The Irish Punt? Never heard of it. I really know nothing about Ireland. I mean, I know you now use the Euro and then it collapsed, which is hilarious for those of us that don't have it and hopefully never will. You know, if Mr. Cameron gets his finger out of his arse and gives us a vote... Well punt is Irish for Pound, it was the Irish pound which was based off the British pound AFAIK. The Euro hasn't collapsed....yet. So, Monopoly. I'll remember that unwritten rule. If I'm losing, I can use it my advantage. Actually, Paddy Johnson was my euphemism for a condom. Isn't Johnson slang for something in that region? I can see it catching on, I really can. My mother is swell. How's yours doing, Murphy? To be honest with you, Belfast was the only other Irish city I could think of at the time. Hmm, Cork. Erm, Derry. Erm, nope. I think there's a Lingfield, I hear it all the time on the football results. I'm not sure where that is. But apart from all them, I'm out. I'll remember Galway. Wasn't that the name of a politician? Hmm... Well, maybe you might be playing with hardcore Monopoly fans and the games might actually be finished, in which case, good luck to you.  I never heard Paddy Johnson as a euphemism for a condom. A johnson is American slang for penis, from the big lebowski the German says: "ve vill cut off your Johnson" I was going for a Freud joke, but I missed it, *keeps smoking cigar*. My knowledge of Britain is greater than your knowledge of Ireland, I should win a prize. The thing with Microsoft is that they are good with desktops and laptops, but they shot themselves in the foot when they said the PC was dead, long live the tablet. That everyone will be using tablets in five years, not PCs, and therefore we'll create Windows 8 specifically for tablets, therefore, it doesn't really work on desktop - I just think it was too soon. So, hacking with Linux? Know something about that, do you? *puffs cigar* Android is a good shout, they're definitely the biggest rivals to Apple, I think they're the people Apple are keeping a close eye on. I mean, Apple can't maintain their dominance forever, but they're doing a good impression of an undefeatable supervillain. I think Microsoft see their future in several areas, but with tablets, I think they are doomed, at least for now whilst Apple are on top. But yeah, they do have their games consoles and we don't know what they'll do next. Did they actually say the PC was dead? I know they created windows 8 with tablets in mind but they also have a desktop version for it, so they're clearly hedging their bets. I can't say if Microsoft are dead with tablets yet cause I honestly have no idea about it. I know the OS to use, it's called Kali Linux and I have used it a couple of times to do basic things, not actually hacking though. Anrdoid are a huge thread to apple, I'm not sure who is winning in the phone market but android devices tend to give you more freedom to do things with your device than others. I hear you can't use bluetooth with regular devices on the iPhone. I mean, didn't Google invent sex glasses or something? Now that's creepy. I haven't seen anyone with the google glass and I can't think of a good function for it that a smartphone or tablet doesn't meet. I'm sure most people keep the google glasses off during sex, most people. I'm sure I've been in a few cars with DAB. I'm not sure though, because it never worked. It may have been internet based, an antenna on the roof or something. I'm not sure. You don't really need BBC Radio 4 in high quality to listen to it, so don't worry. All they do is talk, even on a bad day you can still listen to The Archers. I've never seen cars with DAB radios but then again when I'm in cars I don't ask if the radios work with DAB or not, if I got a car all I would want is one with a 3.5mm jack to plug in my own headphones. It's my dad I would want the archers for, not me. Dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum... 'Marianne walks into a shop to buy some eggs. They don't have any eggs. Marianne is disappointed.' Dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum. Next week on the Archers does Marianne get the eggs? Is Marianne infertile? Oh sure, after 35 passes, the data becomes 'hard to recover', but who's telling you that? Aha, exactly. 35 passes is what they want you to think. Ah, you see, my head is screwed firmly on. I know what they're up to. I know all their dirty little tricks. I can't even remember when this conversation started, let alone when it was about television. Well, I can't be arsed finding the paper on secure deletion but to verify this you can use a recovery program to check for improperly deleted files. Don't worry Spork, just because your paranoid doesn't mean there are people watching you as we speak. Erm, I just watched another episode of Salamander. Nearly at the end of the one off series. It's turning into Belgian 24. And I'm about to put on Grand Designs Oz. Down Under Kevin McCloud is wonderful. Should really learn his proper name, though... Sounds Scottish, I would pronounce it while cursing and drinking IRN BRU. |

I'm sure I read somewhere there was an Irish bailout. Doesn't sound like the euro is doing too well. Still, it hasn't collapsed... yet. You don't play games you're a novice at with hardcore players. You play against people you can beat, like children. And if you loose against them, it's a pretty good indicator you're not very good at said game. I've never seen The Big Lebowski. I am intrigued about who is cutting of who's wang, though. Heck, I hadn't even seen Airplane! until two days ago. Going for a Freud joke? That cigar you keep smoking - is that symbolising something? That's a Freud joke. Oh, another? Okay. How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change. You should win a prize for your knowledge of Britain. Here you go, a pint of Guinness with a little leprechaun on top holding a little umbrella. All he can say is, "Fecking potatoes!" All served by a busty maiden dressed in green singing a bit of Bono. Microsoft basically said the PC was dying and people are turning to tablets, that, in the not too distant future, people would only be using tablets. So they created Windows 8 specifically for tablets and then adapted it to desktops, rather then what they usually do, which is design the OS for desktops and then adapt it for tablets. So, they certainly believe in tablets as the future of computing, although I just can't see it, myself. The one thing about Apple is that you are restricted. Certain things you can't view or do, you can't customise it unless you Jailbreak it, which is basically hacking, very easy to do but voids the warranty, and is legal. Although Apple really don't like it, so if your device gets damaged and you take it to the store, they check to see if it's been Jailbroken and if it has, they won't fix it. Even the insurance is a bit dodgy on it. Apple want all their devices to be uniform in colour, design, function, et al. It's a bit controlling. Whereas with Android, you're free to do as you wish. Heck, until recently, you only had one font on the native notepads app. One of the big things about Apple is that you can't view Flash because the enemy created it, whereas Apple created HTML5, the alternative. So, you can view HTML5, but not Flash. It's Apple's way of forcing HTML5 down our throats. It's ridiculous, but Jailbreaking can get round it. Mine isn't Jailbroken. One wrong move, you ruin your device and can't get it fixed if it breaks. Whilst it's easy to do, it's easy to get wrong. You learn to get used to it, but it is an inconvenience, and with them removing Google Maps and YouTube, both owned by Google who I think are behind Android, it's got worse. Hence why I haven't updated mine for a while. There's a sex app with Google Glass. I found this article on it. The photos are brilliant, but what you have to say is even better. Words simply fail me: www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/21/how-to-make-sex-more-awesome-using-google-glassYou should give The Archer's a go. It's wonderfully crap. Dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum... 'Marianne arrives home. She heads to the fridge for her third bottle of whisky that day. She then notices she already had some eggs.' Dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum. So, you say there isn't anybody watching me? It wouldn't surprise me if someone was watching me. Lord Cameron, for example... Kevin McCloud is the presenter of Grand Designs UK. I just refer to his counterpart as Australian Kev. McCloud was actually born on Bedfordshire, but that is a Scottish name. Hd doesn't look Scottish. So, you'd pronounce it whilst cursing and drinking IRN BRU? Cool. Anything fried in that jamboree, perchance? I actually found out Australian Kev is called Peter Maddison. He's an architect, unlike our Kev. He gave the couple a suggestion, but they didn't listen to him. There was a wall of glass, and Pete suggested it should open, like opening glass, 'if you know what a mean'. In the UK, we call that a window. I still prefer Australian Kev to 'Peter' though... |

I'm sure I read somewhere there was an Irish bailout. Doesn't sound like the euro is doing too well. Still, it hasn't collapsed... yet. Yeah, the Irish economy needed a bailout many years ago but the euro is still strong, it has another twenty or so countries to prop it up. You don't play games you're a novice at with hardcore players. You play against people you can beat, like children. And if you loose against them, it's a pretty good indicator you're not very good at said game. Good idea, start with weaker oppopents first I've never seen The Big Lebowski. I am intrigued about who is cutting of who's wang, though. Heck, I hadn't even seen Airplane! until two days ago. It's okay to not have seen the big lebowski but Airplane is one of the best comedies ever made and you must see it, now see Airplane 2. Going for a Freud joke? That cigar you keep smoking - is that symbolising something? That's a Freud joke. Oh, another? Okay. How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change. "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" I like the lightbulb joke, you're a bright one. You should win a prize for your knowledge of Britain. Here you go, a pint of Guinness with a little leprechaun on top holding a little umbrella. All he can say is, "Fecking potatoes!" All served by a busty maiden dressed in green singing a bit of Bono. With your knowledge of Ireland you get a poll tax, a miners strike and a Sky Digital subscription to watch the Saturday Footie' on. Microsoft basically said the PC was dying and people are turning to tablets, that, in the not too distant future, people would only be using tablets. So they created Windows 8 specifically for tablets and then adapted it to desktops, rather then what they usually do, which is design the OS for desktops and then adapt it for tablets.

I know they designed Windows 8 with tablets in mind and then adapted it for desktop use. From browsing the internet on my smartphone it's handy to use BUT I believe they are good for casual browsing, for serious amounts of posting on the internet at least you need a laptop and a desktop is best. That's one thing that annoys me about all smartphones, Jailbreaking (and the Android equivalent) Rooting, you can't do what you want with your product that you bought and it's locked by default, I rooted my android phone recently and I'm glad I did to remove some annoying apps, okay, a lot of apps. I guess it makes sense that it breaks the warranty however since with rooting you can break the phone more or less or let a virus on that could do pretty bad damage to your phone, but however like I believe it's your device and you should have the ability to do what you want with it, most windows & apple machines come with admin priviliges and you can do almost anything you want with them, sure you can break them but at least you have the option to break them. Heck, until recently, you only had one font on the native notepads app. One of the big things about Apple is that you can't view Flash because the enemy created it, whereas Apple created HTML5, the alternative. So, you can view HTML5, but not Flash. It's Apple's way of forcing HTML5 down our throats. It's ridiculous, but Jailbreaking can get round it. Mine isn't Jailbroken.

Words simply fail me: www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/21/how-to-make-sex-more-awesome-using-google-glassI think notepads are about being as simple as possible so having them with only one font makes sense, they're supposed to have as few frills as possible and just be about basic text editing, word processing is for fonts and that stuff. I thought HTML5 was created by an independent group which Apple would happily adopt because like you said it is very open with who you work, it's for everybody and there's no restrictions on it because it's a programming language, whereas flash is owned by another company. I think HTML5 is being adopted by everybody now because it's meant to be technially better for reasons I don't understand. My phone's screen was broken last year so I brought it to a shop run by a chinese woman to get the screen fixed, it wasn't an official place but they did a damn good job at a decent price too, the warranty is probably expired by now anyway. Wow, apple really do hate Microsoft, I like having google maps on my phone for finding places and youtube is handy just to lookup some videos, don't update spork. I'm sure there's an apple alternative to google maps. That might be cool to try, but first I need google glass, then a girlfriend.  You should give The Archer's a go. It's wonderfully crap. Dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum... 'Marianne arrives home. She heads to the fridge for her third bottle of whisky that day. She then notices she already had some eggs.' Dum-di-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum-di-dum-di-dum-dum. Because my father listens to it so much I've heard a lot of episodes, he admits it's bad but likes it anyway, it doesn't seem much different from a television soap opera like Coronation Street. So, you say there isn't anybody watching me? It wouldn't surprise me if someone was watching me. Lord Cameron, for example... I say just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean somebody isn't watching you. No idea who he is, unless you mean David Cameron. Kevin McCloud is the presenter of Grand Designs UK. I just refer to his counterpart as Australian Kev. McCloud was actually born on Bedfordshire, but that is a Scottish name. Hd doesn't look Scottish.

Ah, the Eurozone. What a wonderful idea that was. One currency supported by the will of the people. And about 20 countries.
Meh, whatever floats your boat.
I enjoyed Airplane! but I heard Airplane! 2 was one of the worst sequels in history. I don't know where I read that, but it certainly doesn't make me want to see it.
The thing about Airplane! is that most of it is stuff you shouldn't be laughing at. It's more of a shocked laughter, like with Blazing Saddles.
"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
Jeezum crow... There are fifty of those.
Tell me, when is a cigar ever just a cigar?
Unless you're a 1940s detective.
Wow, thanks for my prize. Always wanted a poll tax and another miner's strike. Yea, me.
Although the Sky thingy is wonderful. 25 quid a month sports costs, so a free subscription is marvellous.
There are some tricks and tips to get around Apple problems, various apps and the like, but Apple need to approve those apps so it's not ideal. But there are chinks in the amour. You can hide native apps by doing things like holding them down and dragging them to certain places. There are ways to do things without Jailbreaking.
I use my notepads app all the time, so when we got additional fonts, it was pretty cool.
I think HTML5 is better but most websites still use Flash, so with Apple, there are a large number of websites that you just can't use. I mean, there are many, many web browsers you can download onto Apple devices alongside the native Safari broswer, that allow Flash, but none of them are free. There's a workaround and then you get hit with a bill. One step forward, one step back.
I like you got your phone fixed at a place that sounds like a backstreet shop. That's brilliant. 'There's this Chinese woman, she's great'. There isn't actually an Apple store in my town, I think the nearest is Newcaslte, but there is a Storm which sell Apple products. I got mine off the internet.
The thing with Google Sex Glass is trying to find a girlfriend who'll think it isn't weird,
"Oh this? On my face? Ah, yes. This enables me to watch myself during sex".
That'll have to be one understanding girl.
Do you think technology has gotten to the point we're just inventing things for the sake of invention?
'Oh, I have an idea. Do you know when you really want to watch yourself during sex?'
Erm, no.
Just get her to hold up a mirror.
'I say just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean somebody isn't watching you.'
Hang on, is that a double negative? Does not, is not, therefore, they are. Hmm, I'll have to think about that one.
Yes, I was referring to Sir Dave. He thinks of himself as lord and master of all, so, Lord Cameron Master of Toolville.
What? I didn't vote for him...
How does someone look Scottish?
I don't know, they just do. If you lined up an American, Canadian, Australian and Scot, in a random order, I should be able to pick out the Scot 8 times out of 10. I don't know how, I thought everyone could.
Oh, you're gonna test me now, aren't you?
I'd just say that Kevin McCloud looks English and Peter Maddison looks either Australian or South African.
Of course I could be wrong, but the kilt tends to be a giveaway.

Ah, the Eurozone. What a wonderful idea that was. One currency supported by the will of the people. And about 20 countries. Meh, whatever floats your boat. Well, Switzerland has already started voting in it's interests and against what the EU rule states so perhaps when nations start to work in their interests and not what the EU says more and more then the dissolution of the EU might begin, or if the EU becomes overcrowded and nations start to break out of it. I enjoyed Airplane! but I heard Airplane! 2 was one of the worst sequels in history. I don't know where I read that, but it certainly doesn't make me want to see it. The thing about Airplane! is that most of it is stuff you shouldn't be laughing at. It's more of a shocked laughter, like with Blazing Saddles. "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" Airplane 2 was still pretty good, not as good as the first mind you but still a damn good film. Jeezum crow... There are fifty of those. Tell me, when is a cigar ever just a cigar? Unless you're a 1940s detective. Wow, thanks for my prize. Always wanted a poll tax and another miner's strike. Yea, me. A cigar is never just a cigar if freud is to believed. I genuinely laughed at loud at the poll tax and miner's strike comment. Although the Sky thingy is wonderful. 25 quid a month sports costs, so a free subscription is marvellous. Damn sky, charging €8 extra a month for the movie package, we just have the most basic package you can get with sky, nothing extra. There are some tricks and tips to get around Apple problems, various apps and the like, but Apple need to approve those apps so it's not ideal. But there are chinks in the amour. You can hide native apps by doing things like holding them down and dragging them to certain places. There are ways to do things without Jailbreaking.

'There's this Chinese woman, she's great'. There isn't actually an Apple store in my town, I think the nearest is Newcaslte, but there is a Storm which sell Apple products. I got mine off the internet. Android are pretty strict and you can't do anything you want to the phone without rooting it, I rooted mine and was impressed by the choices I then got. Notepad in my mind shouldn't have fonts, it should be a really basic text editor like the linux text editors. Yeah, come to think of it now I remember the deal with apple and flash, considering all that I'm glad that I can watch flash on all of my devices. That apple flash problem sounds like a massive pain, there has to be a way to watch flash without paying for it though. It was a legal shop as far as I know, I mean there was nothing illegitimate about it, nothing compared to the one I went to years ago to get my phone unlocked run by nigerian guys, that screamed of being a dangerous shop. Even if it was a backstreet shop, it worked fine and I'm glad with the result. The thing with Google Sex Glass is trying to find a girlfriend who'll think it isn't weird, "Oh this? On my face? Ah, yes. This enables me to watch myself during sex". That'll have to be one understanding girl. Do you think technology has gotten to the point we're just inventing things for the sake of invention? 'Oh, I have an idea. Do you know when you really want to watch yourself during sex?' Erm, no. Just get her to hold up a mirror. Unless she likes being filmed with the google glass because holding the camera mid sex was such a pain. 'I say just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean somebody isn't watching you.' Hang on, is that a double negative? Does not, is not, therefore, they are. Hmm, I'll have to think about that one. Hey, you made a double negative too which I did not point out. That quote really gets to the paranoid people that's all. Yes, I was referring to Sir Dave. He thinks of himself as lord and master of all, so, Lord Cameron Master of Toolville. What? I didn't vote for him... How does someone look Scottish? I don't know, they just do.

Of course I could be wrong, but the kilt tends to be a giveaway. Well, he went to Eton, so he might as well be a lord. I can see what you mean, I think the Irish and British have a very distinctive look to them that I can spot very easily, I can't really differentiate between sub-groups however. If he's wearing a kilt that might be a giveaway that he's a tourist to Scotland, not necessarily a Scot himself. |

