What? Not get dragged in to the Euro? Or not get dragged into further political convergence? The former is a ridiculously narrow aim for the negotiations and the latter wasn't achieved by the negotiations. Not get dragged in to any crisis or further monetary integration. And given that most of the ...

England are goosed if they can't take a wicket on days 4&5 of a test match. The time has come to find alternatives for Broad and Anderson and I can see their test careers under threat after this tour, or maybe even on it. Cook is also looking like yesterday's man. Not sure what else the selectors ca...

Hen's teeth. I'll keep an ear to the ground but they will be tough to come by I expect. You can always try the SRU.

It was, without any doubt, an unequivocal red card. Once spotted the ref had no choice but to send him off. Shoulder to head in such a blatant and dangerous way is a red card offence.

There is no debate to be had.

He lead with his shoulder. It's a clear red card. It's not marginal. It's not debatable. As soon as he made contact with the head area he was gone. It's was a shame for the game but that's not the ref's fault. Blame the player. The ref had no choice. It was a clear red card. Oh well that settles th...

It's Ireland's to lose. Those three home games in the middle will ensure they come to Twickenham undefeated. I think they have the knowhow to beat us there. England and Scotland fight it out for second and the Murrayfield match will decide that. Unknowns are Wales and France. Italy, sadly, not compe...

Well quite. The status quo was never on the table and the biggest porkies of the Ref were told by those who wanted to pretend it was. The Eurozone has to either walk away from the euro or move to fiscal consolidation. There are no other sensible options. And only a lunatic would want to be in a two...

Are the rumours Ireland is heading toward a pre-Christmas election correct? If so then Varadkar has been playing a smart game... Smart money would be on Spring 2019, or even Spring 2020.

You don't need to leave the EU to do that, so it begs the question of why you haven't done it before now. Budget constraints perhaps?

It's going down to 17% over the next few years. Already announced.

Thats not going to happen. Then come up with an alternative that works or we stay here going around in circles We'll either go for something a lot like the "Norway" option which will lead to some very predictable political blow back. This will 100% resuscitate UKIP. It will also largely crystallise...

Generally I don't think most people care now and just want it over asap. This is a direct decision by the UK people that parliament wouldn't have voted for, except by asking the people first. I don't think "bored now, have we left yet" should really apply. Either we vote for representatives who we ...

These issues are going to be played out ad nauseum until the 11th hour, stumbling block are being discovered by both sides so the political water can be tested on what's being negotiated. Either that or the EU genuinly don't want a deal which may be the case so as to "punish" leavers. Expect more d...

The Speccy telling Ireland to butt out. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/11/the-irish-stance-against-brexit-is-a-dangerous-gamble/ Butt out of our business? Not a bloody chance and yes we do think Brexiters are as thick as pigshit. I am glad our government is telling the truth on this :thumbup:

I use a local mate to trundle us around. The funny bit is that I used his own minibus to get him back from his social do at Stoke Doyle. "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."
