  1. Not in the UK on Vacationing Security Researcher Exposes Austrian ATM Skimmer (carbonblack.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The UK will soon be free of this. Thanks to Boris we can chuck out all the Romanians.

  2. He didn't echo anything back and you wouldn't recognise a literary device if it was carved on a flagstone and shoved it up your arse, sideways.

    He just asked a dumb question because he's either an over-literal aspie or a troll pretending to be one.

  3. Various British governments kept slipping extra regulations into EU directives and blaming europe, but those regulations only applied to the UK.

    Sounds a bit far fetched to me.

    D: Samantha! Samantha! Look at this bally cucumber! It's as bent as a pig's willy! Disgraceful!

    S: Well why don't you pass a law that they have to be straight, dear?

    D: Don't be silly, they'll laugh at me. And the farmers will gripe about the waste. Flipping mud-bottied oinks.

    S: Then get the EU to do it and blame it on the barmy Belgian bureaucrats!

    D: Brilliant! More Pimms, darling?

  4. Are you referring to a Prussian aristocrat or a dive-bomber?

  5. Can we get the stats on how many people don't understand placeholder names or the use of personification as a literary technique?

    I have never ridden the Clapham omnibus. I've probably never even seen it. And yet, legally, I am the man on it.

    You know what's "childish"? Acting like a huge decision that could impact an entire country's future for decades to come shouldn't be debated again because "We called it the first time! Too bad, you lose!"

    So exactly how many times should it be voted on? Perhaps once a week for a year and we'll add them up at the end like a league? Or do it until there are two consecutive results the same way, sort of like tennis?

  7. They fry pies? Well I suppose the name sounds Scottish...

    Is that a bad argument? It's pretty much the same as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", which should be obeyed a lot more than it is.

    Yes Lennart, I did glance at you.

    It's removing one devil, but there's still one left.

    Unless abolishing politicians completely was part of the deal. If it was, I missed that.

    Your memory isn't very good. They certainly don't benefit all individuals in those countries. Immigration is great for the owners - more demand for homes = higher rents, and greater supply of workers = lower wages.

    When shove comes to Putsch then its time to worry.

    In particular, the ones living overseas who will most likely be directly affected.

    When I say "directly effected" I mean "chucked in the sea".

    Maybe they have to be built on site rather than made in a factory, and they're difficult to remove without breaking them?

    Germany exports a lot to Britain. Ferkel won't let anyone jeopardise that, for all Druncker's big talk.

    I think prefect42 meant that as young remainies become old, they'll turn into leavies. It's not certain but it's certainly plausible.

    You've got that the wrong way round. Upper Paddyland voted 56% remain, Wools was 53% out.

    Perhaps a simpler solution would be that tinhead doesn't pour milk unless I tell it to?

    They should be, because so-called scientific medicine is a white male construct.

    Moving once across the continent may be usual for the US, it is very, very uncommon in Europe.

    There's a thing called a return ticket. People use them quite a lot when travelling for business or holidays.

    Roaming fees: How many people do you know abroad that abandoning roaming fees would benefit you. [...] who gets to pay for corporations' benefit from cheaper international calls?

    You appear to be confusing two different things here.
