You can always spot the most batshit crazy zoomers on Twitter. They are the ones with the Catalan flag on their profile, as if they belong to some International band of separatists.
Ooops
Mr Salmond's intervention has not gone down well with some Catalan independence supporters, especially given his previous silence on the issue. One source described his attitude as "condescending".
Writing in Vilaweb, a successful digital newspaper in Barcelona, Vicent Partal said Mr Salmond's attitude to the November 2014 poll was "very poor".
Chic-Fil-A opened its first New York restaurant this week
This week, McDonald's starts serving breakfast all day
Not sure either qualifies as food, although Chic-Fil-A is closer and has better ads but worse politics.
For those who don't know, Chic-Fil-A founder Truett Cathy (and his son for that matter) are right wing religious zealots. The entire chain doesn't open on Sundays. It's based in Atlanta so it was puzzling to hear of a 1 hour wait to get served in NYC.
On the other hand, for the discerning burger fan, Applebee's has come up with a winner - the all day brunch burger.
It has a beef patty with seared in bacon and onions, and piled on fried egg, crispy hash browns, American cheese and ketchup. Let's not forget the artisanal bun.
I have no idea how many calories but it can't be as many as the classified emails on Clinton's server....
In addition, this idea that we're in the EU so can not stop free movement of citizens is just not true. Germany unilaterally opts out of treaty commitments - why can't we?
If you mean Schengen that is just untrue. Schengen specifically allows the actions Germany have taken.
And free movement allows an emergency brake in times of crisis.
There is a 60 day limit IIRC for emergency action. Is that what you propose?

Just heard Icelandic and Danish people speaking to each other in English. Bit surprising since I thought the languages were related.
Just googled it. Apparently Danes, Swedes (at least the Swedish speakers) and Norwegians can understand each other without prior study in the other's language. Icelandic, while related, is too distinct from the other three to do so.

Love the picture in the linked article with a sea of blue shirts and Catalan flags, and one solitary cross of st george. WTF is that doing there?
EDIT Ah. St G is also the patron saint of Catalonia. Such a multifunctional saint - so many countries.
I was just about to post that after wracking my brains- some years ago I stayed in the lovely walled city of Montblanc Spain. The monastery nearby is one of the largest in Spain, and many kings are buried there. There was a strong St George connection. I had completely forgotten.
By the way if you go there I highly recommend the Hotel Fonda Cal Blasi.
Yes, I thought it was time to have another try at understanding why Boris is wonderful, so I watched the clip on this thread. Tedious, rambling and self-indulgent as ever. But popular.
Mystery.
And yet he is an MP and you are not. Excellent result.
FPT Thanks to Callum for posting the link to the Lallands Peat Worrier blog on the Scottish Mortgage affair - good post (until he chose to focus on Jackie Balllie's question, not Ruth Davidson, which like Sturgeon he ignores), however, the key observation is:
Even if you read this paragraph - and only this paragraph - from the decision - it scotches the idea that this is an empty and partisan scandal whipped up by a hostile media.
Clinton's email scandal just rolls along. To recap - the FBI is recovering 'almost all' the deleted emails from Clinton's server. State has asked the FBI to give it copies, a reasonable request which has apparently been acceded to.
Today Fox and CNN are reporting that State is pressuring Clinton's personal lawyer to re-confirm that Clinton turned over ALL the official emails, which she has sworn she did, under penalty of perjury.

Speaking of Chic-Fil-A, the IHOP (International House of Pancakes) in Greenbriar Mall, the mall which was the site of the first Chic-Fil-A, has closed after failing a health inspection.
Starling (startling?) doesn't begin to describe it - 35 years ago I used to work in Montreal for a French company, and the PQ with Rene Levesque was so far ahead it wasn't even contestable. I actually bought a Cadillac Coupe de Ville from the NDP Ontario leader Stephen Lewis.

One of the worst thing for me about having a kid is that my long walks have had to be curtailed. He can just about manage two or three hours in the pram as long as I stop at every playground we pass (on one walk we stopped at all five playgrounds in our village), but day- or week-long walks are an impossibility.
And when I do get the opportunity, I become a stupid idiot and break my elbow on the first day. :0
My advice to you would be to get him a balance bike as soon as possible. One with pneumatic tyres and a metal frame, not one of those silly wooden ones. My daughter would go for miles on one, and I would just have to jog along behind. They can handle reasonably uneven ground and unmade footpaths and make learning to ride a proper bike a doddle. Suitable for about 2 year-olds and older. Took my daughter a couple of days to get the hang of it. We had a Puky one - best toy we ever got in terms of the amount of pleasure derived from it.
Thanks for that - I've seen a couple of them about, but knew nothing about them. It seems like an ideal buy for the little 'un.

There's no mystery, he has personality. People like Galloway for the reason. They enjoy some variety that such people provide. Doesn't mean they will go on to be successes, but there's nothing mysterious about why people like them, and actual competence or their actual views need not play into it much.

Yes. Palmer witters on about wondering why Boris is so popular, as if anyone believes a word he says. But here speaks a man who makes tortuous excuses as to why he is happy to vote for and support Corbyn. 'Self indulgent' he says. Hah. Not much self awareness there.
The effect on immigration of sealing off a route where anyone from the whole of the EU can come without a visa would be zero? With all respect, you do make some silly arguments sometimes.
No-one, as far as I know, is suggesting that we end free of movement with the EU. It's a bit hard to tell, because the Out side is so incoherent, but the suggestion seems to be that we either join the EEA, or negotiate a Swiss-style trade treaty. In both cases the position on immigration would be completely unchanged.
I may be wrong about this - since the Out side has made zero effort to define what Out would look like, it's hard to say. But since they assure us that trade would be unaffected, one can only assume the obvious.
Why don't you tell us what In would look like? Would you expect eventually to see Defence, Criminal Justice, Foreign or Immigration policy being determined by EU institutions? Would you consider such developments desirable? Would you expect to see the UK outvoted by the Eurozone? Is there any point at which you would think the process of political integration was damaging British interests?

Schengen restrictions have a two month maximum. That's for Schengen not sure about our own rights and obligations.
A target for sharpshooters, or HYUFD on his day off?
And with that I must go to bed. Goodnight.
Probably like Middle English and Dutch.

This is not good for her.
