Yeah, I mean I know Berlin and recently Hamburg extremely well, i’m slowly learning the language and I’m applying to do my masters this year while I still can and buy that time to assimilate myself properly, I’m sure it will be great, it’s just a big scary move happening in an ugly context with potentially dire consequences

it’s alright mate, you’re a british emigrant, you don’t need to bother learning the language. that’s only for the ones who move here, innit?

[Severed799]

I know you’re joking but there is some resentment elsewhere about not learning the language, it’s just not even close to vitriolic

[Icarus-Smicarus]

just a reminder that these people are winning:

Easter®Watch (EasterWatch)

[Icarus-Smicarus]

Never heard of him.

A colleague posted this on FB. It begins!

‘A Dublin taxi driver just told me he took a fare this morning from a man who’d missed a job interview because all Belfast to Dublin buses are being stopped for up to an hour for passport checks’

not heard anything about this so pretty sceptical of it tbh. standard taxi driver bullshit most likely.

I Googled and he’s from a soap apparently. I don’t watch soaps.

Hey, how YOU doin’?

These days, if you say you’re English, you get arrested and thrown in jail

Everyone knows who Muhammad Ali is, though. This guy clearly isn’t all that. I’ve heard of famous soap characters like Ken Barlow and the Mitchell brothers.

“If Brexit is a failure then it’ll be because of you & all the other remoaners being negative”

Can someone help me with this? My brain literally cannot compute or process this statement. Is there a hidden mystical logic here or is this string of loosely joined words just an indication of some deep malfunction in understanding cause & effect & chains of consequence

??
It seems a popular sentiment among leavers though, that’s for sure

[littlebirds]

“My opinion is always right.”

That’s about the end of it, isn’t it?

Sounds like we could have a game of Theo tries to identify the soapstar. I’m in.

[thewarn]

We’ll bum them out, so they’ll make un-strategic decisions

[Aggpass]

Isn’t it the same argument everyone on here made about the PLP re: corbyn

[1101010]

I’d possibly have the edge on naming actors rather than characters.

Apart from the whole right-wing press being pro-brexit and controlling the narrative, whereas the PLP had the whole press being anti-Corbyn and controlling the narrative, yeah.

[1101010]

Yeah, I recognise Dirty Den. I don’t recall the actor’s name in this case.

[Meatsqueak]

Nice. I’ll make another thread.
