But pay you will...

Feb 11th, 2017 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse +3“But pay you will…” They certainly would have to pay what ever they had previously legally contracted to pay. But, I’m unable to find anything pertaining to such an obligation in the Treaty of Lisbon for example. Perhaps you could reveal where this requirement is.

We are relaxed Tinkle, we won't pay anything like that. The EU inhabit the same alternate universe as you, your puppet and wee Jimmy.

Feb 11th, 2017 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just checked the Lisbon treaty and I was unable to find anything pertaining to paying for your drinks either...
Does this mean it's legal not to pay for drinks in the EU...?
Or is it Customary in law to do so...?

UK will perhaps pay into specific Capital construction projects it signed up to that may be still ongoing at exit date - eg a 5yr project only signed up to a yr ago.
As for the rest- NIL.
As for Pensions - well no UK in means less beaurocrats needed = wages savings they can transfer partly to pension funds.

Feb 11th, 2017 - 06:14 pm - Link - Report abuse +3So your unable to find any support for your claim “But pay you will…” as there is no exit tax under Article 50. “The devil is in the details”, and you’ve come up decidedly empty handed. So the UK could rightly tell them to go and fly a kite.
The BBC Has woken up,
Feb 11th, 2017 - 08:32 pm - Link - Report abuse +3after Brexit was very good and honest at last about the European union,
even the most indoctrinated euro fanatic can now believe its finished and may well crash ,
when it will crash, depends it seems on corrupt EU officials storing it up, and when it crashes,
it would be better for all if the EU just did the right thing and see us on our way to a new future,
but no, they would rather cut of there noses and ears to spit their ugly mugs,
they have more chances of merkle marrying trump than we have of paying a single penny.
just my humble opinion..

We, Voice. If you really pay tax in the UK, you'll be paying it too.
Feb 12th, 2017 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse +3Tinkle, the UK will pay what we consider is right and proper, no more. And, this will be offset by our part of the value of EU's assets which have been funded by the enormous financial contributions that the UK has paid over the last 40 years. You seem to pass over the UK's considerable financial accumen that makes us one of the worlds leading financial centres. But that is understandable as you seem to be suffering from Argentinian walnut brain syndrome.

Feb 12th, 2017 - 10:37 am - Link - Report abuse +2“The UK will pay their financial commitments accrued whilst being an EU member” Other than your usual unsupported nonsense, nowhere is there any proof of such a claim. So since none is forthcoming, the EU better get in line behind Argentina and expect to remain equally unfulfilled.

It is customary for people retiring from an organisation to RECEIVE a parting gift for their services and contributions, As the UK has over-contributed to this moribund institution since joining, we should be given a farewell monetary award in recognition of our previous largesse in keeping the olive belt countries afloat.

Heh heh heh, it is a manual Voice with the Triumph V8 and overdrive flick switch. Many go for upwards of 10 grand these days, prices are going up. Been all over the UK and done a lot of European jaunts in it. Great grand tourer with plenty of room for luggage, the fact that gets missed by all the motoring pundits.

Well, anyone who lives their lives on beautiful, wildlife friendly, windswept and often unhospitable South Atlantic Islands has my respect and admiration. A place where their families lived for generations. Sorry but I can't warm to people who continually berate and attempt to intimidate them. Especially when it involves a highly dubious territorial claim.
Feb 15th, 2017 - 08:06 pm - Link - Report abuse +3Stag - Triumph V8 is the Achilles Heel of that car - in reality, two Dolomite 4 cyl. engines cobbled together.
Feb 15th, 2017 - 10:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They could have used the Rover/Buick small V8 already in the BMC/Leyland stable.
Everyone is a Stag expert! Clean the block and head waterway core sand and the engine is fine. Lots in Oz, Arizona etc. When folk fitted the Rover engines the front wheels locked resulting in lots of shunts. Rover equipped Stags fetch very poor money, they are shunned.

Feb 16th, 2017 - 01:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think the Stag is a lovely car - I would love to own one.
I imagine if they had been originally engineered to fit the Rover V8, those problems it exhibits with retrofits would not exist.
Nice to hear that you overcame the issues with the Triumph 8 and enjoy it.
If only others had such constructive information to add.
Had a TR8, it was actually a TR7 upgraded with the Rover V8 and upgraded brakes and suspension...it was like shit off a stick and no engine problems whatsoever...great car...
Feb 16th, 2017 - 01:15 am - Link - Report abuse -1So it would probably have worked for the Stag...
Too late, fuck head. You could have started off by saying something relevant.

Apply the brakes and very little happens as the front wheels lock and slide. 8000 Stags still exist. 4000 owners in the Stag owners Club, the biggest single marque UK classic car Club. There is an industry removing Rover engines.
Note for Think ....I recently had a Beema owner sidle up to me and whisper “I wish my car sounded like that...”. ;-))))

Feb 16th, 2017 - 06:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +2I presume you are taking the piss! A RR Trent would produce 14,133 BHP at 100mph
It is also weighs10,440lbs and is 13 feet long ! I see why you did not keep it....the e type's fuel tank was not big enough !
I had a Ford Anglia in the 1960's which I worked on and managed to increase the BHP TO 42 from 37. I could do 0-60 in 15.7 secs if I was pointing downhill with a following wind.
I would suggest ..in the best Monty Python mould...that this topic is getting too silly !
