Does he run around with his eyes perpetually closed when with you or without?
In my opinion that would be the n'th degree of influence.
Francois ... .myself and mr Suphot have been together 17 years now and it's hardly my weirdnesses which he copies.
For instance: he's got no compunction at all with running around the home naked ~ and yes, I like that.
But when it comes to putting on his underwear, he always wraps himself in a bathtowel first then slyly pulls them on. Every single time.
Go figure. It's quite charming really.
Justaguy. OK. Wallonia has a population of 3.5 million and they were able to block an entire deal between 29 nation states. That sort of proves my point. So far we've heard lots of grandstanding by various European leaders and virtually nothing from Theresa May. That sits just fine with me. The Netherlands might not be that far behind The UK in deciding to leave.
Scottish Guy and I will disagree on this but I think Scottish nationalism is on the retreat, for quite a few different reasons. I don't know how mugged up you are on The UK constitution but leaving is not Scotland's decision to take by themselves. They need the permission of Westminster to hold yet another referendum and that won't happen for a long time, if ever.
Actually I doubt the Netherlands would leave the EU, that would be even more stupid. Apart from one party (the Populist party of our resident xenophobe) none of the other political parties are in favour of such a move, hence there won't be any referendum anytime soon either.
Sometimes the electorate needs to be protected from their own stupidity. Leaving the EU would be disastrous for a country such as the Netherlands.
Seems this thread is wandering off the track with discussion on EU, Brexit, etc.
I do believe it was cdnmatt who switched his own post onto a different track some time back.
