    Just another version of 'the EU will cave' I guess. That or underestimating how much some tories actually want a hard brexit. Unless they can convince enough labour types to vote for any deal it is doomed.

      I think a Brexit deal *will* be done, and it will be one that the rabid Brexiteers fear most, a BRINO (Brexit In Name Only) arrangement. Having no say in the EU, but following almost all of the rules. Pushed through at the very last minute (though already agreed on right now) with May or whomever saying 'it's this or total armageddon for the UK, we must accept'. Relying on Labour support if necessary.

      All of this is just window dressing until the crunch moment IMHO, keeping the mad idiots somewhat in check for another few months.

          Ask yourself this:

          what do Labour want?

          and then reponder the above.

              Labour are scarcely any more monolithic than the Tories. Corbyn wants to leave, his subordinates vary across the spectrum from hard exit to as close to status quo as possible to remain.

              Would the likes of Keir Starmer sit on his hands while they went off the cliff? I think if push comes to shove there will be as many in Labour who will vote to stop the madness as there will be on the Tory side who want to crack open skulls and feast on the goo inside.

                    I guess if it's worth that much you should go, it's no biggie and could be beneficial financially long term.
                    I don't know if you have health insurance with work but there's a few questionable treatments that you can claim some money back on too so probably worth it.

                        I assume he means that they want an election above all else. I'm not sure quite why as they are in bits as much as the tories in many ways. The leadership don't mind brexit but if it fucks with the. tories are open to it not happening too. Most Labour mps don't want brexit but are too shit scared about losing their own seat to rock the boat.

                          I mean, maybe you are getting at 'they want to get into power' but as I tried to suggest in my last post I think there are loads of MPs that will vote to avoid the cliff rather than tumble over in the hope they will land on top of the broken wreckage below.

                            Nirider was brutal at the en banc hearing, floundering while the states attorney nailed every issue or question thrown at him. She really let Brendan down considering it was a 4 to 3 split in the end. Looked like a complete, overly academic, armature. KZ practically says as much when suggesting how it should have been handled.

                              So you don't know what they want but you do think enough sensible Labourites will defy the whip and coalesce with enough sensible Tories to vote through a BRINO deal (that none of the voters want)?

                                Kinda want to buy a house personally but dunno where I want to live so have to keep at paying too much rent and saving with no real purpose.
                                My friend did the splitting mortgage thing which seems like a great idea. Is it still a case that people can't get mortgages from other countries btw?
                                I have never been so socially busy in my life, and we have 3 kids! The diet doesn't fare to well due to an active social life, but we don't let having kids ruin our fun!

                                  No no. I said that 'they' don't all want any one thing so the question is a bit stupid.

                                  I'm quite confident many of them want to maintain a position as close to status quo as possible and rightly consider a no deal the worst possible outcome.

                                  I think it's well within the bounds of possibility that May will have most of the Tories on board and that enough Labour MPs will vote along with them if the alternative is a crash out.

                                      Status quo is Remain. That isn't happening. So the question is what kind of compromise Brexit could May get through the Commons - for the Tories it must respect her red lines and for Labour it must respect all the protections currently enjoyed within the EU. So, again, how do you square that circle (outside the realms of wishful thinking)?

                                      Everyone knows No Deal is the worst possible option so you're just stating the obvious there.

                                          Don't you think my additions in bold might become important should it get down to a last minute vote 'this deal or Armageddon'? No deal will require ALL Conservatives MPs or ALL Labour MPs, and in unprecedented times I don't think party whips will be obeyed. They barely are at present.

                                            They have the concept of whip, two line whip and three line whip in the Commons. Presumably last night was the mildest and no-one was too bothered that they defied it. From memory this level is only a reminder of what the party policy is and that this should guide their vote.
                                            2 line and especially 3 line is where it gets serious ('release the photos of you and the rentboy' serious), and you are less likely to get casual defiers in this case.
                                            Brexit vote will almost certainly be level 2 or 3.

                                              So, I'll ask you the same question I asked Hitch. Which menu option in the below will they be voting for?



                                              This is the most important vote in UK history for over 4 decades btw. Whips matter.

                                                I think 'independent trade policy' and 'regulator autonomy' will fall by the wayside for sure - 'this is the best deal possible, a great deal for the UK and the only option open to us - the EU has conceded a lot' will be the message at the last moment, even as red lines are discarded left, right and centre!

                                                      Was thinking like its a cover myself, as if he isnt the slightest bit curious. He will be back into the local parish priest soon enough organising a place in Scoil Mhuire for the daughter no doubt. And who would blame him.

