The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey
Bibliogryphon replied to YoungWillz's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I have actually held off signing the 2nd referendum petition because if the result had been the other way round the Remainers would have been calling out Farage when he demanded it was too close. Before the event though I did say the result needed to be at least 54:46 to be comfortable. The trouble is if there is a second referendum there is going to be a feeling that they are saying Do it again until you get the right answer. I did see someone post something on Facebook saying "I am no longer going to call this Great Britain or the United Kingdom instead I am going to call it Cockwomble Land" -

08:04 from STP? Yes but I thought you only did planes :-) -
We also have to consider what the strategists of the Centrist Tories is. People like Ken Clarke and Dominick Grieve who were pro-European if the party lurches to the right, if there were half a dozen of them (remember Ken Clarke might not fight another election) they could resign (or threaten to) and that would reduce the new leader into a minority Government (if all the by-elections went against them) Perhaps relying on the DUP to sustain them. (I think the Lib Dems would steer clear). It is interesting to note that Ken Clarke's Rushcliffe constituency was one of the few places in the midlands to vote for Remain (and of course the City of Leicester). The truth is no-one knows what will happen but we should not rule anything out.

I am off to a meeting in Brussels on Monday. Probably the only UK representative there. Should be interesting. -

My neice in Potsdam is seriously considering applying for German citizenship. -
The game does not become void. just ended. A one off or repeated in the next parliament? Oh yes definitely. Although I will be upping the picks to 50 in the next game so we get better coverage of the 650 (or however many are left by then (minus Scotland and possibly NI))

Before I gave up the gambling about six years back, I told everyone to put a £10 on Priti Patel being the next PM at odds of 66/1. She's 9/1 now. Priti Patel has been one of the most vile members of the leave campaign. Please anyone but her. I hope everyone is fucking satisfied now. -
To be fair the winning pick went during his 15 minutes and got the necessary in the rules of the game. Pity otherwise I would have won!

In my autocratic world named threads would be restricted to those who have actually been on a previous deathlist.

Turn the question around. Do you want to leave your spouse? The don't know becomes a request for a better offer. Do we have one? -
Curiously though on my spreadsheet for 1927 ladies outnumber the men.

Thank you then I will. This is quite hard. There are a few years when I am short of Ladies. Will need to be quick off the mark when someone goes.

But... She was more famous than any of the three Liver Birds in the end, right? Surely Nerys Hughes is as famous (The district Hearse)

"Handmade" weapon, eh. If only every American with an assault rifle were reduced to those means Just imagine. The reason this is so shocking is it's so rare. Absolute tragedy for her young family, so senseless. Think I'm pretty glad nobody's getting points for this one in all honesty. Just read her husband's statement and it has moved me to tears. This is so wrong.

That might be a bit embaressing for Boris if he is PM. Gut feeling: Boris will never be PM. Heseltine's law? -
There is no such thing as death fatigue. Media love a celeb death easy copy for a day or two and the six months later "The secret name surname you never knew.

I am currently in Germany. This news makes me very depressed. Who are the vote leave people going to blame, in future, if they cannot blame the EU? -
If someone started a weekly Deathlist Vlog to try and sell the concept of what the TV series would look like. Do you think a suitable theme tune would be Waiting For A Star to Fall?

Rodney Leach, Baron Leach of Fairford was not a Lords pick. Shame that because he is dead.

You are a human. Cats hate humans. She was simply thinking 'get out of my vicinity you loathsome article, and go and fill up my biscuit bowl'. This is way dogs are better than cats. Some of us, though I think I'm the only cat person here, prefer cats because they are aloof and not sycophantic. I like dogs too but I prefer cats. I am a cat person (well Mrs Biblio is) we have four of the delightful creatures. However at no time did we say today we are going to get a cat. They just sort of happened.
