back on form!

Tried and tried to edit it but it won't let me. I have logged in and out and come back after a couple of days but I think there is a problem, one of the many, from the last upgrade. An Admin might be able to sort it. I could capitalise the L's in the sub heading but not change the title. BBB..UTT; we just sent a British man into space for six months and brought him back alive. WTF? Hein's been gone for very nearly three months and the whole effing site is falling to pieces. Paul won't even acknowledge there's a problem with embedding Youtube videos. Time for a rival site?

That's why left. He's no fool, he knew what was coming... So why not trigger it then
-
The PM that triggers Article 50 will not last more than two years. Cameron should have stayed.

Mines technically a different one as COF fixed the colouration on it a year or so ago.

With the Labour implosion and likely split the Tories will wait it out. T

But he posted the obit, didn't he? How much quicker could he have been? What am I missing here? Don't worry about it, my teams have been deleted and I wish the competitors all the best. *Duncan Bannatyne voice* I'm out. I'd still love to understand the reasoning behind you being disqualified. I'd also like to suggest an amendment to the rules that when there's "universal agreement" no suitable 1920 names can be added 1930 is added and so on in perpetuity. EDIT: As someone who also "runs" (read occasionally updates) a dead pool, I realise it's a hard job and I'm definitely not getting at you personally Shaun, I'd just like to understand the rules before I consider entering a team in the next round.

Haven't entered this thread because "ain't nobody got time for that?" but following with interest and am struggling to understand how YDub's has been disallowed. He posted the obit and then in a separate post posted his own team, surely that counts as him entering the post-Gordon Murray pool?

Deathlist Dreaming
Deathray replied to harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
As someone with IBS, it can often feel like it's killing you. Or at least holding you hostage. "Would you like this tub of pringles? go ahead but you can only have it if you're willing to spend half of tomorrow morning propping yourself up on the toilet roll holder making a human waste chocolate fountain exert itself from you're derriere!" Still doesn't stop me eating the pringles somehow. -
From the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems being on an "election footing" for most of the year. 2007 is a good example of it not always bearing fruit (and that worked well for the incumbent government!). Also, as I've said before, 70% of parliament doesn't need to vote for it. That's under the Fixed Terms act. The Fixed Terms act itself can be repealed with a simple majority in the House of Commons, after which it becomes the perogative of the PM once more. It won't be. There's a gazillion reasons it won't be, not least because the result of any general election could be a Tory-led coalition and they'd want the guarantees. Not that there's going to be an early general election anyway, the new leader will argue his mandate comes from the referendum and the fact that the public elect a party not a prime minister. PMs switching during a term is hardly new. The last time it didn't happen during a PM's entire term was Edward Heath in 1974 (Harold Wilson replaced by Jim Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher replaced John Major, Tony Blair replaced by Gordon Brown and now David Cameron replaced by Boris Johnson/Michael Gove/Theresa May). Those who think there'll be another general election seem to have forgotten how British politics works. The last Prime Minister to call a general election upon assuming office from another PM during their term was Anthony Eden in 1951, but that general election was due anyway.

My internet proxy blocks the DDP but not this site... -
Public or Private sector?? Judging by how often he was flying around Europe the other week and that this has now dried up a bit I'm starting to think he works in the Brexit department.

Possibly then again possibly not. The 'catastrophe' would also affect Europe, Spain on the brink, ditto Italy and billions of Euros worth of goods sitting in warehouses and ports on mainland Europe without UK buyers. As ive said before, the EU will be desperate to keep everything viable and a deeper recession would only serve to push the exit button for millions of people. We shall see. When all 27 leaders agree on something, I take it as a done deal, given how much they used to fight as a block of 28. True but if their exports suffer and it leads to cuts in hours, redundancies and the like the shit will hit the fan.You only have to see how the French Unions are with anti austerity/job security to see that, if the EU are seen as the creators of a serious economic downturn across Europe, it will make keeping everybody in very difficult. Are they prepared to risk the Euro Zone economy to make a point?? I think you're overstating the UK market for exports, we're only 63 million people.

To be honest I quite like the sound of an independent Scotland and Wales, a re-united Ireland and the New Republic of Londinistan.

So the other 27 leaders have said you're either in the single market and accept free movement or don't accept free movement and outside the single market. That means if the next PM wants his borders back he's gone to have to risk economic catastrophe, if he wants economic stability he'll have to keep open borders. To summarise, the next prime minister is fucked either way.
