Empire 2.0 is ready for take-off...

So UK announces it will be going for Brexit, just as a third of the UK (geographically) is already planning to reverse that.

Not bad.....

at least 2/3 of the UK will be leaving the EU.

I'd settle for knowing when Arsenal will finally win a game.

Do you take your wife up the arse nal much?

I'm no mathmagician but I'll bet the winning ticket will have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

I think 0 will feature a lot.

They have no plans to reverse it. They have plans to whine. Nothing will happen as a result of the whining.

Which explains your lack of understanding of percentages, e.g. 52% to 48%, 55% to 45% etc etc...

The GBP/EUR rate is down about 0.03% right now.

DOOOOOOOOOOM.

Just shows the markets have priced Brexit in - there would have been some head in the sand traders, but by and large there is nothing unexpected about the announcement it will happen on wednesday, and there will be nothing unexpected about the actual trigger on Wednesday itself.

There is probably something symbolic about Wednesday that they need to wait until then, I'm just not sure what it is. Probably some other bad news to bury.

We are talking about the lottery ticket not Scotland's budget surplus.

Is it time yet?

[Mordac]

Is it time yet?

Better not be, the fizz isn't properly chilled yet. 3 or 4 more hours should do it.