Man, Switzerland is in the EU now? When did that happen? It's growing too fast, I'm losing track.
Well, the UK could be the first to leave when we get to vote whether we leave or not. Not sure when that vote is. 2016, I think. Mmm, counting down the days. Of course, if Scotland has left us by that point, we'll be in the strange situation of having a nation further north a part of a group further south, with the in-between bit not affiliated with either.
You see, this is why I didn't do politics. Too bloody confusing.
I think you've given the first positive review I've read of Airplane! 2. Ooh look, I can rhyme.
I believe the official name of Sky is 'rip-off merchants'. Never feel comfortable giving Murdoch money. It's like the EU of television.
A colossal conglomerate trampling on everything that gets in its way, a strangely alluring phenomena that you can't take your eyes off. Like a baby slipping on a wooden floor every time they try to stand up. You want to do something but it's so damn adorable.
I think the only way to watch Flash without paying for it is to Jailbreak. It can be a pain, but you just have to find ways around it.
And yes, it's probably not a good idea trying to get your phone unlocked by a group of strange Nigerian men. That doesn't sound safe at all, but on the plus side, if things turn ugly, you have a phone you could throw at them, temporarily distracting them to run away. And you have other things you could throw, too.
Shoes, keys, underwear...
You seem to know a lot about holding cameras during sex. Is it a pain? I mean, if it's one of those '90s video cameras, then yes, otherwise, just use your phone. God, they're so light these days you could just Blu Tac it to the wall. But if Google Glass is the way it's going, then you probably can't stop it.
The biggest problem with it would be if the battery ran out prematurely.
Oh, and I did not not do that with what was not that thing that you said was not not when it was not the not not that you alluded to. I saw your double negative and I raised you a... erm, lot of negatives.
It is easy to spot the difference between an Irishman and a Brit. The Irishman is usually the one lying face down in a pool of his own vomit...
He, he, he. Ah, made myself laugh there.
Would a tourist to Scotland wear a kilt? Isn't that a bit like a tourist to France wearing an onion necklace?

Till then, got recommended to 'Suits' Now, as you were ppl I think I might have to give in to watching Game of Thrones at some point, though I feel like I should read it first. Falling Skies is on my list of things to try as well. |

Man, Switzerland is in the EU now? When did that happen? It's growing too fast, I'm losing track. They're kind of in an exception status, they're in the EU but they don't have to follow all regulations. Well, the UK could be the first to leave when we get to vote whether we leave or not. Not sure when that vote is. 2016, I think. Mmm, counting down the days. Of course, if Scotland has left us by that point, we'll be in the strange situation of having a nation further north a part of a group further south, with the in-between bit not affiliated with either. Are you guys voting on leaving the EU, well you were never really in it in the first place. You see, this is why I didn't do politics. Too bloody confusing. I don't really follow it either, I just have a slight knowledge of what's going on, like the Ukraine might be at war with Russia. I think you've given the first positive review I've read of Airplane! 2. Ooh look, I can rhyme. Well once you see it you can make the second positive review. I believe the official name of Sky is 'rip-off merchants'. Never feel comfortable giving Murdoch money. It's like the EU of television. A colossal conglomerate trampling on everything that gets in its way, a strangely alluring phenomena that you can't take your eyes off. Like a baby slipping on a wooden floor every time they try to stand up. You want to do something but it's so damn adorable. Hue hue hue, EU of television, good analogy. I think the only way to watch Flash without paying for it is to Jailbreak. It can be a pain, but you just have to find ways around it. And yes, it's probably not a good idea trying to get your phone unlocked by a group of strange Nigerian men. That doesn't sound safe at all, but on the plus side, if things turn ugly, you have a phone you could throw at them, temporarily distracting them to run away. And you have other things you could throw, too. Shoes, keys, underwear... Then Jailbreak it. They turned out to be reliable in the end and I was desperate at the time, it was unlocking the phone so it could use any sim at all. You seem to know a lot about holding cameras during sex. Is it a pain? I mean, if it's one of those '90s video cameras, then yes, otherwise, just use your phone. God, they're so light these days you could just Blu Tac it to the wall. But if Google Glass is the way it's going, then you probably can't stop it. The biggest problem with it would be if the battery ran out prematurely. I don't, I'm just imagining the logistics of bringing a camera into bed. I mean I thought about having a GoPro and how handy it would be for cycling and general handsfree uses so I doubt having a GoPro for sex wouldn't be a bad idea either, it's waterproof too.... So google know where you live and can watch you have sex, well the people at google are going to have a fun time. I think the battery running out prematurely would be better than something else ending prematurely... Oh, and I did not not do that with what was not that thing that you said was not not when it was not the not not that you alluded to. I saw your double negative and I raised you a... erm, lot of negatives. It is easy to spot the difference between an Irishman and a Brit. The Irishman is usually the one lying face down in a pool of his own vomit... He, he, he. Ah, made myself laugh there. Would a tourist to Scotland wear a kilt? Isn't that a bit like a tourist to France wearing an onion necklace? I'll go boldly and raise you a split infinitive. I'll give you that joke, it was pretty good. When they come back from Scotland they wear their kilts for a week to show how up close with the culture they are. I think a better example would be to go to France and never wash yourself. |

