The first sentence...

The global outlook and recent trends in the UK economy point to significant headwinds for growth going forwards.

One of my least favourites right now - what's wrong with "growth in the future" or "future growth"?

Why not just 'growth', the meaning is perfectly clear.

Hopefully this sort of thing inspires more young people to register to vote.

"crusty",seems to have changed it's meaning without me noticing.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 10:30 am

Whereas "Tory knobhead" remains a constant.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 10:32 am

Expressing itself in slightly different ways perhaps,but the core definition remains.

To be truthful,the other laws are broadly the same.

I would expire before writing the reasons as to why.

It's all part of the master plan for bringing the country together.

Somewhat surprised my brother expressed the same view,given his "slight Tory" personal acclaimation and constant tormenting of my writing Labour leaders names on my schoolbooks and similar when growing up.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 10:48 am

I thought it meant curmudgeon,maybe that's "moved"somewhere else.

Just to improve Brussels relations a Brit beat the Belgian European Champion (at Marathon)in the Brussels half.Ever sporting I started at the back to give the others a chance.

Which 4150 runners took advantage of.

In two minds with the video coverage of.Whilst it is quite cool as proof you did it,the in your head imaginings of reasonable athletic performance or indeed appearance are swiftly removed on viewing when this hard to describe figure with glasses on forehead(it was raining)comes hobbling by behind a one legged horse.

How times have changed with video/chip timing etc.You could quite easily cheat if you knew the route (many double back.on themselves )the Mersey was notorious half hour in the pub and back the other way ,was not that uncommon.

I did get lost on one and unintentionally lose four miles

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 11:17 am

Gained four miles.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 11:23 am

Perhaps,unsurprisingly the one- legged horse was first in it's category.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 11:26 am

Gustav was it's name from Germany,it conversed well in English.Not that I have spoken to many one-legged horses from Germany to compare.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 11:28 am

I think goats boycotted it,I didn't see any present,at least.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 11:30 am

Maybe they had their own event.

Did you get your frites afterwards, that's the most important thing.

I'm afraid my only concern on finishing was to get to my baggage to check my tobacco remained dry enough to restore the necessary nicotine level.They were very generous with giving out things.

Mr Hindle has been busy this morning, I see.

"honest guv".I was lost for a while it didn't improve my time at all.

Hard to explain perhaps how exactly you get lost in a stewarded event of thousands but I did.

But in reality, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire Johnson-Cummings battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.

response to this

Tim Shipman
@ShippersUnbound
Every EU negotiator and member state leader should read this because it’s what is coming. They need to understand how Johnson/Cummings see the world. They won’t back off like May did. Huge potential for miscalculation

Bottom line is that any Brexit deal that emerges will have to be one that is at least minimally acceptable to the EU.

All else is unicorns.

Has anybody ever ordered binders from PE?They send one and then others after 28 working days,or not in my case,I 'phoned and they've redone for the others and back to 28 working days.

AnatolyKasparov · Post by **AnatolyKasparov** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 1:37 pm

PE in this context is actually Etavirp Yee?

Willow904 · Post by **Willow904** » Tue 08 Oct, 2019 1:47 pm

In this household PE is physical education and binders are where you put your looseleaf A4 sheets of paper.

So can't help I'm afraid, but am mildly curious, to say the least.

AK has it.

Maybe I should have waited before sorting out into piles of six months worth and putting on the bed,given it is a fair few years "worth"

Got a year's subscription as an 18th birthday present, that was 35 years ago and have every issue since to this day. Almost fills a big shelf in my place.
