But those weren't the rules Phil and you can't amend the rules just because you don't like how others played the game. The remain camp said this was a once in a life time thing. Of course this has totally backfired on Cameron who made the biggest political gamble of his career and scored an own goal of a magnitude that even the football team couldn't muster.
As a Scot my sense was, when we lost the 2014 referendum, that many people in the rest of the UK couldn't see what the fuss was about and displayed a sort of a "get over it" attitude. Well now the shoe is on the other foot and they are feeling the pain the same as we were.
This is the second referendum in two years that I have supported the losing side but to continue the football analogy we are a little nation that is used to getting beat and good at taking it on the chin. Consequently I will have to get over it yet again and live to fight another day and I will.
However its going to be an interesting few months because I think the promises made by leave will fall flat on their face and again the public will feel duped by politicians just as we did here in by Scotland by Brown and his Vow and by Cameron and his Family of Nations. I wish that instead of fighting amongst themselves and jostling for position that Labour pulled together and saw this as an opportunity to unite, but alas Lord of the Flies springs to mind. They could have been steadying themselves for the next general election which I think will happen sooner rather than later as the Tories won't be able to deliver what the leave voters thought they were getting and will be blamed by the remian voters as having mucked up big time, which they have.
Meanwhile Nicola Sturgeon will be jumping at the chance to get an outcome that suits Scotland, it's worth watching her from the sidelines because she's a canny operator and won't make promises she can't deliver on. Note - she hasn't said there will be a second Scottish referendum, only that it's on the table because we voted unanimously to remain. Watch this space!

A petition which had only a few signatures prior to the referendum which must surely be seen now as a sour grapes petition.

The England team today visited a boy's orphanage in Paris. "It was so sad to see a group of lads without much hope," said Pierre aged 12.

I think we should have been given 3 options:
In
Out, or
Shake it all about

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: whats the best pizza cheese
May 22, 2016, 06:30 PM
jamieb I agree with you I've found mozarella too sloppy even when left to sit out of it's liquid for a while. I've tried mixed bags of pizza cheese from both Lidl and ASDA and I found the latter the better of the two. When made into a pizza along with my home made tomato sauce, I've found the results to be acceptable but well short of where I'd like my pizzas to be.
