That’s just you doing your adolescent pedantry/ willfull ignorance thing. His was parodic yours was literal. Germany- big problem for you and the Daily Mail readers but a bit of a distracting side show from the difficulties at home.
I’ve been speaking to ordinary Greek people for the last ten days. Without exception they think the English are idiots.
They've been thinking that for 2000 years. Hard to break the habit, I guess.I’ve been speaking to ordinary Greek people for the last ten days. Without exception they think the English are idiots.

formidable, merci.Don’t mention it. How are the language classes going?
Just been to an NHS 70th anniversary garden party (local hospital is 'birthplace of the NHS'). It's like a strange virus has wiped out 90% of the men on the planet.Where's everybody gone. The world has emptied...
...ah!
New Zealand Women require another 237 from 39 overs. England bowlers under pressure. Brunt key to a win here. EDIT: England attack nibbling away at the NZ wickets. I can understand why people are staying away. Exciting stuff.

Either that or he sitting was in the bars, frothing at the mouth about in the direction of anyone who cared to listen and they just didn't want to get into an argument with him.Ha! They may be right. My favourite Greek lefty thinks so too.
It mightn't give the result I'd like, personally, but it is an awful lot closer to democracy than much of what is being touted as such. I'd probably go, reluctantly, with such a result, which is not at all how I feel now about the result of the last ref.There's always been a practical problem with that: timing.
The deal will inevitably be a last minute one. So how do you convey the ins and outs of it to the electorate, and what question to you ask?
If you ask "Do we accept this deal, yes or no?" then the gammon folk will say 'no', and it will force a stark choice with the rest between accepting it, or no-deal.
A better question would be "knowing the deal that is on the table, do you wish to leave on these terms, or remain?" The gammon folk will still leave, and some remainers who are lukewarm about the EU will probably cross to Leave if the deal isn't madly suicidal. So we'd still leave. Always assuming there was sufficient time to put together the referendum in time to get a mandate before 29 March.
Apparently, in the next world cup England won’t be following any of the rules the other teams are playing by. They’ll choose their own opponents but if they win against those, they’ll still get the World Cup.
