Politics Thread (encompassing Brexit) - 21 June 2017 onwards

Mixed her up with a call girl. -
I'll stick with Kodi for now. Did watch a couple of vids where they were saying some providers were being scared off by letters they received so it is going to get worse. Then you need VPN and other security measures. Is it worth the hassell? Would like to give Amazon Prime a go. There are other benefits which may be useful. I want to revise my books on Amazon so going to reprice them for the minimum and you can offer the Ebook free. With the fast postal service I can order some and sell locally and give out to charity shops. Not bothered about making money out of them. Gave up with that idea and i am already retired. Terry Pratchett said A book isn't finished until someone else has read it. Well mine are finished and thats good enough for me.

Yes A day pass £6 2 days £10 not bad if you watch all weekend games but I watch in a pub usually. You can get it on Kodi but have to join the club. Expect thats the years subscription.

Just watched the first episode of American Gods on Kodi. Played Ok for a change. May take a look at showbox. Only watch football and wanted it for City games.

Thanks Webbo. Could I have the app on more than one device? Thinking of a PC and tablet app then maybe get a Fire7 later soly for the purpose of videos from Amazon. Kodi is annoying. Takes ages to find something and often poor quality. Used to be OK but the providers are having more restrictions and rules put on them.

Cant see a USB but there is a PC connecter.

Just a quick question about Amazon Prime. I was chatting on a terry Pratchett page on FB and the adaption of his book Good Omens (with Guiman) and for a start it is just on Amazon. Found out it is £7.99 a month and you are supposed to have access to all channels. Does this include sport? I looked on google app and it says you have to subscribe to some channels. I have a Kodi for my PC but it is getting worse for streaming. Amazon Prime has a 30 day trial then £9.99 which I am in a better position to afford. The tablet Fire7 is £45. I do have a tablet I can use but one just for Amazon TV and film might be better but not straight away. Not sure how to connect a fire stick or if my TV is compatable. Only have one scart socket so dont know which device is best. Will it take space up on my pc?

I watched Star Trek Continues on Toutube. It is a follow up to the original series and concludes the five year mission they were on. It was done by fans actors writers etc at their own cost and donations. There was just 11 episodes and finished where the crew returned home and went their own ways. Thought it was pretty good. the acter who played Kirk also produced and wrote some scripts. He said he grew up with ST and at 10 was glued to the TV watching in B/W so he knew exactly how it should be to give the feeling of TOS.

I wonder what his next gaffe will be? 'Ooops!!! Doya know when I said do nuke China? I should have said do not nuke China. I misread my statement and it was only when I turned on the news that I realised I had made a little mistake. Sorry and I hope noone was vaporised too much.' On Facebook I have had people on my timeline that they would like him as PM. I know May is the worse thing since shit sandwhiches but Homer Simpson would be a better choice for a replacement. The man is a habitual liar. You can tell when he is lying when his mouth is open. When his bowells are open is when Fox News are lying for him.

Looks like I've had 2 exact scores. Don't know how I missed nearly an entire round though. Sure I picked them. Gone for 2-1 for both games. QF 2 right results wrong score one right score wrong team (Belgium) one wrong Cro V Russia. Not sure about france belgium france win or 1 1 but belgium are decent on a good day could surprise. and gotta go for England out of loyalty but wont be easy.

Isn't politics fun atm? It's like a game of musical chairs with spikes on the seats. Cameron promised an EU vote to get back in power but it backfired as he never thought that there would be more people believing the misleading Brexit arguments than the misleading remain arguments. So he jumped ship before the rats and before the shit hit the fan with a nice wad in his backpocket. Is it any wonder people don't take politicians seriously? What a shambles. -
Skier I'm sure some people just look for typos. If it makes them feel better that's fine by me. It takes all the relevance out of posting though when a typo is more important than the content.

I was on for an exact score until Columbia scored. I have all the same score for the QF/ Surely one must be right. Will prob get right score wrong teams knowing my luck
-
Thanks as it tells me you dont think I have any knowledge either. Although you could be right. Accordinh to the stats there were some default picks. I'm sure I picked them all. I had England for 2-2 v Belgium.

I saw where a spokesperson was asked what the president thought of his election campaign manager being arrested. She replied the President's election campaign manager has nothing to do with his election campaign.' I wonder what would happen if we had visitors from another planet who contact the World leaders offering technology that would benefit all Mankind. Trump would probably have them nuked then build a wall to stop any more entering our atmosphere and then eat the survivors.

I see they have asked Trump to help with his appeal, If that fails they have the brain of Britain to help out with the research.

Saw a couple of videos about the border removals. One was a late news on a news program and the news reader was unable to carry on reading the repoet. Another showed a pgoto journalist reporting. A mother was asked to put her baby girl on the floor who then started crying. there was one though probably a trump supporter news channel that said it was lies and the images were not at the border. although trump said a few days ago there was no policy to help the children and now says there is. funnily enough the one saying its false was sent to my timeline on fb from someone who got it from a jacon rees mogg support page. the stuff on there is very bigotrd. not sure even jacob rees mogg would approve of some of it and i cant stand him. Also saw a report where there were people on the streets near to where the centres are. one group went into a restaurant where one of trumps campaign supporters was eating and chased him out shouting if the kids aint eating you aint

Has this been posted yet? I have kept out of the debate on here as I know little about cannibis and have no intention of taking it. Although my neighbour gave me a tiny piece from a plant pot he had. Not enough to have any affect. It was likr straw. Anyway this was on Facebook. A man with Parkinsons was given some. The change in him was remarkable. I have also seen posts where people have taken medicine which contains something similar ECB or something. they said it was expensive and open to abuse by dealers so is wary of buying it. If it was available from the doctor then it would remove the risk of having dangerous doses from dealers.
