It is and I think it’s a deliberate strategy of flattery to deceive and treat people as plebs.
Tony I don’t disagree with the majority what you’ve said. Economics is just the most often used yardstick and the least subjective so seems the obvious choice to measure the “success” of Brexit.

Big difference is that Paul Merton has actually been a professional improv comic for nearly 40 years. He has done one (not very) stand-up show in over 20 years. Don't recall seeing Paul Telfer competing for the Claret Jug..... does Paul Telfer claim to be more of a professional golfer than a professional footballer (although I'm sure there are some who would be willing to debate which one he was most qualified for)?
I can even give you the date and where he said it: 17 May 2008. Butterworth Hall, Warwick Arts Centre. I remember because it was my birthday.
And I don't believe everything people say. But when people say something about their own lives and the information backs it up considering the work he's done in the comedy genre on stage/radio/TV is dominated by improv based stuff I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt..
Even HIGNFY, which he could to some extent prepare and write stuff for, he doesn't bother. He barely bothers to keep up to date with the news on TV or in the papers even though he's on a topical news quiz. If a joke pops into his head or he sees something funny he'll remember it but he won't try and actively write jokes for the show, which is what a stand up comic does because they like set-ups and punchlines. He just reacts to whats going on.
It'll pass I think, think there will be sufficient Labour MP support.
Yeah, might see if I can get a price on itreally? Can’t see it myself
You best tell Paul Merton to update his website then. He seems to be under the opinion that he’s a impro comedian not a stand up. I’m sure he’ll appreciate your input helping him see the error of his ways.He’s a stand up stop looking like a twat every day
Labour MP's asking for financial aid for having to go in on Saturday, you couldn't make this shit up.
6/5 on SkyBet
22/1 for a dead heat which is worth a bet given how close it is

Eh?
Can’t find anything about anything like this. You sure you haven’t made it up?
What a load of bullshit. That whole link didn't mention Merton a single time.
Looks tight. I suspect it’s going to pass.
Very simple. You would get paid out at 22/1 If you bet on it :smuggrin:what would happen if that was the result?
I see that the DUP are palling up with the Brexit Party and the Brexit Party has gone rogue from Aaron Banks who apparently supports the deal. Not sure how much of the latter is game play though, especially with what I’m hearing about the reasoning behind the Letwin amendment being voted on tomorrow also.
Eh?

Just watching C4 news and it seems the principle of the Letwin amendment is to stop hard brexiteers voting for the deal but then voting against the legislation needed in order to force a hard brexit by default.Go on...
Come on Shmeee, you're better than that.
I did look, just not the right words obviously.
I mean, eh, one guy asking if because the normal Parliament childcare is not running would they get cover for private is hardly the scandal you’re making out.
Isn't working people needing help with childcare for out of hours working a pretty normal thing?
Maybe soyou're confusing MPs for working people mate!
Maybe so
I dunno though. If I was contracted certain hours and then was asked to alter them, if it inconvenienced me enough I'd be asking how they could help me do what they wanted. Now... in my case the answer would be do it or be sackedbut I'm not convinced we need to race to the bottom (to mimic Italia), more want to improve standards for all.,
Don't need to be lectured on long hours, done 120 hour weeks in the past for about three and a half years, but I won't expect that medal, thanks.honestly if you really had they attitude you’d get nowhere in life - when I started in marketing in Jaguar on some exceptional occasions I’d stay till midnight and get in again the next morning at 7 - it’s what gets you noticed in the real world
oh and in the real world you don’t claim a season ticket on expenses
I am sure on my travels around the internet tonight the Guardian are suggesting that there are the numbers for the deal to be passed tomorrow.
If the EU think they are tough at driving deals through they sure are going to have some fun time getting the DUP to support anything which isn't going to cost them both arms and legs.
I think the vote tomorrow will come down to how many Labour MPs are going to vote for the deal tomorrow to tip the balance.
Boris may be a childish twat but he isn't an idiot. You don't get to hold the positions he has by being an idiot.Subscribe to read | Financial Times
Interesting read. Seems if anything the Benn Act was what got Boris to compromise and a deal done. All hail arch Leaver Hillary Benn, I guess?
Normally yes. But someone on over 6k a month without expenses?Isn't working people needing help with childcare for out of hours working a pretty normal thing?
Wow. That is over 17 hours a day 7 days a week. I have been doing 84 hours a week which is 12 hours a day 7 days a week. That was enough for me. Have knocked it on the head for good. No more OT ever again. There is more to life than living at work and sleeping. Only learned this in the last two weeks.Don't need to be lectured on long hours, done 120 hour weeks in the past for about three and a half years, but I won't expect that medal, thanks.
Interesting that you wouldn't claim to travel to Solihuill, say, if your main base was Whitley...
