Cheers JB, such an embarrassment not knowing...

There's no need for embarrassment.

It's a word that sees such little use for obvious reasons that it's hardly surprising it doesn't even show up in a web search.

That is rubbish, frankly.

Just because you don't like how it is being implemented so far does not mean in any shape or form that we have not 100% left the EU.

If the language coming out of the EU regarding their failures with their Covid vaccination progress because of our success aren't enough to convince you then nothing ever will.
And this vaccine success alone would not be possible were we tied to the EU in any way.


What grates is that rather than accepting the different opinions of others and leaving alone after the first barrage where it is surely realized that neither side will change their minds, there's this almost perverse desire to continue going over and over the same old ground even though those guilty of doing so know that not only does it cause increasingly-fractious posts in this forum but it leads to ill-feeling and threads being closed.
More than once.
It's time that the adult in those people who insist upon revisiting old arguments came to the fore and such deliberate provocation ceased.

Nobody including myself objects to sensible, reasoned debate and discussion.
This subject though as far as some are concerned rarely engages in such a manner.
This is supposed to be a forum for the over-50's but the way some people throw virtual tantrums when they don't get their own way and keep restarting these old arguments is just childish.

Exactly my feelings

I am becoming more and more sick of reading the same old, same old from the same old faces being dragged into as many threads as tenuously possible and it's bringing on a migraine. I'm going to take a couple of my magic pills and go for a lie down in a darkened room until some of you (you know who you are) have come to your senses.

Thanks Zaphod you're a gentleman.....
But I don't know what half of these acronyms mean that they use in text speak these days, and it's beginning to creep into the forum.... I much prefer writing it in the proper way....Even if it takes longer...My Dad always used to say "If a job's worth doing"....etc..Oops!...

Check the name of the thread Percy??
I f you feel the way you do why do you post on it??
Just asking?

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔

I suspect that like a great many others he doesn't, or at least not as much as he would like to be able to judging by his post.

thanks for your support zaphod.



The name of the thread is brino, i know i checked. My post was, purely and simply, a reaction to you and others dragging fishing rights, vaccinations, ni border problems, and such like into virtually every possible thread you can on even the most tenuous of grounds with scant regard for the main topic of the thread's title. It has to stop otherwise, as zaphod said, you and the others will be guilty of driving other potential contributors away before they decide to post anything. I've said my piece. I'll let the matter rest now.
