    is Rutland still beautiful? We used to cycle up and down its hills in the summers of 1970 and 71, looking for girls to chat up and pubs to visit, though we were only 15/16.

    Ummagumma was on all our turntables, what an album.

    1970/71 England and its girls were beautiful, great memories.

    I used to drive a yellow 1961 E type which cost the princely sum

    of GBp 300..Nobody wanted 'em, regarded as old bangers.  Those were the days.   3 years ago my old GF from '70 rooted me out on the internet, a moment of tears and regrets after 45 years.

    Why is it that I do stupid things all my life?

    Ah, the frustration of standing cheek to jowl, four deep at a bar on Saturday night, desperately waving your glass, trying to catch the barman/maid's attention.

    I've gotta say, the bar staff of Bristol pubs were always prompt in their service, God bless them. This one by Janis is not really a Sunday morning number!

    I've got earcringe now,  get the pax out

    I'm looking forward to reading how those 'commitments' were calculated to arrive at a figure of 39bn.....

     

    "There will be a (infinite?) transition period first - everything will stay the same including our level of contributions."

     

    Precisely - leave in name only....

    The figure of 39bn is calculated precisely to put the 'wind up' in anyone else thinking of leaving.

    No. Its the end of the road for Hard Brexit and now just reduced, at least on this forum, to dredging up old cartoons and voodoo incantations to bring forth the spirit of their right-wing loon heroes, dead or otherwise. As far as Parliament is concerned they are a right-wing rump. Ken Clarke has certainly got their number.

    I have to agree that there will be no Brexit as promised.

    People have to realize that when they read newspapers, watch

    tv news, films, adverts, government broadcasts, they are being

    NLPd.  [48 million of 'em]

    Its the end of the road for the Hard Brexiteers. There is no Parliamentary arithmetic that gives them success. Notwithstanding of course the deranged contributions wanting to sell us a dead HB parrot wrapped in the flag.

    Remainers have already been palmed off with 48 million dead EU parrots wrapped in scarry, fake, Orwellian newspapers.

    But the Democratic HB parrot is a tough old bird to stuff.

    You can not accuse May of being fat ( or of being a dancer) maybe she can sing

     

    I honestly think she has done her best for the country. What more could one ask of a leader? I certainly can not name any Tory who could have done better for the country.

    You are right, she's has made the 'best' mess we have ever seen.

    All past 'Stan & Ollie' UK leaders have made 'another fine mess'

    in their time.
