Quite correct re the, "that's how you got Brexit" comment.

 

"The great unwashed" were suspicious that they were being ignored and talked down to. And everything that has occurred since the referendum has confirmed that those suspicions were spot on. Now those same "unwashed" people KNOW that they are being ignored and talked down to, not just suspect it, thanks to the sort of rhetoric we see from the EU, from certain MPs, from the media, from Blair, Geldoff, Major et al, and from remainers in general.

 

Farage and other Brexiteers really need not campaign too hard. The remain camp is doing it for them.

Hmm. Good point. Similarly, for polls to be credible, they require careful engineering, without the overuse of spanners. 

And theirs me thinking in the case of the comet it was metal fatigue.What are the statistics that the cause of the bridge to collapse were, 1/ designed by Italians 2/ built by Italians 3/ constructed with mafia supplied concrete.

What are the bookies saying about brexit? Somebody should post the odds every day of a hard v soft v no brexit they know their maths.

Why not concentrate on my view and your reply as to how valuable the Euro has been to all EU members and the message we should take from the escalating voting appetite for extreme right wing parties and what the EU should do about it (sod all I would have said so far but its only been 2 years).....your views would be much more interesting than mine ( your "Project Fact" propaganda) since I am sure it will represent reality not scaremongering like mine. 

I hope you don't have to suffer for what you didn't vote for.

That's the point, they've succeeded in doing away with the metallic taste of years gone by. Cans tend to be more consistent than bottles nowadays, craft beer shops have many of both - Raging bitch comes in cans too.

Given the choice though I'll pour it into a glass. 

It's just that I never ever drink from cans I just don't, I also don't like drinking from the bottle ,water is the only thing I drink from a bottle,I want my beer chilled and in a glass.I bring my own glass to my favourite 7-11.I usually just drink tiger beer in Thailand and that's only because I am obliged to purchase something when I go in a bar and I don't spend much time in them these days.

"I have also adopted the habit of "koshering"  meat before cooking. The blanket of salt draws moisture out of the meat, and thus any surface bacteria."

 

Thank you for this comment.

 

I mentioned in an earlier post that when I ask my cleaner to wash the 'fresh' meat I've purchased (I was/am concerned about the meat being sprayed with chemicals to keep it 'fresh' - quite apart from the obvious handling issues) - she also scrubs it with salt.

 

I thought it a bit odd and had no idea why, but this is probably the explanation!

To be honest with you it may be better to get the meat home and cook it that day,if you must wash it do it and cook it there and then, all that handling the meat washing and splashing water around is just spreading any bacteria around your kitchen it will be all over the show and then you have to clean everywhere and your hands will a health hazard.If you have to scrub meat with salt I wonder if you should even be eating it.

Some of you might be amazed at how many food handlers take a dump and then don't wash their hands afterwards. On the falang side, how many of them don't either and then use gymnasium equipment having a good old smear without a care.

That's why the advice is that you wash your hands a lot, and properly with soap and water and recite the lord's prayer not for divine intervention but the time it takes to say the prayer is the time you should be actually washing,rinse and repeat.keep your dirty hands away from your mouth and eyes.It goes without saying that sex is taboo.

The only problem with the link is I would be washing them in water that also may be a contamination,I do wash them first to get rid of the surface chemical stuff they may be sprayed with then I drop them into a pot of boiling water a few at a time so the water stays on a rolling boil for 30 seconds, works for me,I don't trust the packaged veg.

  In fact, fruits and vegetables have caused a number food poisoning outbreaks, particularly lettuce, spinach, cabbage, celery and tomatoes. Vegetables and leafy greens can become contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria.

In Thailand I blanch all my vegetables in boiling water to kill any of the E coli from cross contamination all of them including leafy greens and tomatoes nothing gets eaten raw,fruit gets peeled,and if I buy some roast chicken and I am not convinced it's well cooked it gets binned,never eat left over rice.wash your hands a lot.life is as easy or as tough has you make it.

What appalling reading skills.........Emily O'Reilly does not work for the Telegraph.

 

Few Britons, who voted so numerously to leave the bloc, will be surprised by a scathing report yesterday from EU Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. In it, she condemns the instant double promotion in February of Mr Selmayr from Jean-Claude Juncker’s chief of staff to first deputy secretary-general of the European Commission, then – when the existing chief civil servant, Alexander Italianer within minutes conveniently announced he was retiring – to the top post itself, as breaking both “the spirit and the letter of the law”................

I have been reading the telegraph on line since it went on line, every day on the front page of the internet and print editions without fail there is at least one article against the EU and or the Euro.Its what they do fact or fiction it all just gets blurred into Brexit cheerleading.The most important thing about the Article is it's filed under opinion.

The Martin Selmayr affair displays the breathtaking arrogance of Brussels

The Martin Selmayr affair, which reveals much about attitudes to power and accountability at the top of  the EU, is both depressing and depressingly familiar.

Few Britons, who voted so numerously to leave the bloc, will be surprised by a scathing report yesterday from EU Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. In it, she condemns the instant double promotion in February of Mr Selmayr from Jean-Claude Juncker’s chief of staff to first deputy secretary-general of the European Commission, then – when the existing chief civil servant, Alexander Italianer within minutes conveniently announced he was retiring – to the top post itself, as breaking both “the spirit and the letter of the law”................

But fewer people still will  be surprised to learn that the damning conclusions of her investigation will nevertheless have no impact on Mr Selmayr’s role. The fix was in, Ms O’Reilly’s report in essence concludes, and there’s nothing we can do about it. ............

Since its inception the EU has struggled to maintain any convincing impression that it is a democratic institution. Yet this is an era when even long-established parliaments – such as our own – are being held to account as never before. You would think that would give Brussels pause. You would think Ms O’Reilly’s report would leave them red-faced and apologetic. Not a bit of it. Once again, Britons will be thanking their lucky stars today that they voted to leave.

So you are going to give limited mobility a miss!!

What a crazy comment, maybe you will like me have no choice regarding that.

If you are going to give limited mobility a miss, stay inside your home, never ever dare to go on the roads here, as doing so you could very easily lose your mobility, due to no fault of yours, but others.

That's factored in to living anywhere it's not the point he's making ,but who's gonna wipe your arse and spoon feed you gruel and make sure you take your pills that keep you alive when age takes its toll,my sister takes care of my 95yo mum and the rest of us help her as much as we can,ain't going to be anybody to do that for me.you got anybody?

Don't worry it won't be a great Britain anymore just a diminished England and maybe Wales,The Scots will be gone and the Irish will join up and live happily ever after.

Says who? Grouse, I think, so it must be right!

 

Cameron was elected to look after the interests of the voters of Witney. As Prime Minister, he was appointed to act in the best interests of the UK. The referendum was badly conceived and badly arranged, all because he never believed the vote would go the way it did, although he was hardly alone in that. At least he had the grace to fall on his sword when he realised what a ghastly mistake he had made, perhaps if a few others had realised it too we wouldn't now be up the creek without a paddle.

 

 

 

 

If the latest polls are to be believed you will be up the creek without a paddle and Scotland and Northern Ireland.Also a lot of expats may be heading your way if the pound keeps being put under pressure.

Nigel Farage wants second referendum if Remain campaign scrapes narrow win

Nigel Farage warns today he would fight for a second referendum on Britain in Europe if the remain campaign won by a narrow margin next month.

The Ukip leader said a small defeat for his leave camp would be “unfinished business” and predicted pressure would grow for a re-run of the 23 June ballot.

Farage told the Mirror: “In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it.”

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-wants-second-referendum-7985017

 

Before the referendum he said "if the result is 60-40 to stay that would be unfinished business".
