    Not difficult to understand at all, it is simply a wholly irrelevant analogy though.

    There are far more appropriate analogies that are eminently more relevant, but if you haven't found them yet, or can't understand them, I'm not going to waste time enlightening you now.
    After all, you can't polish a turd as they say.

    You'd know that if you weren't such a plank.

    HTH

    They might say that, but they'd be wrong.

      And...How is it that the 585-page Withdrawal Agreement (including 185 articles togetherwith the protocols relating to Northern Ireland and Gibraltar) has been condensed into6 pages? This compares with the 43 pages of the prècis of the advice offered toParliament on 3 December.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        How about you let ME put it in my terms, then even a brainless halfwit like YOU may understand?

        Imagine you are at the Firm's Xmas Party and the drinks are all free at the bar.

        You can't help but notice that a lot of your fellow workers, particularly those that have not performed particularly well all year are really making hay with this benevolent arrangement.

        Then imagine that you are made aware of the fact that the cost of this frenzy is NOT being picked up by the Company themselves but, rather, the bill is being split between your good self and a small number of your fellow workers, the better performers that have largely carried the wastrels for the past year.

        You then decide to retrieve your credit card from behind the bar and leave the Party.

        This is greeted by astonishment and no small amount of chagrin by all concerned.

        Now your solution, and that of many of the other lamebrained fraternity who share with you what loosely passes for thought processes, is to walk back into the party and chuck your card behind the bar again stating "Ah well who cares? It's only money!!"

        Bully for you, but even YOU must realise that this idea does not grab everyone's enthusiasm.

          You spent hours on this turgid snorefest, without understanding that you might be taking your credit card from behind the bar, but by doing this you’re also walking away from the contract with a huge daily rate that more than covers the cost of the drinks.

            Is this the best you can do? You really shouldn't have had a go, you're clearly lacking the intelligence.

            Using your, quite frankly pathetic analogy, there would have been a contract up front on who puts their credit card behind the bar. This is presumably why you did this even though you say you thought the company was paying. The, part way through the night you plan to renege on your contract as you now feel aggrieved as someone in the toilets told you that others are less deserving of drinks. You believe this gossip. You take the card back then note that by doing this you will lose your contract, and all the benefits that go with it.

            This isn't fair though you wail You want to have the cake and eat it. Just because you signed a contract, and agreed to pay, you've now changed your mind. No fair, no fair Eventually you realise that paying for a few drinks is small fry compared to the benefits you get from being in this bar. No other bars want you; well, apart from the American bar but you're going to have to drink p1ss poor lager there at extortionate rates.

            HTH? You're welcome

            Now stop sniveling and let the adults sort out this mess you created.

              I can certainly see why he is happier attacking what others post rather than trying to write his own ideas ... his own ideas are lacking in any logic or intelligence

                There are always bigger and better contracts out there for the talented and courageous.

                But I can see why the thought of stepping into the unknown might be scary for the less skilled and adventurous.

                Too much mollycoddling in their formative years I suppose.

                      Some cretin on Twitter was bemoaning that as a result of being in the EU, we have to pay tariffs on Pineapples we import from St Kitts. That was his specific (and only) example.

                      Of course, we don't pay tariffs on Pineapples imported from St Kitts as a result of the EU's trade agreements, but it is typical of Brexiters aiming low. Far better that we don't put barriers in the way of Ford building engines and transmissions in Dagenham and Halewood and exports them to its EU plants for assembly I to cars than to worry about non existent barriers on fruit from the Caribbean.

                      If we choose to have full on trade barriers with the EU, then who will take up the slack in our economy? We already have a Trade Surplus with the US, so clearly no issues there. I'm fairly sure China isn't interested in building high tech subcomponents in the UK.

                      So where are we going to prioritise our trade if it isn't with the largest trading bloc in the world? Even Trump doesn't think no deal with your nearest and largest trading partner is a good idea.
