You have surpassed yourself here Cucking!

Will you commence the reclamation of Empire by leading a one person re-invasion of Mesopotamia (Iraq) to reactivate the mandate,start a new opium War in China to get back the "treaty port" of Shanghai ,or perhaps hide in a container of tea headed for Boston to sort those damn uppity Yankees out?

There was no 'bender talk' so Football talk seemed appropriate.

Oh sorry to hear that Hoof, but you can go on for ages with Parkinsons -great drugs available now..you are right though, a Palace win in the fa cup would cure all kinds of ailments. Never something i expected to see in my lifetime.........
....you will be remembered fondly i assure you especially by those lucky nieces and nephews, i expect they have 'told' you they are voting out.....'yeah right!!!'

Ok so i have spent my day going through the conveyancing which i had to do because this is a large chunk of change for me. I also kept a little eye out for the 40% nay 70% of eu law. I had to go through a few covenants, building contracts and a niggly border dispute with a neighbour who was throwing the book at my vendor because of a 3inch intrusion from a planter ffs!!. At the end i spoke to my lawyer and said i had a few wording changes but nothing significant. But i could have asked (from davemonkeys advice) hang on what about the european credit mortgage thingy but knew he would reply with "listen Johnyboy stop talkin out of your elbow, you are not even arranging a mortgage" and that would be something with the mortgage company, not conveyancing right? Right so i didnt ask. But then i thought i better tell Paul (cos he has done my legals for 20 years) ....but Paul surely atleast 40% nay 70% of this contract is missing because i cant find any mention of the eu cross border underpants law or any other eu law for that matter. I am sure that there may be some overarching eu law that protects consumers and prevents unfair practice but i honestly could not find one. So what should i do with davesmonkey advice .....i should maybe ask Paul but you can probably imagine his response. You know what i should probably change my lawyer for being too uk centric.
But ....in defence i do have a credit agreement for my mobile, although all the key stuff is ofcourse under uk law of contract but again there is an overarching agreement under eu law that will force mobile companies to lower their roaming charges but surely thats a good thing right?
And then i thought about 6 months ago i had to do jury service and sat on 3 jurys and i swear not once did i hear any mention of eu laws in the charges that the 3 defendents faced....although again there are some overarching pesky european human rights laws right? Well youd probably hope so? But it remains true to say 99% oc my day to day experience of legal matters are completely unaffected by eu law.
And then i just thought this 40% nay 70% claim distorts the so called facts.
Take Hoofs example that we will all be living under Sharia law if we vote remain. I took it as a joke hence my shiraz reply...it was a joke right? But what is happening is that we taking these extremely remote possibilities and using this to push their case. Some could say that there is also a possibility that Hoof will have a sex change, start supporting Brighton and start dancing classes. Highly unlikely in my opinion and i know he will calling me silly and facetious (should actually take it as a compliment Hoof cos i think you are the least likely poster on here to start dance classes)....but it is not impossible is it. But then if i start using this tiny possibility as the basis for my case, i should be told that i am at best exaggerrating or actually being completely misleading or even offensive. And so it is with all this legal talk of 40% nay 70% of our laws coming from the eu and i will bet any of you 50 lap dances (your up Hoof -first gig) if you can tell me that in your DAY TO DAY experience of legal matters you are severely or negtively impacted by eu law. I defer to my more learned legal friends ofcourse!!

We can't ignore EU legislation but we can certainly challenge it. Any doubts about the EU's legitimacy for making a particular piece of legislation because it does not meet a Treaty objective then national courts can suspend the domestic measures which implement it and an amendment will be made by a respective Act of Parliament.
