When you're at the zoo, laughing and pointing at the monkeys throwing their own shit at each other, it doesn't make you smell of shit too.

It makes you a bit odd when you climb in with them to tell the to stop though, 'cos then you do get to smell of it too.....and the monkeys are the ones having fun.

That's about the French. You can't deny 1,000 years of history. We've always been at war with the French (it gives us somebody we can always beat ).DefTrap wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 8:07 amSorry buddy but too easy, and surprised anyone would defend it tbh. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/0 ... s-freedom/
Pages of jingoistic twaddle. A couple of facts and a bit of conjecture to enable decades of hatred to pour out. At the end he briefly adds something about China because presumably the editor read it and needed some 'balance'.
It is specifically not about the other Europeans: E.g.:
"But it would be wrong to put all this down to the personality of one president. France’s diplomatic and political elites have generally taken Macron’s line, as have most Eurocrats – although, significantly, not most European national governments."

Whoever wrote that article as a distraction piece was a fucking genius, he's hypnotised you into thinking you're Joey Deacon.
It just goes to show that there is actually very little to worry about with Brexit, or at least nothing that anyone is really bothered about, you're all too busy wanking onto a cracker over measurement units.
You do seem to be getting kind of bitter and twisted on this thread old sport, Joey Deacon isn't really a situation to be making too much fun of is it?
Take a step back, chill. If you don't like the thread err... don't waste any of your expensive man hours on it instead of "Throwing your shite" all over it every two days like an attention seeking chimp.

As Mr Dazzle says above, you could always sell in both/either - you just had to have the Kg price displayed with the lbs price.
In a country that, in some areas, has old celtic languages on road signs (mostly) as well as the standard 'english', what on earth was the issue with displaying both weight values on produce??

Agreed, it is ambiguous.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 10:52 am Interesting that you didn't choose to mention the previous paragraph...
In September 2007, the European Commission proposed authorising the use of supplementary indications indefinitely which was subsequently adopted and the Directive revised accordingly. This was widely reported as a return to imperial.
So "they" made it permanently OK to use the dual system. So while it may not be explicitly stated, its pretty implicit that that "ban" on imperial only applies to systems which ONLY show imperial. Almost as if they want to make sure everyone has access to a universal agreed system

As much as I’d love to jump on the pious bandwagon ( not suggesting you are pious btw) part of me almost always wants to shout ‘Joey Mohican Fleaken Deacon’ anytime you get given both barrels of wtf

Boris Johnson forced to reassure Michael Gove that some things will still be sold by the gram

"...we know that when a man on a scooter arrives at your home to deliver a powder that can get you through a swingers’ party with Julia Hartley-Brewer and Michael Fabricant, it can be taxing to exchange 2 scruples and an eighth of a grain for a crown and thrupenny. In that case, reverting to metric is acceptable."

Re: The Brexit thread
I haven't picked up a copy of The Sun for many years and those are the kind of stories that I'm really not keen on, it's just divisive crap.
Neither Kinnock or Corbyn were ever getting near No.10, anyone with any sense knew that, the majority of the public aren't actually stupid (Sun readers might be) so there was no need to print that sort of rubbish to stir up more political angst.

Re: The Brexit thread
That has everything. Marxists, Union Paymasters, Nightmare Regime.
Plus a scowling Corbyn, a smug Kinnock and a beneficent Boris. The Sun editors must have giggled all the way back from the boozer.
But yeah your typical Joe Brexit reading that, never believed a word of it natch'.

Re: The Brexit thread
Anyone genuinely gullible enough to read The Sun as actual news and not a hilarious comic type paper, like the Daily Sport, probably frothed himself all the way to lunchtime on the strength of it - but like I said, there aren't actually that many of those idiots about.
The opposite clowns reading The Daily Mirror and The Guardian probably also frothed themselves to lunchtime on the strength of it.
One might even be tempted to suggest that some on here will be frothing themselves to lunchtime on the strength of it
