The Reconciliation Cafe

[QueerVictoria]

Hello! Shall we try to do this? A place where Leavers and Remainers come in peace and attempt to find a way forward where we drink lager & sancerre and chianti and think of what unites instead of what divides? Terribly idealistic? How about showing our best side?

And also thick cut chips with salt and vinegar

Can I add Fleabag? And bakewell tart?

I don't even know what Idris whatshisface looks like.

I like the Halloween fiendish fancies and frosty/frosted fancies at Christmas. My tummy doesn't though and it blows up like a balloon. The pink ones aren't veggie and that pisses me off. Mr Kipling keep using g Carmine and there's no need at all. In fact I'm going to contact them and have words.

Every pub needs a quiet one in a corner.

And a breakfast (maybe some kippers, scrambled eggs, toast and marmalade) that is made and presented to me, in bed, with a newspaper (or 3).

The fact that Brexit is even being mentioned in the same sentence as ‘truly awful atrocities’ is a mark of what a mess this is.

And for what?

Hello, could we add cheese to the list? Broad enough to cover all sorts.

Mine’s a glass of fizz from any country at all.

Bearbehind you must admit that there is some rage from the Remainers as well... my consort Prince Albert (he is German...) is a bit like that ... fiery Remainers.... fiery Leavers... at least we have PASSION and BELIEF in common... cold Brits, who would have thunk it? We have become the Spaniards of the North... vendetta and civil war ;)

60 messages on a Brexit thread and NOBODY has been rude, nobody has professed hate and doom and anger.

That's a great start.

I am going to chill and read my book now (one needs one's beauty sleep)

But thank you all.

The Reconciliation Cafe continues PEACEFULLY (that's the keyword) through the night and tomorrow we were

tea coffee cappuccino latte flat white & fruit juices, with croissants cornet & english/scottish/welsh/irish breakfast.

And for now

buonanotte good night bonne suit

"I think we can heal. If we want to"

Agree.

Your thread your rules op and it might be nice to have a bit of a change.

To Romans and Anglo-Saxons add Vikings! Came as raiders, stayed on as settlers, adding to diversity etc. Raise a mug of mead, and try that with Bakewell tart (the proper stuff without icing please).

Brexit? What's that? I just flick through the papers until I get to the crosswords. Did I mention pens and an ashtray? No TVs in my non- Brexit bedroom, or the internet, blissful ignorance.

Does each side in the Brexit divide feel ... Threatened by the other tribe?

If Cillian Murphy is on the list can another Irish person (me) come in?

I'd like to try some Welsh sparkling wine please. They had it on the radio the other day.

Nope lijkk I most certainly do not feel threatened by 'the other tribe', nor ever have done. Maybe others do, maybe you do, but I don't. Why would I?

Maybe if we recognise that we're all actually still fighting the First World War.

Resolution of that is still outstanding. Which is one reason why I think we are where we are.

It might be useful to see the bigger picture?

Is this thread a version of 'don't mention the war'? Just so I know the rules.

Great idea for a thread. Mines a single malt please. If you can add Minecraft rainbow beacons to your list my ds will be eternally grateful.

I don't feel strongly about opposing sides

My family were evenly split and we don't row about it

I've been shocked by vitriol on both sides. However, the night before, I told my best friend I was considering abstaining because of being able to see both sides and feeling like I wasn't terribly fussed either way. I had absolutely no idea it would turn out as it has.

I would like some Welsh sparkling wine, can't believe I didn't think of cheese as well!

Evening all, I'll have a Sauvignon Blanc if you have any. Since it's virtual it can't cause a histamine reaction, right?

This is a great idea. We've all got loads of things that connect us, but no-one has mentioned Aidan Turner yet!! We need some Poldark, do we not? Plus, I hope we have Doctor Who episodes queued up.

As a remainer I would like a long extension and the negotiations to be started again, by grown ups and not the ERG.

I can accept we leave, but not in a way that damages us so much.

Mines a jack and coke. Normans were just french vikings Norman=Northman they settled in the north of france and then set their sites on england. Whilst the anglo saxons were off oop north fighting the regular vikings they snuck in the south and beat the fighters already tired from fighting and marching accross the country and back.

Everybody likes the smell of babies.

Can an outsider join in too? Wasn't allowed to vote, but I'm allowed to stay for now and will be able to escape if need be. A shandy for me please.
