Happy for the beany people but I really don't like runners.
Thanks @Obelixx hahahah... there aren't many Jersey beans left now @Obelixx at one point we were in a minority in our place of birth but, I believe its 50-50 now. Not keen on runners myself either. Now I just need to persuade my kids to get off there arse's and apply for their birth right. Shame it doesn't extend to grandkids they would probably benefit more.

@Dovefromabove So sorry for you Dove and all those like you in your position. Hopefully the Lunacy will be reversed in a future referendum so at least our Grandkids can re-join the community that is Europe.

By the time there is the option to rejoin 'the community that is Europe', I very much doubt it will look anything like it does currently. At present a couple of countries effectively decide what the rules will be and the rest are expected to do as they are told if they want to continue getting subsidies.

That is just simply wrong!
"Every action taken by the EU is founded on the treaties that have been approved democratically by its members. The treaties are binding agreements between EU countries and set out EU objectives, rules for EU institutions, how decisions are made and the relationship between the EU and its members. Treaties are the starting point for EU law.
The EU can only act in those areas where its member countries have authorised it to do so, via the EU treaties. The treaties specify who can pass laws in what areas: the EU, national governments or both."
As I recall the EU had rules on national debt limits being a proportion of that country's GDP. The first two countries to break those limits were France and Germany, and they went unpunished. Try telling Greece every country in the EU is treated the same.

You said that a couple of EU country's decided the rules and I pointed out that they do not. That is patently the case as evidenced in my previous post. What your latest post has to do with that I have no idea.
But I can say that Greece was virtually bankrupt and about to default on Sovereign debt and was bailed out effectively by the largest contributors to the EU Germany, France and the UK via the ECB and the IMF. Lucky for Greece they were in the EU at the time .
But its good news for the UK now that there out £350 million per week is going in to the national health now isn't it Where did we park that damn bus?

Misinformation and misunderstanding about how the EU functions is rife @Kili.
Back to RTBC then - new knee day 11. The deep injections of pain meds to the nerves worked well till day 9 but by then healing was advanced enough to leave me with little pain that can't be managed with paracetamol. just the odd twinge to handle. The knee flexing machine is working fine as are the exercises.
The heatwave means I can't go walkies as it induces too much swelling but the physio chappy I'm seeing every other day has very inventive ways of working the muscles. I then get to spend hours on the sofa with A4 sized ice blocks wrapped around my leg.
I can now sit at a normal angle at the dinner table and sleep in my usual position on my side. This all bodes well for dancing again when classes start in late September.

Glad you’re taking it steady 😊 … @WonkyWomble will tell you Papa Womble didn’t and he went back to golf and dancing too soon and ended up back in hospital very poorly indeed on a drip for quite some time.
