    I will be amazed if we don't get a recession very soon.

    We've neither a government nor an opposition, like some banana republic. (What shape are the bananas?)

    Whatever shape we want them to be, now that we have taken back control of the shape of our bananas!

    If you think it was worth it just to eat a bendier banana, you've slipped up.

    I believe the uk still has Montserrat, Anguilla and the Virgin Islands down there. I wonder can they ramp up banana production to allow us to eat home grown? Probably not.

    By the way, that's fyffe posts in a row referring to bananas.

    Just out of interest, has anyone actually read the regulation?

    While it is high on jargo it's not even remotely as bad as you would think given the level of attention it continues to get. It essentially states not to make available sub standard produce.

    The whole idea always sounded like a myth.

    Did anyone watch Spotlight last night?

    She said this, he said no this will happen, no that will not happen, oh yes it will.

    I did agree that really at the heart this is an English Nationalist thing, they do not give a monkeys about NI. All you read in the UK papers is England this England that, Great Britain Great Britain! The thing is we are not Great Britain never have been, its Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We are part of the UK, but they are all England and Great Britain.

    I did agree with the Sinn Fein guy Villiers is a moron.
