So he forgot to respond because he was away and has a life outside of NSC. You reminded him and he responded. It's hardly Watergate, is it
So what are you now backing, Chequers or No deal ?

Jeez I may well of doneI have incorrectly overestimated the British public's sense in the past, anyway you have a better memory of what I said than me, or even my girlfriend.
What you cannot recall that you forecast a 60%/40% Remain win on a Brexit thread, not even an inkling ......... ??
Obvious? Why was it obvious? Yes I took 5 days to reply and to be fair your post did make me crystallise my thoughts but that’s all. It’s not a topic I shy away from; why would I? [MENTION=33622]Chips[/MENTION] posts weren’t that difficult to reply. I doubt he thought mine were either. And it wasn’t a “robust” debate either.
Now, if you want my opinion, it’s you who forgot [that I had replied]....and are now trying to dig yourself out of the hole you have made.
I have been completely transparent, even referencing the exchange. I’ll let everyone else judge who’s the twit here.

To be fair, I remember a past debate I had with BigGully which must be some years ago now. (Although i suggest mine is a little more memorable

Pipe down and go and get ready for your lunch date
It's quite a nasty trope of the more aggressive Brexiteers on here that they rarely deal with what is in front of them but drag up old stats and posts to try and discredit other posters. Westdene Seagull, Pasta and you all do it. Far more disturbing and aggressive than calling someone a prick, IMHO of course.

We've got to reach no deal territory first in my opinion. The Chequers proposal will have to be watered down from it's current form for The EU to agree and it's then a question of whether that, if anything at all, comes back and has the numbers to get through Parliament. The ERG, devoid of any realistic proposal of their own, were severely embarrassed this week and shown up to be the cranks they are. Although damaged they're nowhere near defeated though. We'll have to see what the conferences bring now too, particularly Labour's and what, if any, motions get debated on Brexit and another vote. The next tranche of no deal technical notices in a few weeks will be interesting too - customs, aviation and citizens rights abroad among other things - and it was The ERG who wanted these produced and released to show we mean business on the 'no deal is better than a bad deal' nonsense.

Now that you mention it i do recall saying that, or something like it, however that was 30 months ago, and I didn't until you mentioned it! Also that post would have been somewhat facetious, although I obviously recall thinking that a remain vote would win.
That's honestly his argument? That almost three years ago you thought remain would win? That's his big argument? He's good isn't he.
He’s getting a bit creepy.
Verging on Pastafarian levels of research!

Perhaps those boots Theresa Villiers was wearing were bullet proof?
On a serious note, if anybody needed a contemporary example of why there is still such a widespread dislike in so many quarters in Ireland of the English, they only had to watch that presentation on Wednesday of the Irish told what needs to happen in Ireland.
On a lighter note, I did think Owen Paterson on Newsnight explaining their proposal and saying: "Look! We're trying to do The EU a favour!" was comic genius.
To be fair to him, at least he then usually gets his facts right when it comes to other people’s posts. Although that doesn’t make it any less weird.
True. And I suppose they are relevant, unlike Pasta's penchant for digging up personal stuff rather than anything related to the actual topic.
"Yes, but what do you think a No Deal would mean for international driving licenses"?
"You once said you weren't Nibble"
I see.
Anyway. I have other stuff to do today so will probably not be back until tomorrow. Please note I am not shying away from anything, I genuinely do have stuff to do.
