And what is the nature of your call?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

It was this morning, last night....and Tuesday...not that it ever changes...conversation last trip...

CESM "'allo reception"

Me "bonjour, err, do you have ironing board, sivoo play"

CESM "oui monsieur"

Me "merci, could you send one up, sivoo play"

CESM "non, you 'ave to come to reception"

Me "ok, I'll head down, merci"

Off to reception I head...took under 5 minutes

Me "bonjour, Please could I have an ironing board, merci"

Reception - same voice I just spoke to on phone "we 'ave none, they're all out" Gallic shrug..

Me "F*£'&"

I'd want to get schnell and achtung in for good measure. Maybe weltanschauung just to showboat a bit...Anyhow time to grab a beer. They might just get off their asses quick enough for one before my flight in 3 hours.

That way the yoofs will get full value of their vote.

Thank God experience counts for nowt.

them owd feckers shouldn't get a vote - they've already had theirs - they voted to join! :wink:

Cameron's 'deal' beginning to look very shaky indeed. When foreign politicians start using phrases about the EU parliament's vote on the deal as being "I wish to be a monkey with a gun and shoot the British" (as one Hungarian MEP declared last night) then I think he's well and truly fxcked.

Same here. I really am 50/50.
Pros include: stability, better the devil, bloc power, certain financial arguments.
Cons include: rubbing the Scots noses in it, change as good as a rest, stand alone pride, certain other financial arguments (the main one being currency union without fiscal union is a timebomb waiting to explode).
