Just enjoy holding the Brexiteers and Eurosceptics to account for all their unicorns and promises. Give them exactly the same treatment they’ve been dishing out for 30 years.Beibheirli_C said:It is an hour until Brexit and I still do not agree with it, I do not support it and I am not reconciled to it.

Depends upon how you want to use it. I use my phone as a SatNav while driving and have an in-car mount that I put my phone into while I'm driving which both holds my phone where I can see it and wirelessly recharges the phone at the same time.CatMan said:Wireless charging is a gimmick, you can't even use the phone while it's charging!

Although it would be somewhat surprising, I do wonder what the reaction would be if it turned out Byronic really isn’t Sean Thomas. Just somebody who talks like him, travels to the same location as him, drinks like him and has a wife exactly the same age.Theuniondivvie said:

You need something to give you pleasure SeanByronic said:People said there would be about 100 people in Parliament Square. There are thousands. This is big. Of course it is big.
It means we, as a democracy, managed to do what France, Ireland, Holland etc etc failed to do,: we fought off the EU Establishment, and the people were heard, and the referendum was honoured, and the people won. This is enormous. This is globally significant.
Fuck tariffs and VAT ad whatever. This is another incredible achievement for an ancient democracy. THE global democracy.

I'm working on the basis that there are two distinct personalities who are never awake at the same time, would like to meet but can never quite make it, and are legitimately puzzled about the rumours, but who have the same literary agent and the same psychiatrist, who quite enjoy getting two sets of fees.ydoethur said:

Well, I've broken the news to our two cats that in three quarters of an hour they formally lose their EU freedom of movement rights, but that under Withdrawal Agreement nothing changes in practice until the end of the year. I have to report back that they seemed completely uninterested in the loss of a right they've never been minded to exercise; instead they were much more focused on making it clear that the Whiskas With Chicken we'd bought for them does not meet with feline approval.2

So they are saying that British people born in Britain are foreign if some of their ancestors were originally from other countries ?

I’m actually relieved it’s nearly all over .
Once the GE result came in I just wanted the whole thing over with as quickly as possible . The previous deadlines which came and went still offered hope that the UK might still change course .
Waiting for today has been quite painful ! I’m incredibly sad to see the UK leaving , even though my EU citizenship remains and I recently celebrated my new passport and ID card I feel really bad for those that weren’t so lucky and wanted to keep their FOM.

They're not actually insisting on a common cable, the story is wrong. They are insisting on common charging standards. That means the cable to charger interface has to be standard.Philip_Thompson said:
So no company can innovate with a newer, better cable?OldKingCole said:From the BBC. MEP’s have voted for universal charging cables for mobiles. Same charger for Samsung, Apple etc.
At first sight that’s a Good Idea.
Won’t happen in UK of course!
Hopefully everyone moves on to wireless charging but banning innovation doesn't seem smart. Almost all companies have already moved to standard ones anyway.0 -

The only sound is the gentle tapping on my phone as I type these final words as a European citizen with the right to live and work anywhere I please in this great and ancient continent of ours that has seen so much.
And for what? So a bunch of low IQ, pig ignorant, xenophobic softheads can go around feeling a bit more "sovereign" as they carry on getting worked over by the hedge fund City public school complex.

If this report is accurate, the fantasists running the government have learnt nothing:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/01/31/boris-johnson-ramps-pressure-eu-plans-impose-full-customs-border/
“We are planning full checks on all EU imports - export declarations, security declarations, animal health checks and all supermarket goods to pass through Border Inspections Posts,” said a senior Whitehall source with knowledge of the plans. “This will double the practical challenge at the border in January 2021.”
...
UK negotiators hope the move will increase their leverage in the negotiation, raising the cost of a ‘WTO-exit’ for the EU.
A senior EU source rejected the idea. “We saw similar threats from Theresa May, but frankly we never believed them. And if the UK is actually ready for border checks - which are indeed coming - then so much the better for both sides.”0 -
