I will not be celebrating leaving the EU.
Are any of you going to Party the night away ?

Bridgeit Fri 31-Jan-20 11:01:43

I will take a look thanks Urmstongran.

Urmstongran Fri 31-Jan-20 11:00:46

Perhaps ‘Chat’ *Bridgit?

Bridgeit Fri 31-Jan-20 11:00:24

Too not to

Lemongrove I always post on AIBU never sure where else to post, I don’t really fit in, I’m open to suggestions ( if not to harsh?)

Evie64 Fri 31-Jan-20 10:57:54

I'm with Opal and Hetty. Yes, down here in the South West there will no doubt be a lot of people celebrating (ducks under table to avoid abuse). confused

Urmstongran Fri 31-Jan-20 10:48:25

Well said Maggiemaybe!

Not a party but a glass or two of bubbly to celebrate.Why would anyone think YABU Brid ? Entirely our own choice.

Maggiemaybe Fri 31-Jan-20 10:12:33

I didn’t want to leave so won’t be partying. I won’t be sitting around moping either.

Was it Marilyn Monroe who said that sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together?

We’ll raise a glass at 11 o’clock and toast the future.

I shan’t be ‘partying’ although I will tune in to hear what Boris has to say at 10pm. And I must say the spectacle of all those Union flags on Pall Mall was a stirring sight!

Upwards and onwards. I shall look out for a commemorative 50p coin to keep as a souvenir ...
?

Apart from Opal, you all seem a miserable lot. Worry not, the sky isn't about to fall down!

Boeuf bourguignon here followed by tiramisu. French wine and some foreign cheeses.
Just pleased it's all finally decided, though not sorted for years.

I'm off to a double birthday party. It may be mistaken for a Brexit party.

Leavers and remainers will be there. As the decision to leave has already been made 'remainers' seems the wrong term now. What will they call themselves?

My friends and family voted both ways. We respect each other's views, of course, as always (doesn't happen on GN, though, does it?).

No celebrating here - I too remember before we joined and how gradually things got better for us. DGS tells me he cannot think about it as it makes him so angry.

Granarchist Fri 31-Jan-20 09:50:58

OH's birthday today. We are having a pro Europe supper with friends. No Brexiteers will be present. Italian starter/Bavarian main/French pud with Spanish option and European cheeses.

No celebrating. As I posted on another thread, I'll support the Leave a Light On movement and place a candle in the window tonight.

dragonfly46 Fri 31-Jan-20 08:12:44

No celebration here just a feeling of great sadness.

Nortsat46 Fri 31-Jan-20 08:08:16

No celebrations here.
I am sad and disappointed.

NotSpaghetti Fri 31-Jan-20 07:36:05

veganstock - I really do hope not but I fear it too.
There has been a lot of abuse, for sure.

kittylester Fri 31-Jan-20 06:58:04

There will be no celebrations here but an acceptance of the will of the people.

vegansrock Fri 31-Jan-20 06:12:50

People do know that the WA means everything is the same until Dec 31 don’t they? No doubt there will be some beating up of foreigners.

Lucca Fri 31-Jan-20 06:06:08

As it happens I am going out tonight for a friends big birthday and I just hope nobody thinks we are celebrating brexit. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

Caramac Fri 31-Jan-20 01:40:56

No celebrating here. I’m sad.

annep1 Fri 31-Jan-20 00:33:39

I feel very sad. No one I know is celebrating.

Callistemon Thu 30-Jan-20 23:47:15

I may watch Brexitcast transform into Newscast.

Callistemon Thu 30-Jan-20 23:35:18

I will probably be in bed reading my novel.

As I can't change things there is no point in worrying.
