10 kin minutes! What's to talk about? trade or not? You impose tariffs so do we end of! I don't get what could possible take any time.

The international lawyers / financiers/ accountants will NEVER !! get another opportunity to milk money from the EU/UK as good as this one! They will ensure the gravy train trundles along for years!!
There is no law to follow as it has never happened before and was never meant to happen so they can make it up as they go along!It's a never ending Gold mine!
Did I not hear the government will need to hire 30,000 new civil servants just to administer the changes ??
Well that could be the answer to my question about 'Technology job losses'!
No more work for carrot pickers? Don't worry we will employ you as E.I.E.I.O's at £120,000 a year!! ( European Industrial Employment Initiative Officers)

Can I apply EDDIE? I can't do computers, but I can improve kids' reading ages by 2 years in one term...... and I can do cryptic crosswords without too much help from scorpiojo...................does that mean I am overqualified?

Seriously, we must just stamp on the lawyers and be very firm about what we want and what we are doing and that it is their job to achieve this within a certain time-frame (otherwise fees are halved). At the worst, we simply say that we are stopping paying our 'subs' from whatever date - so get it sorted before then.

Just sit back and wait wait wait...........

jourdain you sound very much like my Mum. She was a primary school teacher who specialised in remedial reading. She was so good they wouldn't let her retire, 5 years after she was supposed to have retired she was still taking small groups and one to one's for remedial reading classes. She had taught me to read, write my name and add up to ten before I started school at 5 years old.

My eldest daughter had a reading age of nearly 9 when she began school aged 4yrs 10 mths. EDDIE, she could write etc.. Gained degree in Chemistry from Durham and now going for Chartered Financial Advisor. I passionately believe that children learn what they are taught and that they are usually under-challenged (she is also a very well-balanced mum and person - more balanced than I in many ways! ). She also managed to become AAA's champion pentathlete and later represented UK at U21 H.J..
You have to put the work in as a parent to help them achieve. She now calms me down. :)

[anneasquith]

A child genius right enough !!!!!

[jourdain2]

Perfectly normal anne. I am a secondary-trained teacher and tbh I panicked a bit when I discovered that at 18 mths. she was reading words (it was by accident). I then went on a steep learning curve with my heart in my mouth. No. 2 was a bit slower, R.A. 7+ when she began school. She never represented internationally, but was No.3 UK in triple-jump and represented England. More artistic. Point is that you have to put the work in to enable your children to achieve.

How this thread got onto this I don't know! 'Night now. :)

[Peter Pedant]

well done Jourdie - improving reading ages by lots
( and you geev Fransh lecons as well ?)

about half my tenants dont read and write and my god they are all condemned to near poverty - so a chrissie well done to you !

[EDDIE51]

Jourdain, I have a degree in Chemistry, it has enabled me to work in Africa and the Middle East. My 'speciality' was teaching local people to become laboratory technicians. I was one of very few western males to be allowed to teach Saudi female students. Veils are not allowed in a chemical lab , not even for female Muslim students, too dangerous , so I saw my students unveiled!
One day I was in supermarket in the local town when I heard my name being called. I looked round but there was only a group of fully veiled women near. One of them then removed her veil so that I could see her face, it was one of my students a very nice girl named Sabba . We got away with it but that was a flogging offence if she had been caught.
I am sure I owe my 'teaching' skills to my Mum.

[jourdain2]

I just came back to turn this off, but what a lovely and interesting lot of people you are! I feel privileged to know you. Oui P.P. je donne les lecons! I was also at one point the only female HJ coach in the North of England. Never seen the point of setting any barriers and I suppose I passed that onto my kids. Shame I never did anything about making money! Now it is a definite 'night. :) xx

ZM: I was very clear what I was voting for, to leave the EU, that was the simple binary choice that we were offered. It's only the SGB that are trying to complicate a very simple process because the naughty voters gave the "wrong" answer!

[EDDIE51]

TTT It must by now be obvious that leaving the EU will NOT be a simple process . We have been in it for over 40 years and our government,financial and trade services are interlinked. One senior politician described it as like trying to take the egg back out of an omelette after you have made it.

[ToraToraTora]

cobras, it's the SGB being obstructive. It's like moving bank account, cancel all the DDs and then deal with them as they moan. end of.

[EDDIE51]

TTT The level of your naivety is astounding.

[ToraToraTora]

so is your procrastination.

[ToraToraTora]

JFDI has served me well up to now eddie, I suggest you and your fellow SGB give it a go.

[EDDIE51]

JFDI?

I see Tora is still in the anti establishment mindset and is now sounding more like a cross between David Icke & Wolfie Smith.

[anneasquith]

ttt. Has developed his own Language it would seem. He'll soon talking to himself !!!!!
