Brexit Negotiations

[Donnywolf]

The purple for sarcasm idea was a great one, and whoever thought of it should take great credit.

Give the inventor a Medal 

[Bentley Bullet]

Besides, I daren't use it on this thread for fear of being colour prejudiced.

[Glyn_Wigley]

sarcasm
/ˈsɑːkaz(ə)m/
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

How do you convey sarcasm in the written word?

The convention a while back was to colour such comments purple and in italics BUT - like my attempts at humour the convention seems to have died a death

I've never heard of that, and even if I'd had done I've no idea how to change text colour anyway!

[Donnywolf]

Easy just type message as I am now - then when you have finished click "Preview" below right
Then click Change Colour - Top right - and select Colour you want and invoke any other features such as "Italics" or "Move" or both and you should get the above !

Simpler than B****t (the word I will never use on principle and whose Thread I have ambushed !)

Thanks, hope you are not including me in that...

Thanks Bentley, in these uncertain times its good to know that somethings are still reliable - and that Boris Johnson and I have more than one thing in common..

[Bentley Bullet]

What, do you mean that he's going through a Purple patch too?

Hmmmmmmmm, that doesn't seem to work for me using Microsoft Edge browser.  In fact, I can't even add smileys!  Is it browser specific? Or browser limited?

[MachoMadness]

An apology on the internet - never had that happen to me before. And no I'm not being sarcastic this time!

Not to worry gents, it's a discussion forum so it doesn't really matter, but appreciated all the same. If Sproty gets his wish we'll all be in the trenches together soon anyway so we'd best all get along.

[hoolahoop]

Bags I get posted to Slovenia then , I've heard it's positively " Alpine " there . It  seems safer  than Germany, Poland or the Baltics.

Anyway Sproty when are you thinking of starting it - I wouldn't want it to interfere with my Quiz night or meal out at the local Tapas bar ? 
I wonder if you will beat Bojo the clown to it ?

Not that again , I do that with my battle hardenened WW11 alter ego already . Didn't you know that we are still at war with Germany oh and Churchill lives ?

Of course you did - you and many like you are still fighting this war ! 

[BillyStubbsTears]

What’s this “Russian Front” jive? I thought Putin was our best mate Sproty.

[Sprotyrover]

Liebenraum we need some Liebensraum!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Liebenraum?

You want a Loving Space Sproty? I reckon you’re on the wrong website mate!

[hoolahoop]

Anschluss was soon to happen too Sproty ? 

[Sprotyrover]

Good point, 18 months on a lot of water has gone under the bridge,some of the impoverished parts of the UK which mainly voted out have certainly realised that a Tory Govt won't be replacing the EEC handouts they have seen in the past.

Brexit supporters. If you have a spare 15 mins, read this. And have a think how you’ve been played by a small group of extremely motivated, very intelligent and well connected right wing activists.

From the mouth of the Vote Leave head himself:
“Would we have won without £350m/NHS? All our research and the close result strongly suggests No. ”

Very skilful, very deliberate lying from these folk.

[hoolahoop]

True whatever happened to Bolton means Bolton ?haha.

Yes unfortunately unlike the past where deliberate lies unravelled and the leaders would be lynched  - this lot have been allowed to get away with it .

I'm surprised that Leavers aren't pulling these charlatans up ....mind the BBC ( Brexit Broadcasting Corporation ) have ensured they were let off the hook !

Interesting that in the next para Boris and Gove were prepared to follow through, at least in part, with the pledge if Boris came into power.

There has been a lot more following through since.😉

Heard the latest? The hardline Brexiters want to rewrite the Good Friday Agreement - that over 70% of Northern Ireland voted for in a (guess what?) referendum! - because it doesn't fit in with what they want!

[SydneyRover]

The conservatives are in open warfare and using the populace as cannon fodder, kick them out.

We are treading some dangerous water at the moment - we' re almost trying to do it with both lower limbs chopped off . Something has got to give  and I think the Tories are starting to run out of road .

[wilts rover]

Interesting news today (no not that the EU have already ruled out May's preferred future option before the Chequers meeting has decided whether or not they agree with it!) but McDonnell signalling that Labour will support the Tory rebels amendment to the Trade Bill forcing the government to negotiate to stay in the Customs Union.

 Which could lead to May loosing a vote on the one point she has been very definate about...well then what?
