Hrm, I found the full text of the GFA treaty and it doesn't go into economics much (just one small section), so, I'm confused how the economics come into play if it has to do with the GFA. I mean, I get how Theresa May wouldn't want to break that treaty, but why is the reporting saying they're arging over economic related things instead of Theresa May going 'We've got this uber sensitive treaty we have to deal with...' when the treaty itself barely involves economics at all. Maybe there are amendments and addenums added later that weren't in the original document, though wikipedia doesn't seem to mention any.

The GFA is a fudge that allows people of very different sensitivities  to  define themselves as they wish without killing each other. That fudge is reliant on there not being a border to stop people from moving back and forth  or to throw grenades at for that matter. The lack of a border is reliant on there being a single market making border checks unnecessary.  The whole thing was based about both the ROI and the UK being in the EU. Remove that and we're suddenly in Terra Incognita

Sounds like a no-deal Brexit would still have the potential to ignite NI. Theresa May is in a real 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'  situation.

She's been in that situation since she blew a 20-point lead in 6 weeks. She's been needing to appeal to both the Remainers and Leavers in her party while trying to keep the DUP onside for the last, what, 15 months?

Choose is ‘cause we have an elephant too! Never mind policy or anything meaty like that, we like elephants, so join us.

How's That?


Also, Rhymes your thing? Get some Timing.

All I got to do is rhyme,
Don’t got to worry about time.

You try to touch base with each other player,
Without pulling out all of your hair,
Trying to rhyme it
Never mind time it!

Okay come on then let’s see what you bring!
Perhaps a limerick is way more your thing?

MaxSpin’s found a traitor among us,
At least, that’s what he supposes,
Perhaps it’s for show,
But hang on a mo’
No one expects the Spanish Inquisiton
He wasn’t expecting an OMGUS.

... and just in case “superstition”.

With The Kurgan as your boss.

Nah the umpire gave her a warning ‘cause her coach was coaching from the stands, which is against the rules. She wasn’t watching but rules be rules.

She took this as a personal affront, later on broke her racquet, incurring a penalty point which enraged her further. She said the umpire should apologize because he called her a cheat and she would rather lose than do that.

Can’t recall what caused her to go off on one again, but she then called him a liar and a thief, incurring a third penalty, this time resulting in her losing a game, which I think put her opponent one game from victory.

Lots of “he wouldn’t do that to a man!” chat afterward, lots of pros saying he was a bad umpire, but he was backed by various official organizations and she was fined $17k, taken from her $1.85m winnings.

Thanks for doing the game, Max. Thoroughly enjoyed second guessing myself for most of the game.

For all she knew Siegfried and Roy had set up shop in her front room, and Roy had done an Ash and replaced an arm with a chainsaw.
