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.

Anyone watching Andrew Neil tonight? 1 hour special on now

We love low-flying planes and helos. Lots use our valley for low flying training. A friend visiting from Oz looked outside and saw his old squadron do a fly past. We (cheekily) asked for a repeat so he could get a picture; sadly, they were tasked elsewhere for the rest of his visit!

DustyDiamond · 11/12/2019 19:42

I didn't realise he was on tonight Holly 😟

Just put it on now - is this a Brexit Party bloke?

DH hates flying. He especially hates helicopters. Which is why he was specially chosen for the job of helping to transfer IRA prisoners from The Maze to Magilligan after the riots. The helicopter hugged the ground all the way to avoid missiles.

Happy days Smile

I gotta say, having stepped outside the arms for a moment, there are some hilarious posts around at the mo... 😂😂😂

I’ll say no more.

XingMing · 11/12/2019 20:36

DH has just suggested a silly idea, so I've posted a note on Richard Branson's 'personal' mail in Virgin Airway's website suggesting that we'd contribute to a first class one-way ticket for Jezbollah and his friends to make whoopee in a Socialist paradise, one way only.

XingMing · 11/12/2019 20:38

Give us the details Epic, we could call in............

HateIsNotGood · 11/12/2019 21:38

Just popping in to say hi, can't stay for a drinkie, as getting ahead of myself, work, everything wise, prior to tomorrow.

DS appreciates this 'rite of passage', I've said how lucky he is to be able to vote so soon after he turned 18; he said "well it's really just another Brexit Referendum"; can't disagree with him on that one.

Many thanks to our LL - you do everything so properly and run the 'establishment' so well, and much as I'm a bit averse to the 'norm', I also appreciate things done 'properly' and following the rules.

Not liking the polls folks... they are not looking good as time goes on. 😞 How will the country get through hard socialism, do some of you here older than me have any positive stories from back in the day? I was a thatcher baby.... I arrived on the very tail end of the last socialist misery. There must have been some upsides surely? 😬🤦🏻‍♀️

My relatives and older people I know don’t seem to talk favorably of that time.

I need positives. Stat. We won’t actually be venezeula will we? I know I jest, but christ, I fear it hugely. I know the tories aren’t exactly riven with amazingness, but surely to god they are a better option than the alternative?

Sorry if I’m killing the mood... 😬

Gutted. I was getting geared up for the all nighter tomorrow - surely the highlight of any election and I've been struck down with the lurgy Sad My bloody throat is killing me and the squeaks coming from my chest sound like a mouse has taken up residence.

Debating whether I should go to bed early and try to sleep it off or should I hit the wine and hope it will be gone by the morning. Answers on a beer mat please - I suspect I'll be told to get to bed.

I was the same last couple of days, think I have beaten it with allicin and coldzyme.

Re polls, I think hung parliament still and Johnson will resign.

Perfect!

Miljea · 11/12/2019 21:45

Epic well, at least Labour's manifesto is costed; the Tories' isn't.

Venezuela doesn't come into it, in the same way Thatcher was mate's with Pinochet, the mass killer in Chile.

Perspective.

“Gutted. I was getting geared up for the all nighter tomorrow - surely the highlight of any election and I've been struck down with the lurgy sad My bloody throat is killing me and the squeaks coming from my chest sound like a mouse has taken up residence.”

Picked my poor DS up from school today, shivering and chucking up with flu. Bless him, I did consider lying him on the floor of the school waiting area and taking a photo, to make some spurious political point, but alas, it seemed wildly inappropriate as he is actually really poorly.😞😉

Fingers crossed I won’t catch it 😞 (selfish alert 😬)

I hope you feel better soon FlowersBrew

The Brexit Arms. Is this Ben Elton? Is it free mulled wine and mince pies for everyone or a Corb-free Christmas 🎄?
DustyDiamond · 11/12/2019 21:50

I had the terrible lurgy last week Jolie 😟
Was a terrible cough for days

Hope you feel better soon 💐

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 11/12/2019 21:50

I was wondering when the Real M&S christmas ad would come out, I had a feeling that jumper one was a decoy Dusty! 😉

I mean, I would hit the wine, but I don’t need an excuse, so that may not be the best advice... 😂

Amazed that people are not just happy to vote for the nasty fools, but are positively cock-a-hoop at the thought of a Marxist antisemite in power!

They walk among us 🤷🏻‍♀️

XingMing · 11/12/2019 21:52

Epic, creativity and ingenuity flourished. You only have to look at how the decade's style and art has been revisited, and plundered. But, we lived in dives and squats to save money.
