Accents can add to it, possibly less of a problem with English accents, but I've had American and Canadian friends who couldn't hear a change in tone because the accent was so foreign. 

I have been completed on being very patient and professional over email when that wasn't my intention so I might need that style guide to translate to American.

Ok, new question. If your horns tend to get stuck in the doorframes, and their weight is beginning to affect posture, should you wank more or less?

Depends on how much you like the look of your horns, if you don't mind getting them trimmed a vet is probably a better bet than a doctor and no need to change your habits.

The only thing that we cannot source outside of the UK is toilet paper, why we don't make this is beyond me, but I'll stock up on a few 12 packs.

What paper stock is used for UK banknotes?

We're trying to avoid imports from the UK, besides, we don't want to go polluting our water with Sterling.

The reports from the leak last month included risks of oil refineries closing, probably item 15.

I am somewhat surprised Boris Johnson turned down an electoral pact with the Brexit Party.

I suppose someone, somewhere, decided that Brexit didn't have enough drama yet and needed more.

I'm not sure what to make of that, if he is going for no deal, turning them down is because he thinks no deal will somehow rally people to them for having delivered brexit.
Or he is going to trot out mays deal again, and pray people choose that over no deal

Would you trust Nigel Farage? How long would a government last relying on the brexit party once they start trying to negotiate trade deals with the EU, the DUP have set the example.

I think it's pretty clear by now that this is the worst timeline. So of course he will.

(Charles is, of course, a walking constitutional crisis all on his own, so that will go well with the seven or so other ones we have brewing)

See, this is what happens when you don't write things down. Just don't let a religion co-write it either or else you get things like blasphemy being criminalised that need referendums to fix. Maybe ban calling princes Charles as well.

Is there any framework for something to be declared unconstitutional (like say, a monarch with ideas beyond his station), or is it up to the courts to make a determination as and when issues arise?

Good thing we don't have any future monarchs named Charles, huh?

He still has to outlast Elizabeth.

Has prorogation of parliament ever been ruled unlawful before? If the Supreme Court agrees, will there be any consequence for the government aside from parliament being recalled?

The appeal against prorogation isn't dead yet.

Animals don't  get disgusted by the horrible things you say.

Are you speaking from your personal experience? As a magpie, I mean

As someone that frequently feeds sparrows while discussing human eugenics in the backyard, can confirm, birds don't get disgusted by my personal views - not necessarily true regarding all other animals tho, needs further testing.

Food is food, besides, human eugenics won't affect your sparrows.

I read something years ago commenting on Nazis who would treat jews, Slavs etc so much worse than they would an animal, the idea was that even Nazis couldn't stop themselves from seeing their enemies as human and the brutality was to drown out their consciences.

Have fun with this.

You can't say both sides are the same when only Trump's fans are writing manifestos.

There was a study published a few weeks ago about  people forming false memories after reading news they agreed with.

Is he an independent now or will there be a by-election to add to the mess?

Well then.


I have to say I'm still baffled as to how they imagine this whole backstop thing is going to work out if they continue to insist on kicking it.

If a new government can be formed without relying on the party of the 18th century DUP, there is an option for NI to stay in the customs union.

Deselecting MPs who vote in favour of  an extension isn't as much of a threat if there's no election coming up. An election  after brexit might give a different party or coalition the majority, so all the problems will be their fault.
