Lyon not for me

I have wanted to go to Lyon for a few years. Don't know why I just did.
The third largest city in France, which has all kinds of beauty.
Lyon - Nothing for me.
Full of churches and museums and thats it.
I thought great food - I went to the old town with my son. I had some sausage with potatoes and gravy, very tasty- but it was luke warm.
My son ordered in perfect French steak with no sauce. So because he was British, they thought we will fuck em up! So they gave him sauce. I told them 'NON!' and they had to give him a new steak.
It was lovely apparently.
Bliss for me is Creme Brulee, so I thought let me see what these Frogs can do to tickle the taste buds.
OMG heaven! - except it was freezing cold under  warm layer of melted sugar.
I am no expert, but I don't think it should be served up as if just out of a freezer!.
My son and I went shopping. Now in the Middle East Carrefours is massive with huge hypermarkets.
In Lyon there was a large one but not massive and most people didn't know what we meant by a hypermarket!
So we went into Lyon again, by an expensive taxi and went to the Commercial Centre.
Anyway, after wards we thought it would be nice to sit outside and have some lunch.
I had an over cooked or microwaved chicken, not good!
My son had veal, which had a massive fat around it, like a pork chop only thick and soft. He wasn't impressed.
Also, there seemed to be a huge Turkish/Arab and African immigration.

In the evening we went to Olympique Lyonnais vs Lorient.
Lyon are 6th in the League and Lorient was second from bottom.
We thought we would see lots of goals and how true we were. Only it was 1-4 to Lorient.
Anyway, the new stadium was nice. Behind each goal there is a small platform with speakers. It seems that they have organised crowd boosters. Guys who shout words to the crowd to get them going or to start a tune or clapping of some kind. What was funny was that after Lyon went down by 4 goals one guy started to hurl accusations at the Lyon team. Then after he had finished he started to get the crowd going again.

Lyon people or just the French in general, are rude and ignorant. They just stop in front of you and block your way, or they just push in when you are queuing or ordering. I did nudge a couple of people, just for the sake of it.

So summary of Lyon: Rude French bastards. They will have immigration issues in the future and a shite football team.
Been there, seen it, done it! for good.

The Federal state is rearing its head at last

1. Germany want us to fund 50 bln pounds for pulling out of the EU
2. EU want UK to take 4 years to leave.Why? While we are waiting to leave they get funding and stop us getting rid of red tape, laws and to stop us negotiating Trade agreements while they screw us.
3. The EU seem to be introducing new goal posts because its the UK leaving
4. Spain wanting to get Gibraltar
5. Bet your life the Falklands will come up as well
6. Squeezing Gibraltar and yet they voted to stay in the EU.
7. The EU will bring in new rules, new taxes, new red tape just to fuck us up.
8. The EU say that they can veto anything if any one of the 27 other countries disagree.


All in all this will stink of us pulling out without a EU agreement. However, thats fine we will just have to make agreements with the other 80 odd countries in the world!

Then we fuck their intelligence that we have control of!!!

Just goes to show that this just isn't a democratic region, but a German controlled Federal state.

Brexit becomes a taxation exercise

9 Months since the Brexit was voted for and during this time the EU had a chance to compromise and they didn't. Whether they thought the UK would back out I don't know.
But here are the things I do know:
1. The EU leaders are trying to threaten UK but they have more to lose than we do.
2. Talking about security, which I wrote about, we actually own all of the EU top security jobs
3. UK save 10-13 bln pounds a year to help us fund the 20 bln pounds black hole (minimum).
4. UK still needs to raise taxes to pay and can blame Brexit when they needed a get out from the budget.
5. EU loses 10-13 bln pounds of funding
6. EU has to fund Greece, Italy, Spain etc
7. EU taxes have to go up
8. The EU threatening to make us Brexit for 4 years is actually not in Article 50 as it states 2 years unless UK asks and then all the EU agrees. We won't ask!
9. EU wants to charge us 50 bln pounds. This is not in article 50 which explains how a country can resign from the EU and is on an A4 sheet of paper.
10. This is all about Germany.

So all in all its a taxation issue now.

Why is the EU now being conciliatory with the UK

So in the papers today, the EU negotiator who hates the UK is saying that to have a hard Brexit or no agreement between the UK and the EU will have consequences for the EU.
Why would he say this?

1. UK imports 142 bln pounds of goods from the EU
2. UK exports just 75 Bln pounds of goods
3. UK heads of security dominate in Europe
4. Germany constitution says that they can't fight in a war, which is why they say they want an agreement with the UK
5. We take a large amount of Nuclear waste from Europe
6. They have a BIG black hole in their finances

Enuf said!!

UK economic figures will show a surge

With the pound weak on the foreign exchanges expect a spurt in economic figures and trade.
This will back up the Brexit for a while.

Banks will announce redundancies as they get greedier.
RBS should be closed down by the UK government to pressurise the SNP and their lack of economic decisions and the big black holes in financing an independent Scotland.

EU's security is safe in the UK hands

The EU are stupid people!
Because we are the first and the UK wanting to pull out, they start to threaten about charging us 50BLN pounds, when we should tell them to piss off!
They threaten to be tough.

In the meantime France and the Dutch may have votes themselves whether to stay in.
Of course its a free for all and if they lose their bribes and expense accounts.
Where is will you not be voted, accountable and not audited for corruption.

Anyway, the most stupid of it all, is that there is little talk of security.
Bearing in mind the abysmal intelligence in France, Germany, Brussels, Spain, Italy, they really can't afford to kick the UK in the teeth.
Little is known about the fact that the UK provides the most useful intelligence to the EU and in fact manage most of all the EU security, Cyber space security. In fact it's a Brit that heads the Security section of the EU.

So all it needs is a kick in the teeth to screw all of the EU security and intelligence!!

Worlds apart

I have a totally different sense of humour than the missus. Here is an example that i thought was hilarious and she didn't get it and after explaining she didn't fell it was funny at all!

A man from Courtsend fell out with his in-laws and banned them from entering the house while he was in it. The wife dutifully carried out his wishes until she was on her death bed and then asked sadly, " I've always been a good wife to you, haven't I Jack?" "Yes dar. None better" he replied. "Then I hope that you grant my last request and let our Mary Alice ride in the first car with you at my funeral?" "Alright my dear" he agreed heavily, "But I'm warning you, it'll spoil my fun!"

I took me 5 minutes to stop laughing. She thought I was a moron!
