    Do people trot out this line if they were in discussions with people opposed to, for example, a constitutional monarchy? Do you feel the way legislation is made, regardless of the areas it covers, should be a matter of public interest and debate or should it just be blindly accepted?

    Is there an MEP who has delivered something for their constituents?

    History would suggest that there is very little difference between finishing 4th or 5th...but slightly favours the latter. Playoff winners by league position: 3rd - 12 4th - 6 5th - 8 6th - 5

    I like the analogy. I would probably counter though that the EU isn’t a lot of small tug boats but a huge bloody aircraft carrier. It may be turning the battleship but if it is going in the wrong direction what changes its course?

    Which laws passed in Brussels could not be passed by any other independent nation?

    In all fairness to the Germans I think they are just getting on with the things. When VW announced last week 7000 job losses and that they were shifting significant production volumes to China and the US, I don’t think Brexit was mentioned as a factor by management, media outlets...or this forum.

    I love how the ref gobs on the floor before bringing out the red card. Gangster!

    Two through the card Super Heinz placed for me today on this annual festival of spunking money up the wall just to enter the spirit of it all. One straight win, one each way. Win. 1:30 Al Dancer, 2:10 Hardline, 2:50 Mister Whittaker, 3:30 Apples Jade, 4:10 Benie Des Dieux, 4:50 A Plus Tard, 5:30 OK Corral E/W 1:30 Fakir D'Oudairies, 2:10 Ornua, 2:50 Magic of Light, 3:30 Verdana Blue, 4:10 Limini, 4:50 Highway One O One, 5:30 Atlanta Ablaze

    Of course Hourihane might have his hands up but we can't see them 'cause he's gone missing again.

    Trying to explain to a non native English speaker why you can’t call somebody ‘coloured’ but can refer to ‘people of colour’ does make you feel like you are in a bad sitcom.

    I had the misfortune to watch the Melbourne derby on the weekend and see De Laet in action. Absolute garbage! No wonder he’s not had a recall. It was like he was auditioning for that ‘walking football’ they used to mention in the Barclays adverts aimed at pensioners.

    So the plan is; Take what already is quite a complicated game. Make it more complicated. Hope that makes it more popular.

    I think that working off estimates is fine so long as you appear to have some logic behind it and have had a good stab at cost price averaging your holding. If memory serves me right I think there may be a box that you tick on the return form to show it isn't 100% accurate.

    I can understand the argument but am not wholly convinced. As an example, if I had started to watch Sco v Ire yesterday at around the 15 minute mark and seen the score 3-12 (2T), any assumptions I may draw about the balance of play so far would have probably been pretty wide of the mark. Even if it was the case, how big is the coming in late market that TV graphics have to be designed with them in mind?

    Not sure why this upsets as much as it does but I have a real hatred of the little tags they put now put over the top of rugby scores on TV to tell you how many tries have been scored by a team. I mean who are they for? People who can't count to 4? People who aren't really watching? People who suffer short term memory loss? Or is it some device to try to engage the "Me watch rugby. Me want number 4. Me know 4 good" audience?

    I wouldn't so he's famous but it's Ryan Giggs' brother. The same brother whose wife had an affair with Ryan.

    The remain camp encapsulated right there...I’ll try to make my analogies more one sided in future!

    In 1980 we go in to business. You own a 30% stake. We make £20 profit so your share is £6.50 By 2014 the business has expanded. But now you only own 15% of the business. We make £80, your share is £12. Good news story, you get more than you used to and have demonstrated yourself to be a good businessman!

    Does not being honest and open about our past, make us better people today?
  22. WhatAboutTheFinish
    The statistics were raised in relation to the EU's ability to gain competitive advantage. I know you've always been a big advocate of evidence based posts. My stats are junk, fine, what evidence can you provide that the EU has a strong track record of gaining competitive advantage against any other trading blocs? (I'm fairly sure your pie analogy is the basis of 'trickle down economics' which I think I may have read you opposing in the past, although I'm happy to be corrected)
  23. WhatAboutTheFinish
    Richest by which measure? Most lucrative by which measure? And if we add in some US data, do you still want to maintain the graph is 'meaningless' when talking about the EU's ability to either build or maintain competitive advantage?
  24. WhatAboutTheFinish
    Some further evidence of the EU's ability to calmly and patiently build up competitive advantage. They must be so good and so patient that after 30 years of almost continuous decline they are still waiting to exercise it!

    Did Liam Neeson display a racist behaviour 40 years ago? Yes. Does that make him a racist today? No.
