    It's interesting that in the space of a few minutes in one thread you are complaining about sexual jokes and in another you are making them yourself.

    As an aside, a friend of mine went through a sex change process a few years ago, they used to tell me about the pain (mental and physical) of making the decision and the months of drugs and "counselling" that went on where it was explained what would happen and how long it would take until the process was complete. It's not something to be entered into lightly.
    I'm not complaining about sexual jokes. If you can't tell the difference between a sexual joke and a transphobic joke then #YACNCOTBAM.

        You were implying that there is something funny about the OP having a lover who is a pre-op transexual.

          So, you took offence at me mentioning MarkyMark.
          If I had just said that the Brexit situation as described by Dim Prawn was like a pre-op transsexual, would that have been offensive to you?

            Unlike many people I didn't stay in a Remain bubble so I'm completely fine when I meet Leavers.
            Usually I let them rant on for a while (which they do) and then ask - what % of the world economy is Britain do you think? The answers I've had so far ranged from 8% to, believe it or not, 20%.

            The state of educashun nowadays, eh?
            What has the "what % of the world economy is Britain" got to do with arguments over Brexit?

                In other words you don't have one. You believe that the art of winning an argument is to make people look less intelligent by virtue of the fact that you know facts that they do not. This concept in itself displays an act of stupidity beyond anything that any other idiot can craft.

                  That's a possibility.
                  Another possibility is that I indeed have a point, but my point is wrong/invalid.
                  Yet another possibility is that my point is right but you're not smart enough to get it.

                    I am not even smart enough to see that you have made a point at all

                      2 Months After ‘Brexit’ Vote, Britain’s Push to Leave E.U. Is a Muddle

                      Not got a @£$£ clue. Just embarrassing.

                      2 Months After ‘Brexit’ Vote, Britain’s Push to Leave E.U. Is a Muddle


                      LONDON — Since Britain’s vote in June to quit the European Union, its government has promised repeatedly to make a success of withdrawal, known as Brexit.

                      More than two months later, however, it still cannot say how.

                      On Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May called cabinet ministers to a brainstorming session about the withdrawal, pledging to examine “the next steps” for Britain and to identify “opportunities that are now open to us as we forge a new role” in the world.

                      However, in ministerial offices, where turf wars have rapidly broken out, advocates of the withdrawal have discovered that four decades of European integration have left Britain so deeply embedded in the 28-nation bloc that there is no easy escape route.

                      British officials currently have neither the expertise nor the staff for the tortuous exit negotiations, which are likely to last at least three years and possibly much longer. Some analysts have even said they might take a decade.

                      But perhaps what they lack most of all is a game plan.

                      “At the moment, they haven’t got a clue,” said Charles Grant, director of the Center for European Reform, a London-based research institute. “It is such a difficult challenge with such disparate leaders at the top of government, with such different views, that they are trying to work out how to respond.”
                      "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain
