He has described you as a "massive shit stirrer" and he will fill me in on Monday.
He is one to talk!! I reckon I copped more than my fair share including a biorhythm chart based on the sporting fortunes of Forest and PAFC.

I believed in having a bit of fun at work, but not at the expense of getting the job done. I achieved that during my time at AGD up until the CSTA sh!t storm, then it was time to move on.

The Liquid Jules part came about as part of the preparation for my 25th Wedding Anniversary so my colleagues went on a mission to help me out. They found a photo of a guy wearing silver lycra aka Liquid Silver. They then got me to produce a similar pose and photoshopped my head on the body. I used that pic in a card I made for my wife.

As for the KY inference. I found a site where they provided various samples of products and sent it to a couple of work colleagues, Unfortunately one of them was not around at the time of delivery and the boss (female) opened it. It was not labeled personal and they thought it may have been work related. Nothing came of it.

A couple of others things that came up at that time, not led by me, were:

1) Ordering Pizzas for a team that had their own planning day. They had already organised their lunch.
2) Songs for My Ute
3) Where's Malcolm.

When I catch up with a couple of those guys. either over a coffee or at the Footy, we do say that they were good times.

I hope this starts a cascade of EU leavers and a total break up. That said, politics will ensure it will take at least two years before any formal "leaving" is done. Therefore, share markets will wake up monday and not give a shit.
The irony is if they hadn't held on so hard to the money pit that is Greece, they probably wouldn't be losing one of the net contributers instead. A free trade area without a common currency or control from Brussels would be the best solution. Each country can work to its strengths whilst keeping some integration.

It will, but where does that leave your politics? For trade it's a fantastic organisation, does that not matter anymore?

my younger sisters are on holiday in the uk right now

not sure if they should be worried for race backlash or excited for their surprise shopping spree
There won't be a race backlash.
If anything the racists will be shocked they've won and wondering who they can blame for ******* up their lives now.

The UK had nothing to do with the Greek financial crisis as it wasn't in the euro. In fact thanks to it, the UK avoided big issues that would have arisen...as did the rest of the world.

As for the second comment, what do you think the EU does to stifle trade? It's there to ENCOURAGE trade and raise standards.

The hysteria is incredible. From the outside looking in you wonder what the fuss is really about. It may shift some relationships, markets and politics but really it's not going to make a huge difference aside from the UK not having a leash attached all the way from Brussells.

80+ years ago the great depression lead to bloodshed. The GFC didn't cause 25% unemployment,or people starving, so people stayed somewhat calm and central bankers and governments did learn from history and stopped a catastrophe. However a massive Trust Deficit was established.

But nearly a decade on, that Trust Deficit is leading to political bloodshed. Leaders of traditional philosophies are being killed off by societies, at the first chance they get to do so.

The fact big business, big unions, big government, big banks, finance markets etc all said vote to Remain in the EU, because of the economics involved, shows how massive the Trust Deficit is. Its why we have had 5 prime ministers in 6 years and could have our 6th, despite Australia being relatively shielded from the ravages of the GFC.
