    But there are women without ovaries as well. What to do they do?

        luckily its about the same as 1995.

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Like the passports if we "pay extra" I think we would be fast tracked but you would need to take a trip to Glasgow, Liverpool or Newport with the Brexit equivalent of your counter signed photos and forms filled in correctly.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            As we haven't suffered the economic armageddon predicted its hard to understand why rejoining would be attractive.

            Are you sure about that? The UK is slightly above Russia in the economic rankings.

            UK plc is set to flatline next year - performing worse than every other G20 country except for sanctions-crippled RUSSIA
            The UK has imposed it's own sanctions by leaving the EU.

            Remainers know their plan to re-join the EU is not just on track, but is gaining momentum with each day.

              https://www.theguardian.com/business...on-is-how-deep
              Lab have said on several occasions they are not looking to rejoin, even LibDem were saying that for a while although that is now changing a bit.
              At the moment the only true rejoin parties are Green and SNP (not sure about Plaid and some NI parties)

                So Brexit has only had the same effect on the pound as the largest global financial crisis since the Wall Street crash? That's a relief, I was worried it might have caused a few ripples

                  Not even if we hold all the cards?

                  Because we still do, hold all the cards.

                    All of the cards, you say?

                      We may hold all the cards but currently the table looks like this:
