What would the trading agreement be with GB?
What would the EU view on that be?

Brexit managed to damage both the status quo (NI in UK) and a future United Ireland.

Membership of the EU managed to make the border almost invisible as a practical matter, Brexit damaged that and in a future United Ireland the Common Travel area and EU membership would leave the border between Ireland and GB mostly invisible, Brexit makes that almost impossible.

@MoSalahI’m totally devastated. There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it’s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down.

You would think nurses didn't know that is was a famously underpaid profession when they signed up to be one. They are all the same with their loud mouth personalities when I was in hospital. Actually the thought of having to be around nurses makes me want to live a healthy lifestyle to avoid hospitals.

What a horrible comment. It is not fair to tar them all with the one brush. It is like any profession these days

+1    very sad individual to write something like that.

signed up two weeks ago, obvious troll.

I am watching the game on gaago in the US. The picture quality is ok but noticably lower quality than the Liverpool Villa which I just watched also on a streaming service. For those of you watching in Ireland is the picture quality as good as other streaming services or a regular TV image?

13 of those 14 soccer games were World Cup games which only happens once every four years. It was in the winter and the kickoffs were mostly in the evening which would give the viewing figures a boost they wouldn't get in other years.

General discussion / Re: The US$$ as the World's reserve currency

« on: May 03, 2023, 08:47:47 PM »

Reserve currency status usually goes  to the most powerful country in the world. Before WW2 that was the UK with sterling and after WW2 it was the US.

This.

There are a lot of things you can buy with dollars, therefore there are a lot of people willing to buy dollars, therefore USD is the world reserve currency.

from what I read misgendering someone will be a crime and punishable by jail time

That gives us a good indication of the sort of stuff you read.
