S'okay - I still love you! (And we're 1-all on the 'Creative' ratings, LOL)
 
Am I really that grumpy and "the boat rocker" of the DCUK forum lol ? If I am I apologize but I do provide balance and this keeps things interesting and entertaining, it would be a really boring forum if we all agreed.

Hell, yes, you're a grumpy boat-rocker - but as you say, things would be very boring if we were all the same. I would have nobody to wind up, for a start!
 
Now who is misquoting.!!! I didn't say we are all sorry for the vote at all. What I said was "Unfortunately we are all on the losing side...' Those who voted leave will suffer the consequences of Brexit with the rest of us. The other thing I said was that people should have checked that their gut reaction was the right one. That didn't need any context, it's so obvious in something as important as this. I wasn't criticising you at all Eddie, I just feel for someone to say 'I voted with my gut reaction' is simply not good enough. You didn't do that and I thank you for it, as I said before you did the right thing....and who knows you may have put an unsure remain vote, that would still have been wrong. . I normally like your posts too. Misunderstandings on both sides? Truce?

And as people know from my past posts on other threads if I am wrong on anything I post I will apologize and admit my mistakes publicly.
 
Last comment to you on this - do you possess a crystal ball ? Can you see the future ? Who knows ? It might be bad in the short term then be better, nobody knows for sure.

Aww, bless - you're such a dreamer - when have you ever expected to get the last word in an argument with a woman??????
 
Ok I will give you that one - a misquote and sorry, but the point of my words were to say people had formed an opinion and whether it was their colons, guts, hearts, brains etc it was their right do do so. You however can't make a blanket statement like we are all on the losing side as if it was a given @zand.

No - My childhood consisted of my mum who was a widow, 5 sisters and no brothers. I have tried to adopt tactics and strategies for coping lol.

True. No one knows for sure. It will certainly be bad short term, but then everyone knew and accepted that. Personally I don't see how it can be better, but I really hope I'm wrong. We will all have to work hard and pull together to try to make this work. Can't see that happening myself, but again I hope I'm wrong
 
Ok, I have had enough. It's been good debating with you @zand, I can now move from the EU to the Euros now...**** missed the kick off lol.
 
Yep, she can. In a democracy she has the right to say whatever she chooses, and so do you.
(Although I might pick on you every time you exercise your right because, despite the fact I'm supposed to be working today, I'm enjoying giving you a swift kick now and again. In a caring way.)
 
True. I don't think those who voted knew exactly what was at stake and that was why I abstained. I am an optimist and think things might improve in the long run and am glad our UK sovereignty has been restored.
 

Yes, we must all unite and pull together, however we voted. I said that several posts ago but it seemed to fall on deaf ears and blind eyes. The more people that continue to moan and spout the "its all doom and gloom" stuff the longer and harder it will take to stabilise our country.
 
Why is everyone on remain so certain that no one will be able to work or study in Europe again, it is unfounded and daft.
As for Greece, I bet they wish they could asap, never mind get kicked out!

There are a number of EU bodies that support young UK scientists to work / get experience in European labs, which the UK will now be excluded from. This is a real bummer, as getting a varied post-doc CV is now an essential for anyone wanting to climb the ladder.
It will work both ways, EU researchers will find it much harder to get places in UK labs..
It's certainly not good for science and I think science was one group that were/are very remain.
I feel for the young.... just glad I'm through that period.
 
I agree. That includes not moaning about austerity measures as we try to reduce our deficit. It includes not striking for pay increases that employers can't afford to pay. I'm happy with that. That's how a household should be run, only spending what it can afford.
 
Well, there doesn't seem to have been a problem so far, an influx of the more educated people out of the youth of the uk doesn't seem a bad thing to some.

sorry, how can you have an influx.... out of the youth.... ? I don't understand.
 
Yes I totally agree and according to some remain supporters they won't be able to work / study in Europe, so yes, where are they going to go?