Bloody lucky Switzerland. Doing what the UK does but officially.
Jammy gits...
Basically, Dave has said that if we vote to keep him as Prime Minster at the next general election, then he'll hold a referendum on whether or not we should stay or leave the EU. Labour want one now. And the Lib Dems are merrily playing on the swings, completely unaware of everything.
All the opinion polls show a vast majority want out, which Dave doesn't, so it's unclear what'll happen on that glorious day.
It'll be a long and winding road.
I can see Russia/Ukraine/Crimea kicking off. Crimea are holding a vote to join The Russian Federation which Ukraine says is an illegitimate vote, and the EU leaders can't agree on what to do, so the Americans are getting involved. Russia has soldiers on the ground in Crimea, I can see Ukraine snapping.
Why would you need a waterproof camera during... oh, never mind.
Consider yourself boldly gone. It's actually grammatically acceptable. As Irishman George Bernard Shaw once said:
'There is a busybody on your staff who devotes a lot of time to chasing split infinitives: I call for the immediate dismissal of this pedant. It is of no consequence whether he decides to go quickly or to quickly go or quickly to go. The important thing is that he should go at once.'
Ah, the Scottish and the French, two of the last three groups left that people can still offend without repercussion.
An endless source of joy...

Bloody lucky Switzerland. Doing what the UK does but officially. Jammy gits... Well I don't see the UK making Swiss style chocolates any time soon. Basically, Dave has said that if we vote to keep him as Prime Minster at the next general election, then he'll hold a referendum on whether or not we should stay or leave the EU. Labour want one now. And the Lib Dems are merrily playing on the swings, completely unaware of everything. All the opinion polls show a vast majority want out, which Dave doesn't, so it's unclear what'll happen on that glorious day. It'll be a long and winding road. That's a stupid ultimatum because if he offers that so far before the next election, every other party will adopt that referendum just to appeal to the majority, I mean why shouldn't they offer that also, I think you'll see every other party offering and then regardless of who gets in the vote will happen anyway. Hey, perhaps the vote was going to happen anyway and he just wanted to offer something sweet. I can see some advantages to leaving the EU at this stage but you guys were never really in it, so leaving it might be easier for you guys, if the benefits for leaving the EU become too great for the economic powerhouses like Germany, France and the UK then the EU might collapse as all the succesful nations leave, not sure if that will happen however. I can see Russia/Ukraine/Crimea kicking off. Crimea are holding a vote to join The Russian Federation which Ukraine says is an illegitimate vote, and the EU leaders can't agree on what to do, so the Americans are getting involved. Russia has soldiers on the ground in Crimea, I can see Ukraine snapping. I don't like what's going on in Crimea at the moment, however I find it massively hypocritical for America to criticise Russia for it's actions when America often just does what it wants or enters countries on weak justifications. I was worried last year with North Korea but that fizzled out towards nothing, but Russia are a different story and something serious could potentially happen, I hope not however. In criticising America however I don't think either party has the moral high ground and both are probably as bad as each other, I just prefer America since my country has greater ties with it. Why would you need a waterproof camera during... oh, never mind. Consider yourself boldly gone. It's actually grammatically acceptable. As Irishman George Bernard Shaw once said: 'There is a busybody on your staff who devotes a lot of time to chasing split infinitives: I call for the immediate dismissal of this pedant. It is of no consequence whether he decides to go quickly or to quickly go or quickly to go. The important thing is that he should go at once.' Ah, the Scottish and the French, two of the last three groups left that people can still offend without repercussion. An endless source of joy... That's a great quote, I'm not really that pedantic though and as long as posts are readable I don't care too much for grammar. Who's the last group....the Irish? |

The UK may not make Swiss chocolates, but we do have Rumsey's Chocolates. British made. I think that trumps the Swiss chocolates.
Rumsey's all the way...
Seriously, Rumsey's? Couldn't get more British.
I think the EU vote was always gonna happen, it's just Labour and Lib Dems, the only two realistic candidates to the Prime Ministership, are dragging their heals on it. Labour are a bit 'meh' about it, they like the EU but they want to be seen as a 'party for the people', people who don't like the EU. Whereas Cameron is trying to say the Conservatives are the people's party and he will, unlike the other two, definitely have a vote, if, and only if, we vote for him in the next election. And the Lib Dems are trying all they can to force an EU referendum but it keeps getting shut down in Parliament. And I have not even got on to the backbench Conservatives who disagree with Cameron and are trying all they can to force a vote. It is a right kerfuffle.
The polls are always changing, it has always been pretty tight, but I think Cameron is currently on top. The thing is, nobody likes the Conservatives or Labour, but at least Cameron has some ideas, he might be an insufferable oaf, but he is worth keeping for another few years if we can get out of the EU which is ripping the UK apart. Cameron does not want to leave, but at least he wants to listen. Miliband, on the other hand, is just a twat with a silly face and no ideas. He does not want to listen.
It might be a cheap ploy from Camsey but I think people would take it right now. We get out of the EU and we do not have Miliband in charge. Win-win. Lesser of two evils, and all that.
At the end of the day, we are a democracy, the majority want out, Miliband does not care what we think, ergo, with him our democracy would die. I do not care if the north is a Labour stronghold, my town has almost fallen to the Conservatives several times and there was only a few hundred in it last time. If Labour lose us, it will be one of their biggest losses, and I am surprised they have not already.
Labour is clueless. Let us leave the EU. Simples.
You are very right about the hypocrisy of America, they pointed that out on The Daily Show and I just thought, 'Yeah, that is a bit messed up'. Some have been accusing Obama of dragging his feet, talking instead of invading, but I think the most level headed President will snap eventually. It seems like there are a lot of people on edge, like during the Cold War, there were lots of fingers over buttons, it feels the same now.
Russia scares me. They have too much power and too much cluelessness in charge of that power. Despite America, I still think Russia was in the wrong, but they have not let any of the former USSR nations free, really. They are always intervening, it must be terrifying living next to Russia. The audacity of entering a country and thinking it's 'legal' is ridiculous.
I saw that standoff between Ukrainian and Russian forces, and the Russians had guns pointed at them telling the Ukrainians to back down, but the Ukrainians had no weapons, they just wanted to talk. It was incredible, it just showed the panic of one side and the desire for democracy on the other. Russia is like a paranoid schizophrenic.
As Obama said, 'if Russia thinks they are obeying international law, then they must have a different set of lawyers than I do.'
It's Ukrainian territory, I feel really sorry for the people. There's not a lot they can do, really. It must feel like having the barrel of a gun pointed at you 24/7.
Everyone just needs to calm the feck down.
I was quite worried about North Korea last year, too, but not because I feared they would fire bombs at the west but because their weapons were shoddy and God knows where they'll have landed or who they'd have killed. It is run by a tyrannical lunatic. Like Russia. Kindred spirits...
'That's a great quote, I'm not really that pedantic though and as long as posts are readable I don't care too much for grammar'.
Nor am I. Although you really should not use contractions...
And yes, the Irish is the last group.
The showrunner of The Simpsons said they are the last group you can offend without fear of reprisal.
It's the motto I live by, paddy.

If Labour lose us, it will be one of their biggest losses, and I am surprised they have not already. Labour is clueless. Let us leave the EU. Simples. That sounds like what happens here, whichever party goes into power does not get elected in the next election because they cannot fix the country as much you would like them too, honestly no single party can solve any and all problems so the smaller fringe parties tend to gain ground or it just swings like a pendulum from one main party to the next with each successive election. Also, the other point about a democracy is that group really only works when each member of a group gains more from being in the group than if they were alone, perhaps the UK could leave the EU safely and secondly like you said they could act in their own interests and not the interests of the EU. While the EU has really helped in Ireland there are some sanctions which have been pretty bad for it. You are very right about the hypocrisy of America, they pointed that out on The Daily Show and I just thought, 'Yeah, that is a bit messed up'. Some have been accusing Obama of dragging his feet, talking instead of invading, but I think the most level headed President will snap eventually.

There's not a lot they can do, really. It must feel like having the barrel of a gun pointed at you 24/7. I wouldn't say Obama is particularly peaceful either, I think each president is roughly the same as each other with regards to war, Obama has been using drone strikes in pakistan and has many other instances of war. Obama appeared weak on the world stage which more due to his reticent lack of action than him being level headed. It seems to be a lot like the cold war which does worry me. Also, my point was that Russia is in the wrong but that America would carry out the same actions, to me neither America nor Russia can claim the moral high ground that's all and both will protect their own interests, but now I'm just stating the obvious. Everyone just needs to calm the feck down. I was quite worried about North Korea last year, too, but not because I feared they would fire bombs at the west but because their weapons were shoddy and God knows where they'll have landed or who they'd have killed. It is run by a tyrannical lunatic. Like Russia. Kindred spirits... Me too, although they would be wiped out by the combined armies of Japan, South Korea & America, worst case scenario was dragging Russia into the mix and causing WW3, however I don't think it would benefit Russia enough to join up with North Korea. 'That's a great quote, I'm not really that pedantic though and as long as posts are readable I don't care too much for grammar'. Nor am I. Although you really should not use contractions...

