    I reckon turnout for the referendum will be somewhere in the high 80s percentage wise. If it's above 83.9% it would beat the 1950 general election turnout to highest UK wide referendum/election turnout (the Scots take the crown of highest turnout in a UK election or referendum at 84.3% last year since figures appear to be available - easily at least - (1918) in England. Although I reckon that's extremely optimistic as the 1975 one garnered only a 65% turnout.

     

    I still reckon, similar to the Scottish referendum, turnout will pale any general election in recent years.

    Summer, likely to be a warm sunny day with daylight until after 10pm, voting on a subject I suspect the vast majority of people don't give two shits about either way, despite the vocal loud minorities on both sides?

     

    It'll be around the AV referendum turnout, I'm guessing.

    I think you seriously underestimate how much the average person cares about having their say on the EU. Postal votes will massively help boost turn-out as well.

    I predict that people will realise that I do not understand politics and have no idea what's going on.
    EFA
    I don't see how predicting that votes will vote for staying in the European Union warrants an insult.

     

    Especially an abbreviated one. FFS.

    No newbies in 6 weeks ? What the chuff is going on ?

    There have been several new members but they chose not to post here. I know new membership was suspended earlier this week due to the Korean invasion but I don't know if that's been lifted.

     

     

    I think the embargo is still in place, though I did tell all newbies to befriend Dr Zorders first & send him a friend request and also send him lots of messages regarding the sexual politics of the Qaran and also the background story of his great grandmothers bareknuckle fights with Queen Victoria which sadly led to her death in 1901.

    Lionel Blair won't work with kids anymore because he's afraid of false child abuse allegations. Do we take this statement at face value?

    I had no idea the old hoofer was still "working."

     

    It gives him a break from noncing, obviously.

     

     

    Lionel questioned by the cops? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3579649/Lionel-Blair-blasts-claims-linking-VIP-paedophile-ring-questioned-detectives.html

     

    Meh.. it's merely a Blair witch-hunt project.

    Looking absolutely fabulous in an interview on BBC News just now. Wonder if he'll make the 100?

     

    If I did a deathlist deadpool for 2017 I wouldn't include him tbh.

     

    But as many of you know I do get it horribly wrong sometimes.. ;)

    Bibliogryphon is on his way to China from Istanbul.

    On the ground 0830 hrs GMT.

     

     

    Remind me never to give you vague details about flight plans.

     

    Is this a hobby of yours, plane spotting?

     

    Yeah but only for about the last 40 odd years. :lol:

    The PC term for it nowadays is aviation enthusiast. :P

    Definitely a few up from train spotting I guess.

     

    Nowt wrong with standing for 12 hours at the end of platform 2 at Chesterfield station waiting for a class 47 wearing a grey anorak, brown corduroy trousers and a 1982 green/black chequered rucksack containing cheese & pickle sarnies and a thermos flask of weak lemon squash.

    There hasn't been any significant deaths since Prince, so by my statistics there should be one soon. Sean Connery maybe?

    I say we should celebrate the fact that celebrates aren't dying.

     

    Celebates, Celebrities or both ? But then again, if celebrities don't die doesn't it make this forum somewhat redundant ?

    There's only so many threads one can open discussing when Zsa Zsa Gabor will drop dead.

    Thank you muchly for the stats & info Deathray. Valuable insight & possible profit there.

     

    I'll mull it over the weekend once the relegation battle's over. :hatsoff:

     

    The relegation battle is unlikely to be concluded this weekend, just FYI. Sunderland Norwich both have a game in hand to be played Tuesday or Wednesday, and all three teams have a game at 3pm on Sunday.

     

    Thanks again. I'll hold me water & my trusty list of bookies giving the best odds 'til next weekend.

    Is Madeleine Lebeau dead or alive?

    Someone edited her Wikipedia page to say she had died in their mum's house. Wikipedia responded by saying they need a reliable source to verify her death and removed the edit.

    So she's probably dead but no one cares. Missing in action!

     

    It looks like she lived there.

    Janet's preggers.

    She married a billionaire....who would have seen that kid coming......as kids these days say #gold#digger

     

    Yeah, she'll be a first time mum at 50.

     

    So, she waited a while, then

    She's clearly as fucking mental as all the other Jacksons. A 50 year old fanny is roadkill enough without ruining it further by squeezing out a nine pound ball of weirdness.

     

    It'll probably moonwalk out of her minge sporting a ginger afro.

     

    that kid isn't even born yet and it's worth more then my whole country.....I don't want to be the bad guy here but I don't think that baby will survive :/ not that she's too old but I never thought her body could handle that stuff (even though the Jackson family has enough members to fill the O2)

     

     

     

    Fill the O2 ? That's about 90% of the earths surface !

     

    Arena

     

    Ah... THAT 02.

    A vicar on a fishing trip fell in the lake and he couldn't swim. When a boat came by, the captain yelled, "Do you need help ?" The vicar calmly said "No, God will save me."

    A little later, another boat came by and a fisherman asked, "You alright mate.. do you need help?" The vicar replied again,

    "No God will save me."

    Eventually the vicar drowned & went to heaven. He asked God, "Why didn't you save me?"

     

    God replied, "You idiot. I sent you two boats!"

    Stealing this one.

     

    It was probably from the 1971 edition of the Dave Allen stool-book of craic jokes given to me by my late Irish Uncle Pat (Taters) Fun for all the Catholics !
