I’ve had sex with many heterosexual guys...
And based on this thread alone a lot of heterosexuals seem keen on perusing this forum...
Like most people, I tend to mostly ignore issues that aren't 'personal' - whilst always knowing that gays had a tough time, and feeling sorry for them insofar as it comes to the 'haters' who give them such a tough time.
Recently I came to know a gay couple as good friends, and so came to realise how diverse they can be. Personality-wise, they are almost complete opposites, whilst sharing the same underlying beliefs and values. We all had to laugh when the quiet, 'conservative' partner said how he shouldn't be allowed to be gay, as he is the complete opposite to the stereotypical 'gay' (something along these lines, but he phrased it far better)!
As a result of loving these guys so much, I'm now far more interested in gay issues.

Its not so much the panellists but the useless ring master.
I thought I posted this? Maybe not. This bird would have been a much better choice.
"This bird would have been a much better choice."
Misogynist much? ????
I base this not only on the above post, but also a previous post in which you said something along the lines of QT needed to get another man as the 'ring master'.
Perhaps you now understand why I don't openly 'advertise' on this forum that I'm a female?

This topic is about a woman who was DEPORTED for having an e-cig in her hand....
We can argue until the cows come home about laws/enforcement here - but surely even you realise there is something seriously wrong with a tourist being deported for this minor crime!

It was a suggestion, it wasnt a promise and therefore it wasnt a lie
The only (?) outright lie was Osborne's promised punishment budget in the event of a leave vote - and possibly, 'your vote in the referendum will be respected' - or something along those lines ????.

i think that the UK has lost its way, the mp's do not care for their constituents one iota, they are there purely for themselves only, the 2 party politics has had its day, people switching parties at a whim, without calling a by election just prove my point above, i voted leave and fully appreciate that as this farce has dragged on, we should cancel brexit, the whole thing has been mishandled and i blame Cameron, he instigated it and then did a runner.
get a fresh outlook on the whole system of the EU being a super state without finances to back it up, get rid of some of the smaller no money and never will countries.
let the UK recover from this mess and try and reorganise the EU from within, but plan for a future outside the EU as it will collapse at some time, the EU leader are just bully boys and like the power they have, all the leaders should be replaced. its a corrupt system and we should never have got that deep in the quicksand.
"and try and reorganise the EU from within"
It's very clear that this will never work, as instead of reforming itself, the eu became even more entrenched after the uk brexit vote....☹️

The have no idea what they are doing, do not understand the situation and could not have done more damage to Britain's international reputation if they'd gone to the EU parliament in clown shoes and makeup and started slapping Merkel's face with wet fish.
They seem determined to deliver a brexit which combines all the disadvantages of EU membership with all the disadvantages of non-membership. Only thing it seems to satisfy is May's hatred of foreigners.
They have been playing to the gallery all along and wiping up patriotic frenzy when they should have been trying to workout how to implement brexit in some sort of decent way. Now the chickens have come home to roost and we've run out of time without a plan.

Remember "we hold all the cards" and "German car maker will make sure we get a good deal"
German Companies Have a Brexit Plan: Send the Bill to the Brits
“Our company didn’t cause Brexit, so why should we suffer for it,” Axel Kiehne, sales manager at Dr. Kaiser Diamantwerkzeuge GmbH & Co. KG -- a maker of machine tools for high-precision grinding -- said at the event. “It might sound harsh, but the costs should be boruyne by the British companies.”
I haven't read the full article, but suspect it refers to brits buying their cars should pay more in the result of increased costs as a result of brexit? It's obviously not going to be either companies or the uk govt. that pays more for their product, unless it's passed on to the consumer.

Back in the UK, I used to get bad-tempered/irritated about anything and everything that annoyed me.
One of the good things about living in Thailand (to me), is that it's taught me to be far more relaxed and easy-going about minor irritations ????. I still occasionally get annoyed, but it only lasts a few seconds and I'm FAR less likely to make a fuss about it.
Nonetheless, threads like this are very enjoyable as they make us laugh about all the petty things (and we know they're petty!) that annoy us.

If the politicians are true to their earlier promises any 2nd referendum would not include a question of whether we leave or not as that's already decided., but only whether May's deal or a WTO deal should be implemented.
One danger I never hear mentioned is that if a second referendum is allowed it will be nigh impossible to refuse the Scottish National Party another referendum which might end up in a break up of the UK.
"If the politicians are true to their earlier promises any 2nd referendum would not include a question of whether we leave or not as that's already decided., but only whether May's deal or a WTO deal should be implemented."
I'd slightly amend that to 'whether May's deal or a genuine leave should be implemented'.
Does anyone disagree that May's deal is BRINO, and paying 39bn for the privilege?

https://www.ft.com/content/d69fe31e-38f0-11e9-b856-5404d3811663
In the end, the rhetoric about “taking back control” has come down to a choice between suicide and vassalage. This march of folly needs to be stopped, for the UK’s sake and Europe’s. The only politically acceptable way to do this is via another referendum. That is risky. But it would be better than sure disaster.
An unsuprising opinion coming from the FT......
Edit - Some posters believe it to be unbiased 'gospel' - but it's not. It's extremely biased towards it's 'audience'.

That's politics Stephen. Always some nice little earners for the consultancy firms and others out of any crisis.
At least the dodgy ferry deal has been scrapped.
They don't care because it's only tax payers money, plenty more where that came from. And got to look after the right firms because they might want to do some work for them in the future.
May, I believe, has become totally obsessed with her deal and sees it as the only way forward; and the only way to keep some credibility when history looks back on her tenure. She doesn't want the alternatives, can't come up with anything better, so clings to what she has despite everyone else telling her it's crap.
She daren't give parliament a free vote on withdrawing Article 50 because she fears the result would tear the Tories apart. And all this shit heap of a mess has occurred because of Tory in-fighting; and screw the rest of the country.
Jelly-Baby Jeremy is now being forced into action by the decent members of his party. Reluctantly but at least responding to them before Labor disintegrates before his very eyes!
Worst ever debacle in British politics.

1 hour ago, nauseus said:Hard, soft? The egg timer really came out of the box after the referendum. Leave voters obviously want out but most of those that I speak to genuinely also wanted a fair, pragmatic agreement and not a hard exit. It is rather obvious that the EU have been dictating the withdrawal negotiations, in all respects and with no real consideration of fairness in mind, since (and probably before) they started. Their own Article 50 does not give them the right to dictate terms so one-sidedly but the UK has allowed this. Why?
These lop-sided and so-called "negotiations" have been allowed by a weak and suspect PM and now it's too late to know if a sensible agreement might have been agreed, if we had had a genuine and neutral leader. Hard to find one these days, I know. I have to doubt if May had that much input into "her deal", which is so bad and which has really resulted in the mess we have now - along with the EU's fear of a demonstration of a successful example of the withdrawal of any member - of course.
Excellent post IMO.
Corbyn calling for a second referendum may pacify some Labour MPs, but it's going to alienate a lot of their voters. Again, IMO.
I agree with remainer posts insofar as leavers expected the eu to actually negotiate a deal that worked for both sides (e.g. FTA), but May fell at the first hurdle (negotiating list), thereby making it very clear to the eu that the uk govt. was looking for a way to remain or leave in name only - so the eu had no reason to genuinely negotiate an acceptable deal.....
We now have both the tory and labour party supporting remain agendas! Result - even more disillusion amongst the electorate when it comes to 'trusting' politicians ☹️.

Though to to be fair, I’m sure he wishes he could put his gob into reverse on that one.
He did say something along those lines.
But I've no doubt he wouldn't have been IMMEDIATELY challenging for another referendum.
IMO he meant that he and ukip would continue to pursue their cause.

Murder conviction quashed for UK woman who killed abusive husband

I see your point, but the sons are both adults?
They know what happened in their family. and as adults are far less likely to desperately want one parent back if they knew that one parent murdered their other (loved?) parent for no good reason.
Far more likely that they saw the abuse, and can understand why their mother killed their father.
