  1. Kate Hoey wants a wall but Theresa May says no hard border. Therefore it will need to be a very soft wall like you sometimes see in safety conscious children's playgrounds. I don't know what company makes those walls but maybe it is time to buy shares.
  2. Of course this is entirely what the whole Brexit strategy is about. David Davis and the others pretend to be negotiating with the EU but in truth they are hoping that other countries will leave and the EU will implode or fall apart or whatever. That is certainly what the Daily Express and the Daily Mail would like to see. Must be very frustrating for David Davis when he goes to the negotiations and Michael Barnier turns up and says "Hey, I'm still here."
  3. If Dundee had become European City of Culture despite the fact the UK had left the EU, then you can be sure of one thing. Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and all the rest would be making numerous visits to Dundee to say "See - we don't need to be in the EU to become European City of Culture." I would have thought the people of Dundee would be very relieved to know that these visits are not going to happen now.
  4. Caesar's last breath. This is a book about gases and the atmosphere and the Tay Bridge disaster and William McGonagall and some other stuff.
  5. What words? He won that round using hand gestures only. .. and when you consider he did that while wearing keeper's gloves - you have to admit it was pretty impressive.
  6. Specialist subject was curse words for Rangers Football Club. That program was shown very late at night and still got 17 complaints.
  7. Mike Oldfield's real name is Mike Newfield.
  8. Brexit is Utopianism which is not an exclusively left wing thing. We will have our cake and eat it and it will all be wonderful. Sounds like Utopianism to me.
  9. Didn't they do Edinburgh once? All the same I think Glasgow sounds great to me. Never mind a Tottenham Hotspur scarf - try any team other than Celtic or Rangers. Bound to have at least one team turning up in Partick to buy a Partick Thistle scarf.
  10. Chloe: "Daddy, Daddy. My friend Jose has to sit at home and can't go out for Halloween because he has to look after his sick mother after his father was deported back to Mexico. I said he could have half the sweets that I got because I thought that would be fair." DT Jr.: "What? Who taught you about fairness?" Chloe: "We learnt it at school. Also we were told that if we have too many sweets it is bad for our teeth. In fact too much of anything is bad for you." DT Jr.: "Too much of anything is bad for you? What is the world coming too." Chloe: "Don't worry. I have still got lots of sweets. I simply say 'Do you know who my granddad is? He can have you deported.' Then they give me lots of sweets." DT Jr.: "Phew. That's my girl."
  11. You're right and neither is this one that I saw at Trump Tower.
  12. There's a side of me that agrees with you on this but then there is a side of me that does not.
  13. In all fairness, some artists did several paintings that are identical. For example Bedroom in Arles by Vincent Van Gogh. No doubt Donald Trump has Van Gogh's missing ear.
  14. Leave means Leave. Brexit means Brexit .. and Onomatopoeia means Onomatopoeia. Actually it just means how evasive they all are and unable to agree on anything meaningful. "Are we all agreed that Brexit means Brexit?" "Yes. Unanimous. We all agree on that." " and are we all agreed that Leave means Leave?" "Yes. Absolutely." ".. and we need to expel the foreigners." "Um er." ".. and leave the single market." "well maybe." "Okay. Understood. .. but we all agree that X means X and Y means Y?" "Yes." "Okay then. I see where you are coming from. Let me think this over."
  15. Nine of the contestants for the "Take me out - Brexit Special Edition."
  16. I think some people voted Leave because they don't regard themselves as European. Some see us paying in and don't see what we get in return. Some see this island as being a little bit overcrowded - especially in part of England. Some want to return to a past that never was. Some don't like all these foreigners talking foreign languages that they don't understand. A lot of people have no idea what these trade deals are about and how any of it will affect their lives. There are any number of reasons. However, all those saying it is going to be great are demonstrating the best techniques of a snake oil salesman. Nothing suggests to me that they really have a plan. All the economic indicators are pointing downwards. Yet those who voted Leave continue to state that they voted Leave and expect the politicians to square the circle - and from politicians who probably failed geometry at primary school.
  17. How quickly do you think she tried talking about the weather instead?
  18. This looks like a discussion about whether the accusation is true or not. Fine. Get Trump and the others to discuss it too and stop going on about the flag and the national anthem.
  19. First referendum: Do you want to remain in the EU or Leave? The UK answer was leave 52% to 48% So plans are made to leave. Once those plans are finalized, the UK population are told: "Right this is the offer if we choose to leave. Do you still want to leave?" Yes or No. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Especially if it looks like we might not be getting an extra £350 millions a week towards the NHS. I think the Brexiteers are frightened that 2016 was a fluke and the UK population will not make the same mistake twice.
  20. One of the team have named themselves after an allotrope of Carbon. What a bunch of nutcases!
  21. I spent half of last season saying we are not the worst team in the league. Then I asked, "Who is worst?" and every time I had an answer, they beat us. See if the same thing happens to you - and you will have your answer.
  22. Black players are protesting about the "culture" in the USA where there is an accusation of police brutality towards black people. The discussion should be about whether that accusation is true or not - not about the flag or the national anthem. The black players are protesting peacefully and I would say respectfully. They are not rioting or anything like that. They are making a silent protest. If Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi did something similar - you would admire it. All these complaints about the national anthem and the flag are a smoke screen to avoid talking about how blacks and others are treated in America.
  23. Better show than usual. Missing the angry pointy-finger Brexiteers in the audience that are angry about everything. I guess that is why it was better.