Well, I've never heard of any Irish chocolate, either.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if you have Guinness flavoured chocolate.
You do, don't you? Knew it.
I think, fundamentally, all forms of government are flawed on some level. You can't do everything for everyone. I suppose in that respect, there's something in a total anarchy government.
I think in the UK, people will struggle to name much the EU have done for us. They promised so much and they've delivered so little. Whilst the idea of an idealistic union uniting nations sounds wonderful, we already have the UN and they can't handle it, either. You could argue it's the difference of size, but both groups struggle. The difference with the EU is that it is redundant.
I mean, Italy was landed with a six million Euro (Euros? I'm not sure) bill last year for incorrectly weighing bananas.
Would a warning not have sufficed?
And don't even get me started on what the EU did to our weights and measures.
And oh yes, America has been using drone strikes. I got so used to them denying it, I forgot. I do think though, when it comes to Russia, because the United States does not trade that much with them, that they are less interested in them than, ooh, let's pick a country at random, Iraq. So I do think America won't dive in to this until they feel they have to.
But, on saying that, if this Crimea vote goes ahead next week, I can see Ukraine rebelling to try to get their land back off the Russians, and the rest of the world will have to intervene to stop an all out war. Russia will probably end up loosing, but then there's the worry of a civil war, Crimea wanting total independence, Ukraine will rebel, the whole region could become destabilised, and ties with Russia will be in tatters. And there could be a huge casualty number. If you look at recent history, there is a precedence for this happening.
Look at Libya and Syria, we helped one, we didn't help the other, if we have to intervene in this mess, I don't know what we'll do.
It's very important to get this sorted now, because things will turn ugly eventually.
I think America always tries to claim the moral high ground. America wants the world to see them as heroes and protectors of all, which they aren't. If they flex their military muscles, it's more of a show of strength than anything.
It got to the point last year where WW3 seemed to be minutes away. Every time you turned on the news, that clock seemed to get a little closer to midnight. Thank heavens it fizzled out.
All these leaders, their problems are with each other, but countless innocents die at the hands of their madness. Just put them in a boxing ring and let them slug it out...
'What's wrong with my use of contractions?'
I was always taught that it's grammatically incorrect to use contractions. You shouldn't say 'it's', it's 'it is', and so on. I'm not sure if it's formal or every day language, but it's apparently very lazy and not proper grammar.
To be honest, what we write sounds strange without contractions.
And half of it doesn't make sense.

Well, I've never heard of any Irish chocolate, either. Although I wouldn't be surprised if you have Guinness flavoured chocolate. You do, don't you? Knew it. There's Butler's chocolates, they do nice chocolates, don't know think they're internationally reknown however. We don't have Guinness flavoured chocolate, thank god we don't, because they would probably taste awful. I think, fundamentally, all forms of government are flawed on some level. You can't do everything for everyone. I suppose in that respect, there's something in a total anarchy government. All people tend towards order, in an anarchy the guy with the biggest stick would come out as the ruler. I think in the UK, people will struggle to name much the EU have done for us. They promised so much and they've delivered so little. Whilst the idea of an idealistic union uniting nations sounds wonderful, we already have the UN and they can't handle it, either. You could argue it's the difference of size, but both groups struggle. The difference with the EU is that it is redundant. I mean, Italy was landed with a six million Euro (Euros? I'm not sure) bill last year for incorrectly weighing bananas. Would a warning not have sufficed? And don't even get me started on what the EU did to our weights and measures. I have no idea about the EU for the UK, it's insanely hard to control an increasingly larger group of people in defence of the EU. I can't think of many benefits for the UK that the EU could give, it's a large and succesful enough nation to run itself but I have no idea about the UK and EU and maybe there are some benefits for the UK which we don't know about. Really, that sounds ridiculous? There's probably more to do than I hear about. And oh yes, America has been using drone strikes. I got so used to them denying it, I forgot. I do think though, when it comes to Russia, because the United States does not trade that much with them, that they are less interested in them than, ooh, let's pick a country at random, Iraq.

And there could be a huge casualty number. If you look at recent history, there is a precedence for this happening. Well I know that most of the EU is dependent upon Russia and Ukraine for it's Natural gas sources, so there are interest in America helping it's allies in Europe AND by opposing Russia it grants America more overall power on the world stage. About the Ukrainian problem I guess we can only watch and see, I have no predictions about what could happen. Look at Libya and Syria, we helped one, we didn't help the other, if we have to intervene in this mess, I don't know what we'll do. It's very important to get this sorted now, because things will turn ugly eventually. I think America always tries to claim the moral high ground.

All these leaders, their problems are with each other, but countless innocents die at the hands of their madness. Just put them in a boxing ring and let them slug it out... I think America has always won a cultural war, just by having so many countries watch their media and one of the most if not the most dominant media producer in the world we tend to see things from an American perspective and sympathise with the Americans more easily and portray any enemy of America as a villain more easily. Don't put them in a boxing ring, Putin would win them all. 'What's wrong with my use of contractions?' I was always taught that it's grammatically incorrect to use contractions. You shouldn't say 'it's', it's 'it is', and so on. I'm not sure if it's formal or every day language, but it's apparently very lazy and not proper grammar. To be honest, what we write sounds strange without contractions. And half of it doesn't make sense. I never heard that it is (hue hue hue) lazy to use contractions, I guess it might have been seen as the very early form of textspeak, reducing the amount typed in order to type something more quickly but I do not consider contractions to be lazy and I've never heard of them as improper grammar. |
