    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're taking such a gloomy view Flecc! Cheer up! He could be just the tonic this country needs! (James ducking for cover and leaving stage left). Look - he's a natural optimist - which is why he sometimes makes such an ass of himself. Optimists are a PR man's nightmare. But yes. I...

    That'll be me then. I've been paying my £2 a month to make sure I get a vote on this. Go Boris!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The way I dealt with finding issues when I was a school teacher was to start up a tuck shop - and the profits went to the Biology department (my department). The CPVE students ran the shop and learned about capitalism and how to make a profit (kids not being allowed out of school to buy sweets...

    Boris will get in and call a 'snap' election and win massively. Now that would be interesting.

    Talking of Aston Martin - they're going to make a limited edition of these - DB4 GT Zagato. 6 million squid each if you have it:

    Trouble is - even a mildly competent investigator - probably within a horrifyingly short amount of time - would be able to dig up enough dirt on me from my history to bury my campaign before it had even begun to get off the ground. Shame - because like I say - I'd be fc uking brilliant at that job.

    Tell me about it. After my hip op now 3 weeks ago I had to self-inject blood-thinner for 10 days. It was an interesting experience seeing as like most people I don't like injections so the thought of having to give them myself was not exactly a nice one. But I manned up in the end, stopped...

    Who knows. I was commenting on the fact that T. Robinson punched somebody. Well. My first thought - I bet he was provoked. If somebody throws a milkshake at you I say its OK to throw a punch back. This is not to say it's OK to throw the milkshake in the first place. No. That is a violent...

    I like it when somebody follows an eye for an eye. Fc uk'em. Polite society - the chattering classes (ie the matriarchy that's taken over) does not like this being said.

    Sure no problem 'killing time' around here. But don't expect 'just your opinions' to go unchallenged if anybody here thinks they deserve to be challenged. You seem to be making a case that spending money on trains only benefits the 10%. I'm not so sure the figures bear that out. But then I...

    It depends on the numbers. I don't know what they are. Do you? Roads have their pros and cons just like everything else. In some places I would guess improving the trains is the better option. Like I say - it depends on the numbers - on the analysis. Not my area of expertise.

    Debate hang on the 'debate' is not over yet. Not at least till everybody's (OK me) has had their say you know. Its not come fire off and then disappear. Well. Some do I suppose. Maybe you're one of those. Say your piece and not stick around to have to defend any inherent weaknesses...

    Well. In simple terms if you're a business at point B where we just put in a train line from point A to you there at point B (or speeded the last one up either way same result) - then we're delivering to you customers who would only be there and buy your stuff because our trains brought them...

    My God. Finally. Pure sanity. This is not being sarcastic. This is the simple truth.
