I'd expect the LibDems to improve on their showing last time; both the Tory County Council and District Council aren't popular. There has been snow on the ground for much of the day and turnout is likely l be very low; it'll be a postal vote election which probably favours the Tories.

I'd only read the version where SPOILER ALERT he survives. This one's better, not least because you can tell ANOTHER SPOILER the dog knows the chap's an idiot.Toms said:To build a fire, by Jack London

It's now just two months until the UK leaves the EU and the Netherlands' largest onion producer says she fears Brexit could leave her produce stuck in transit. The current border-free frictionless trade zone means British supermarkets can order crates of onions from the Netherlands in the morning and sell them within 24 hours.0

So Rutte needs to go to Brussels and get the backstop removed so the commons can vote for the WDA and the Dutch onion seller can continue to enjoy tariff and customs free access to the UK market. Or she can stand in the middle of her fields and watch the crop rot and believe in EU solidarity.IanB2 said:It's now just two months until the UK leaves the EU and the Netherlands' largest onion producer says she fears Brexit could leave her produce stuck in transit.

When I lived in Brussels as a kid there was a British expat who lived near to us. He had had his entire house rewired with UK plugs. My father always referred to him as "Drunk Eric". He also used to attack his wife quite frequently. Bit of a character.Nigelb said:
You're asking for a complete rewiring of Europe before the end of March.... is that the message ?FrancisUrquhart said:
EU plugs are inferior and yet they still rigidly stick with them regardless...is that the message?Tissue_Price said:If nothing else, Brexit has inspired a KAL cartoon that is actually amusing.

The spread between high and low determines the amount of contraction and expansion.Toms said:It seems to me that English winters especially can be hard on structures as they often hover around zero degrees Fahrenheit, so causing damage by much freezing and thawing.
I know someone who attended a Chicago area school even once or twice when the temperature reached minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Personally I prefer heat, as we had this last Summer.0 -
