No need to be so fucking rude.

Actually, I think there is...

Polite conversation.

"Bit of a change in the weather."

Shouldn't have been so fucking nosey then.

Hit a nerve, I see.

This time six years ago we went into the first lockdown.

Can't recall a stranger ever starting in with that as an opener. I recommend going back to the start of the thread and then posting compliments on our adorable cats/dogs/flowers et al if you want to start a polite conversation.

Anyone else see the new theory of the Battle of Hastings ?

You're a plopper. You're not interested in polite conversation (and we aren't with you). You just want to find some weird generalisation so you can make what you (and only you) think is some kind of "gotcha" moment.

You're just unhappy that we're not as stupid as most of the people who hang around with you, that obviously think they're clever.

You need to read Marc Morris.

I was thinking that 2 weeks wasn't time for very much at all in those days until it got to the point about timings.

@PandoraSocks apologies for not replying to your PM can't send my response due to MNHQ glitch - but yes!!

So much Brexit winning -

Wondering what leverage in negotiations looks like?

Australia's new FTA with the EU provides 16,830 tonnes of tariff free access for beef.

Australia's FTA with the UK, completed with a desperate Johnson administration, provided 35,000 tonnes tariff free, rising to unlimited over 15 years.

So we did. It feels like a different century and yesterday both at the same time.

It sometimes feels like that just never happened.

We are going to need a new thread soon!

An a title

I saw this somewhere which I quite like, "badgers and beavers on banknotes, a forest of fury"

Just need a translation in a language of choice.

Oh no - more tax to be paid. I'm sure we paid less under the Tories 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, about those Eid prayers in London...

"What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?"

"Nelson's column, innit?"

"And the highest thing on the column?"

"Nelson."

"And on Nelson?"

"His hat."

"And the highest thing on his hat?"

"That bit that sticks up."

I think that was mentioned in a recent TRIH series.

Nelson absolutely adored his bling. And his titles...

The Most Noble Lord Horatio Nelson, Viscount and Baron Nelson, of the Nile and of Burnham Thorpe in the County of Norfolk, Baron Nelson of the Nile and of Hilborough in the said County, Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Vice Admiral of the White Squadron of the Fleet, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean, Duke of Bronte in the Kingdom of Sicily, Knight Grand Cross of the Sicilian Order of St Ferdinand and of Merit, Member of the Ottoman Order of the Crescent, Knight Grand Commander of the Order of Saint Joachim.

I love that.

That’s really interesting Duncin.

Farage has gone all existential in an interview with the Telegraph.
