EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Happy Brexit Day everyone, go out and celebrate with a glass of prosecco, champagne, warm flat beer

Chapel Down will be able to call their sparkling wine champagne now.

(maybe in 2021 but probably not)

A bastardy man, With a wide, greasy head,
Set this shitfire ablaze,
Then fucked off to his shed

This part in particular is literary genius

Morning of the final day, 13 hours remain...

Bah.

That poem is genius,love it that the sexism against May gets a mention too.

This 1971 song popped up on my playlist... seems appropriate description of how Great Britain the entity may feel today.

Sometimes I wonder where I'm going Sometimes I wonder where I am I'm
on the road to nowhere and I won't be coming back again

Time changes people People change with time Sands keep falling from
the hourglass and hungry children keep on crying

And I'm so tired And I'm all alone And I don't know who I am And I
don't know where I'm going

Great Society people Pushin' me around They don't care who they're
steppin' on or burying in the ground

And I'm so tired And I'm all alone And I don't know who I am And I
don't know where I'm going

Here's some Brexit memorabilia for you:

Apparently they had made this for the original date, and now they literally printed over the existing stamps using the new date, and released it this way. Available from today.

Oh btw, 1.80€ is what it costs to send a priority letter from Austria to the UK, apparently.

^ that stamp is great.

A guy I know ran some gps art for today

Awwww I loved that account...

That strava route would take phenomenal planning to execute accurately. My attempt to once draw a wheelbarrow ended up looking like a whole doner kebab, fine work Sir.

feeling pretty disappointed that some of my colleagues are planning to go to SPIT wetherspoons SPIT at lunch today.
maybe i'm being oversensitive, but I think it's a quite offensive towards the EU nationals we have working in the office...

Wave a torch round. And cry. It is a sad day.

Wow, no that is not cool.

What do the EU ones think? I'd be spouting expletives and invoking godwin's law all over the office, hello HR! ;)

Massive FOMO seeing grizzly skinheads HAVING THE TIME OF THIER LIFES

Checking next train time into town..

This morning I ran in past lots of the cameras setting up on the riverfront by Lambeth Palace (so the reporters have the HoP in the background).

I was hoping some of them might be filming at the time and was preparing to shout "SSSSTTTOOOOOPPPPPP BBBBRRRRREEEEXXXXIIIIITTTT" as I ran past, but sadly none were.

Great article. A little late tho'
I'm having a break in Essex and was expecting bunting and excitement. Not one of the locals I spoke to mentioned Brexit (everyone mentioned Bamber) apart from one guy in the pub last night attempted a joke about removing his French windows, met with stoney silence by everyone else in the pub. No George Cross flags in any of the 3 villages cycled through
(Goldhanger, and Tollesbury and Tolleshunt D'Arcy)

Sorry, it was "okay then" to @_rp's post with the dancing twats. Only just noticed that you had replied before me.

Ok, it has been resolved.
