Please try not to be so insulting for no reason towards another poster.

 

May's deal was 'leave in name only', and the boris 'deal' isn't much better.

 

The EU certainly didn't participate in "genuine negotiations", they dictated the terms of any talks, and May (a remainer) allowed them to get away with this.

...and you expected the EU would team up with you to make Brexit the shining unicorn that the liars told you you would get? Keep living in lala land.

You rely on insults/EU wants or needs nothing from the UK - without any substantiation.

If being confronted with reality is an insult for you, then that pretty much describes what your issue is.

Do you genuinely believe that the EU doesn't want/need UK money?

I believe Brexiteers want something, and somehow expect us (and everyone else) to give it to them. Brexit is your problem alone; it’s not our issue that you sold people unicorns and now can’t deliver.

If this was the case, why on earth did they agree to the extensions?

Agreeing to an extension is better for us than not agreeing.

""If we held talks at the weekend it would look like these were proper negotiations," the Times newspaper had earlier cited an EU diplomat as saying."

 

Exactly, the EU has no intention of genuinely negotiating.

I wouldn’t negotiate with a janitor who feels entitled for a 1,000% pay raise because his wife and kids told him so. Other’s domestic problems are their’s to solve.

I don't really know what else he can do if the EU are not even appearing to want to thrash out deals in an already short timeframe.

Start accepting reality and dealing with the options on hand rather than keep living in lala Land and chasing unicorns. Everyone told them so; it was clear since the beginning that the EU would hold all cards and protect their interests before helping brexiteers with their problems. May at least was able to produce a deal that was agreeable with the EU and parts of parliament, but she also alienated too many in the process. Buffoon Boris with his little Rumpelstilzchen Cummings in his butt achieved nothing but alienating everyone, and now he’s wondering why there won’t be a deal? 

It is simple: If the UK wants transition service from the EU, it can have it at the EU‘s terms. Otherwise it will have to find a majority for a no-deal Brexit.

It is very obvious that key players in the UK and EU establishment want to derail the whole thing.

Maybe go to your boss and ask for a 1,000% pay raise at half the time and then tell your wife it is obvious that the company establishment wants to derail the whole thing. Don’t forget to tell your boss he’s undemocratic because your wife and the kids voted for a better life.

As much as i dislike Boris, his skullduggery is no worse than the EU's blatant unwillingness to even negotiate reasonably.

That happens when you choose to believe in unicorns rather than accepting who’s holding the cards.

The job description didn't include being taken to court for doing the job he was supposed to do

The nice thing about living in a democracy is that no one is above the law and everyone can be taken to court, regardless of how important his job description or title is. 

Who cares? Brexit is Boris’ problem. If he wants transition service from the EU, he can have it at the EU’s terms. Otherwise he can find another way to manage it.

The EU know the country doesn't want it and they know the UK government doesn't want it.

The country doesn’t want to leave otherwise it wouldn’t request an extension.

So it’s not that the EU is not letting you leave. It’s the EU letting you stay because you want to stay. 

Insecure little bully boy.

I said "Let" us leave. By refusing the extension request.

No one is not letting you leave. You’re requesting the extensions.

52/48 was a majority to leave.

You need a majority in parliament. You know that.

A non-binding advisory referendum. I could ask three people in a pub and get an equally effective majority. You know very well you don’t have a majority for leaving, otherwise you would have left already. You only have a paper tiger.

Sounds like this is going to work out great for the EU. Makes you wonder why they don't let us leave at the end of October and start reaping the benefits immediately ????.

No one doesn’t let you leave. It’s the UK who doesn’t want to leave because there’s no majority for it. 

“Boss, on Wednesday you will receive my final proposal for this employment. After my wife and the kids for three years are telling me I deserve double the pay for half the time, freed from the shackles of all your workplace rules and telling me what to do, it is time that you accept the Democratic will of our family. If you don’t accept my final proposal, I will be out and gone, no matter the mortgage and that I won’t be able to find a new job anytime soon. I am holding all the cards because you will lose an employee and my wife will blame you when we have to apply for food stamps. Ha! And don’t expect me to serve the three months notice period be agreed to in my employment contract. Out means out!”

Can’t he just use one of those loopholes or just ignore the Benn act? That would at least give us Europeans more to laugh; either he will make a fool of himself again or (should there really be a working loophole) he will divide and ruin Brexit-Britain even more. That’s the sweet thing about Brexit — Brexiteers always lose, whatever way they take. And it was clear from the beginning because unicorns just don’t exist, even when you vote for it. 

Some things are the same in Thailand and in the West:

One of these things is that people are different. No one will be able to give you a guarantee that every Thai girl is x, y, and z. You will meet many westerners who try to do so, but that is because they were lucky or unlucky enough to only experience a certain kind of Thai girl for whatever reason. 

Another of these things is that you cannot and should not assume when it comes to dating and relationship. You’ve been dating for a while, but different people mean different things when they’re dating. Some might be looking for a no strings attached thing; some even have multiple of these. For some others, dating might mean a lot and they’re actually looking for a serious relationship. I have met different types and even I have looked for different things depending on my personal situation and the girl.

Why do you assume or expect you’re in a committed exclusive relationship? And that she’s not supposed to use dating sites anymore? Did you ever talk about this? Her expectations might be different than yours. 

The only way to find out is to gauge whether she might be interested in a committed relationship and then carefully having “the talk” about what that actually means for both of you. You should be able to see how she treats you and whether you’re more a gik for her or potentially more. Likewise, you should also be able to see whether she’s actually girlfriend material for you or just a good fxxx turning your head upside down. 

Dating sites are not exactly known to be for relationship seekers. I’m not saying it’s not possible but you know what Tinder & Co. are being used for primarily. Again, that doesn’t mean it’s the case here. Just factor it into your thoughts.
