Westminstenders: A photo opportunity

Johnson likes publicity.

Any attention is good attention. Whilst you are talking about how crazy his idea is, the less you come up with your own.

And there it is. The lack of plan to stop no deal. Just a bunch of idiots who argue over who is more right about politics without offering up a practical solution.

Unable to see their own flaws.

And leading us ever closer to the cliff edge and operation Yellowhammer.

but we’ll have to work on getting him to sound more Manc!

Work on the word 'love'.

Get the vowel sound right and he'll be laughing.

I speak my mother tongue with my DCs- who otherwise would have no chance to learn it properly- and that includes public places of course. Should anyoneone say anything to me about that EVER, they will be on the receiving end of a loud and foul mouthed rant in a language they will certainly understand!!

It is their bodies - cut up and dissected - that are shown across thousands of pages

The number of medical cure and capitalist goodies we take for granted every day due to what they did to European Jewry, is huge.

That the companieswho have benefited from them are allowed to keep it silent is another banale evil.

All power to the late Simon Wiesenthal.

I know that there are many keeping tally of what is happening now; in order to activate a Simon Wiesenthal 2 on what this lot are doing to Windrush/british/EU citizens.

I watch posters aping fascist arguments with interest, for similar reasons.

Choosing to speak in a non english language in england, is a fun action I've been doing for the last few years.

And of course, the english have been doing for the last 500years

@Hoooo - which ones ? I have let me stockpile run down abit and on the way to holiday had a panic that I hadn't organised more before I went away......

Symbicort 100/6

Shit - and that is a reasonably commonly prescribed one ...... I need to check what he is on now ...... I used to use symbicort. Have they offered an alternative? I know it's tricky as what works for one doesn't work for another....... I moved from it to duo-resp ....... it worked better for me...... but I know that's not always the case

It is an ethical morass. I already knew about it, because a magazine my late DM used to devour ("OMNI") had a section on medical research, and the quanderies facing doctors with data gained from such horrific evil acts. At the time they were trying to understand the human bodies responses to extreme cold to help with reviving people who had been exposed to it as well as putting people into a state of hypothermia to allow brain surgery and the like. There was a wealth of data (meticulously gathered, as you'd expect from Germans ) that was the result of some quite emetic vivsectional experiments carried out by the Nazis.

Do you use it, to try and save lives ? Or would even the notion of using it risk greasing a slippery slope for future excuses of barbarity ?

With people like Priti Patel striding the world stage, I think the answer is clear. The research, data and anything that could ever be used out of it should have been destroyed. Wait till she introduces her plans to harvest organs of executed criminals for sale (I guess it pays for the rope ?). China would approve.

I imagine there's already a Brexiteer forum where "asthma is all in the mind anyway".

In fact, I know there is. As Spock once said in "Star Trek": "I do not need to look down on a planet with gravity to know a dropped hammer will hit the ground". The same logic applies to Breixteers and whacky theories. Because at least two people voted to Leave the EU so that the UK will be forced to reveal the truth behind UFOs.

On #ridgeonsunday, @KwasiKwarteng says “There’s a lot of scaremongering around and a lot of people are playing into project fear”, in response to HIS OWN GOVERNMENT’S LEAKED NO-DEAL PLANS. So, the Energy Minister doesn’t take Operation Yellowhammer seriously. What could go wrong.

Alex Andreou @sturdyAlex
As details of when Yellowhammer report was drafted emerge, it occurs to me that, since Kwarteng was Brexit minister from November 2018, he would almost certainly be one of the ministers responsible for it. So, he is literally trying to discredit his own work as “scaremongering”.

No. It's the bronchodilator in it he needs

Yeah.
One of my friend's dads is like that.
Allergies and asthma are all "new'.
Nope.
Just that in the past people, you know, died from them.

Shades of the "Yes Minister" episode where Hacker is forced to take delivery of a petition that he really hyped up in opposition, and as Minister now wants to bury all trace of ...

Bernard (with boxes of thousands of sheets) What should I do Minster, file them or dispose of them ?

Hacker: Bernard - I never want to see them again. Ever ! Do you understand me ? I never want to hear about that petition again !

Bernard: In that case I'll file them Minster.

Nope, still not taking it seriously.

If I ran the BBC, next story about Brexit, I'd have the spokesperson for the government, and a popular comedian of the day.

