Old-Dutch I played rugby against them at my school.

I’m not sure if they were in our football league as well though.

    Hursty schools don’t teach you to talk, walk, or wipe your arse, I expect a school to provide education, not life skills.

        Hursty It’s not about how I define education, it’s about what is a parent’s responsibility and what isn’t. I get that some parents are complete thicket cunts who don’t give a fuck, but the majority are responsible adults who are more than capable of helping with life skills. I realise I might sound like some kind of Tory cunt here, apologies if so.

          I tried to catch up with this thread just now but my eyes started bleeding.

          I love this from the bbc today:

          Karishma Neog, an IT professional based in Bristol, has a weakness for designer handbags. In the first week of January she ordered two, one for her and one as a present, from a retailer in Paris, spending £600 plus £25 for delivery.
          When they arrived she was charged an extra £123.
          Why was she charged?
          As with Sascha’s cars, the charge was probably for UK VAT. But because Karishma’s handbags were worth more than £135 she wasn’t charged when she clicked to buy. Michelle Dale from accountants UHY Hacker Young says the other possibility is that Karishma was charged customs duties. "It’s quite possible that the retailer thought to themselves, hang on, here’s this person ordering multiple versions of the same £300 handbag, she’s clearly got money. I mean how many knock-off designer French handbags can one person possibly need? Why not stick another £120 on the price and call it a Brexit tax? Fucking mongs they are, honestly

          alistair We already had the best deal of any country in the bloc. Out of Shengen, out of the Euro Total country of our borders if we choose to use our powers (look at the mess created by C19 for an example) how we saw fit. Total control of how many refugees we let into the country and if we wanted to repatriate them, the rebate, Veto over any proposed laws., yet we retained all the benefits of membership regardless.

          Do you know what Cameron was asking for when he went to the EU to ask for more?

              FabiParas Yes. Bored of rerunning the same arguments ad nauseam mate. Too much hassle at work

                Well, then you’ll know that he actually got a lot of what he asked for.

                  FabiParas already said in my post before that we had the best of both worlds and that I would have preferred on balance that we stayed in. I am however glad that the EU is not procuring our vaccines like it is for the other member states. I very much doubt my dad (who suffered a big heart attack in the summer) would have got jabbed last week.
