Do a bit of research on the radiation they give off before purchasing....

To be sold in the EU, it must have a CE certification and as its a RF transmitter needs to also have R&TTE Certification, also to EU specification.

Unless you're buying from Ali express, then you should be fine.

Not sure if this is common knowledge but there are two CE marks;

The legitimate CE stamp for quality and
CE China Export (not a quality marking, just a sneaky way of fooling the man on the street)

There is a slight difference in the spacings of the C & E that is the giveaway.

The question is what were the DUP promised or paid to back the leave side, and who were the pay masters. I don't think this had anything to do with the border as Foster is not stupid she would have known what an exit from Europe would mean. Its maybe a bit of a coincidence that the queen is over here at the minute and i would not discount the fact that the royal establishment pushed for an exit.

Foster knew what it would mean, a border and disruption of cross border trade and although such trade is very important in her own constituency she still went for it.
As for QEII , she too must have known that Leave would kick things off in Scotland and she previously was presumed not to be too keen on the Scots doing their own thing.

Are they both mad? QEII has the excuse of being 90, what's Arlene's excuse?

Meanwhile another dodgy female, Villiers, has stated that NI will not get special treatment   and "I believe we can keep a border which is as open and free-flowing as it is today,". This combination is only possible if they scrap the whole Brexit thing.

I watched the Spotlight programme with her interview on it. Cringey viewing, the woman was clearly deluded, how the hell do you keep a free flowing border when immigration was one of the main reasons people were voting for a Brexit!?

She kept harping back to the common travel area or whatever its called and failed to address the fact that it worked because both the UK and South have both either been IN or OUT of Europe. There hasn't been as time when one was in and one was out.

How will Spain voting to leave the Euro sort out their unemployment?

Devaluation.

QuoteHave the Brits any effn idea where they go from here?

Absolutely none.

The problem with devaluation nowadays is that everyone is doing it.  :D

Germany tried that after world war 1. And it took 2 wheelbarrrows of German marks to buy a loaf of bread.

Thank God for chip and pin  :P

I had an argument on Facebook with someone in Dublin who would welcome border controls. If 'they' want to stop us going into the UK, we should stop 'them' coming to the ROI. I pointed out that a lot of 'them' were actually 'us' and worked daily in Dublin, and consider themselves Irish, and not only that but are guaranteed to be Irish under our constitution. Would we really want Irish people, working in Dublin, to be inconvenienced with a border every morning.

The response was that ye are not Irish. So hard luck lads. Even though the constitution says you are part of the Irish Nation, and Citizens of the ROI, as far as she was concerned, only people born in the 26 counties are Irish.

Sometimes I hate people.

Probably harder to sell a United Ireland to someone like that than a TUV voter!

Lads. A border? Yes or no? If so what'll it involve? Soldiers or 'officials'
I think there'll be willingness on both sides to leave the border as is.
Common Travel Agreement will remain. So long as Ireland doesn't join Schengen, which we won't.

My guess is there'll be a bit more security at ferry terminals on both sides, to bring it in line with the airlines.

I wouldn't be so sure on that, a "hard" border between north and south would suit the DUP and their supporters down to the ground.

Possibly a border around the whole of Ireland.
The infrastructure is there in Airports & Ports for Passport control, on the roads around the north it is not.
So anyone going into/ out of England, Scotland and Wales will require a passport.

Jesus we are bad. I've never seen a team as bad for just hoofing the ball up the field all the time.

f**ks sake. I'm attributing that to the Irish tradition of 'you'll sing anything if you drunk enough'. Dopes. Still I suppose at least they are all getting along.

What were they singing I couldn't make it out?

Yes, Meath should not have traipsed the team around the county on Sunday when the world and his mother knew the result was likely to be overturned.

And I addressed your point re Hawkeye. I saw it happen, I just can't remember which game. Maybe one of the other lads will remember. The description of its function is there above in my second last post.

Do you think Meath GAA are right here? What would your optimum scenario be? Meath win, even though the referee's report says it was a draw? Now that's ridiculous.

As for Hawkeye maintaining the score, of course it could. It's computer software, it can do whatever you program it to do. But that is moot. As I've said before, the official arbiter is the referee. He obviously gave Meath wrong information in the 63rd minute or whenever they asked, but the gospel is his match report. That report says draw, and if every scoreboard in Croke PArk and on TG4 says different, it doesn't matter a shite.


I kinda feel sorry for Meath and as Sea the Stars says you play the game in front of you. You ask for official clarification on the score (as did Antrim) and both were told the scoreboard was right. At this point we have to presume that the referees notebook was the same as the scoreboard.
What were they meant to do?

I presume its common protocol for a referee to tally the scores right after the game ends, no?

If after the game the referee realised his mistake then he and the Croke Park team should have had the cahonies to stop the presentation and announce on the tannoy that there'd been a mistake.

I get the distinct impression that the referees notebook had a Meath victory and it was only after reviewing the game that the proper scoreline has come out.

An absolute mess with no winners.

Perfectly summed up my thoughts as well ^^^^

I thought Joey was quite good. Evans was terrible. The trio before worked well, just like 3 blokes in a garage would behave, standing around discussing cars. Evans is annoying and loud. Doesn't suit this kind of thing. He behaved like it was TFI.

Bingo, exactly what I thought as well.

I'll still watch it despite Evans.

I don't think there will be a Brexit either.
As disgruntled as your average Brit is at the moment they fear change just as much as most people. Better the devil you know and all that. Similar situation as the Scottish Independence vote and we know how that went.

There just hasn't been a clear view as to what the situation would be outside the EU.
