Happy Thanksgiving

Recommended Posts

All,

 

Let me be the first to wish you a happy Thanksgiving (a silly American holiday) with this news.

 

Rush-hour travel chaos feared on UK roads and rails as 70mph gales batter Britain with up to eight inches of snow and four inches of rain expected to fall overnight

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

 

Weather Forecasting is only slightly better than Economic Forecasting.

One day The king wanted to go fishing, and he asked the royal weather forecaster the forecast for the

next few hours.

The palace meteorologist assured him

that there was no chance of rain.

So the king and the queen went fishing.

On the way he met a man with a fishing pole riding on a

donkey, and he asked the man if the fish were biting.

The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time. I expect a huge rain storm."

The king replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an educated and

experienced professional.

Besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very

different forecast. I trust him."

So the king continued on his way. However, in a short time a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen

were totally soaked.

Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the meteorologist. Then

he summoned the fisherman and offered him the prestigious

position of royal forecaster.

The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything

about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that...

it will rain."

So the king hired the donkey.

And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions of government.

The practice is unbroken to this date

That's why shipping companies and airline companies spend 100s of millions of pounds a year on weather forecasts. They just love pouring money down the drain.

Not sure what exactly you are adding here, if you are following on from the light hearted approach and jokes I have made then you are never going to make it in stand up, perhaps you are being sarcastically serious, in which case we can have a long and incredibly boring discussion on the accuracy of weather Forecasting, when I have time.

 

If you are trolling for an adverse reaction then I would suggest you return to the EU, should we leave post, and state exactly why you think the UK has to, or needs to negotiate 'new' trade deals with any nation with which it already has a trading agreement through the EU or otherwise.

If you can't work out how an FTA with Country A and the EU will no longer apply to us after we leave the EU all on your ownsome then you are beyond help.

I don't need any help working that out, it's a process called 'rectification' and is a procedure within WTO rules. I am unable to help you understand that what you are continually harping on about is wrong, as I have repeatedly said, the only Countries the UK need to make any trade agreement with is the EU member states, every other trade agreement remains valid.

I was listening to the ceo of the wto org make comments today and he claims that the u k based on it's trade turnover will have absolutely no problem trading under wto rules as the u k already does outside of the e u under wto. A no deal situation with the e u is not a cliff as some intimate, you are correct, those individual e u countries do not want to loose the trade it already enjoys with the u k, There are 6-8 individual e u countries who would scoring own goals if they did not organise fta's with the u k. bring it on I say.

 

there's no real fta with the e u in any event. It has too many strings attached. Cory and co can still suckle the e u political tit in particular if he wants to move to his beloved france.

 

 

ahh, I was looking for the same article in the sunday telegraph, not to worry:

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong
