That reminds me of my Dad's favourite Christmas joke (please excuse the slight paraphrasing):Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostThere's Always money to be made down on the docks.
Times are tight in the CretinGenius' household and his mum has gone on the game. Don't worry though, she came home last night with one hundred pounds and five pence. CretinGenius' Dad asked her "What tight c*** gave you five pence?" Her: "They all did".

Presumably you will be relocating soonOriginally posted by AtW View PostSo your view is that John Lewis and other big retailers (AKA importers) are not supposed to be affected by big slump in value of sterling???

I really don't know what you're all worried about.
This referendum is not legally binding; Article 50 won't be triggered without a vote in parliament and the motion will be overwhelmingly rejected. (whether or not that will require a GE somewhere down the line, I don't know but there are a number of potential scenarios).
As Jeremy Clarkson says, who cares if we upset a few million northerners who only voted leave because they were worried about living next door to a "darkie"?Comment

Nope, some local 'tards initiative - average speed check cameras in 30mph zone - at least one of them dual carriageway, which is very straight, should have been 40 mph at least.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostEU directive?

Well, if the EU isn't at fault it must be Jeremy Corbyn's fault.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
