Nice sentiment.

 

Shame it's not shared by the people who brought you your precious Brexit,

I also intend to Listen to Beethoven's live version of 'Ode to Joy' performed by Dutch conductor Andre Rieu, and accompanied by the Johann Strauss Orchestra. It is an excellent piece of music. 

 

So many great composers, such wonderful food and drink. Europe has it all.

I bought two André Rieu CDs with the glorious Ode To Joy (what an anthem .. puts  UK dismal dirge to shame) and am planning to blast it out and sing (!) along at the hour of doom.

 

As to those 50p,  I will refuse to accept them and insist upon alternative coins.

I get the sentiment, but give it to charity or something - throw it into the sea, don’t make some shop assistants day needlessly more tedious.

Well, you'd better stock up, because -as I said- that sentiment does not appear to be shared by those in charge: https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/tory-mp-andrew-rosindell-bans-french-and-german-wine-from-brexit-celebration-party-1-6484867

Hang on to them a bit, won't be long before Johnson calls for pots'n'pans (and assorted other metallic objects) donations. 

 

Can't build those Spitfires out of thin air, you know

I don't approve of such petty jingoism.

 

It's only ever been the legal and political entity the European Union that I am opposed to - not European culture, the European People's or European food and drink.

Yep, there's definetly a level of smugness and little more than point scoring rather than debate in most of Loob's posts. 

 

I can now see what Tony meant in post #4212:

This is why many people don't bother here any more. Any chance of conversation is met with a salami-sliced response that reinterprets, distorts and misrepresents in order to win some point that the other person didn't make and cares even less about. It's playground hair pulling and definitely not Oxford Union debate.

As Tony indeed posted, this isn't the Oxford Union debate: it's a small regional forum, so I don't know why he, and now you, would expect it to be Oxbridge-grade (and still less so, when details-oriented and -heavy 'Oxford Union' debate in here, soon gets suppressed/shut down by posters with one liner dogwhistles, regular as clockwork).

 

Feel free to elevate the debate anytime you wish. Because of late,  it's not exactly been Fintan O'Toole-esque in here.

Wow just seen Farages final speech and our MEPs waving their little flags (breaking the rules), how childish, how petty, how petulant and sad does it make the UK look? like a nation full of petty children

You got that the wrong way round. The Irish woman was the petty one.  Nigel Farage is correct the UK has proved it is too big to bullied by the EU.

nope, just watched it on youtube, its petulant, cringeworthy, embarrassing and as somebody mentioned about just stinks of jingoistic symbolism
