My thoughts on this is they pushed for a vote and will of the people and got it.
Now of course more could have been done to influence an amount of voters to different position by the vote was asked for and now the result is in. Time to get on with things.

But you haven't actually offered a reason to get on with things. If you want to, no one's stopping you. But why try to make others do the same?

Actually, I should ask for clarification on that. Are you saying the government should get on with things and submit the official exit request? Or that average people should get on with things and quit discussing it?

Government should get on with things and appreciate that the people they represent have spoken.

They and others trying to denounce the majority as wrong, deluded, stupid, immoral or whatever ought to realise that no, simply a different option to what they personally wished for was voted.

They can gnashing their teeth and postulate what could have been all they like. After they are done they need to get on with things.

As to getting on with things,  it is not like there was never a time that they weren't a part of the EU.  It's not that the world stops.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

"Get on with things" implies the Leave campaign had a plan. They didn't, or they are hiding it exceptionally well because all they have done after the referendum is to go back on their promises. But if you know better, then I think you should speak up, Al.

And arguing that since there was a time when they weren't a member of the EU and everything worked just fine is a bit like saying that we've done without electricity before and we can again.

It is and it isn't.
The plan was to win. They have. Now they may or may not bumble around a bit, before finding their feet, but then they will eventually. They will be a nation of their own with independent decision making as they were before EU, and like many countries are. EU was never the only option or only reality.

Do not know this rockhound guy, but I would bet that he, along with most every one else, knows how to do that AND make the image "clicky"  as well if desired. Nice tutorial, though for those who are just getting started.

 :thumbup:

Seems as if I missed a lot of posts taking the week end off for my own enjoyment(s) and toil.

Rock hound used to be called Ozymandias, DD.

I am hyke, btw. Silly mood made me chance my name is something meaning "an/the other way around". Hence my upside down avatar too.

Oh, then,  I do know this guy. I was wrong

I do not think that he and I are "friends."  As far as my part goes, I think he is mostly OK, but I know that he does not regard me as human. We have been at odds for ages. Not sure that we can resolve things. Not to worry. Neither he nor I give a half shit about the other. We will both be fine.

I will think of him as abject "noise" upon his return and I will try not to ruffle his VERY delicate feathers any more than I already have done in the past.

In fact, I plan to ignore him altogether, now that you have revealed his true identity. We just do not communicate well.

I will bet he still has short hair. Just a guess.

Anyway, thank you for giving me a headsup!

Hi. Hyke!
Thank you for the info.

I think I like it. Just do what you do and we will be fine.

Of course not, but it was by far the best, and not because the EU is so great but because the alternative sucks.

Found this. Hugely entertaining and reasonably true.

I wonder what effect the news about the current developments in the UK will have on the coming Austrian elections.

At the very least, the current situation should provide a very real warning to not take this sort of thing lightly.

It was funny.

I didn't realize neither side actually had an exit plan.

I think others will leave and they will start doing deals among themselves....then perhaps decide to join a international union...

Yes. Other possible exeteers and their opponents will be just as prepared, if they leave soon.
