeans might do to us was the only possible hope for the remain campaign. We will find you can be a friend without being a gimp.

Yeah right. Met any Chinese have you? Indians? Malays? In fact any of those foreign chappies like wot we used to send gunboats against back in the good old days of Empire? What goes around comes around and is our turn to bend over in the gimp suit. Thanks xxxxwits.
