      What did she do, drink it?
      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.

        Haha, same. This is one of those threads that brought out the "Oh man, I'd almost forgotten that" memories in me.

          But what about the paddling pool?

            No. she'd spend the first 4 minutes putting one toe at a time in, screaming "IT'S FREEEEEEZIN'!". Then once fully submerged, she'd decide it would be hilarious to take a running jump, slip on the grass, land on top of the semi-inflated wall that my dad had half-heartedly blown up whilst still smoking a fag, before giving up with the words "That'll do", which would then pop under her weight. The rest of the afternoon was spent trying to fit the paddling pool in the bin (pre wheelie-bin days) and being told by my mum to stay off the lawn because there's too much water on it, even though the plan was to spend the afternoon in a pool.

              Paddling pools. Lol.

              Why not just build a proper pool like me?

                      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
