Ditto. Won't happen again in my lifetime... I hope!
Yup.
I'm in the office with my business partner with BBC News rolling continually, its fascinating and terrifying in equal measures.
Me too, and as a brit in Europe I am becoming rather afraid for my future ( I wasn't too bad until this morning when bojo promised to protect the rights of brits in europe, then it really hit home how ****ed and precarious my position is).

Me too, though in my defence my inbound work load has collapsed since Thursday.
when bojo promised
Aren't the politicians learning? No one can promise anything*. This is unchartered territory.
*except perhaps serving article 50, which I notice no one has promised yet 😉
What did I miss?
Just turned on the BBC News and it's shitting Wimbledon.

It's like a car crash on a multi lane highway.

national productivity must be thru the floor
Jeremy Corbyn holds crisis talks with shadow cabinet :

I'm trying to avoid it now (with little sucess) really things need to clam down a bit and you can never forgot news agencies need to stoke the flames as much as possible to boast figures.
The last peice of the puzzle now is Corbin running out of MPs to appoint to his cabinet resiging, once that's done we can at least look forward to a few weeks of normality-ish -they're meant to be back from recess today, obviously that's gone to crap - but they're off on their holidays on the 21st of July for 8 weeks anyway.

Along with everything else then.
+1. It's difficult to get much done in between facebook and posting on here so this is doing nothing for my productivity 🙂

I havent turned on my calculator since Friday breakfast.
It's mesmerising.
Hallelujah....Jamie's back 😀 .....i no longer care about Brexit!
An eye on each. Not sure where my tired brain is though.
Trying not to but it is compelling

That's OK our labour rate is much lower these days anyway.
All this political turmoil is doing a great job of distracting me from looking at the Game of Thrones thread which undoubtedly contains spoilers for the season finale.
Good Work Politicians!
Jamie 😀
Hallelujah....Jamie's back .....i no longer care about Brexit!
He's actually one of the five horsemen of the apocalypse; Death, Famine, War, Conquest and GIF's.
Excellent work Jamie 😆
Is Jamie like some sort of super hero, only appearing at times of great crisis?
Jamie McPhee?
amazing what he can do with only one hand.

When at work, tonight it's preacher
I was glued to it Friday and over the weekend, starting to do my best to stay away from it now.
It all sounds bad, and will go on for weeks/months. I want to think about bikes and sun, not what that lot in Westminster are/aren't doing.
yup, my productivity has dropped off completely. the good thing is I'm not alone as EU related conversations are passing through the office like buses, nothing for 20mins then 3 come along at once!

I read a 'celebratory' Brexit post over the weekend that I'm still annoyed about, I currently want to print it on 500 sheets and beat anyone who shares it with the truth, probably until their skull is a messy pulp of bone fragments and brain tissue. I haven't been taking the news well so far though, also today is the first day I've been sober since the result and it's not going well.

Saw some great graffiti plastered over a 'Leave' sign on the A14: "You stupid idiots!" with a little heart and 'EU' inside that.
Brightened up my drive it did, given that it was one of the first signs that continental truck drivers would see as they left the port and headed into the country. Shows that at least some people in a town that relies on export/import to the continent appreciate them.
I'm not getting much work done as I'm having to spend some time fielding calls from members of my team that are worried. I work for a global consultancy and the bit of it I run includes several EU (and other) nationals living and working in the UK, as well as a near-shore team based in Portugal - so quite a few concerned individuals.
Just need one more before 5 o'clock:

