    One hop from the Isle of Man - Hairy:

    http://www.timewitnesses.org/english/IsleOfMan.html

    That will satisfy a few of the Europeanphobes on here.

    It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell who the bitter fantasists are. The little englander xenophobes or the sort of hoary scaremongers posting about internment?

    I suppose it would certainly resolve any post brexit unemployment problems and probably make President Trump's wall commitment look sensible in comparison.

    1.  Irony lost on you here?  You are the one mentioning posts on the internet, then sledging someone on the internet, and his dad to boot.  Irony's a cruel bedfellow at the best of times, but here, it's simply delicious.

    2.  I would hope that was a personal thing, in that you fought for her to stay, as is happening with the English friend whose Spanish wife (who is godparent to two of my kids) and, I shit you not, is being asked to 'present her papers' at the local town hall.

    3.  I'm not a Tory so couldn't quote on that.

    You should sticking to ironing not irony. 

    So your line of scaremongering is presentation of papers at the town hall. In a queue of 6 million people? Good luck with that.

    Thousands Of Airline Job Losses

    Monarch are very strong as the people that don't own it aren't too bothered about profits.

    As I've been saying for months here, this winter dozens of airlines will go bust. And good riddance to them. Their removal will allow the new, strong, well managed airline who deliver a product at a price people actually want to flourish.

    Ryanair and easyJet both have new aircraft deliveries in 2009 and 2010 and 2011 and they will be more than happy to step into the void left by these over leveraged non-brand non-entity airlines going bust. Forest fires are ultimately healthy for the forest and I can sure smell the smoke.

    Everyone in the industry knows who are likely not to see Easter.

    Clearly their creditors are bothered ? 9 years is a long time.

    Monarch are a company fronted by Swiss Bankers to recycle money from other business opportunities, if you know what I mean. They will never run out of money..............

    I would imagine that investing in middle eastern airlines would be a good idea, or basically any country that has access to oil, everyone else will be in severe difficulties, private companies will go first, those with the largest bank balances will last the longest before inevitably succumbing. All airlines, like all companies, will eventually dissappear, as I posted earlier, companies are born, grow old, then die. They then get replaced by other companies, although I'm not convinced air travel will last beyond 50 years never mind into the next century.

    Any airline intent on lasting a long time better think about leaving the industry.

    Well they did

    Shouting?  I think you're a bit mistaken - I simply disagree with you, I don't know you, don't really care, but I find your 'shouting at boys' a bit dismissive, that's all.  I don't really give a shit about 'papa'.

    The funny thing is, it is what he fought about, if you think about it...

    Well then, web historians can look back and see whose recent posting history is more like a drunken tramp in the park shouting at strangers.

    Hypothetical question for you, if I live in the UK and am married to a foreigner, an EU citizen in fact, what will happen to my partner? 

    What is the official scaremonger party line on this situation?

    Lol

    I am left wondering whether the parents on here would be as accepting or back down in the face of such professional whingmanship from their children as is being displayed here.

    How else do you think us loosers can pretend we’re double hard rather than facing the shame of having no girlfriend, living with our parents and wanting to see the UK burn?

    Doesn't worry me what you think mate, I'm not my Father and didn't bother with the Army for obvious reasons.

    But it's kind of intuitive what you're saying about someone who's actually faced war, faced extreme hardship and battle.  I don't like my dad, can't stand him, but ****** me, he's done stuff I would never have the balls to do, and in that matter, god, lots of respect.  

    But, you continue, as it's funny.

    Not laughing at the situation or your Papa. Just you. How proud would your Dad be at you shouting at strangers on the internet in the afternoon like a cider sodden tramp in the park? Bet it made fighting all those wars worthwhile.

    I was reading the latest posts on here and found myself getting emotional. Wound up.

    I recognised the feeling. It was a special kind of wind up. 

    I thought about it for a while.

    I realised that only two people on earth had the same power to give me an almost identical feeling. Those people are my four-year-old and two-year-old.

    The relentlessness is the same.

    The difference is that the nursery and infant school antics are poorly disguised by 'grown-ups' attempting to appear smarter and more prophetic than their perceived adversary.

    I'll make a prophecy of my own. This post is going to go down as well as it would if I was trying to explain it to my four-year-old.

     

    My potential for winding up is akin to a dual-core toddler with dedicated TPU

    My Dad was an RSM in the REME, my mother a stay at home mum.   I've just done well, don't try and classify me, I just want good things for my family and that isn't, or shouldn't be, a middle class thing.  If you think it is, please don't have kids...

    Salt of the earth working class :lol: cool story.

     

    I’ve not paid much attention to you, as a blatant single issue poster. Presumably that’s your German connection? Lived there while Dad was shouting at little boys?

    Why fear competition?  Why fear anything?  Just be the best at what you want to do, the rest will fall into place. My kids would have got the education they deserve regardless of my position in life, as I want them to better me, it's my job that they are better than me.  That's one of the things about being a parent: you want your kids to have more than you've had.  This isn't about class, money or education, is a simple fact.  If you don't want your kids to better you, you shouldn't have kids.  Were I a delivery driver, factory worker, I'd want buy kids to have the best education they could. My kids, despite me being able to afford private school, go to state school, as I believe in it.  I also want my kids to fly; I have paid into the child trust fund that they receive at 18 and I will be urging them to take off for a year, see the world, to work and live in places, to experience the world.  I did, I worked in France as an 18 year old, then came back to Europe after Uni to work there again.  I'd absolutely love my kids to do the same. My Erasmus M.Sc. was done in Lisbon for 3 months, 3 months in Heidelberg and 6 months in London.  I'd want this for my kids, I'd want them to look at the world as a small place, not the UK as the only place.  You call me blinkered, yet I find attitudes like yours odd - I'd be distraught if my kids didn't want to leave Somerset and stay in the UK all their lives.  

    You're obviously younger than me, as I needed a carnet to travel Europe in my VW in the 80's, had to wait at borders, sometimes for hours.  You think they're going to roll out the red carpet for us in

    Oh come on. This idea that its suddenly going to be brutally hard to go for a jaunt in Europe is nonsense. There may be other reasons to have a debate about the future after Brexit. But this 'oh its going to be so hard walking through another queue at the airport' mantra is a waste of time.

    It’s the same as: 

    brexit is stupid because we need all these EU citizens to fill all these job vacancies.

    and

    brexit is stupid because we’ll all lose our current  jobs and there won’t be any new jobs any more.

    Thanks. I was reading this forum daily from about 2012, posted a few times, had a gap of 3-4 months, forgot username (and lost a windows installation with all cached logins) so re-registered as a new user.

    Even so, emigration.. Thanks for the heads up to the thread. I'll dig it out.

    This was what I was thinking of

    I have the once in a lifetime possibility to emigrate to a Mediterranean country. Don't get me wrong, not risk adverse and the quality of life can be much better than being a boiled frog in the UK, but it's a scary prospect.... Is there a thread for this? I'm sick of UK PLC. 

    There was an active ex pat thread for a long time during the bad days but nothing really in the time you’ve been here.

     

    For a time I was looking to go to Greece, was a recurring theme every couple of months. With the kids though, better opportunities here after the EU taught the Greeks a lesson they’ll never forget.
