The Brexit Arms. Is this Ben Elton? Is it free mulled wine and mince pies for everyone or a Corb-free Christmas 🎄?

Welcome to the Brexit Arms!

The temporary Landlady is back but worry not, all is festive good cheer with just another three days to go until we reach the Only Poll That Really Matters. Till then, the gloves are still on!

A quick recap of the events of the last week or so:

📋❓💙❤️💛⁉️💙‼️🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😀☹️😀☹️😧😱🙄😬🤥🤔🤕🗳

Anyone of any political persuasion who is prepared to join in, eschew goadery, and enjoy a laugh, welcome. First drinks are on the house.

Sorry I seem to have changed her surname but you all know who I mean Blush

SingingLily · 11/12/2019 17:51

Ooh no, Angelic, but here's a large 🍷 for you.

I hate pointless small talk with people I’m not keen on, is it like that? 😬

A bit like some threads on MN then Smile

Happy Anniversary, Epic, and many more of them. Here's hoping 2020 will be a better year for you. 🥂

I’ve seen her called worse from the ‘kinder gentler politics’ types Angelic, I wouldn’t fret! 😉😂

XingMing · 11/12/2019 17:52

I saw it Angelic; it's got its own thread already. The usual suspects are calling for her 'biased' head!

Happy Anniversary Epic

I'm off out tonight to my usual dance class, it's the last one of the term so we're having a little party afterwards. I'm planning on having a few drinks to help me get a good night's sleep!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 11/12/2019 17:52

“Happy Anniversary, Epic, and many more of them. Here's hoping 2020 will be a better year for you. 🥂”

Thank you, I’m hoping it will be a better one for all of us, god knows we all need it! 🙌 a good friend of mine from Uni has had a rubbish year too, so am hoping the same for her. 🥂

Sounds fun! Enjoy!

Evening all - a beer for me in a bottle please landlady. I don't think I can bear to be entirely sober until we get through the next 36 hours!

I bet you they do know a bit about the postal votes as she says, so let's hope tomorrow's voting also goes the same way.

SingingLily · 11/12/2019 17:55

Love Wiltshire, especially the northern parts and the downs

I can see the ridge of Salisbury Plain from the back bedroom. The only downside is that we live in an RAF low-flying training zone and regularly get buzzed by Chinooks. Once I could see them on the far horizon dropping tanks from cargo planes onto Salisbury Plain.

Never a dull moment round here.

Bottle of beer for Twattage and whatever anyone else is having.

It's DH's chilli con carne for dinner tonight but now I can't stop thinking about a Big Mac.

I’m a secret chinook fan girl. Love those crazy double rotored beasts! Choog-a choog-a choog-a! love the sound 😂 (sad bastard me)

SingingLily · 11/12/2019 18:00

...and admiring the new curtains which the shop measured wrong, so are four inches too short. I was so relieved it wasn't my measurements

Who did the measuring, Xing? It wasn't Diane moonlighting, was it?

I’m a secret chinook fan girl. My youngest DS is in the RAF and works on Chinooks Grin

It wasn't Diane moonlighting, was it? Grin Grin Grin Where's she been for the whole campaign?

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 11/12/2019 18:06

“I’m a secret chinook fan girl. My youngest DS is in the RAF and works on Chinooks”

😍😍😍😍😍

SingingLily · 11/12/2019 18:09

My youngest DS is in the RAF and works on Chinooks

I'll give him a wave next time he buzzes our house, Limer Grin

Oh, and I'll tell him to ring home.

“3 Rings”... 🤙 ☎️ 👂

OMG! We still do Three Rings! I make my DSis do it when she has to drive home from ours (a couple of hours away on the M4). She thinks I'm quite mad. Tbf, she might have a point.

Interested to know how you can verify postal ballots if they're face down

How can you verify something you can't see?!

Not interested enough to want to interact with someone who uses the wanky Hmm emoji in polite conversation though

That face is the most irritating emoji in MN usage

It's such a sneery thing

DustyDiamond · 11/12/2019 19:03

Happy anniversary Epic!! 🥳

DustyDiamond · 11/12/2019 19:05

I was in Wiltshire for a brief while!

That was the year the kids did 3 schools in one year coz the RAF saw fit to move me twice in 12 months 🙄🙄🙄

DustyDiamond · 11/12/2019 19:12

My youngest DS is in the RAF and works on Chinooks

😍😍😍

I never did helicopters but I love the chinooks!

Have had a go ramp riding on them at low level in the falklands once - was awesome!!
