Mrs Roops

Not the only business by all accounts...

PR and ad execs are obsessed with target audiences and specific narratives and sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture.

Quit blubbing. When you're not flouncing, you're otherwise bawling your head off.

You're sailing close to the wind, so be warned.

TBH, I hoped that removing all your likes would induce a toxic shock thereby reducing your life expectancy by 98% but I forgot that your such a disgusting old scrote that even your diseases have diseases which is why your illness wasn't as potent as it should have been in hastening your demise.

Personally, I'm not too concerned about the ironmongery as its use does not affect the leadboard. I will say those who collude to flood individuals are simply debasing the value of the "iron" and confirms a previous assertion of mine that they do not know when to stop. That said, if the flooding continues then we'll will simply start removing punters' ability to receive "likes".

No. There is no evidence to support your original assertion.

About what precisely? Your EU analysis is 45% misinformation, 45% Panzerbollox and 10% luck.

Well, Mr Verhofstadt mockingly told JRM to, "be careful what you wish for". The six month extension gives the Tories the time to oust Mrs May and replace her with a PM more in tune with the majority of the electorate's mandate. Mrs May was aware of this and was one of the reasons why she wanted a short delay. There is also another power play going on in Europe. With Mrs Merkel now a lame duck Chancellor, Macron and France find themselves positioned to be the senior partner in the EU sandpit hence Macron's moves to kick the UK out early rather than later. This rather rubbishes the notion about the EU being a team...

I think I'll go down the Scottish legal route and say this is a case of "not proven". For one thing I could read the posts in the time given that they were on the same nom and page. That said, I expect that in future, @The Guard to be more circumspect on how he conducts himself, in any case by reversing the questioned "likes" does not alter the leaderboard position.

I'm confused, I presume you're referring to the Smart Roadster which ceased production on account of its unacceptably high warranty claims. It also attracts a £125 VED across the range.

I've done that and you weren't happy with what I thought either. You always did get tetchy when I called out the panzerbollox for the pile of pony it really is. The truth is panzy, I know what I'm talking about with or without Google.

Yes, Leo has belatedly realised what side his country's bread is buttered, judging by the way he's bending over backwards. What next? Ditch the Euro and return to the Irish pound parity with Sterling?

I'll look at this later.

I don't think you understand how this works Panzy... What JRM's firm has done is create a collected asset vehicle which, as the name suggests, collects assets and, as Somerset Capital Management says, will be transferred to a UK header fund which whilst still nominally Irish be invested into Europe which means said funds will still enjoy frictionless movement within the EU, even under the harshest hard Brexit terms. Before you choke on your Irish coffee, this is perfectly legal under the terms of the Collective Asset-management Vehicles Act 2015 which aside from exempting such funds to be incorporated under the Irish Companies Acts, it also specifically states that such funds are not subject to spreading or diversification requirements. The 2015 ICAV act is proving to be very popular for tax exempt investors in a master feeder structure. What I'm saying in case you haven't twigged is that Ireland has positioned itself as a money-mule and is desperate for the odd coin to fall its way in becoming the Cayman Islands/Belize of Europe.

I think once you have given 10 likes within a 24 hour period then one has to wait until 24 hours has passed before allocating again. TBH I don't care enough to use the "Test" handle to find out. The 10 like limit is pretty well embedded in the system parameters and I'm not going to waste time and energy working a hack around it. Some of you guys take the like system way too seriously in any case.

...with the dividends and capital appreciation coming straight back to the beneficial owners. Silly ol' leprechaun, the office is brass plate job

Let me remind you... OTOH, if you think its right that a small band of Wallonian farmers should scupper the alleged benefits of CETA for the remaining 512 million European citizens then continue supporting democracy EU style... This also exposes a fundamental flaw with EU trade agreements which has to cater to the needs of 28 different states each with its own unique mix of industries and economies as it took nine years from instigation to ratification in completing the Canada-EU trade deal - far to long in todays rapid change in industry and technology. A fully independent UK would be able to complete trade deals in the fraction of the time and not only would Britain be more flexible it would also serve our precise needs and give us a competitive advantage.

Is that it? "If one isn't happy..none of us is happy" Jeez, all of a sudden I have empathy for the Remain camp's POV Given that Ireland isn't happy as large EU bills are looming do you think the EU bruvs are going to chip in with more dosh?

Well rather rely on emotive "bag o shite" comments why not give a reasoned argument as to why the EU is economically good for the UK and how does membership further the cause of democracy? As for JRM, he is not a member of the government and as a back bencher he is able to say things that are not permissible to a front bencher. That said, I think his comments were borne out of the sheer frustration of a parliament that not only voted for a referendum (including 200 labour MP's) but are now back-tracking because the electorate had the temerity to vote leave. His comments also underscored another issue - that in a few instances a member state can use a veto which is why the much vaunted EU trade agreements not only take years to arrange but such agreements cannot possibly be in the best interests of all the member states. A British trade agreement would not only be ratified in a fraction of time compared to the EU it would also be tailor made to UK interest and not the anodyne interests of 28 states. Witness how Wallonia, a region in Belgium, very nearly scuppered the Canada-EU agreement (CETA). Great for the farmers of Wallonia, possibly not so great for the rest of us.

I prefaced my comment by saying, "At least there are signs that the EU Parliament is starting to sniff the coffee..." which is hardly a declaration of victory, pyric or otherwise. As for being brexit fanatic I would say I'm passionate about the rule of constitutional democracy and the Brexit debate. At least I qualify my POV with reasoned economic argument and articulate a concern over the erosion of national sovereignty. You OTOH, make your case on the basis that Brexit is a "bag o shite". Of course it could be that you are actually a clueless Anglophobe.

You're not making any sense, what you on about?

90 days in every 180 days which is more than ample for the holiday and business traveller ie 98% of people who go to Europe. Incidentally, you're going to have to come up with a better argument against Brexit than its "a bag o shite". I don't think you've ever given a reasoned economic argument for Europe or why the UK shouldn't wish for self-determination and the return of sovereignty.

I see. You're now intimating that the remaniacs position is justified because they are better educated and smarter than those who chose to leave. Numpties or not, a democratic vote was taken and the majority chose to leave. FWIW, If Brexit means staying with the Customs Union and its restrictive practices or even worse, Article 50 is revoked then the recriminations will be seismic. The Irish people may be happy to bend over and take it up the arse with repeated referenda but the British become belligerent when they know when something is wrong and overriding the popular vote is very, very wrong. At least there are signs that the EU Parliament is starting to sniff the coffee. Its the MEP's and not the unelected Commission who have their ears to ground and clearly some of them have had a kicking from concerned constituents for they have recently passed a law that allows visa free travel to EU states even in the event of a hard Brexit.. Didn't the doomsayers warn us that that Brexit meant restrictive travel to favourite holiday hot spots?

In fact the complete opposite happened.