Angela Eagle has gone
Both the Eagles went around lunchtime IIRC
Already gone? There's going to be a heartache tonight for Jeremy.
He's still got Diane Abbot there to keep him company.
The one annoying constant in modern life....
Dianne Abbot.
I've got the radio on listening to Daves statement. There are repeated appeals for calm after the increase in racially motivated attacks
Though the Tory scumbags who's stroking of racial tensions to suit their own ends aren't in the house to hear them.
Boris or Gove really are the lowest form of human life. This is their fault, and they've not even got the balls to front up to it!
Your bingo card needs updating: as noted above both Eagles gone as have Berger, Healey, Smith, Nandy, Griffith and Green.
Gove was there.
And Tom Watson has told him to bugger off as well, resignation or no resignation.
Is it quicker to list who's left?
Gove was there? Tim Farron didn't seem to think so.
Already gone? There's going to be a heartache tonight for Jeremy.
Oh, well done! 🙂
Gove was there? Tim Farron didn't seem to think so.
Plenty of other people saw him.
"I read a 'celebratory' Brexit post over the weekend that I'm still annoyed about, I currently want to print it on 500 sheets and beat anyone who shares it with the truth,"
Was that the one about the £ bouncing back and the stockmarket recovering and the roof not falling in? i wanted to hunt down the prat that posted that .
and they've not even got the balls to front up to it!
In their defence balls was to be found on the labour benches back when he had a seat.
I work for an environmental organisation so, although there's some staring at it all in disbelief, there's also a practical job because we need to start campaigning for the EU laws we want to keep and ensuring that the funding the EU put into projects which benefit the environment isn't lost.
Yep, I look at the BBC News first thing in the morning, throughout the day, on here and the odd occasional links. It's mesmirising, but I don't think it's doing me any good. Most shocking is the excuses I've seen for voting leave.
It seems most of the talk and headlines is all doom and gloom, can someone tell me the real facts for this being a good thing, a good thing to leave the EU? Doesn't seem to be much in the news about this being good, or am I not looking in the right places. I probably don't frequent the right type of forums or read the right papers where they'll be banging on about how this is so good. Even those few at work that have voted out only seem to go on about how 'change is good', 'we'll see' or just come to the conclusion that it's good because it's what the country decided ... 😕
Can't stop watching. Coincided with a couple of week's hols spent at home.
Next up on the Nasty Benches, Mrs Ming the Merciless in "The Big Takeover"followed by "Armageddon Day" in the Labour Tragedy.
It is utterly fascinating.
The fact that the government made it deliberately not legally binding, the fact they have shunted it to the next leader (making leadership a poisoned chalice), then that it needs to get approved by parliament (a pro-europe majority by a long way), and add to that a fixed term parliament so no election until 2020.
All of the above has made this utterly transfixing.
I just hope that whatever happens this makes people finally take notice of politics in this country.
But I wouldn't bet against us remaining in the EU at the end of it
i have only got 800mb of data left and 11 days to go .
never going to make it .........
This may be the optimist in me, but I have a feeling that, eventually, Gove and Johnson are going to be buried in the political equivalent of unmarked graves.
cchris2lou - Memberi have only got 800mb of data left and 11 days to go .

Haha, work has public wifi, only issue is making sure batteries last the day
the chancellor has appeared despite being missing for the last few days, gove and the others who voted out have also gone very quiet,while JC`s christmas card list is shrinking faster than a governments dept budget, but hey ho hes getting a lot of support from us ordinary peeps.
Where all these new laws, punishment budget, mass migration out we where told was going to happen by the out lot, nothing seems to have happened as yet.
possibly the govt are a tad distracted by the economy going off a cliff the BOE splashing a huge wedge of cash in a failed attempt to stabilise the pound (the brexit website post described this as the pound bouncing back! as if it was a rubber ball) and us losing the triple A credit rating. Nothing seems to have happened yet apart from that possibly cos the govt are trying to avoid an appearance of panic to try and help stabilise both the markets and currency.
This may be the optimist in me, but I have a feeling that, eventually, Gove and Johnson are going to be buried in the political equivalent of unmarked graves.
I'd rather their graves were marked by a warning sign to future generations about being a **** in public office and treating peoples lives as pieces in a game.
I'm beginning to think Mrs Ming may be the only one to pull us out of this. Horrible thought i know but I can imagine heads being banged together.

Bojo....
'this sociopath with no concern for country, economy or citizens will be our prime minister'
Nope - not working and not glued to any politics or other bollocks either.
Was at Wimbledon yesterday and still reading the Guardian Business Feed in all the breaks, just to see by how much more my pension had collapsed......
Footflaps has it. My occupational scheme had a £500M hole in it before Friday. I'm 2 years from being able to draw a reduced pension and getting it paid for the rest of my life. If I'm lucky it might still be there when I need it. The support fund won't pay out the same you can be damn sure.
I haven't dared log on and see how much I'm down yet....
Scary, SIPP down 10% in £ alone....
