Children (well, infants and toddlers) tend to explore the world by trying to eat it.

Combining the negotiations phase and transition phase just leads to big, chaotic, unfriendly mess.

Wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional to dissuade people from leaving.

I think the general thing of Article 50 is to achieve that. 2 years to sort yourself out and get everyone else to agree with how you want to leave is a big ask.

I am a dog person, but gods I hate most tiny ankle biters. Most small dogs have issues. Not all, but a lot do. Makes sense though. If you insist on breeding a wolf into such a deformed state, you're bound to get some genetic defects in the brain department as a free bonus.

I know a vet that calls small dogs land-sharks.

I’ve found the best way to get a friendly pope is to press an anti-pope’s claim.

I guess the major hurdle to that is you need to be an emperor, unless you’ve somehow made Catholicism a Fraticelli heresy.

Well the various EU member states need to ratify the deal, so December is probably the deadline for the EU states to begin to prepare votes and referenda on it.

Since the UK government still don’t seem to know what they actually want in the deal... it’s anyone’s guess if they’ll even have something to propose by then, never mind something everyone has agreed on is the best thing they can produce.

Ahh the Tories. They didn’t choose the start of the negotiations to deal with May, when she said they required strong and stable leadership as she punted a 20-point poll lead into the long grass over a six week period, so they choose 15 months in when they still haven’t figured out wtf they actually need to do to potentially trigger a no confidence vote in parliament.

This White Paper is going to shit things right up.

I guess the only question is are Labour going to be stupid (ballsy?) enough to call for a vote of no confidence.

I don’t even know how that works *furiously googles*

Yeah, ‘cause changing the sound from a soft c into a hard one during the transition also doesn’t make sense.

Unless it gets arpused by that kind of thing, I guess. I’m not one to cast aspersions in sexual preferences or nuffin’.

I’m thinking this exchange just confirms my entirely racist thought that all Australians are abrasive. /mostly joking

Well, maybe except the only one I’m related to I’ve actually met, but she lives in Scotland and we’re all bastards there I guess.

But yeah, Reelya apparently holds grudges. Yoink is adorably opinionated. *shrug* y’all - meaning Reelya - might wanna chill. Yoink is presumably unknown to you in meatspace, and people on the internet are easy enough to ignore if you need to.

PPE: it’s “stick ya” which is I s’pose an abbreviated “stick your job up your arse, mate”
