I sometimes wonder if Spud is a parody account, but I suspect he's serious. He's probably a hen-pecked, weedy character who's got a dead-end job writing boring computer programs for customers he hates but doesn't dare argue with. His fear of flying restricts both his work and pleasure. His misspelt writings here are to compensate for his frustrated real life. Wrong on every account apart from the boring computer programs. Its hard to make financial programs interesting to be quite frank. OTOH my "dead-end" contracting jobs usually pay 6 figures so thats fine by me. Remind us what is it you do for a living? Oh thats right, nothing, you're "retired". But you fly halfway around the world to watch trains and you call me sad. -- Spud |

The EU wouldn't give a damn about legal squabbles here, once its triggered its a done deal as far as they're concerned and all legal challenges would have been moot. Wrong again. If the Supreme Court had decided, even after the fact, that May didn't have the power to give notice, the European Commission would have accepted that decision. Unlike some people here, they actually have respect for the law. The commission would have no obligation to respect the decision, they are not bound by any judgements made the UK supreme court. As for "the law", its not the laws of nature, its not invioable, its just a load of words that people decide to abide by at any given time. Its easily changed where there's a will. Indeed - this reminds me of these lines by Sir John Harrington: Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason ? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason. |

British forces bases abroad are british sovereign terrority, so no, they arn't. Assuming they are on British bases in the first place. Well, another way of looking at is that people in the forces don't usually have a choice of where they're posted so I'm sure an exception can be made for them and their children. Its not the same as someone who chose to go abroad and have their children born there is it Mr Feather? -- Spud |

What about several of my friends who were born in Germany whilst their parents were posted there with the british Army? Anna Noyd-Dryver |
