O/T:- Trump

[Elite_Pie]

Oh dear oh dear. Boris has gone directly against the Donald and there are already strong hints that the US-UK trade deal is under threat and that security-sharing will be affected.
And why aren't we handing over the good prince for questioning by the FBI re Geoffrey Epstein. I mean, if the boot was on the other foot, the US would hand over a fugitive from the law without so much as a sneer ... they would, wouldn't they?
Being out of Europe looks a bit more challenging today, n'est-ce pas?

You must be missing something here sid. Donald has offered us a "really great trade deal", and Boris has promised us that we are about to enter "a golden era". With those two in charge what could possibly go wrong?

I'm quite looking forward to 'Gammon Day' on Friday, because that's when the fun starts. I just hope that Soccerman and seriouspie have several changes of underwear at the ready, because they may be needed at both ends. In my opinion nothing much will change in the first year apart from a bit of a rise in the cost of living. After that, we either enter the golden era or start the gradual decline.

As a betting man, my money is definitely on the latter.

EP & Sidney ..... keep up voicing the opinions of LOSERS ...... makes for good reading.

Ooooh I just remembered one or two predictions you lads made.

EP: Mrs T lasted longer than the time you gave her ...... Bet lost

Divorce settlement nearer £30 billion than £64 billion ...... Bet would have been lost but I cancelled it, correct?

Sidney: Trump would never make the Presidency ...... proven wrong, I was correct

Trump would be in serious trouble after Mueller report ..... proven wrong, I was correct

Trump will never make a second term. We await November election but I think I'll be collecting the bet
Our Donald will be acquitted of the articles of impeachment ....... No problem
Hope you enjoy your Friday EP and if you tune in to hear Boris's speech, before ridiculing same, just remember this is the obnoxious clown that in five years time will have made sure you never ever see a Labour government again in your lifetime.

Probably may need extra underwear Friday/Saturday morning on account of copious amounts of fine English ale I and others will be downing at a country house party Friday evening and my bladder is nowhere near as reliable as it once was when 10 pints was a pleasant drink.

There will be no decline in our country's fortunes as long as we are in the hands of people that are used to money. You really should have gone for promotion when you were at work, it would have broadened your mind and taken away that big chip on your shoulder. Things have moved on in the workplace and it makes me smile when the Lefties are always carping on about this unfair world and the poor working classes. Working classes? ........ I know many lads making a bloody good living working with their hands and don't complain. There will always be a percentage of poor folk through no fault of their own that deserve help but all this bollox about the 'workers' being downtrodden is mostly ridiculous ....... If you want to better yourself, then make every effort to achieve it .... don't talk about it, do it .........the opportunities are there and always have been.

Mrs T lasted longer than the time I gave her? Don't remember betting on that evil bitch, you'll have to remind me.

Regarding the divorce settlement, those amounts weren't the bet. I can't remember the figures, but I recall I won and it cancelled out another bet that I lost.

What chip on my shoulder? You seem to be confusing me with someone else because I have managed to better myself. Funny you should bring it up now, because a couple of days ago I had some very good news on the financial front. My wife was left some land in Lincolnshire when her dad died nearly 30 years ago, 3 plots of around 17 acres in total. It's always been used as agricultural land providing a modest annual income, but now East Lindsey District Council have approved a request to make it residential building land. I won't mention figures on here, but the value has suddenly rocketed. What are we doing about it? We are in the process of transferring ownership of the land to our 3 kids, because we don't need the cash.

Evil bitch ....... not a nice way to describe a lady (of any ilk) and obviously shows your lack of etiquette and manners. Even an inner city secondary school would have taught you this, or did it? Bloody hell, I got a polite warning the other week for even daring to print the word 'Chinks' but so be it, no real complaints from me - you can't help where you were educated.

Back to your question and the bet. It was the bet on the aforementioned lady which you lost ...... and admittedly, agreed by you, this was the case. The secondary bet for another £20 was how much cash we would pay the EU as and when we left the Union. At the time of the bet a figure of £63 billion was being hawked around by the press and you rightly pointed out that no firm sum had been agreed at the time - but we agreed to use this figure, with me saying it would be nearer £30 billion and you saying it would be nearer the other figure. However if you remember, it was later bandied about in the press the figure would be less, possibly in the £50 - £60 billion range. This figure would have won you this bet and because the bet was placed on the original estimate, I conceded to you as all the signs pointed to this figure, and therefore by conceding, it cancelled out the loss on your first bet. Basically all I'm saying is that if we had waited until an official sum had been agreed, I would have won.

Delighted about your good fortune and your decision. By coincidence have been helping Steph out with certain things concerning 10 acres of potential building land her real dad (Alan Potts) gave to her years ago. Land is still one of the best investments around and especially if full planning permission is granted. However in our case, no rush and only testing the water and applying for outline consent. Will then possibly wait for a few years before applying for full detailed consent when value will have risen! Rotten Tories that we are!!

Shouldn´t you be out with Fatboy, smashing something up or setting fire to something?....I know it´s difficult to leave your ivory tower hidden somewhere in the idyllic Yorkshire countryside, but at least you should make a physical effort to support your Leftie principals rather than gobbing off on an obscure 5th division footie site, some several weeks after the champagne socialists were completely routed at the ballot box....................as we all warned you!

ps Don´t worry, the other fool will be here to bail you out soon.....oops, he´s here already, telling everyone how to earn money from the bookies again........yawn (Snobbers2, my bets last time were on the commie gimps to get routed.....looks like another 6 months of free beers, hic)

......anyway, I only popped in to let everyone know that I wasn´t yet propping up the Mexican daisies, and now I think I will leave you both to stroke each other´s, errr.......ego.....hopefully I will return for the promo party but just a quick tip, Sid the Snake, add a footie comment somewhere in your insane ramblings....it adds a smidgen of credibility!....you know it makes sense.

Probably a wise decision tarquin. At least that way you won't make a complete tit of yourself on the Cheltenham thread again!

See you in April.

Yes, all posts must include a footie comment.

Like yours?

Looking forward to a 2 - 1 win on Saturday 😊

Sid, relax, we’re entering a new golden age of sovereignty. The many benefits of Brexit will soon become obvious after our exit on Friday. Don’t forget, we are getting a new 50p.

That’s what they promised wasn’t it?

I see that Ali Campbell (he of the Dodgy Dossier, not the bloke out of UB40) and Lord Adonis are not going to accept this new 50p coin.

I urge them, and any other Cry Babies who are thinking of doing the same, to send them to me.

I'll give them 20p back for each one and tell them what to spend it on.
