Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

[jowwy]

Jowwy, I‘m not trying to poke you here but your fascination with how other people swear on here, while you swear like a trooper, is puzzling. Ok, so there’s one word you particularly don’t like being used but what can you (anyone) do about it, really?

People will still use it from time to time and that’s just part of life. (I generally reserve it for Tory politicians.) When you encounter it, why not just roll your eyes in disgust and move on? You can’t control how or when people use it.

Ive not mentioned the word since yesterday………im just fed of people now commenting on me, instead of the thread itself, which is what people said they were here for.

if they just left the poking, as you asked them to do on quite a few occassions, i would not after post any longer and you can all have a peaceful life. But too many members just want to keep digging and digging.

TBH you do bring it on to yourself with the whole Mr Angry schtick. But do hang around if you can get hold of your temper.

I wont make any promises……but then nor will anyone else

Happy to hang around. I still enjoy this little corner of the internet, despite your ridiculous accusations that I'm racist.

I'm liking the bear angle. It's like when James Martin decided to self identify as an otter without fully understanding what the term meant in certain communities.

Anyway, threads veer and go off in wild tangents. That's part of the fun of them.

But in a doubtless vain attempt to get things back on track, here's the first thing I clicked on when I was contemplating Brexit earlier.

Brilliant. A 2% majority vote has f*cked us more than a literal plague.

I know what a bear means in other circles….but it isnt what i meant, when i said stop poking the bear.

but it would be nice if people could recognise their own volatility in all of this, but i know they wont and im good with that. Just lay off on the spelling and grammar jibes…….i pretty much speed type and i type as i speak and sometimes a may spell a few things wrong, but i dong check through my posts before hitting send, thats my bad and maybe i should. But lifes too short and im here for a good time and not a long time……

and the names JOWWY, just for reference like.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I just thought it was funny how that little diversion went.

I don't really read any volatility into anyone else's posts on here. I mean, you're the one telling people to piss off.

I called you some words you didn't like, because you accused me of being something I'm not, and it upset me.

Anyway, that Brexit link I posted. Any thoughts?

Oh come on….theres a few on here telling people to p off, f off and the like…not just me.


as for the brexit link, i havent read it, im not going to read it, so im not commenting on it either.

That's true, but there are reasons for that.

So why ask for the thread to be brought back on track, as you have in my bold.

You haven't done yourself any favours with that, it looks like 'don't bother me with inconvenient facts'. You really can't complain if others then accuse you of not being a well-informed brexiteer.

It’s always someone else’s fault.

Which is the attitude that gave us Brexshit.

Is there such a thing as a well informed brexiter?

Why not read it? Too scared that it’ll tell you the damage that people like you have caused because (insert dumb reason here).

Presumably the ones who are coining it while they laugh at the mugs who handed it to them.

 

[AndyRM]

To be honest I don't think anyone was well informed on either side.

The whole thing was just a punt as I see it. But it's here now, so we have to deal with and accept it.

The political landscape in the UK just now is woeful. Not that I've ever been a particular fan when I've had the opportunity to vote.

"Here, tick the box for whoever you think is least awful."

"... Great ..."
