Topic: What are you doing right now?

It isn't generally available.

That wouldn't deter my daughter.

watching the Leave campaign gloat.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, in the Remain campaign should resign, retire, and hang their heads in shame. They had a basically unloseable position, and through arrogance, disdain, disinterest and bullying they managed to drive the country into the arms of Nigel-bloody-Farridge.

I don't really care one way or the other (I really can't see how it affects the average Joe in the street), but if what the Innies have been saying is true, then I hold them - each and every one of them,  but with Osborne at the head of the queue - personally responsible.

What staggering incompetence from folk that believe themselves to be capable of running a country. They couldn't run a bath.

Now there is going to be a real battle to stop the remnants of the political establishment turning this country into a fascist idiocracy.

Obama sealed it for me.

Here's a true story: today I spoke to at least 6 of my clients (all flooded out from yesterday) and every one of them was bemoaning the result and some had even turned to drink (well, an afternoon bottle of Corona with their girlfriends). I then spoke to a few suppliers who were saying things like "we're screwed" and had similar conversations with some industry counterparts. I had started the day telling folk I voted out but ended it having to dodge around the question/answer. Then it dawned on me, not a single person I had spoken to was English. There had been some French, some Moroccan, some Iraqi, some Polish, some Italian and one Irish.

I then went shopping in Asda and spoke to my friend on the fish counter who is English, and he couldn't give a poo that we left the EU. As you say, to average Joe, life goes on.

I had to deal with an estate agent this afternoon who had a face longer than a horse's, who had to ring his clients and tell them that 15% had just been wiped off the value of their houses.

Happy days I say. That is unless they rip London out of the U.K and make it a mini country within the EU.

Obama sealed it for me.

Obama changed his attitude and stance very quickly.
Agree with Christ, another campaign ruined with arrogance, had the facts and figures yet wouldn't quote and state them with passion.
Well, as always with the English lets muster on and get on with it.

American liberals are tearing hair and gnashing teeth.  Everyone fears that a Trump presidency is next, given the unexpected vote in the UK.  I hear strong arguments for both sides, but also realize that there is a protracted period of negotiating what this means for the UK, and in the meantime, there is space to back away from this vote.  I'm just contemplating upping my tea supply, given the good exchange rates.  It's hard to get Fortnum & Mason in the US, and frankly, it's usually worth it just to order a lot and pay shipping costs.  The exchange rate has been pretty steep for us as of late.  It's now down to 1.36 (dollars to one pound), whereas when we were there 5 years ago it was more like 1.75.

I'm having a quiet afternoon, having just produced an apricot tarte and it's cooling in the kitchen.  I contemplate going out to get some vanilla ice cream to have with it, but perhaps that would be overkill.

Watching Ireland lose.

I'm not happy about it but if France were to lose, God knows what would happen to Hollande.

Perhaps the smell of the burger is what's attracting them?

Enjoying the education provided whenever you folks have discussions on politics, abroad current events, especially Europe, and lots of other things I don't know. . .
As for me, I have been long interested and reading into the original races, cultures, civilizations, and religious beliefs. 
Apparently, on my days off my biorythmic system stays on third shift.

Rumour has it they were separated at birth.

This should be a gif with busey rising from the bottom. If I had my PC set up I'd make it.

Interesting that everyone seems to think that BoJo is a shoo-in - odd when most all of the reporting we see is how we should't be leaving and the same commentators seem to blame him. Do we all manage to have the same contradictory thoughts - we all regret voting out, but will still elect BoJo?

I thought they'd be an early General Election which would mean that even if BoJo was to lead the tories he wouldn't automatically be PM (for long).

Mind you, GoBrn hung on in there, dint he.

Didn't "BoJo" nod out?  What to do now with the big mess.  At least it's entertaining.

Don't you laugh at us: you have a Trumpnado or Typhoon Billary a-comin' your way.

You should make movies for SyFy. Or do you already?
