This Dicko bating nonsense is simply tedious and can we not call a halt to it? Why can't you guys put him on ignore like most of us have presumably done a long time ago? He has successfully been making an idiot of himself for years and doesn't need any help. I find that some of you who I regard as good guys have become almost as boring as him with your repetitive cant. 'Thickasf**k' drives me nuts. Can we not have a rest from it? How about a short break until, say, Christmas next year?

Stop talking common sense or you will get copious verbal abuse. Democracy is a real shit when a minority within a clearly defined and constituted country loses the vote. 'We wuz robbed' came the plaintive cry. I don't vote but would have preferred Remain because as I predicted the Angela led hordes are putting the boot in. We should be making contingency plans for the inevitable collapse of the EU. Why the SNP wants to become a miniscule voice in the undemocratic shambles that the EU has become amazes me. But doesn't completely surprise me. They want independence at any cost.

The only point I was trying to make, which I don't think you understand, was that the electorate has virtually no say in the choice of PM. If they really hate a PM they have the option not to vote for his or her party. Of course it would never come to that. The party concerned would drop he or she like a hot potato.

Don't care about your opinion on what is or isn't subjective. I think Scotland and Northern Ireland are crackers for sucking up to the EU and they will come to regret it. As will Eire.

Are you happy with the level of democracy demonstrated by the terminally ill EU?

Any bloody MP can theoretically become PM. MPs and party members pick them, not the general voting public. We don't need a general election to change the PM.

Worked that time. Bloody baffled!

Trying again to simply respond. What can go wrong?

Promise I've got them on. Let's see where this turns up.

Now I still accept I must be doing something wrong but I can promise I ticked the quote on Div's quote, not Shull's. Any ideas?

I'm trying to respond to Div's post sent at 9-52 yesterday. Let's see if it appears as normal. Believe me I want it to!

I agree it all looks great but I am simply having trouble replying to posts. I'm posting this now to see if it goes through.

I like the look of it but I just can't get my head round how to post properly. I hate change which I know is an age thing. I would literally need a training course to get going properly but that's not available. So reluctantly I'm out now too. I'll still read the forum but won't/can't contribute.

Grasping at straws.

It amounts to 100% of eff all. Stock markets have always gone up and down like a whore's drawers, even berore betting on markets and currencies became fashionable. It's all a big game. Life goes on and soon the current bollocks will fade. I just wish the inevitable demise of the EU would hurry up and come along.

Premium bonds could turn out to be a better investment than the euro. That's an interesting bet George Soros has got on about a German bank going bust. The EU is on the road to No Town as is the euro. Do some serious reading and listen to respected City commentators both in the UK and abroad. The consensus used to be about five years but that was before Brexit. Do you think the kerfuffle last week was solely because of Brexit? The implications for Europe will be horrendous. The SNP can't see it but then they believed oil was enough to keep Scotland going ad infinitum come hell or high water. And hell came. Every European country should be making plans for the Armageddon that will inevitably come to Europe. The lovely Angela will be in denial of course and they will probably cobble together a smaller EU Mark 2, but it will only fool the naïve.

A nasty rumour was once put about saying that bearing in mind the calibre of your posting, what would it be like if you were drunk? Of course we all recognise it was just scuttlebutt. Mind you, some of us occasionally have an excuse.

Quite like the new strip even if it is a bit Dunfermlineish a la 60's. It's not the worst. How much do we get from JD? Now that we virtually own the club I assume we can be privy to the deal. We have to live with the logo, like it or lump.

It was indeed. Had my first pint in there one lunchtime (Tennants Light 1/10d, as I had double physics straight after lunch). Thereafter, lunchtime pints were in the Park Bar where a maroon blazer under a duffle coat was a common sight. If you remember Tennants Light at 1/10d, you must be about the same vintage as me. My first regular pub was The Mayfair and I can remember light at 1/9d, heavy at 1/10d but Tennants lager was a staggering 2/3d. The old regulars (ie the over 21's) used to tell us they'd give up drink rather than pay over two bob for a pint. But they didn't.

Would that be Rock Hard in English? Never heard of him but RIP anyway.

Div, I'm crap at sending anything with attachments so I got my son to send something to you. He sent it to your webmaster email address. Hope you can find it. Rick

Good post. I don't vote but my position was that my heart said leave but my head said stay. Listen to the jungle drums coming from Europe and America. It wasn't a fear campaign that Cameron & Co were spreading. It was the truth. I felt we could afford to hold on for a year or two until Europe expired which would have prevented the nastiness, but so be it. Does everyone who thinks a debate at least about immigration should be on the agenda a racist? I don't think so.

I mentioned elsewhere that when I try to like a post, a bar comes saying I can't like that person. Well, something like that. I haven't seen an explanation. Is there one?
