I've been known to kick out whilst asleep before, although I've never hurt myself doing that.

Brexit preparation and I'm not kidding

Broken leg.
My tripod leg jammed then with a bit of physical persuasion fell off. I did manage to fix it and nothing was actually broken.

Getting hacked off with it all now, roads are all clear first thing, then choked up on way home. Also ... every conceivable slip road, parking spot, lay by, side road, car park, even escape lanes!! has a foreign lorry in it, if brexit solves all this .... bring it on.

Eejit drivers.

There seems to be a lot more of them around and causing more havoc than ever; They need to turn right, so they put them selves in the left lane. They've missed their turning at a roundabout, they don't go around it, (despite it being a circle) they just stop and try to force their way over.

Or maybe i just have a super power and only I am able to see and read all the road signs to know where i'm going, what lane goes where and what the speed of the road is . . . . .

It's likely to get worse after Brexit, not better I'm afraid

- Exactly, and that is just the start. Who knows what other disruption and chaos lies ahead.
There will be some benefits of Brexit - won't there ???!!!

[DJ123]

They'll be no benefits/very few for everyone/every country affected by Brexit. It'll either all stay the same, or increased costs for all.
They didn't balance the books very well with the outcome/income of being in the EU . . . As they said it's already cost us more the past 3 years trying to deal with it than what we would have paid to it. Let alone the FX rates - anyone remember when it used to be circa 2USD to 1GBP, or 1.5EUR to 1 GBP . . . .

I don't think there was any book balancing. Brexit is purely because of the civil war within the Conservative Party. Cameron wanted to be (stay?) leader of the party, they were panicking over Farage/UKIP so to shut the rebel faction down he promised the referendum to get their support.
Promised to lead the party whatever happens; then quit. Then the next promises started, some painted on the bus, the NHS money, the "oven ready" deal...

My MP wouldn't take the bet that BoZo will concede by New Year.

There are lots of benefits of Brexit - the government can make a few bob by selling your personal data to China, we can get cheap chlorinated chicken from America, and you won't need to own up to that stash of cash you have in the tax haven.

It's a win-win!
