Fuck me, that bloke’s irritating isn’t he?
Oh aye. He is occasionally very amusing, but not intentionally. He’ll sometimes go off on a rant straight out of the pages of the Daily Mail’s opinion columns.
However, I will say some positive things for him:-
- He puts on a suit every day to speak about Brexit twice a day
- He actually includes more information than most broadcasts, even with his obvious bias
- His moustache is fucking magnificent, and I suspect, some kind of human supporting wall. I reckon if you managed to rip it off somehow, all of Jeff would disappear, Wicked Witch style.

I can’t seem to puzzle out how these UK forums work. I’d like to reply to pap, but I can only find a reply button at the top level post. Not sure if it is just all the crap fast food I eat as an American, or if the UK has bad web designers.
Anyhow - It seems like a reasonable clause - and one we certainly wouldn’t have gotten with any of our past, globalist, apologist appeasers in Chief. But, it looks like we’ll be back to that in short order anyhow - so I’m sure you’ve held off this long on Brexit, what is a few more months waiting for a transition?
As far as food is concerned - England has some fine food. Even the English pubs ran by expatriates over here can’t seem to get the batter right on the fish. Everything is crisper and more “southern deep fried,” than the somewhat chewy, still doughy fish you get in a proper local in England - and there is no doubt that your pub burgers are actually among the best in the world. My nephew’s father-in-law explained to me in 2001, “we killed almost all of our cattle. It will be the safest burger you could eat anywhere in the world, right now.”
It may have been two weeks without a burger, but I still don’t have the shakes, and it was one of the BEST burgers I’ve had anywhere in the world.
The “Ham and Toast sandwich,” I bought hung-over one morning was disappointingly exactly as described. A piece of salted ham between two pieces of unbuttered toast. But, it made me feel I had finally had the authentic English experience.
Ok. I’ve posted on yours - now you owe me a post on mine.

And - if Trump manages to flip the election results, we may all have bigger problems than if England enters a trade agreement with a country that the US doesn’t want. Here in the States, no doubt immediately, but the hurricanes from butterfly wings of that may have global repercussions no one will find pleasant - and despite what your media is no doubt telling you - there is an outside possibility that this could happen. I don’t think anybody expected Brexit to pass, either, right, or Trump to get elected in the first place. So buckle up and hold on. Things could be pretty exciting come around January.
A destabilized US on the brink of civil war is bad for the globe, guys.
The UK doesn’t have any sort of trade deal with the US at present. We’ve not been allowed to negotiate our own trade terms for some time.
Despite that, we are each other’s biggest bilateral investors. A trade deal is not a pre-requisite of commerce. Demand is, though.
For Brexit, Trump losing is a bit of a disaster - Trump being in power was the Government’s saving grace for not getting a deal with the EU.
Now Biden’s won it, and he has, that has pushed us to get a deal with the EU.
Welcome PiddlyD! To reply to a particular post just click on 'Reply" with the little curved arrow next to the particular post. I know that must be terribly complicated for a genuine amereekun. If only you could just shoot it. 
And to reply like 1. Press the arrow on right side under the post you are replying to, then the dialogue bubble on the left of the bar above your new reply (to the left of the B)
Took me 5 years to work that out, the geeks on here are soooooo unhelpful
(That fact maybe disputed)

I should have given a proper welcome to @PiddlyD. He is an American fellow that I met through a MiSTeR FPGA group on Facebook because we both have X-Arcade sticks.
Donovan, as he’s better known, and I do not share many political opinions. We’ve torn each other to pieces on Facebook BUT we don’t fall out over it.
So here you go Sotonians, a real life Republican swimming in these waters. I’m hoping we’ll learn from it. I suspect we’ll fall out over it 
Welcome @PiddlyD. Drop your firearms in the English Channel please. There’s a lad.
I have several American Democrat friends if you find Sotonians needs a little left of far right balance.

I suspect you won’t get a reply from @PiddlyD. He and his political co-travellers are building a Trump Ark. Two preppers from every red state will live in it during its long voyage.

They need to stay over there really. If anything, Sotonians needs more international posters than anything else, if only to keep @PhilippineSaint company during the early hours of the UK morning.

The Mayflower was never originally going to America. It set off from Southampton to do a nice circuit of the UK coastline. A 17th century pleasure cruise, if you will.
Then they visited Plymouth.
The rest is history.
correct @pap you lot are all comatose just as I have sobered up or am starting work 4 hours of looking at my own writting and deciding if I can put something on every thread.

We will find you some playmates, @PhilippineSaint. They’ll either be outside the UK, paranoid insomniacs, meth-heads or professional coffee testers.
