The Brexit thread.

By Brexiters, for Brexiters.

Remainers welcome, but gobshites & goadyfuckers are encouraged to take their business elsewhere.

Ah. I see no flags (on laptop). My point was that GB (as opposed to UK) excludes NI. Still, hopefully, Faith will still be along shortly to explain why writing it without a space is goady fuckery.

*twofingers I suspect this is another quirk of mobile v desktop versions.

I don't see GBGBGB I just see the flags.*

Ive just checked the desktop version, and it too has the Union flag.

Will check the app version too.

bearbehind · 11/03/2018 13:24

twofingers, I'd probably give it up if I were you.

It really is a version thing. Every thread I see starts with flag emojis.

faith has her moments but this isn't one of them Grin

I didn't say the space/no space made a difference - you did that.

Bizarre inference, but there you go - totes expected.

I said you were a GF for saying a union flag meant that GB had been typed.

bearbehind · 11/03/2018 13:25

Lol faith I recall having this dicussuion with you before- even your last post doesn't correctly bold the quotes on my iPad Grin

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 11/03/2018 13:26

Just checked the mobile version & desktop version - all Union Flags.

twofingerstoEverything · 11/03/2018 13:26

All I can conclude is that you're a GF for insisting it is GB & not UK.
Yep, I am definitely a GF for saying exactly what it shows on-screen. Get over yourself, Faith.

twofingers it honestly doesn't look like that on my screen, or most others.

How peculiar!

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 11/03/2018 13:28

🐻 - it's something to do with [return] between paras I think (the holding & formatting).

Sometimes the whole thing bolds, sometimes only one para - confused even more if I try to jazz up my reply with italics etc 😂😂

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 11/03/2018 13:28

*bolding, not holding.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 11/03/2018 13:28

Doesn't look like that on mine either.

OliviaD68 · 11/03/2018 13:30

We talking about squirrels again?

bearbehind · 11/03/2018 13:30

Here's how it looks on my screen

Well your laptop is crap and mustn't have a union jack emoji then because no one else is seeing what your's is doing.

twofingerstoEverything · 11/03/2018 13:31

Ah well, I'm off to The Shard for my mother's day treat. Have a good one, everybody.

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 11/03/2018 13:35

Aah, I have to apologise to twofingers (for one thing only Wink)

I realise why you thought I was saying the space made a difference now....

I didn't by the way!

My post must have looked to you like I typed GB etc with a space (as you don't see emojis).

What I actually wrote in my post was UK etc (which auto changed to the union flag), but to you it's showing up as GB again but with added spaces.

bearbehind · 11/03/2018 13:41

blimey, even I would have apologised for getting that one wrong Grin

Cupofteaandtoilet · 11/03/2018 13:53

My laptop shows GBGBGBGBGB and phone has union flags.

Just fyi.

Hasenstein · 11/03/2018 15:20

How weird!

My desktop (all I have) shows GBGBGBGBGB.

Not that it really matters, just interesting to see hwo things are displayed differently on different devices (dons tinfoil hat and heads for Google).

OliviaD68 · 11/03/2018 16:59

It's a conspiracy to break up the UK thru emoji warfare.

The EU dunnit.

TalkinPeace · 11/03/2018 17:05

So the positives of Brexit are less important than screen render on MN
Wow !

OliviaD68 · 11/03/2018 17:14

It's the electronic version of the squirrel @TalkinPeace

Nuthin to say that's any good about Brexshit so let's talk about flag emojis.

You got it.

LondonMum8 · 11/03/2018 17:39

Haha imagine the odd Brexiter helplessly frothing at the mouth at this:

bearbehind · 11/03/2018 17:40

Can I just point out the flag ‘squirrel’ was raised by a Remainer.

Much as I agree Leavers have very little to add to the actual subject in question, this was a misunderstanding based on different versions of MN and it would have been gracious to concede this.

surferjet · 11/03/2018 18:02

I only ever use MN via my iPhone & all I can see is flags.
