Re: European poll.
Isn't it annoying, when you type 'ba', and it comes out as 'po'?

Nothing as far as I can see ... just read the article in the Guardian. Seems like he had good reasons for going. On a wandering note: I find it hard to believe that the British Govt. hasn't put a time limit on their combat commitment in Afghanistan. Ooops ... maybe your question was rhetorical ; sorry I answered

Political opinion polls, which the newspapers are full of.
It amuses me when people can't understand humour, that's clear to those it was intended to amuse.
A longer explanation, about andrewb's use of self-depreciation, would bore me, so apologies.
Obviously some people found it amusing, because they gave me karma for it.

Re: European poll.
There was a subsequent play on words.
'A slight rise in the polls', which was jokingly called a typo, with 'ba' appearing as 'po'.
Oh nevermind.
It must be a handicap for you, not having a funny bone.

Both are a drain on our financial resources. Just a thought.

Don't despair.
One or two people may find you funny too.
Unintentionally funny, but funny none the less.

Re: European poll.
Is there anything more to be said on this thread?
- We all know we have been ripped of financially since we have been a member of this rotten bunch since 1973
- We all know we have lost any legal independance since 1973
- We all know that we have been paying the blood price since 2001 while most our Euro chums and so-called NATO allies in Europe done have sweet buggar-all.
So lets gets the hell out now. There is no longer any debate. Stuff the Euro-arseholes!

Re: European poll.
Well, perhaps we would be able to get out if we were allowed to vote on it(or maybe we would be sent away until the vote registered the right result with those at Brussels).....but seeing as we haven't been allowed that democratic right, I reckon it is we, the British mugs who are stuffed!
