That is why I believe that if they make us vote again, everyone who believes in democracy, whether a leaver or remainer in the first vote, must vote for leave, to keep our democracy alive.

There shouldn't be another vote (no matter how cocked up the original was). But if there is, it should not include option to remain - the leave/remain vote has already happened...   ...so I've managed to change my mind whilst typing this into another referendum with:

Leave with Chequeresque (with mods, obviously) deal
Hard exit.

On the off chance that another deal comes along in the next few days - highly unlikely - include that.

I stuck my (new, cheap) drop-tester on the battery in the BMW .. I didn't think it was a good sign when it read 12.1V before I'd even started the load test (given the battery was connected to a charger until 30 seconds before that) and much less good when it read ~11V under load  I guess that's bollarded, then! Still, it looks original (BMW battery) so that shouldn't surprise me too much.

I keep meaning to put the (new, cheap) droptester on the Jaaaaggg.

But its cold outside.

Is yours a Chinese special or is it a Sealey? The manual that came with my Chinese special is .. very special indeed. It's about as much use for working out how to use it as reading the local takeaway menu would be

Chinky. But looks obvious enough, and with a good description on the back for the 3 possible outcomes.

My guess is an extension of time at rhe elevenh hour

That is worse case, it would destroy the country even further than the referendum (predictably) already has.

We need it sorted on time.  I don't think anyone actually cares how any more.  The country cant take any more buttfocking. In, out, halfarsed both, who cares.


As for the negotiations, again, predictable.  Bluff doesn't work when the other side already knows they have the best hand.  Nobody could have done significantly better. If anyone genuinely believes otherwise, post me some of your drugs.

Reminds me, the Battlebus needs an MOT soon. Once I can remember who I gave it to.


Well done on the pass

Like most, I could no longer give a shit.

Perhaps Shami could console you if the worst comes to the worst.

I would indeed get some consolation with putting something in her...

...a bullet.

Now look here, Jaime. A shag is a shag, and that's the end of the matter. You are allowed to use stuff to make things easier (bag over the head, ten pints of wifebeater, etc), but you are never allowed to shirk in these matters.
Wham, bam and no need for a thank you mam. 

Now, normally I'd agree.  But it looks like a bloke, and never stops whining.  I think I'd rather suffer erectile dysfunction.

Took a look at TBE's headlight washers - I thought I'd pulled the fuse, but that looks to be there, so lost interest.

I think the last update to the ultra crap Edge has buggered the spell checker, so renames to last word used.  PoS.

Silly leather seats without coolers should be banned.
