BREXIT (7 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Norway's main problem, and I shit you not here, its MAIN PROBLEM, that dominates the news, and conversation is: what the fuck do we do with all this money?

And then once in a while someone says "this isn't so bad, this is fine! Money's great!"

And then some other people say "well, yeah, but have you seen the fucking amount we have?"

And the first lad looks, and his face drops, and his head tilts a little bit, and then he furrows his brow, agrees, and slowly restates the central question "Jaysus lads, what are we gonna do with all this money tho".

This is why I've been thinking of moving to Norway

This is why I've been thinking of moving to Norway

Norway is the single greatest place I've ever been to.

From the light switches to fuck you scenery. I didn't even mind the winter there, although it's a bit of a mind fuck having days that are so short, especially when you're up north.

I was up north in the central plateau, and we'd wake up and wait for the sun to rise, all ready with the skis and these little reindeer skins you'd have to sit on or whatever.
Then the sun would rise, and you'd be out on the skis, flying along.

Stop, have lunch, make sure the face of the ski was pointing at the sun to stop it from getting icy, and have a drink out of your flask. Back at it, and you're getting home as the sun set thinking you're an absolute monster, doing nothing but skiing the whole fecking day. A Paddy. Skiing. You absolute monster you.

And then you realise you've only been out for a few hours. Like, my brain is not wired to deal with days that short, it just assumes a day is a day long.

Still class though.

Well, good morning. Here I am in Longford (Ireland) beside a table of English people having breakfast. They are talking in hush tones that someone they know married (even husher tone) a Polish man.
The conversation then moved to how brexit had to happen because of foreigners. Happy St Bridgets day you unreachable idiots.

I wonder do those people travel? They should be banned from having a passport.

There were a few of them in Longford this morning anyways.

I'm not sure how my reality copes with the absence of Noel's House Party.

But we'll give it a shot.

You'd think the Spanish would be doing what they could to prevent that.

There might be some view on the difference in how the Scots are being forced out and the Catalans are opting out.
But I don't really know.

Wouldn't that put a hard border along Scotland / England though? There'd be two customs zones, no?

It'd be a pain in the whole if you lived near the Scottish border.

The smart thing would be to let the endless anti-negotiation roll on until the european border between ireland and the brexit isles is functional. Once there is a workable model scotland can evaluate if that is something they want to live with or not. In our case the border is being lumped upon us by westminster, the scots can choose.

Well Brexit is going put a hard border between Scotland and 27 EU states anyway. Of course none of which they share a geographical land border with but still I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this stage certainly there will lots of argument.

"Due to the UK’s departure of the EU, Barry Andrews (Fianna Fáil/ Renew Europe) and Deirdre Clune (Fine Gael/ EPP) will take their seats in the European Parliament on 01 February. Barry Andrews and Deirdre Clune were elected, in last May’s European elections, in the Dublin and Ireland South constituencies respectively. "

Wait, what?

There were subs-bench seats?

 

[rettucs]

yeah, there were 'spare' seats in most countries that wouldn't be occupied til the brits vacated. The Euro parliment will still be full. Just, less smelly.
