Full David Davis resignation letter here. He takes almost a whole page to say in effect that he sees May’s deal as making us a vassal state.

Well talking of fire fights, David Davis, opened fire on May tonight and resigned. I think his junior Steve Baker has also done so but news channels not reporting it yet. Who next? One thing is for sure if Bojo concludes HMS May is holed below the waterline he’ll be out too soon. Because he’s not the kind of guy to go down with the ship. Tomorrow will be a damn interesting day me thinks.

The Irish border isn’t a problem. Only British and Irish nationals will be allowed to move freely across the imaginary non-existent Eire/N.I. border. All other citizens will know they are not allowed to cross that imaginary border non-existent border and will be good boys and girls and not cross it, unless they want to. See its easy.

Corbyn / McD want to pursue their vision without anyone sticking their noses in. Easier to do out of the EU. Just listening to Gove weasel his way around the questions. He knows the EU will reject the proposals then he can pile in again with his own stance.
I agree 100% that that was probably Gove’s plan but alas he who polishes the tu*d gets covered in tu*d and smells of tu*d. The thoughts I am seeing expressed around the ‘net are that he’s blown any chance of ever becoming leader. After all, no sane Tory would desire to oust May only to replace her with someone who was plainly her tu*d polisher. That would play even worse with most party members and Tory supporters.

I agree 100% but once in No 10 the dynamic changes. At such point he will have far greater authority and be able to impose his (and John D’s) will somewhat more forcefully. Many Tories Brexiteer voters now see him as their only hope of a true Brexit. I’m not sure I can argue against that.
We really do live in interesting times when a substantial number of traditional Tory voters now see the Labour leader as most likely to deliver what they want.

Well, Tippon, if you want JC in the first Post Chequers poll is in. Its an instant trend reversal and from what I’ve heard the ones following are even more dramatic. May is utterly stupid. She only hung on last time because she grabbed Lab votes by promising Brexit means Brexit. Now she losses those and a huge chunk of her core vote which was also overwhelmingly Pro-Brexit. She’ll get hammered harder than Major did in ’97 if the Tories are too stupid to chance course and Leader.
Personally I’d rather that JC did not get in but I’m just as fearful of having a PM who doesn’t have an clue about her electorates desires. I’d have happily accepted a balanced compromise but this plan is not that. My gut instinct was that it was part drafted by EU. The reason I say this is that it includes a phrase only used by the RU, ‘there will be consequences’. Not sure any journo has picked up on this. But language often provides big clues to the identity of a text’s author(s).

Recent Opinion Polls have had the Tories between 3% and 5% ahead re voting intentions for the next election. The problem for the Tories is that Tory voters are vastly more likely to be Pro-Brexit than against it. The number of Conservative Party members and voters declaring on the ‘net, since May’s Deal was revealed that they feel betrayed and will not vote Tory again is substantial. Card carrying members are cancelling their DD’s. Others have said they will join UKIP or any True Brexit party that is started. Others are simply saying that they will simply abstain at the next GE. If I were a Tory MP with a majority sub-2,000 I would feel very vulnerable indeed today. The mood afoot seems to be punish the Tories for a betrayal. A pet phrase has even been coined. its ‘Traitory’ (Tory plus Traitor). Many seem especially furious that she showed Merkel the plan before even showing her own cabinet. Which to me certainly seems beyond the pale if its true.
While a lot of it is undoubtedly folk blowing off hot air the Brexit issue is, as we know, highly charged emotionally and I suspect that a significant number will follow through. If even one twentieth of the intentions being voiced turn into reality Corbyn will win the next GE by a landslide exceeding Blair’s of ’97. So folks I suggest Gold. Because if he gets in expect a run on the pound just as quick as the way the Brexiteers in the Cabinet ran away from their own pledges when May said Boo! to them. Could it end up that she has done for the Tories something to exceed that which Clegg did for the Liberals – Decimation. Can’t wait to see the first Voting intentions poll after this weekend.

It is still there, John. Remember its a Thinkcentre E Series not a Lenovo E Series, That’s why I put it in bold when I first gave you the link. If you choose Lenovo E Series you only get E30. BTW once you get to the E50 page if you go to the top you can get the Hardware Manual for your desktop if you don’t already have one its worth having.

Glad to hear you are sorted, John. But just a tip for the future. On that Lenovo page I gave you after you get to the E50 page the second drop down menu allows you to choose your OpSys – for example, Win7 32 bit or Win7 64bit, Win8, Win 10, etc. Are you sure you selected the correct OpSys because you should not have got any XP only drivers on the list that resulted.

The page you need, John, is Lenovo EOL support. Its here. Just select Desktops, Thinkcentre E Series and then E50.

It seems to me that a subscription model is doomed to failure in the long term if not in the short term. We are an ageing band with the majority of us having entered or entering the years when the lights can and often do go out unexpectedly. Males enter those years around 55. Hence, subscription would only ever be likely to progressively fall over time, even assuming it was sufficient in the first place.
The real problem is surely that of user numbers. Alas I cannot see a way to grow user numbers because this forum does not uniquely fulfil any particular niche in the market, so to speak. It is unique only to the members it currently has and simply because those users have developed a special rapport with each other and sense of community over many, many years.
I do value greatly and am indebted to Lee for the valiant effort that he has put into helping this community to continue to this point in time. But if our community is to continue I simply cannot see that this forum is the right vehicle for it to do so.
Most importantly and entirely objectively I am not sure I can with my hand on my heart encourage him to commit more time and effort to a project that if we are all brutally honest we know is of its very nature inevitably in terminal decline. It was worth a try but if user numbers haven’t leaped by now they never will. I also feel a sense of guilt because I am certain that we have all already placed on Lee an unfair burden. I have no doubts that if he did not feel an obligation to us all he would have closed this project before now because logically it makes no sense whatsoever, does it?

Meanwhile politicians seek solutions. Former UKIP politician Janice Atkinson has called for the death penalty… for suicide bombers :wacko:

Obviously autonomous pacemakers are safe but some cardiac patients are at risk where they are wifi linked to hospital monitoring systems. For example, some people with sporadic and potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias are actively monitored around the clock. First sign of a serious arrhythmia developing and the monitoring tech officer phones them and despatches an ambulance to their location wherever they may be. There are other remote patient monitoring systems and if the hospital systems go down then you are on your own !

I thought it might be that the song title doesn’t appear in the lyric, but that doesn’t apply to Stranger on the Shore.
Give that man a Gold Star. He got it quicker than I ever did………oh and a Silver Star to Dave R for confirming the kill. :good:
BTW the lyric’d version of Stranger on the Shore never made No. 1 only the instrumental did.

Unchained Melody has been covered so often by so many artists. Some made No 1 in the USA and some in the UK.
To give folks a clue that may lead to the answer, Stranger on the Shore, could also be added to the list.

That’s what I thought too Jason when I first heard the question but that’s not it.

This a bit at a tangent to the thread but still in the same ball park. It had me baffled when I was first asked it – Unchained Melody, Albatross and Bohemian Rhapsody were all Number 1’s but what do they have in common?
