To my shame, I'd forgotten it was one of his lines.

Well hello there. With all this doom and gloom going on I thought I'd best see if there was a spare chair and a cuppa on the go.

As far as AB goes the only positive comments I've heard were from Lord Digby Jones, did anyone else see his interview?

Hello PIC I'll shift over and you can share mine, we'll find a cushion and I'll make sure there's an extra mug ready for the tea!!!

...and I can do some very nice chocolate brownies to go with it:D.

....as long as you don't mind 100% healthy ingredients - cocoa powder, date syrup, sweet potatoes, egg, ground brown rice.

There's been compliments from the people I've shared this with so far ITRW.:)

Re: Boris and Gove, apparently they had breakfast with Lynton Crosby this morning, according to a tweet by Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC News website.....

There is a lot of despondency around in the aftermath of the referendum result, it feels as though the whole 'establishment' is in free fall and there is no hand on the helm doesn't it. The media seem to be trying to give the impression that those who voted leave are now in an absolute quandary because they now feel it was the wrong choice. I don't believe that for one second, if people voted leave it was for a strong conviction that whatever the out come it had to be better than letting the status quo remain.

As to older people having ruined the future lives of our youth, I was talking to a village friend this lunch time and she is in her mid 80s and is absolutely furious because she voted vehemently for remain, she is just as aghast and dismayed as every 18+ at the leave result.

Hi again Just back from my appointment to have an injection, and am enjoying banana bread and a wee cup of tea. It is so yummy too Popped into the local library before the appointment and am home with four lovely books to enjoy reading. I must always have a book on the go, as I adore reading. Listening to the comments while waiting re. the referendum, interesting My dh and I just feel that whatever happens we will roll up our sleeves and get on with it. We are sad to hear about many incidents where people are being verbally attacked because of where they are from and I hate to see that. I was ill in December and was in hospital in Belfast and was treated by a lovely nurse from another country and she was so kind and caring to me. There were also two young men who worked on the ward bringing meals and doing other tasks and were such nice hard working people. They all love their jobs and some had families too. I was just thinking there have been many incidents of people being targeted over here way before the referendum, and it has sickened us to hear it. I fear there will be more......

Never mind despondency. It's a bally mess. Markets in freefall, political parties in freefall, reports of racist incidents...Then our Nigel goes and makes things worse by telling the EU mob they never had had real jobs... Cheers Nige. You were actually getting a few claps (along with the jeers) till then.. Don't ever become a hostage negotiator will you? Then Scotland and NI make a plea for special consideration because they lurv the EU and don't want to leave. Sob...And now we have Spain eyeing up Gibraltar and talks between Scotland and Gibraltar... ....
Naturally this mayhem is feeding into the rhetoric of certain pro EU media who are actually talking up some of the storm. Not that they are short of ammunition.
My head hurts.
PS I actually do believe that enough will have been sufficiently frightened by the aftermath to reverse the vote - if there was a second referendum. Also that Boris really didn't think it would go this far.

I've never posted on this site before, just a long time lurker. I just wanted to thank Pineapple for summing up exactly how I feel about everything at the moment "Shell-shocked" doesn't even begin to cover it. My head hurts as well.
