You can slice and eat both an Apple and a Pear - they both grow on trees, can be used for making cakes and puddings etc. So except for a shape and taste very much Apples and pears - the comparison is valid I would say 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Unbelievable! Who'd have think it!! Breaking news... '' I’m sorry to inform everyone on here who has supported the England rugby team in the World Cup today but New Zealand have requested another game to be played as the result was too close to call and they had players waiting to play who weren’t quite old enough, so now the World Cup needs to be put on hold for the foreseeable future until a new date can be arranged for a rematch. A minimum 90 day delay has been requested, but this could be a flextension that could last for years. It has been suggested that shipments of New Zealand lamb could be affected by the result leading to serious lamb shortages on the shelves in the UK. This should make us think again about accepting this unfair result. No one knew this before the game concluded and it could have altered the result. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the England team were offered large financial inducements, in the form of win bonuses, if they were to reach the final. There have been calls to have these fully investigated to establish the source of the inducements while the delay is in place. In other news: some of the other teams have now objected to the terms of the final and have insisted that the final is delayed until NO WIN is taken off the table. These opponents of NO WIN have rejected calls that this should be put to a formal vote of any kind before their demands are ratified! '' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'' In other news, The 'New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup Party' have stated that, if they get enough support, then there is no need to replay the game as they would declare the game void and award the World Cup to New Zealand without any more games taking place. But until they get enough support, they will back a replay but only accept the result if New Zealand win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing because he doesn't want the extension, more interested in a GE, then he'll hopefully have a proper majority and be able to govern properly.

With a bit of luck he's hoping to not surrender the UK to the EU army and other such trappings that have been screwed onto the magnet of free trading arrangements that are useful to us. And get a mandate from the people rather than just the conservative party to stand up for GB LTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Quote Boris apparently has the numbers for his bill. Why is he not bringing it forward?
