Anyone tried swallowing those cod liver oil tablets?!
Now that’s hard to swallow.

The ones I had were red and flavourless.
Really? Not the huge gel tablet things? Designed for pelicans?
Should’ve taken the blue pill.

Talking to someone when I was getting the paper this morning. Adamant that the Conservatives won’t get leaving the eu sorted by the end of Jan.
Well, it’s true. It’s genuinely the plan. It’s a milestone, not the finish line.

The first part of the leave process which is actually breaking the ties will get done, so the government can then get on with the other things. He didn’t even think the first stage would get done.
But it was the conservatives who consistently voted against leaving last time around? Where’s the guarantee their own infighting won’t stall things again?

Didn’t have quite the same natural majority then and I think Boris Johnson made it clear when he withdrew the Whip from some big names who I suspect thought they were untouchable, what his approach is with anyone advocating anything other than his line, he wasn’t bothered by upsetting them or them not liking him.
I’ve been looking forward to this all my adult life and a bit before that as the stupidity of protectionist Common Market rules, that restricted the free market came to my attention when I was 10/11. I didn’t see it as restricting the free market at that age, just plain stupid.
I’m more than glad we didn’t end up with a “hung parliament” and more of the dithering we’ve had for the last 3½ years.
Interesting that as far as I’m aware all of the defectors are no longer MPs, which they probably didn’t see coming.

Because the people have spoken. The people spoke with the ballot box and they have seen the devastating effect ignoring the people had with Labours crippling defeat.
Corbyn still refusing to resign. That cost them 2 General Elections and complete devastation in Scotland, typical of a Socialist Dictator, so at least he’s getting back to their Socialist roots…

“What are some straight-up facts people just won’t swallow?”
That this thread is not for whingeing about politics!

I know that we can block individual persons on here, but is there a way to block an entire thread?
Because this one is as dull as dishwater and I keep seeing the little notifications that there are updated threads, only to look and think “Oh. 
It’s just that one again.”
The little box with ‘tracking’ or ‘normal’ in it, at the bottom. If you click on it there’s an option to mute.

Ok, an actual fact, that I learnt, that people cannot handle.
Cucumbers contain a chemical which you can only taste if you have a certain genetic make up.
If you CAN taste it, you think cucumber tastes like death, it contaminates everything it touches and ruins meals. The same chemical is also found in water melon.
If you can’t taste it, you think those fruit taste of nothing.

People who don’t read for pleasure should be shot and their worthless lives finally given meaning by using their corpses as flood defences.
Thought I’d post something nice and uncontentious - Merry Christmas to you all.
