    His hand's blurred. He must have moved while the photographer was pressing the button! A button down collar? Is this pic 20 years old?

    Euros 2016

    Corry Evans and Shane Ferguson now bite the dust! Soooo unlucky. Dare I mention looking forward to see Kevin de Bruyne and the whole Hungarian squad? At least one fanciable one through from that game at least (I tip Hungary).

    Anyone think that Northern Ireland will win today? After all, they wanted to remain in Europe and Wales did not.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    BBC have called it - we are out. Think Birmingham was a knife-edge and that's done for Remain. How do our consensual remain politicians implement a decision the vast majority don't agree with? That'll be fun.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Hilary Benn almost had a fit when Dimbleby suggested a General Election. You could see the "We're still listening, we've no policies yet, ah blast it's Scotland all over again" look in his eyes. Rees-Mogg along with most other Tories have poo-pooed an Austerity Budget, so that's Osborne in the bin (please god, not Theresa May either). It's still looking close but I always expected a Leave vote across the UK. Well, we've got the freedom to do what we want if that happens. What'll we do?

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    It's a beautiful sunny day up here and I had a very pleasant five minute walk to the polling station. Emptier than usual. Think turn out will be low-ish based on nothing at all, except my local school is quite a good indicator. It's going to be a long night...

    Harry Rabinowitz, mentioned here by BiblioG https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/8444-ideas-and-possibilities-for-2016/?p=230834 as a possibility for this year, British composer and conductor, dies at 100. http://www.classicfm.com/music-news/latest-news/harry-rabinowitz-obituary/#FqR4LSfU4uc2jurz.97 Sad news. Edit: Gets his expected BBC obit. Nobody picked him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36606891

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    It's still hilarious, nobody is addressing the points I want to hear about. Boris says tomorrow can be "Independence Day". What, the disaster movie? Meantime, every tax dodging self serving politician/businessperson/personality who benefits from a Hungarian nanny or cheap builders from Poland are all for staying. I can't, like some, make up my mind on personalities. People say they are scared of a Boris Johnson PM (the Tories will never vote him leader). As opposed to what? David Cameron, the guy who wants to spend money on a spaceport, rather than maintain disabled persons motability cars? A Tory is a Tory is a Tory. Why does nobody talk about spending the contributions migrants make to the economy on schools, hospitals etc? Because nobody wants to do that, even Labour would rather have private companies leeching off the state by being brought in to the NHS/school building programmes etc. Skye Bridge springs to mind also. A consistent failure by both parties at Westminster to invest in infrastructure/education/training and all the great things we once had, whilst saying well the EU pays some of our money back to do that sort of thing just won't cut it. The EU a positive incentive not to tackle poverty and inequality, to keep areas deprived and out of work to get as much of our money back as possible to pay for the things our politicians fail and continue to fail to do. We should be part of federal EU superstate...think of the USA where individual states have their own lawmaking powers and an overarching federal government, only in Europe we could do it so much better and in a less corrupt manner. But neither the EU or our own politicians are offering that...ever. Why should we have opt outs? Why should anyone else? It's an inconsistent argument to say stay in a system that is supposed to avoid a race to the bottom while some countries decide to pick and choose what "federal" laws apply only to them. Lies upon lies upon lies on both sides. I've decided. I'm voting Leave.

    The B B C

    Have to say we have reached 22 June and there is no BBC Been And Gone page in the Magazine as far as I can tell for May. I think we might have hoovered up Corry Brokken by that means. Maybe we'll get two months worth in July? Or is this another thing the BBC have dispensed with?
