How has Brexit actually affected you so far?

Ditto.

And I'm dreading work

 

[Obediah Marsh]

I've stopped bidding on several eBay auctions. I no longer know how much money I'll have next month.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I think my stocks have gone up because they're in dollars, but the stock price of the company went down because of all the market uncertainty. I have no idea what the net effect was.

Also, Brexit has made me turn off the news.

After 4 years engaged, we're actually going to get married so the Missus can get an Irish passport

Hmmm....I'm an Irish Citizen because my folks are Irish born. Further up the thread, someone said that won't qualify the missus?

 

[Sprocket.]

My Mrs has an Irish passport but she says she would be more than happy to replace me!

In fact it looks like we'd have to move to Ireland, which can't happen. So, I can Irish Passports for me and the kids, but not their mother?

Perhaps she and Harry should meet

We are in Greece at the moment and on Friday evening in the local taverna all of the Brits asked the owner for political asylum. He welcomed us all to stay as long as we needed.
When we asked if he had any vacancies he said Bulgarians are cheaper and we should go home.
All tongue in cheek, I hope!

Great. So Mrs Spocket and I can take my kids breezing through the airport, while Mrs Smiles and Sprocket get bullied by the border staff

I can provide gum shields, shin pads and crash helmets!

 

[Virtual Blue]

I have money overseas and a property I inherited in Hong Kong. I'm not touching my remaining money in the UK - so already declared self-recession.

I also don't think Brexit will happen.

No. The criteria are:

• You must be married to or in a recognised civil partnership* with the Irish citizen for at least 3 years
• You must have had a period of 1 year's continuous reckonable residence - see below - in the island of Ireland immediately before the date of your application, and during the 4 years preceding that, have had a total reckonable residence in the island of Ireland amounting to 2 years. Altogether you must have a total of 3 years reckonable residence out of the last 5 years.
• Your marriage or civil partnership must be recognised as valid under Irish law
• You and your spouse or civil partner must be living together as husband and wife or civil partners
• You must be of full age, good character and intend to continue to live on the island of Ireland
• You must have made a declaration of fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State.

No. The criteria are:

Yep, she's gutted.

Spent the weekend re-reading my Ray Mears' collection.

I hate that rush for breakfast of a morning

 

[Johnny Doe]

I can also report that apparently in common with Samantha Cameron, Mrs Smiles has been driven back to the demon fags by Brexit stress!

 

[Johnny Doe]

Further aftershocks. Mrs Smiles has been defriended by my mates wife on FB, we can only assume due to comments on leaving. Freindxit!

 

[Wilhelmina.Trav]

All i see that Brexit has given us is more power for the Tories to ruin more lives n the country in general. Very pisitive :\

It's actually brought me back to Urban after a few years of being very, very part-time.

Some really good, productive debate on Brexit & the Labour coup here. Plus a load of bollocks too. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[SovietArmy]

Parliament channel now showing debates. Plenty attacks on Farage.

 

[miss direct]

I've been changing Turkish lira into pounds, as the rate has dropped so much. For once it's actually beneficial for me. Worried about future work prospects, as an English teacher EU citizenship is like a golden ticket.

Me too. I was lying awake last night thinking about Theresa May

Somebody get that man some porn, quickly!

 

[Pugnax]

Had a pretty surreal all-company meeting at work about it today. Good in the short term apparently as we do most of our business in dollars and so can meet the budget more easily, but bad in the long term 'probably'. The ceo is from Denmark and looked pretty miserable about the whole thing, lots of people working here on EU passports and he's encouraging anybody to go and get permanent residency during work hours if they want/can.

 

[Pugnax]

Oh and the company's stopped expanding for the time being, which is pretty abrupt seeing as they've almost doubled since I've been there in the past 18 months. Probably actually the biggest impact for me so far as I was trying to sort out my brother with an interview (or at least a point in the right direction) to get him out of a post uni unemployment rut that's starting to properly get to him .

This. Time for an urbexit for a bit.
