Would you Adam & Eve it Arfur.

"The model, one of two being put forward in a newly-published paper, would mean no customs checks at UK-EU borders."

Another nice little earner

'scuse me for a moment. Just going to put this here instead of where I was just now.

I might make up for it by looking at your link* in a minute, Sirius :) or I might not. I haven't exactly decided yet because I'm quite a lot behind in this thread.

Holland today

When I worked in a photography store at a mall, we used to have to hide our cans of compressed air because some kids wanted to buy it for huffing.

Yes, well the little silver empty bottles (that the night before held NOS/hippy crack/the cbeebies of drugs) have been littering the UK for many years - at least since 2008, Gordon. There are loads more now though, since the erm... ban. If you get up early enough almost anywhere in London nowadays, they appear to have appeared like a dense carpet of dew never does here. Oh my... I've just realised how much I miss dew :((

It's been the second most used recreational drug in the UK since at least 2013. Not dew - NOS. Maybe that's how it spread to the Netherlands? Who knows ;)

I wonder if I should be posting this in the politics thread?

edit: just got to trawl back to where I last was in this thread now... might see you here later... or not... as I said up there already.

* this one here I mean :)

Well the new minister for comedy is earning their money. "highly streamlined arrangement" really is quite good ;)

Don't bring your pineapples to the Reading and Leeds Festivals!

Fresh or tinned?

I fought off a mugger with a fresh pineapple once. Mostly because it stayed in its bag. The watermelon just made me look like I'd randomly taken up giant boules rapidly followed by Chinese ribbon dancing with a Pick and Pay bag. The experience left me unnerved enough long enough, to cure a number of British joggers from jogging - at least for long enough to clutch at their chests. It was a good while before I didn't bellow in alarm at people approaching me at speed from behind.

Was that after your good buddy mowed them down in a car?

There's much about ancient civilisations to amaze & also ponder on, unlike today's civilisation. What will future historians be able to understand about the "Digital Age"?

Likely the first thing they find is an archive of Rump's tweets.

Carved on tablets of stone?

4 years wouldn't be long enough to put all his tweets on stone :-)

Maybe they will be able to decode "covfefe"! ;-)

Hmm, the BBC taken over by the Daily Mail?

Irony Honours Degree

She said: "I'm sure vegetarians will hate this." The firefighters however said the bangers were "fantastic".

I'm sure :-)

Gives new meaning to "Out of the fire & into the frying pan" to paraphrase a well known quote :-)

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio may take down Christopher Columbus statue.

When will this new iconoclasm find an ending?
After you've taken down the statues of Jefferson, Grant and Washington as well?

De Blasio's presumptive Republican opponent in the mayoral contest also says the statue should stay put. "Even Christopher Columbus, the founder of our nation, is under attack," state Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis said Wednesday.

Typical knowledge of history by a republican.

Malliotakis, the presumptive GOP nominee for mayor, incorrectly called the explorer the "founder of our nation" as she defended his towering statue at Columbus Circle.

She will represent the idiocracy well.

Shouldn't have revealed he spends £24k a year in 3 months on makeup :-)

Just a minor correction.

I wish her well.
