You won’t receive any support for the sort of stuff you have been saying to Maw .....
No posters on GN are sexist, you go too far at times Grandad43 and some things you say go beyond the personal.
Stick to politics.

Grandad1943 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:42:52

lemongrove, I believe it was MawBroon who was at first very disparaging to me if you check back.

I only give back what I get and if that person and others do not like that, too bad.

Being a male on what can be a very sexist forum in regard to some who post on here, it is nothing different than what I come to expect.

Also, Lemon as you have seen, I have received much support in the above from the non-sexist members of this forum.

Could be Elegran....could be. However, in my case it is most definitely is not the case.

I firmly believe that the three key questions I asked of the Brexit supporters there are no satisfactory answer to. That is why those questions are not replied to on this forum and elsewhere.

Brexit is at this point in time a disaster for Britain and will remain that way until those questions are resolved.

Oh give it up Grandad43 in posting ridiculous things to Mawbroon you are just making youreslf look foolish, and I can’t see a single poster agreeing with you.

Anniebach Fri 20-Jul-18 18:27:42

Oh an NVQ

Jalima1108 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:22:21

In regard to duel tasking, it is something which is now carried out in many forms in offices today especially with the advance of mobile technology.
In which case, I am so relieved to be retired.

Quite honestly, you think they would be banned on Health and Safety grounds, wouldn't you!!

Menopaws Fri 20-Jul-18 18:21:59

Mawbroon for PM

Grandad1943 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:21:29

MaizieD, that's what I get for duel.....dual tasking.

Of coarse there are those on here that have nothing better to do than pick up on minute things such as that, especially when suffering stress. It is a classic sign of the condition.

Jalima1108 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:20:59

Elegran, I believe there are many throughout the UK that voted for Brexit but now do no acknowledge that they did so.
And for all we know, you could be one of them Grandad.

Jalima1108 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:17:43

Or do you STILL not get it?
No, because voice recognition has its limitations and faults - but I would think that you would still be able to preview posts to check before posting.

Anniebach, recognising stress is a basic section of all work safety training. I achieved my what would now be known as a NVQ two qualification in that subject through my Trade Union education coarse in mid eighties.

Following the above I achieved a higher IOSH overall workplace safety qualification(s) throughout the late eighties and early nineties which included much in regard to workplace stress recognition.

Speech to text software gets a bit confused with homophones, Elegran.

Besides, I thought it was terribly Bad Form on here to point out other posters' errors in spelling, grammar etc.

Jalima1108 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:15:35

Arla imports much of the milk it uses in the products it makes on a daily JIT basis from the EU
That is why I mentioned British made dairy products manufactured from British milk,*Welshwife*.

Jalima1108 Fri 20-Jul-18 18:14:26

Where did I mention glee?
You didn't, kitty - and I checked to make sure before I posted a response to jura.
You said nothing in your post that jura has not told everyone on GN in other posts.

Don't worry.

Elegran Fri 20-Jul-18 18:00:59

Can people with a dual personality challenge one another to a duel? If they fight one another with a sword in each hand, would the duel be too much of a task for one, and would they have to resort to dual tasking? Should both personalities be checking their spelling of homophones like dual and duel?

MawBroon, chilled and happy day with the grandson. It certainly looks like you have not paid much attention to him, judging by your continuous presence on this forum.

Grandad1943 Fri 20-Jul-18 17:47:10

petra, I one hundred percent agree that there are many in Britain who are living in terror of their future employment being destroyed by Brexit.

In that, there are obviously many on this forum and elsewhere that show no concern whatsoever for those persons as they pursue their dream of bringing back a Briton that has not existed in over forty years.

Fingers in ears, head in the sand and lets all jump of the cliff together.

Ridiculous

MawBroon Fri 20-Jul-18 17:45:33

Grandad has to be having a laugh!
Enjoying a chilled and happy day with DGS so please stop trying to patronise me (as if I"d ever have been seen dead working in a H&S office) ??
(Have you got the hang of your spelling of duel and dual yet? )

MaizieD Fri 20-Jul-18 17:37:01

from what you're posting, this is a failure on the part of the EU and not the UK. Whilst ex pats have been living in EU countries, paying into the local economy etc they've been welcome. If this does change it's a prime example of the EU's spite at the result of our referendum to leave and desire to punish us all.

Good Lord, smileless; a perfect example of Leavers hysteria.

The EU is a regulatory entity. Its laws and regulations are intended to ensure smooth running of the Single Market so that the member states can enjoy 'frictionless trade' and be confident that the goods they trade with each other are of a high standard and that purchasers can be confident that what they buy isn't going to harm them in any way.

It isn't a being at all. Attributing emotions to it is just plain stupid.

Negotiations are being carried out according to principles decided by the 27 remaining EU states. They have set their own 'red lines'; one of which being that the 4 freedoms are indivisible. That means that they cannot be split apart. This is not 'spite'; this is member states protecting their interests and the integrity of the Single Market which they benefit from and which we are being forced choosing to leave.

As for EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU, they have been stripped of their rights by a vote which most of them had no influence over whatsoever. It is very telling that you only have concern for what you describe as UK 'ex-pats' (they are actually immigrants, same as any national who leaves their home country to go and live in another country is); the EU nationals who live and work and marry and have families in the UK don't get a mention.

As I understand it, the EU would have been prepared to give UK citizens in the EU the rights that they have always enjoyed as EU citizens. It was May who refused to reciprocate. Had she done so the issue of mutual recognition of rights would have been settled ages ago. But no, she wanted to use EU citizens living in the UK as bargaining chips. We all discussed this 2 years ago and I suppose the conclusions were much as they are now. Leavers didn't care at all that their vote stripped away people's rights and caused appalling uncertainty and stress for EU nationals and UK nationals alike. But now they're whining that UK nationals in the EU may be badly treated because the EU wants to 'punish' us; that that non-sentient legal entity wants to punish us. How absurd can you get....

Anniebach Fri 20-Jul-18 17:35:49

You go too far granddad1943, you have said you forbid staff in your office to post , you also said you show them posts on this forum for their amusement. Do not try to patronise Maw to boost your already inflated ego, you may burst.

This is said with concern for your ego blowing up.

Are you having a laugh ( MawBroon) under stress. I don't know if you've missed it, but there are people on here who are living in terror
