EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Let's face it: the biggest tragedy for you islanders is that all those nice Italian, Belgian, French,... steel bikes will become even more expensive than they already are!
(By the way: I'm offering a 7% discount to UK residents on my Gios that's currently in the Classifieds)

Tell me about it. Bikes I was looking at yesterday have suddenly become more expensive over night

If one of your grandparents is an Irish citizen who was born in Ireland, but none of your parents was born in Ireland, you may become an Irish citizen. You will need to have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register.

Does Irish = Norther Irish in this context?

Yup but they have to have been born before 19-twenty-something.

On the other hand I abroad might finally be able to afford something from a UK framebuilder. And my student loan repayments get cheaper. #smallsilverlinings

Have just been looking this up, and annoyingly my Dad never registered as a foreign birth so I'm shit out of luck. Unless my fiancé applies and then we're married for 3 years. Probably won't have £231 left by that point though...

Just met two old work friends for lunch, they were like, 'welcome to the new world', I said, 'pretty fucking depressing huh?'.

One of them said, 'we both voted out', the other says, 'if you think about it, a European super state was Hitler's ambition and Polish lads bother my daughter when she's out clubbing, so I voted out'.

Bit of a shit lunch TBH. Fucking idiots.

Hackney was on 78.8%.

EAT A DICK BRO

You can't have just boroughs. Cities only.

Else where does it stop? Individual streets? Households?

Cambridge won. Get over it.

You are not alone. Unfortunately I expect many of us right here are in the same boat. After all it's the oldies that fucked it for us. I am also due to see my Dad tomorrow night. We have already agreed not to discuss politics. It's not worth falling out with family and friends over. I just walk away

It ain't party political. It's poor and disaffected (and the odd racist and megalomaniac) vs comfortable and complacent

Not diasgreeing with you, I'm from Royston where Oliver Heald has been the MP for almost my entire life and North Herts was 55% in. Most people there are doing just fine thankyouverymuch, thelast they want is anyone fucking up house prices and making their holidays cost more.

Looks like I could get Irish citizenship, if necessary. Having an ongoing whatsapp group argument with my sister, mum and brother. Mum and bro voted out, sister and I voted remain. Sigh.

More excellent graphics; areas who have the highest % of GDP exports to EU were more likely to vote Out

friend on facebook is already looking at a real risk of folding her business she's spent 5 years building because all her pending invoices are to suppliers in the states and now she doesn't have the money to pay them without emptying the coffers completely.

but thank god we're free of the tyranny of the EU overlords once and for good.

Imagine that Fred Durst wrote 'My Generation' from the POV of a 65-y.o. Brexiter and it's quite funny. Kinda. I mean, funny in a way because satire is all I have left.

The wording of different parts of that page are confusing me a bit. The table suggests someone (me) with an Irish grandparent can get an Irish passport by registering myself in the foreign births register but further up it seems to suggest (as I think you've inferred) that unless your parent was registered as a foreign birth then it's a no-go.

Is it definitely the latter?

My dad's the same...

all her pending invoices are to suppliers in the states and now she doesn't have the money to pay them without emptying the coffers completely.

Because of a 7% currency shift?

If your Grandparent was born in Ireland, you're good to go. I thought my Grandad was born in England, my great-grandad in Ireland, which would've required Grandad being registered as a foreign birth in order to carry on down to me.

In the last 5mins, I've just found out my Grandad was born in Cork which means I'm elligble and all his certificates are at my uncles house

Time for a Guinness then!

I think, anyway...

Bit clearer:

Nice one! Congrats, and thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, if your grandparents were born in Ireland you're fine. Just spent the afternoon getting all the documents ready myself.

Hackney's got three times as many people in it as Cambridge. If we're going by numbers Cambridge is OUT OF THE GAME BRO

It's way to damp and miserable to be Dubai.

Do you know how much the whole malarkey will cost roughly?
