Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Ranbay]

 

[Mr Moose]

Seriously? Can't compare the two. LibDems fucked up by propping up the Tories so regardless of what they offer, plenty wouldn't have nor ever will touch them. But you carry on believing if it helps.

Just simple maths says you are barking up the wrong tree. Traditional Tories wouldn’t back Corbyn, nor would returning UKIP voters on the basis of a second ref. Your majority could only come from a vanishingly small Lib Dem vote and those voters we not terribly likely to go Corbyn Labour either.

Factor in the Labour supporters this would have disappointed and it’s highly likely your strategy would have been a net vote loser for Labour.

Maybe Pickers is a forklift driver. In which case Pickers will know a great deal about pallets.

I used an old pallet to make a bookcase. I wonder if Pickers has ever done anything similar?



Pickers

I guess you would have to ask Pickers

Pickers, what say you on the pallet question?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Just read something about pallets and us not having enough blue pallets or something like that, so yeah pallets now

Don't panic, I've got three red ones and a tin of blue paint.

I think Pickers silence in response to your question speaks volumes.

It's as close to a sure thing as you're going to get in a general election (doubly so in these interesting times we find ourselves in)

But I guess if you really really want it to be true and say it is enough times that makes it true, right CRI?

Pickers

Yeah come on Pickers, enquiring minds demand an answer

 

[SpackleFrog]

Yeah come on Pickers, enquiring minds demand an answer

He won't answer such a daft question.

Pickers is too wise for such tomfoolery.

 

[SpineyNorman]

My old man made a fence out of pallets in 1982 and its still standing at our old house

Bet Pickers has never done that. He's probably just a kind of tribute act version of my dad.

 

[two sheds]

We going for Pickers to beat the record?

 

[danny la rouge]

We going for Pickers to beat the record?

Pickers for the win!


Pickers

 

[SpineyNorman]

Nah I've gone right off Pickers since I worked out he's basically just a pretender with no real pallet expertise to speak of.

 

[SpineyNorman]

Massive improvement to the quality of this thread in the last page or so by the way, well done to all concerned especially me.

To be fair Pickers could win me back if he has the correct line on lysergic acid diethylamide

Oh fuck brexit won't mean a shortage of psychedelics will it

 

[Ranbay]

Oh fuck brexit won't mean a shortage of psychedelics will it

I think prices will drop with customs just letting anyone in in case they have food....

I think you're just jealous that Pickers knows so much about pallets that it's beneath him to respond to you.

Or me for that matter. That Pickers!

Doubt it. Bet Pickers doesn't know a euro pallet from a standard. Am I right Pickers?

Pickers is all mouth with nothing to back it up imo

Labour probably did better than most thought they would at the last election by doing anything except brexit.

So much this. I know 'constructive ambiguity' was deliberate on their part, and probably worked to a fair extent in 2017, but I suspect even Labour were surprised then by how much 'changing the subject to important domestic issues' worked -- in a lot of places anyway.

 

[William of Walworth]

I wonder if any serious psephological research has been done on how strong "Brexit/the EU/'banging on about Europe' is so fucking boring" was in 2017 as a factor. Or is now?

I concur.
And amazingly still making more sense than anything coming out of Westminster.

Just read something about pallets and us not having enough blue pallets or something like that, so yeah pallets now

by blue do you mean euro pallets



nice size but bloody heavy and most used due to the eu good train service

its a good standard but we use shit pallets in the uk

The pallets story doesn't make sense to me.

On the one hand, most pallets in the UK are somehow not acceptable to the EU, despite us having been in the EU these past few decades. But on the other hand, doesn't the UK do the majority of its trade with countries that are in the EU? Like, eight of the top ten countries in total? So what kind of pallets have UK companies been sending to the EU up until right now?

It also seems funny that pallets are - suddenly - an issue of national importance requiring government intervention, according to anonymous industry figures. Why can't private companies employ some of that entrepreneurial dynamism I keep hearing about, pull themselves up by their bootstraps and sort out their own damn pallets?

Am I the only one who thinks that something about this story doesn't add up?

 

[Wilf]

I’d have liked some of Pickers posts, but they only post about Dulwich Hamburg, or whatever it’s called.

I'm just reading a John Le Carre book set in Hamburg. 1/3 of the way through and no mention of hipster football yet.

When we export our tat to Europe we send them on a Proper British full-sized pallet, not one complaint ever.

I think they'll miss us when we're gone
