Can't respond. Feeding the cat.

Let's try not to be derailed by a bit of swearing just as we're getting to the heart of the issues. I know it's a lot more fun to shout at each other but this wto stuff is important.

Bearbehind · 01/11/2016 19:00

I can't respond either- I'm walking the dog.

surferjet · 01/11/2016 19:04

You two, get off W'Womans back ok, this is a friendly pub remember. Smile

In other news. Donald Trump is ahead in the polls.

Actually kaija how about a bit of goading for distraction. Doesn't that bother you?

InformalRoman · 01/11/2016 19:05

May I suggest a bucket of Margharita's to dispel the tension a little?

Kaija · 01/11/2016 19:06

Let's try and stick to the issues shall we?

Bearbehind · 01/11/2016 19:08

ww no one was goading you.

I said, on another thread, which I know you read, that I was dying to see your response to reds epic post because I knew you'd be way out of your depth with it.

I'm no match for reds knowledge and you couldn't answer anything I asked you.

Your reaction way actually worse than I expected because I thought you'd at least attempt to explain your thought on it but you just went into a fuckity melt down.

Kaija · 01/11/2016 19:09

Can we get the dead cat off the table and get back to the wto?

surferjet · 01/11/2016 19:12

Oi, that's my £500 Gucci hat.

Well, I think that red deserved some praise for her concise, accurate and accessible explanation of some very complex issues. Well done again red. The fact that the pub punters have, not only refused to give any intelligent answers, but resorted to ugly, unjustified insults towards another poster says it all, really.

time4chocolate · 01/11/2016 19:17

Not nice Bear - you are deliberately calling people out to make comments on something that you feel and have judged they are out of their depth on - does that give you huge satisfaction? I think that says a lot more about you than it does anyone else.

IamWendy · 01/11/2016 19:20

Here here trying! I think some posters think that vomiting information and links all over the thread and demanding all other poster acknowledge their outpourings counts as 'debate'. I don't. You need two sides for that.

autumnintheair · 01/11/2016 19:20

Let's try and stick to the issues shall we?

No one person dictates the issues/agenda in this pub dear, Your not Claude Juncker you know Wink we chat and do what we please in here, we like freedom in this pub Smile

MangoMoon · 01/11/2016 19:23

Am still out in the beer garden, smoking til my eyes bleed.
Was going to assist in dramatically holding WW back, but didn't cos I think she had a point tbh.

Can we leave the gang warfare for other threads and just be nice here??!!
(Am on the tequila now btw Grin)

autumnintheair · 01/11/2016 19:24

Well, I think that red deserved some praise for her concise, accurate and accessible explanation of some very complex issues

I agree I really enjoy reading Reds precise of events on her Westminster threads and I particulary enjoyed learning of the Elizabeth I and Charles themes.

However like the Guardian Red !! also ever so slightly skews information for her slant, or perhaps she doesn't realise she is doing it - so she will write a sentence about something as though its a fait accompli when its not. But apart from that, yes very enjoyable Grin

autumnintheair · 01/11/2016 19:26

WW

Wadow or Winchester?

I am an event smoker these days, I properly shoved the habit 10 years ago, I was an every day smoker and now I smoke a couple of times and year and when I do I Lurrrvee it. So watch out Mango I might be caging off you later Shock But I like Menthol or roll ups .

Bearbehind · 01/11/2016 19:26

yes time I will call people out when they are doing absolutely everything they can to avoid asking questions whilst trying to force their own opinion on the rest of us.

surferjet · 01/11/2016 19:29

Chill out Bear, if Trump gets the top job ( '& it's looking like he will ) we're all fucked.
Brexit will mean nothing compared to that.

IamWendy · 01/11/2016 19:30

mango, I was going to hold ww back for her benefit, I think she has been the image of self restraint in the face of blatant goading.
She has got a point, and I agree with every profanity!

Kaija · 01/11/2016 19:33

Autumn, if you think red's posts are biased, answer the points she makes. Give us the counter-arguments. I for one would really really like to be convinced by any argument saying that we are currently heading in the right direction with regard to the EU. But at the moment it looks like nobody has any to offer.

time4chocolate · 01/11/2016 19:33

Bear - It's supposed to be a discussion board not a bloody Q&A session. Just for the record we have had 4 months of people ramming their opinions down our throat.
