To BONG or not to BONG, that is the question

No it wasn’t, but then leavers are not very good with facts or numbers.

Given that just fractionally under 50% voted to remain and many are deeply upset about it don’t you think that loudly celebrating is rather obnoxious and comes across as being a poor winner?

What was?

FYI, there are NO remainers, only British and Re-joiners

On a serious note
The ‘British’ will become ‘re-joiners’, when they realise that their benefits won’t be paid

No it is not the most celebration worthy thing I can think of in my book, but still pretty good.
Good heavens do you not think it is worthy of celebration? The majority of the UK voting public do. After all they did vote for it and which more importantly also re-established democratic order in the UK. If just that bit alone is not worth voting for I don't know what is.

I think there are a lot of people that voted remain like me that accept the outcome of the vote and just want it over and done with. There's also the issue of how st Corbyn was as an alternative leader, aside from Brexit. So I wouldn't take Boris's big majority as a signal that nearly everyone in the country will be cock-a-hoop that we're leaving and can't wait to get the champers out. And even if we did want to celebrate, I don't think spending half a million quid on what many would see as a provocative gesture towards a trade partner we're about to start important negotiations with is a good idea. It would be cheaper and just as effective to stand on the white cliffs of Dover and bare our arses.

FFS this Brexit Bong and Farage's fireworks saga is getting stupid. Just rise above it, we are off, there's a shed load of hard lifting ahead to be bothered about nonsense like this.

Though she's a figure of hate for some I did think Julia Hartley-Brewer made a good point about Farage's damp squib. Basically how on the one hand can they stop him lighting a sparkler or three when for two weeks around Nov 5th every clown for miles around is letting stuff off at random with zero control or subsequent action. Pisses me off as well as the dog. He's a gundog, fine around guns, knows what's going on by the setup, but a random rocket fizzing up into the sky without warning and even when in familiar and otherwise surroundings confuses the hell out of him. No doubt we are due for the same hassle around Jan31, clowns. Just FRO.

Don't you guys ever get tired of proving what utter morons you are?

I thought we were meant to be moving into an era of empathy and togetherness?

[Murph7355]

Oh dear, Tice and Monchetti both having an idiots' debate on this now.

Tice - it rang on NYE, why not now, why the cost now. Construction contract with delay penalty you oaf.

Munchetty - it's because not everyone voted for Brexit. FFS, get a grip of yourself you drip.


And people think the BBC raises the standard. Pathetic. (On both parts).

Wouldn't playing this be cheaper and more apt?

I think it's clear to see that we are far from together. It's quite amusing to see leave supporters saying we should pull together, celebrate, see this as an opportunity, etc. when quite clearly, people who don't support it aren't just sore they lost, they are seriously worried about the actual consequences of what leaving means. Time will tell and all that but seriously, we are at huge risk of being held to ransom on trade deals and watching our factories close without frictionless trade with the EU. I'll not be raising a glass or listening to Big Ben bong.

Tice really is the ’s aspirational of choice

I wonder where the bits (mechanism) now reside.

I don’t know how much they have disembodied the internals of the structure so far, but I do know what the Project manager is currently thinking and most of it will be unprintable.

[Zirconia]

Right, as it stands then, a boom box with a recording of News at Ten bongs and an extra bong to make up the numbers dangled off a rope from the clock? (that fella from Rank films still available?)

Tired?! Surely it must be utterly exhausting to be quite so utterly supercilious?

[MDMetal]

Clearly people are still mired in the past.... We already voted to leave this should not be a celebration of that past vote but one of the begining of the next chapter, it doesn't ring at midnight on New year's for the year past, it rings for the year future. The fact so many people feel that everything is an attempt to get one over on them shows that the rifts remain bell or no bell, it'll be the next thing that annoys them instead!

Having recently caught up on various threads and bits of social media here and elsewhere I'm of the opinion that either, there are various people on both sides of the debate who are either serially trolling the world solely for giggles, some of them have even declared that, or suffering from a mental condition with the acronym BDS.

BDS, or Brexit Derangement Syndrome is somehow akin to a physical condition IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) where the introduction of a particular concept causes an allergic reaction involving lots of loud and rancid brain farts often followed by a rapid evacuation of unpleasant effluent sometimes via a computer keyboard.

FFS how low can this bar go? Challenging to the world champion limbo dancer.

It'll only get worse, Imagine anything negative after the 31st will be 100% directly brexits fault! Birds pooing on your car, the weather it'll be a never ending stream.

Do you not think its going to be the same from both sides? As you've said, anyone supporting remain will blame Brexit, anyone supporting Brexit will be blaming remainers/The EU. Plus ça change.

Well yes, that bloody seagull that stole my chips yesterday, I'm sure it was squarking with a French accent. We need Jolyon Maugham to scuttle up to Whitby, dress up in a Dracula costume and batter the little sods with his baseball bat. Little feathered tossers.

Not that serious, except the seagulls are a pain in the chips.

Not really, I'll take stock after a year or so but blaming every decision or personal circumstance is pointless and clearly nuts. The decision was made we can obviously take stock and see the pros and cons at a later date but constantly mentioning which way you voted and "I told you so" will just end up you being "that guy" in every office meeting.
