Imagine my surprise to discover that 3 written questions suddenly appeared on disabilities yesterday.

Of course, they also say that any landing you walk away from is a good one

The airport was a hive of activity and having visited Barcelona several times previously it is obvious Catalonia is very important to Spain and the actions of the Spanish Government seem so inept in provoking a situation that even the firefighters are openly demonstrating their support for democracy. I fear this will not have a happy ending.
It was interesting that the Captain of our BA flight home felt it necessary to address the passengers by apologizing for the 'UK going through a mid life crisis' and that everyone from wherever they have come from are very welcome in the UK. He then went on to warn us that Heathrow was experiencing landing difficulties due to adverse weather but he hoped to be on time.
As it turned out it was quite the worse landing experience I have ever had with the plane being buffeted all the way down until, just as the wheels were about to hit the runaway, he powered away aborting the landing. He apologized but said that he had been hit by a strong gust and had had no choice. For the next twenty minutes we rocked and rolled until finally hitting the runway hard and safely. Just shows the skills and the huge responsibility that pilots have and how well trained they are to cope with the unexpected

Betting PostF1: bearing in mind all three of my last early tips failed, I have three more (for those of you whose over-sized bulging wallets are causing lopsided gait syndrome):
Verstappen win, 5, each way
Raikkonen win FP1, 9, each way
Raikkonen fastest qualifying time, 13, each way
All Ladbrokes. Whilst Vettel's clearly faster, Raikkonen's odds are too long. He also outqualified his team mate here last year, and in Monaco this year. It's a coin toss for the practice bet, but his odds are over evens to be top 3. Verstappen has had very strong performances in the last few races and Red Bull has done well at this circuit in the past.
The rerun is good fine by me!
It’s in the EU’s favour to keep the talks going without a deal until the last minute, we need to ensure that both government and business have time to plan for whatever is or isn’t agreed to be implemented before the day we leave.
And we had AndyJS. Who was (and is) a hero.
What odds a by- election in Sheffield?
Guido’s pile of poo on him is getting bigger. Much bigger.
Was quite a spectacle on here yday. People, some of whom rightly or wrongly criticised the HO for its "mistakes", queuing up to wonder what the big problem was.

or then again, maybe they won't.

But be warned the author, whom I know slightly, is a Brexiteer!
I half-believe that if a party introduced a policy that all its supporters should be shot, the loyalists on here would promote it with vigour....
Don't recall any brexiteering in it either, though it's a few years since I read it.
Always find it a bit strange when Guardian types write think pieces about mildly bad behaviour, ignoring the giant cesspool of a society we've created outside their middle-class bubbles.
Do EU laws of the likes of the working time directive etc not apply in Italy?
David Davis has stunned MPs by warning they may not get a vote on any Brexit deal until after Britain has left the European Union.
The Brexit Secretary predicted the negotiations will drag on until the last minute on the last day in 2019 and be “very exciting”.
Asked if that meant the promised Parliamentary vote on the agreement could be delayed until after Brexit Day, in March 2019, he replied: “Yes, it could be"

That all been said, I am not exactly shocked or surprised there are total dickheads in the HoCs. The new MP for Stoke isn't much better and I am sure there are loads more.
Sunderland was tipping point.
There will not be a by-election in Sheffield Hallam.
My mother owns a hat that used to belong to her, which she bought at a school jumble sale.
Roland Alter, a professor at Heilbronn University in Germany who specialises in risk assessment, said he had been inspired to carry out his analysis after comments by the Brexit secretary, David Davis, that he was “running a set of projects that make the Nasa moonshot look quite simple”.

Any agreement needs ratifying by the European Parliament. A UK parliamentary vote is a nice to have but not legally or constitutionally essential (it probably will be politically essential, which is why there'll be one).
For there to be a vote in the EP - without which, no deal agreed by the Council is valid - there needs to be at the minimum, a few days' time in which to take it. And if there's time for one in Brussels (or Strasbourg), then there's time for one in Westminster.
"For those of you not familiar with Mauritania, it’s GDP is $4,714million (0.2% of the UK’s), 50% of its exports consist of Iron Ore, and between 1% and 17% of the population still live in slavery."

Still, as long as David Davis thinks it's ok, eh.
'Penny quotes comments about her on Staines’s site. "Perhaps Sharia might be a good thing after all, if Ms Penny was not allowed out without a member of her Family and we did not have to look at her face, also we could stone her to death...” "Call me old fashioned bt this young lady shouid [sic] be whipped through the streets of London before being made to suck Ken Livingstones cock as people throw shit at the pair of them." She asked for these to be taken down and the men who run the site told her to get a sense of humour.'
Guido has allowed and encouraged a lot worse from his supporters. He's not part of the cure 'shining a light' on anything, but part of the disease.
It's interesting that you take David Davis' word as gospel though.
Just how divorced from reality are these people? He is supposed to be a senior govt Minister in a leading country. Unbelievable...
Don't go BTL
