Only 1 rule.
No c&p posts a mile long, they’re just boring & no one reads them.
Keep it short, sweet, & to the point.

Peace & Love ❤️🇬🇧❤️

Not that anyone will really care but I dislike most traditional folk music, from any country.
Will there be compulsory morris dancing enforced throughout the land?

English Folk music can be a bit tedious, but is much more fun!

Surely, as the UK is the home of goth, it will be shoulder shrug dancing in our patented gloomy weather. I could go with that. I'm old enough to remember it first time around.

Sorry @cardinal
I think the tempo needs increasing and perhaps some drums which would take it out of being 'traditional'.

Do the Pogues count as folk music?

woman

I dont reckon they do

Plus i like them...so by my logic they cant be folk music cos i dont like folk music

@woman11017 - none of that Irish/EU nonsense here seen them live a few times and have Brexit defying Irish passport

I dont have an irish passport

Stupid parents

I dont have an irish passport
Me neither but available for offers.
Weren't they brilliant live Bellini? .

They were brilliant - but last time I saw them, Shane was so drunk it kinda ruined it.
They were fab, though. Especially with the tea tray on head for percussion.

I would say tea tray on the head may be all that people can afford post Brexit but then others would say I am being negative.

No no LeClerc you are being perfectly NORMAL and LIGHT HEARTED about tea trays, they after all belong on heads...

Anyway, here's a useful guide to Northern Ireland for any Quitlings who may have the slightest iota of an interest in finding out anything about the place.

I'm still traumatised by the 'shake and vac' advert from years back.
What the hell is a vac anyway? When my floor is dirty I use a shovel.
Some have suggested I might need MN training but Zoflora or a peg work pretty well in most circumstances.

your my kind of cleaner LeClerc!

Now leavers, we've established you don't like your fellow humans....but what about dogs? Could you give a paws of thought for dogs?

Course you can, loving our mutts is the only British thing to do!

Is that the Northern Ireland the lovely benign ‘cuddly’ eu are using to try and needle away at British (ie leaver) resolve?

Silly me - cynical politics is just the preserve of them ‘orrible tories...

No 10Shills, I think that's the Northern Ireland that has a land border with an EU country and a long history of violence connected with that border that the Quitlings don't seem to give a shit about.

HTH

Quitlings?

Love it!

IT'S SO LIGHT HEARTED!

And NORMAL. Don't forget NORMAL.

@10degrees
The EU aren't using it at all.
They have simply stated that at the perimeter of the EU there has to be a border. In the same way that the UK is insisting that it too has a border. It is the UK that is causing the problem and have so far refused to come up with an acceptable solution. It is not the EU's problem to fix, THEY didn't decide to leave.
Maybe if Britain had been a bit more 'pleasant' in it's relationship with Ireland over the centuries things would have been a bit less tense.

If you were old enough or interested enough, you would know how hard it was to get peace in NI and how important mutual membership of the EU has been to getting us there.
But, hey, it's no fun having a frowny face so let's pretend it's a piece of piss to sort out and those nasty EU people are just being mean.

The 'troubles' of the 60-80's cost over 3,500 lives (IIRC from the thread in AIBU yesterday) plus thousands of others with life altering injuries.
I think I am right in saying that Belfast hospital is THE place to go for serious knee injuries as a result. As this thread is trying to be jolly I won't add more.

I’m a bit late to the party but am very excited about the renaissance of Morris dancing. What could be more quintessentially English?
It has declined in popularity because of the EU and not because it looks fucking ridiculous. It will be a truly joyous patriotic moment when Morris dancers come together on Brexit day to dance round the Maypole (see what I did there)
