   This is it, the month where either Brexit happens, deal or no deal, or Johnson is forced to extend. Join us for the rollercoaster, it won't be as pleasant as this:  John Brown posted:Had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife, or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right; and every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment. In The News  • In a speech outside 10 Downing Street, Boris Johnson states his opposition to calling a general election, and urges MPs not to vote for "another pointless delay" to Brexit. • The government loses its majority in the House of Commons after Conservative MP Phillip Lee crosses the floor to join the Liberal Democrats. • MPs opposed to a No-deal Brexit take control of House of Commons business by 328 votes to 301. Johnson responds by telling MPs he will now push for an October general election. • Boris Johnson withdraws the whip from 21 Conservative MPs who voted against the government, including several former Cabinet Ministers and Father of The House, Ken Clarke, who had served as a Tory MP since 1970. • A bill intended to block the possibility of the UK leaving the EU without a deal passes its first Commons vote by 329 to 300. • All this happens within under a week, the rest of September is marked by Johnson losing 7 consecutive votes and a Supreme Court ruling. • lmao • Lib Dems also exist and Prince Andrew has denied his noncing. • ??? days until Brexit. • Planet's dyin' Cloud. October had tremendous possibility. The summer's oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles.

Also after discussing it with CB and amongst ourselves, we’ve decided we won’t punish people just for mentioning pissflaps anymore as long as it doesn’t cause an extended derail. What constitutes “an extended derail” is up to interpretation.

There's a place in Florida that makes chicken curry burritos. They're amazing and as far as I can tell that's the only thing the state of Florida has going for it.

Processing what's happened is going to take a lot out of you, and of course you have to be able to take the strain for your missus too.

I just want to have it noted for the record that I made the final non-Guava post in last month's thread, which is about as high an achievement as my ruined life can hope for these days. Still, birthday tomorrow!Angepain posted:Absolutely smashingly! We're getting on with it and securing a great deal to deliver the brexit the people demanded. All is well and Great Britain is thriving. Rule Britannia! send help *Blinks "send help" in Morse Code* Kin posted:Just called the hospital and the surgery went well. No complications. I'm very glad to hear this. I'm so sorry things worked out this way but I'm really happy everything went as 'well' as could be expected. Get what rest you can tonight. And Marx bless the NHS and the folks who work in it doing vital work right through the night.