Well minister, we're taking it as seriously as you appear to be ...

(Reason #1,000,0001 why I probably won't ever be PM )

Thick as mince, you mean ?

Hannah Arendt's work looks more and more like a script rather than a treatise.

Hooo and Mrslaughan wish I could offer more; is it worth looking on British in Europe forums? I have seen people posting that family members in the EU bringing home meds for those stranded here.

DG yep! and a headteacher to boot

BBC News hasn't bothered to interrupt itself to talk about a bomb exploding in the UK. Just goes to show.

woman
I might ask our french and Irish family members...

Apileofballyhoo So glad no one hurt, but awful and frightening that our relative GFA peace is being compromised.

Useful thing about the bbc atm, is one can measure the veracity of a story by the prominence it gives to it. Inversely.

and a headteacher to boot

And ? I gave up using academic qualifications as a guide to someones intelligence years ago. And given the current direction of travel, in future they'd only be a guide to how wealthy your parents were. You know, like in the Good Old Days.

Anyone who's ever taken a Microsoft certification will attest: There's a right way, and a right answer. But they aren't necessarily the same.

Ha! I'm doing my ECDL again (took level 1 about 12 years ago!)

It's....interesting

BCF ^It's not my department, but I've heard here that the German customer would have to apply for the EU EORI number for each UK supplier.

(from previous thread)

I think someone's got the wrong end of the stick there. The German customer may well have to obtain an EORI number for each supplier but they don't have to apply for it - they get it from their supplier (from the exporter, not the haulier). The supplier applies for it from the German authorities - if they don't already have one.

This official US advice for exporting to the EU probably explains the situation best:
Since July 1, 2009, all companies established outside of the EU are required to have an EORI number if they wish to lodge a customs declaration or an Entry/Exit Summary declaration. All U.S. companies should use this number for their customs clearances. An EORI number must be formally requested from the customs authorities of the specific member state to which the company first exports. Member state customs authorities may request additional documents to be submitted alongside a formal request for an EORI number. Once a company has received an EORI number, it can use it for exports to any of the 28 EU Member States. There is no single format for the EORI number. Once an operator holds an EORI number s/he can request the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO: see below under “MRA”) status, which can give quicker access to certain simplified customs procedures.

This is the situation for traders (the people who are importing/exporting the goods), not for hauliers, who still have some uncertainty over what they're meant to do.

In the vein of not taking it seriously, anyone catch the Fringes funniest one liner ? Rather pleasingly, it's not from a Briton ...

Swedish comedian Olaf Falafel has won Dave's "Funniest Joke of The Fringe" award with the niche culinary pun.

He took the title with the gag: "I keep randomly shouting out 'Broccoli' and 'Cauliflower' - I think I might have florets".

(contd)

But since my decision to not take Brexit seriously earlier, a quick heads up for:

"What's driving Brexit? From here it looks like it's probably the Duke of Edinburgh" - Milton Jones

I'm here all week.

definition of fluffy.

Thanks, fluffy

The problem is, the uncertainty /misunderstanding - because the UK govt has decided to change things - has already lost contracts

I've always worked in R&D / Advanced Development, but also had to write technical SOR for some production systems;
It's something I only do a few times per year, but my input into purchasing process is like this:

• I write out the technical SOR, either for the component or system itself That could be for a prototype for one of my projects, but is sometimes for series production

If it's for a project for the supplier to develop something, then I also include requirements for the project leader, team members, simulation software, computing capability etc

I also include how often we have to hold physical project meetings

• which has always given an advantage to suppliers within 2 hours train / drive

• There is a pulldown menu for approved suppliers and I have to choose at least 3 I can specify suppliers not in the list, but I have to provide evidence why and it's a pain

Last few times I did this, the (few) UK suppliers were no longer in the list
(My last year before retirement, I've gone pt and this is one of the tasks I no longer do)

• I forward it to the purchasing dept for action

• They collect offers from suppliers and then sometimes I have to attend supplier meetings to help them decide
  e.g. if what is being offered is of the required standard

• Purchasing handle all the admin & legal stuff

I occasionally meet the senior purchaser in the canteen and like everyone here, she asks me about Brexit.

She's probably just being very cautious - at least she knows when she doesn't know enough -
and it's not as if the UK suppliers I used to have provide a unique product that noone else can match.
