| Have to own up that I would like GB to leave the EU. You lot are seen as a massive barrier to European integration in Ireland. I think the inability of the EU to come up with a decent foreign policy (particularly to deal with terror as one block) and deal with banking is largely a product of UK aligning itself both militarily and financially with corporate America instead of its EU partners. Cameron is one of the biggest proponents of TTIP which looks like a lot of s**t from wikileaks documents I've read (taxpayers paying damages for business's loss of earnings through insisting on good regulation in industry and finance.) Maybe if GB leaves the EU will be able to deal with banking crisis without UK veto-ing that hurts the City of London by tackling s**t like this www.theguardian.com/business/2012/jul/21/offshore-wealth-gl... As an English speaking country Ireland is also hoping we'll pick up a lot of your American technology, pharma and investment sector (though I guess most of the EU is.) That said since Blair you've had a democracy like USA where the two main parties fight for the same space in big corporations pockets. Maybe if Corbin can get in as opposition your country may start to debate the scale of inequality between a City of London nurse and investment banker as out of kilter with a healthy community. | |||

| How was the holiday? Was listening to Lunchtime show here on the radio and they said the German Finance Minister told Budestag (spelling?) that Grexit would be a better option than unsustainable depts. Doesn't sound over. http://www.rt.com/op-edge/273829-tsipras-greece-bankers-auster... The bit about Charles DeGaul is interesting creating the French system is interesting. | |||

| I used to do the door on a pub and found Clark's much better than anything else for long hours on feet. I'd probably have tried orthotics or equivalent if they had been available back then. | |||

| Doing a 30-40min walk before breakfast will drop fat. Your already fasted so your body has nothing but fat to burn. Your not exercising enough to start your body eating muscle (significantly). You can have a black coffee to get metabolism going, water too. I usually do on way to work so have readybreak/ground oats and whey when I arrive before shift. Otherwise have terrible hungry breath. | |||

| Britexit the worst bit of diplomacy ever? Cameron has said he will have a referendum on membership of EU regardless of any special conditions Great Britain and Northern Ireland can get out of the EU. He has said he will seek to stay in the EU if he can negotiate a better Europe or better deal for Britain. However Dave seems unable to articulate what he means in any meaningful way in British media. It was likely a bit of gambling on the Torries part, agreeing to an in/out referendum to win back UKIP defectors in the knowledge Dave will be gone as leader by the time the fallout hits if GNIB leaves the EU. From an EU perspective EU want UK to remain in, but if its leaving why would EU let GBNI have better terms than existing members as they effectively would be going from the status of an insider to a foreign power in competition with remaining EU members. I'd go further and say if I was one of the 25 countries leaders I’d invite Cameron to suck a lemon and leave GBNI have a referendum on remaining in the EU as is or leaving and facing high trade tariffs (especially for City of London) and little freedom of movement within the 25 remaining countries and all your pension age ex-patriots returned so NHS can pay for their medical care. What better motivation could there be for GNIB to remain in EU than an even worse deal if you vote to leave!!! The sad thing is I really think the newspapers will push leaving at any cost and a lot of people want out regardless of the effect. Am I missing anything or has Conservative leadership really f**ked it up by guaranteeing an in/out referendum? | |||

AdamT said:My dad bought a thing called 6 second abs, were you can train your abs on the sofa. I called over to my friend without ringing once and he was dying his hair, with a electric shock six pack abs machine on under a vest with a bottle of moose head in his hand. Multitasking. | |||