                                                          Funny how the general public are getting so excited by that Tweet about the standard kilogram when every science and engineering student will tell you that the lecture on units and standards is among the single most dull and boring that they've ever taken.

                                                                Both sides have painted themselves into a corner on the NI backstop. Who do you think caves there? If the UK, no way a vote goes through without the tories tearing themselves apart (not a bad thing), it would also trigger a general election. If the EU then it'll have to be with Ireland's agreement or we can vote any deal down or else FG will come out of it all looking terribly.

                                                                                Rather good looking Brazilian girl who works for me came into me to ask about holidays. She had a few days booked off but wanted to cancel them as she now only needed a half day for a driver theory test. She then asked if she needed to use her holidays for an exam. I'm thinking she means her driving test and say ' The Driving Exam?' to which she replies, 'No, I need to go to the doctor for an exam on my breasts' As she is saying this, she has her hands cupped over her breasts and gesturing with them as if to highlight that A) she has breasts (there is no need to highlight them, they carry that task out perfectly fine on their own) and B) that the test concerns the breasts.

                                                                                I'm pretty sure I went a bright shade of red as I blurted out that she needs to book time off...

                                                                                        And at the end of the day, what have you got to lose trying the stuff she mentioned? (never heard of it myself)
                                                                                        It's pseudoscientific nonsense.

                                                                                        It's also dangerous nonsense. The person I'm talking about brings her children to homeopaths instead of doctors. Thousands of people shun real treatment for it.

                                                                                        I did 'try' it, as I felt it too socially awkward to say no. Some ridiculous little sugar balls.

                                                                                        All of homeopathy's remedies and potions have been thoroughly debunked by science. You might rate it but whatever you feel it's doing for you is placebo.

                                                                                        Also, any GP pushing it should be immediately struck off.

If i had went 5 year fixed (Which i was advised by a few) I'd be quite significantly out of pocket. Ended up doing 3 (Still the wrong decision) and now on SVR at the moment(AIB) and not coming off it for foreseeable.

I also split the mortgage into the amount I could possibly repay (extra) in 5 years and fixing the amount I knew I could refinance on my without Goodluck2her so it would take the pressure of us.

Don't think ECB rates are going up anytime soon (we're around the corner from a recession IMHO) and for me there's more likelihood SVR will go down then up in the medium term in Ireland, our margins are still very high!
                                                                                            Agreed on the margins, but I’m not sure they get dramatically lower, but you could easily have an inflation shock that puts them higher and given I can well afford it today I’m happy to give up that likelihood as an opportunity cost.

                                                                                              I did 'try' it, as I felt it too socially awkward to say no. Some ridiculous little sugar balls.

                                                                                              All of homeopathy's remedies and potions have been thoroughly debunked by science. You might rate it but whatever you feel it's doing for you is placebo.

                                                                                              Also, any GP pushing it should be immediately struck off

Some of it will work, as there is often a little truth in it. Chinese medicine on the other hand is much more effective and spawned much of the western medicine today... having said all that I got to the doctor first.

She had a few days booked off but wanted to cancel them as she now only needed a half day for a driver theory test. She then asked if she needed to use her holidays for an exam. I'm thinking she means her driving test and say ' The Driving Exam?' to which she replies, 'No, I need to go to the doctor for an exam on my breasts' As she is saying this, she has her hands cupped over her breasts and gesturing with them as if to highlight that A) she has breasts (there is no need to highlight them, they carry that task out perfectly fine on their own) and B) that the test concerns the breasts.

                                                                                                I'm pretty sure I went a bright shade of red as I blurted out that she needs to book time off...

Why aren't quiet sweet wrappers or crisp packets a thing? On the flight home the other day and a few people nearly got toasted sandwiches. Aer Lingus seems to serve them in the rattliest possibly packaging, which would be irritating enough on a normal day, but when we have a child we desperately want to stay asleep, even more so.

                                                                                                                        You can get 12 visits a year to a osteopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist and/or reflexologist.
                                                                                                                        I was friendly with a few guys in chiro college in NZ which I concluded was largely complete wizardry.

                                                                                                                        I've had a little dry needling in the physio and I found it definitely mimicked an invasive massage but the impact is relatively split from what I've read and I assume research converges with acupuncture to a degree.

                                                                                                                        I'm sure it's simply a case that the benefit outweighs the cost for an insurer but I was initially surprised treatments which are questionable at best were even covered.
