woolybanana Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well, we should remember that our most worthy moderator has filled her garage and spare room with bog rolls.Not a bad example really.Coming the other way, fresh stuff and plants could become a problem.Next time in UK I shall buy lots of tinned beans of the type not sold locally.We are planning a food package run with basics too, off loading in West London. So, anyone who has a boat we can fill, please let us know, excepting those boats needed for illegal immigrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajal Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Whilst I have been resident in several different countries throughout my life I have never had the inclination to ship foodstuff etc., which I happen to be partial to, from one jurisdiction to another.However, although I am able to obtain all my requirements and needs here in France I have infact made one notable exception to the above policy.In view of the pending future European status I became rather concerned as to my ability to still be able to purchase 'HP Sauce' from either Intermarche or LeClerc. With that in mind I ordered and received last month, from the UK, a 4litre catering pack of the stuff. Sorted. B****t?? Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Try and find the black-swan report - the worst case scenario.Yellow hammer was the expected/likely. It will change, of course, when Gove releases the next "redacted" report. Nothing about long term effects of course.WB - just look at the different headlines between the Daily Mail and The Independent - as said before you plainly do not appreciate the subtle differences when reporting "fact".Your "too thick" issue is indeed correct if you quote just what the popular press spout. Sorry but your defense of "I read more" is just pathetically strange.Other recent threads of yours are equally wrong - we have just spent a few days with a friend (naturalised ) in Switzerland and her comment (not in any way pushed by us) was we ought to wait for no-deal - you aint seen anything yet.. Equivalent of 3500 euros per annum required there, (don't know the baseline but probably includes transport. knowing her).And BTW its cheaper to live as a couple - so dont double the required amount. Silly, cheap, unresearched comments from you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Richard, you clearly never leant to read any text other than an instruction manuel (Spanish. version). Learn to read a bit of subtlety. But maybe it is too late.How the heck do you know what is ‘fact’, do you have contact with Bobo? ( Be careful, verbal trap there, perhaps!)

Sunflower Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Wondering which of the categories the above posters fall into ;). "This paper builds on Becker et al. (2017) who analyze the Brexit vote shares across UK voting areas, using a wide range of explanatory variables. They show that the Leave vote shares are systematically correlated with older age, lower educational attainment, unemployment, or employment in certain industries such as manufacturing, as well as with a lack of quality of public service provision."https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0176268018301320[ScienceDirect is a (non political) major resource of scientific journals and peer reviewed papers.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 So, Jeremy Corbyn is a typical Brexiteer, then??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Apparently, the French think that yellowhammer is un marteau jaune (I saw a cartoon showing a yellow coloured hammer hitting someone on the head!)So do we use this hammer to hit remainers or to hit brexiteers? Some guidance would be helpful at this critical stage of the negotiations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunflower Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 "So, Jeremy Corbyn is a typical Brexiteer, then???"My most frequent red pen remark as an examiner was RTQ, which seems to be in point here...unless, of course, you are JC posting under a pseudonym.

woolybanana Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 But where is the allowance for originality of thought in your mark scheme of things, or for valid deviancy when the question was inadequate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCCMB Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Nice that you've resurrected your account to hurl insults, sunflower. Are you another of Richard's sock puppets or do you just like to pop in every dozen years or so to demonstrate your intellectual superiority by picking on people who haven't even contributed to the thread you're posting to? A real mark of class.Seems like there are plenty of lurkers here moaning about how they haven't posted because people like us do post ( and apparently deter others) yet there are plenty of people like yourself prepared to pop back and act as a further deterrent if the usual posters desist.

Sunflower Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It's interesting to pop back occasionally if only to remind myself of why I left.Sadly the calibre of the posters of 15 years or so ago (Micki, Dick Smith etc) are now a dim and distant memory.
