No ...<i>"Is Brexit even going to happen???"</i><br /><br />No clue really.<br /><br />I've even taken to reading Guido Fawkes just to keep up with the events and I still can't figure out whether it'll happen.<br /><br />Right now I think it's like this:<br /><br />The Right Honourable Chorus of Remoaners: <i>"We have court rulings and loud nagging voices and this means you have to negotiate a deal or else."</i><br /><br />Mister B the Gentleman Prime Minister: <i>"Since there is no law directing me to do so, you can take your poxy court rulings and loud voices and have them stuffed and mounted, and as for your 'for else', have that stuffed and mounted as well."</i><br /><br />But that was a few days ago, anything and everything could have happened since then. :-)<br /><br />Also ... there was an international pronoun day and I missed it???<br /><br />That means there are now TWO April Fool's Days!<br /><br />Talk Like A Pirate Day is a much better holiday anyway. :-)Post Alley Crackpotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-21095883055504430852019-10-21T00:47:48.865-07:002019-10-21T00:47:48.865-07:00Yeah, I agree, the point is it's so difficult ...Yeah, I agree, the point is it's so difficult to tell online.

Anyway, I think most shilling happens in English since it's the modern lingua franca and that's how you reach the biggest amount of people and most of these individuals are or pretend to be Americans.
