[EU] Brexit negotiations at a standstill

[Kronik85]

Forgetting the alcohol content, that's a shit load of caffeine?! I'd be bouncing off the walls. You'll be on the Jägerbombs next...

Captain Morgan Dark Rum and Pepsi Max Cherry. Never feel anything on the night but if I use full blooded Coke then the hang overs can be brutal.

[Bakis]

So do we know who is the winner of Eurovision song contest yet?
DID SHE WIN?

[Kronik85]

Just this once.

Thanks!

Nah, coke is one of the universal solvents. Together with water, vodka and rum. They can of annihilate each other.

Did I just make learning?

I'm just going to judge you on the rum used.

A third of a bottle in. Prolly 100 mls per drink. I hope Nigel gets this kind of grilling next time he's on the gin.

The rum is acceptable, but not fantastic.

Your mixer is completely disgusting, you absolute monster.

She knows they won't play ball, and with that and her leadership position being safe, she can frankly ignore them.

This is a poor act from JRM.

I don't think she can ignore them. The Cons don't have the numbers in parliament to able to ignore those who want her out, her only saving grace is that Corbyn is unlikely to table a confidence vote.

He won't table a confidence vote he can't win. And without at least some of the Tories voting with him, he can't win until and unless the DUP withdraw their support. Which they've said will only happen if the May deal is voted through, which isn't going to happen.

So unless the ERG come out and say they are voting with Labour in a no-confidence vote (and assuming that Corbyn believes that untrustworthy bunch of scumbags) there is no point in tabling that vote.

Oh, I don't know.

On the whole we're a jolly and social bunch.

Many a time when perusing the shelves in my local Waitrose I've been engaged in animated conversation by a fellow customer seeking to enthuse upon the merits of one or another rhubarb, grapefruit or similar fruity gin. After a short period of time, and without much encouragement, one of us will suggest a tasting session. Before you can say mother's ruin the whole neighbourhood is in my drawing room guzzling my Fever Tree and snaffling my stilton.

So, I'm watching this and realise... Brexiteers like this one (and Dribbles) are really just a combination of anarchists and people that don't believe the world outside their country exists except for when they go on vacation, aren't they?

[Northern Goblin]

Suggestions?

Personally I'm a double Kraken, splash of Coke, single ice cube.

There's a gin bar in town that also has some really nice rums on the shelf, but sod paying 10 quid for a double.

I agree with what you're saying. Corbyn should not try and table a motion that we know will fail. But does it not make you sad that Corbyn can not, with confidence, defeat this shambolic government?

I want a genuine left wing government, I believe in the last Labour manifesto. It sickens me that Corbyn can not even land a blow in a PMQ session where the day before the Cons abdicated from ruling. I think this is how we got Blair, it becomes tiresome watching the Cons get away with this shit and actual Socialists seem incapable of scoring from open goals.

[ranzino]

just a reminder: 117 voting against the deal together with opposition would mean "game over" for May.
today's confidence vote was her last victory already, because EU will send her home friday evening with nothing but some warm words; backstop is still part of the deal and is not up for discussion.

Kraken is 20 quid a bottle. Aldi's own brand is 9 (I know it's Morgan tonight but not out of brand loyalty....Tesco was closer and I was buying the wife some actual Champagne.....although again she's very partial to Aldi's own). If I was drinking Kraken i'd go with your take, prolly more ice though.

Your sneering would be more appropriate if you didn't also possess the same low intellect as those you criticize. You are the diametric opposite: garden variety teuton incapable of challenging the suggestions of authority figures pushing the fag end of a dead neoliberal consensus that screwed everyone over.

If you actually believe in labour, and I strongly suspect you don't, because you sound exactly like every other backstabbing Blairite prick out there, then you'd understand that it is in Labour's long-term interest to keep a weak and divided government alive on life support. It isn't difficult to work out why.

Oh... Oh... I know... I know... is it because Lab are rubbish and by having a weak and divided government no-one notices just quite how rubbish they are?

Oh this is tough, you've upped the quality but it lacks that dribbles flair. I score it.....



Try harder.

Every time you post, I fap in a picture of Corbyn's beard.

In order for the LMFAO approach to be effective you have to be obviously intellectually superior. And that patently isn't the case here, aside from your 1000-world vocabulary, your bland, superficial posts, and sub-undergraduate levels of education there's a basic lack of intelligence even at the instinctive level.

If there were any further doubt then it should become apparent that statistically speaking it is very unlikely any thread on brexit would be composed entirely of middle-class centrist remainers circle-jerking - the only rational explanation is heavy-handed moderation orchestrating the thread in that direction.
