It's an acronym strictly ( won't bore you with the details). No rubber massages for us sorry to say, the inspectors are back in for day two, so she was late home, frazzled and zombiefied. My banana loaf was rather good tho and will give sustainance to her and her friends in these trying times lol. Might bake one and send it to the Commons too...not.

Forsooth, that is why I used the acronym lol this time, being a woman possessed of a self deprecating soh I know it's heartening to the soul to give oneself relief and lighten one's own burden of urine. But fall foul to the weaknesses of my passions and swoon over such a man as that God-forsaken cad Mr Rochester? Not I sir.
Not on your bleed in' nelly. -
1. Select two candidates to become the next PM, one with a considerable majority of MP's supporting them, and then fuck about for two months while some blue rinses and old geezers decide which one of them it will be. Don't they realise that dithering shows the UK to be weak and erodes the UKs economy, or are they more obsessed with their own importance?

I could swear there was some sort of EU thing that happened or something? :-S -
Grrrrr.....only Channel 4 news reported last night about May v Leadsom without pointing out the bleeding obvious fact that they are both women, what forward thinking times we are in. I don't give a f£&) if they are women...we just need capable people. My dogs should apply.

Precisely. Don't they realise that while they fiddle, Rome is burning! The French are already trying to lure big financial institutions away from the City to Paris. An absolutely pathetic response as no-one prepared for a leave vote as the complacent toss pots thought it would never happen. Only the a Bank of England did any preparation. Government, bugger all !Post edited by Urban_Tribesman at 2016-07-08 04:24:31The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.

Hah, exactly. Incompetence in politics comes from both men and women.Low said:

I still think that the whole thing's been an entire f*ck-up from start to finish (if it ever will actually finish). All this over a misjudged, deceitful and legally non-binding referendum. I kind of understand the whole "oh you can't disrespect democracy" argument from those against a vote on it in parliament, but to be honest the EU referendum itself is a mockery of democracy. Nothing but total incompetence and lies peddled by a bunch of sociopaths with no real plan. -
If my reading is correct, then the UK's membership of the EU was enacted under an Act of Parliment, the 1972 European Communities Act and no party, or Prime Minister ( or Reverendum), can overturn an Act of Parliment, only another Act of Parliment, which will require a debate and vote in the HofC and then ratified by the HofL. Legal opinion is divided over this, with the alternative being that it can be revoked by 'Royal Perogative', whatever that is, but an AofP would not have real teeth if it can be disregarded so easily and would undermine the sovereignty of Parliment. The next hurdle is whether May or Leadsom are advised that they can just envoked Article 50, and trigger the exit process or whether the are advised that they do not have that legislative power and have to have a debate and vote. The sticking point then is, will MP's vote with their hearts, as there is a large majority, certainly in the HofC, to stay in Europe, or whether they vote with their heads and say they cannot vote against the will of the majority in the country that voted to leave. To do the former could be political suicide at the next election. However, as the RH Appy61 pointed out, across the entire voting populace of 46 million, only 37% voted to leave, against 35% to remain, which is not a majority. A whopping 28% could not be arsed to even vote ! It is these people that your ire should focus on.

Totally agree that it's not over, just seems to be on the back burner for now. The 28% that didn't vote definitely should be focused on, as well as the fact that so many leave voters have regretted their decision in the following days since the result. If you re-took this referendum now then I seriously doubt that leave would have its narrow majority. Less and less people want this to happen as time goes on. -

I am reading a Gothic novel at the moment. It's rather tiresome lol. Pass me the laudanum!
Hahaha! Really? I never would have guessed. They were big into old, ornery dudes and young women in those days. Especially the Bronte sisters. Wuthering Heights comes to mind, besides Jane Eyre. Has anyone read "A man named Ove"? It's a little different from that so far in that it is just an old, ornery dude being retrained to be human. He was curmudgeony.

41. Set alarms for random times.
42. Order a side of pork rinds with your filet mignon.
43. Instead of Gallo, serve Night Train next Thanksgiving.
44. Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a "croaking" noise.
45. Honk and wave to strangers.
46. Dress only in clothes colored Hunters Orange.
47. Change channels five minutes before the end of every show.
48. Tape pieces of "Sweating to the Oldies" over climactic parts of rental movies.
49. Wear your pants backwards.
50. Decline to be seated at a restaurant, and simply eat their complimentary mints by the cash register.
